The control is like a Priest's Mind Control; your point of view shifts to the target machine, and you have a pet bar with their abilities. Your character stands motionless for the duration. Possible backfires are self explanitory.

Kommentar von Minorou

This trinket comes in handy in Gnomeregan, where a large portion of the mobs there are mechanical.

Note that the enemy mob you control can also attack other enemy mobs - therefore, in tricky situations, not only do you have one less enemy to deal with, you get a temporary ally to fight for you!

Can be used to control Fel Reavers in Hellfire Peninsula.

Kommentar von h0pe

You can controll almost any mechanical NPC with this. I controlled the boss in Dead Mine with this, Fel Reavers in Hellfire Peninsula, the elite mobs in the far north-east.

Have fun controlling mobs and running havoc with this sweet trinket, watch out when it backfires though!

ps. The Fel Reavers hit very hard :p

Kommentar von Bunneh

The Fel Reavers are now Immune to the effects of this item. And yes they do hit hard :)

Kommentar von Zeshar

The backfire effect on this is "Target Lock".

5000 threat.

Has anyone tried this inside Mechnar, lots of mechs in there?

Kommentar von 78626

I made one of these and couldn't get the dang thing to work after many trys so I destroyed it, then read about how people were controling all kinds of things and having a blast so I made another and still had no luck and never controlled any mechs (the reavers in westfall) so I destroyed it again. After reading this page I'm thinking of giving it one last try, lets hope for the best.

Kommentar von stoptherobots

I can confirm after five tries (and deaths) that the Fel Reaver is now immune to this device. Too bad...

Kommentar von Lighter

Heres a small list of those which i have tested can / cannot be controled, as of 2.1.3

Fel Reaver (Hellfire) - Immune
Fel Reaver (Near Kazzak) - Immune
Fel Reaver Sentry (Abyssal Shelf - Hellfire) - Immune
Doomwalker (Shadowmoon) - Immune
Tempest-Forge Patroller (Mech) - Immune to Control (not immune to root / threat)
Fel Cannon (Abyssal Shelf - Hellfire) - Not Immune, but only has a weak melee so useless
Fel Cannon MKI (Hellifre) - Not Immune
Toshley Flying Machine ( Blade's Edge) - Not Immune, Horde only i guess, have to fly in land at a spot where you are in range then use before they fire at you

Basically the device can be fun and at lower level usefull but most high level usefull stuff is immune, it also has a resonably high backfire chance.

This is now my favorite trinket.

I can tell you now after some testing that there is almost no mechanical unit in the game, from the Curator to Void Reaver, that is immune to this trinket, at least the mind control aspect of it. The reason that many people get an "immune" message when using it is because it has a chance to instead of MCing the target, root it in place. this causes an immune message for most things, because the fun stuff to mind control, like Fel Reavers, are immune to CC and root spells.

The large robots in Arcatraz (the ones you find half-broken) are not immune to this. Be sure you pull them before using it, however, or you end up controlling a dormant bot, which is no use.
This was VERY useful back when Arcatraz had the double bot pull... not so much now that it has been nerfed.

Kommentar von Grandomega

This is rediculous! I finally get my hands on one of these just to find out that its one of the most useless items for engineers at high levels! Most (if not all) of the useful mechs to control are immune to at least one of the effects this thing causes.

I dont see why Fel Reavers were made immune to it. Surely not everyone would take control of one to send it into the other faction's base in HFP.

What else is useful for a high level engineer? The Goblin Rocket Launcher stuns you for just as long as your target, the Gnomish Poyltriser turns your target into a chicken that can still kick your ass if its a strong opponent. The best thing is the FLying Machine thats still in the works & the goggles, IMO.

Kommentar von FroRev

Shattered Sun Sentries are immune to this remote's mind control effect.

Kommentar von Bsmx93

Made one at level 10, never worked for me until level 15, now it has like a 85%, at level 18 I hacked Sneed's Shredder first try. But Sneed's Shredder doesn't count as a real boss, hes like a mini boss, the real boss is Sneed, he cannot be mind controlled.

Edit: Changed it around a little.

Kommentar von 76913

maby it can tame Doomwalker (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=17711 ) or The Curator (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=15691 )... or Void Reaver (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=19516 )
)))

The Area 52 Death Machines ain't immune, this makes roof top camping possible.

Kommentar von 176454

they are immune, at least in 2.4. its also good at flagging noobs in westfall

Kommentar von Cogzwell

one of my favorites i like to use it just to see what abilities mechanicals have like harvest reaper has shred, is there a spot on this site that says what abilities controlled mechs have?

Kommentar von 156620

Are the harvest golems in Westfall immune to this? Been trying quite a bit and still no luck... Just aggros them.

Kommentar von 45315

Gnome Defender - 209 can be controlled but its extremly hard since its surrounded by guards, i controlled it and then instantly got killed by guards

Its also really fun to control Toshley Flying Machine, its a bit hard to control them since they fly away when you have controlled them, but when you controll them, they cant fly anymore >.< but they have the 100yd range Rocket Luancher attack that knocks enemys back.

Kommentar von Ketho

All Battleground Vehicles & Turrets are completely immune to Mind Control, Root and Threat =((
Strand of the Ancients --- Battleground Demolisher & Antipersonnel Cannon
Wintergrasp --- Wintergrasp Catapult, Wintergrasp Demolisher, Wintergrasp Siege Engine (H) & Wintergrasp Siege Turret (H)
Isle of Conquest --- Catapult, Glaive Thrower (H), Demolisher, Siege Engine (H), Siege Turret (H), Flame Turret (H) & Keep Cannon
failedType = "Target can't be charmed", "Immune (Mobility Malfunction)", "Immune (Target Lock)"

Universal Remote == 8344
Control Machine == 8345 (Mind Control)
Mobility Malfunction == 8346 (20sec Root)
Target Lock == 8347 (5000 Threat)

Kommentar von Glom

I tested this on Library Guardian, Ancient Sentinel and Stormforged Contruct on herioc mode, and they all "cannot be charmed". But they can be rooted.
I also tried Clockwork Assistant, but he's an "invalid target". Probably because he's friendly.
I'm not aware of anything that this works on in wotlk.

Weak.

Kommentar von thedarkhaze

This works on the mechanical units in The Geyser Fields in Borean Tundra, but they don't have much use other than novelty.

Kommentar von dongilles

Does anyone know if there is any use for this in Ulduar?

Kommentar von 379270

It seems that this items usefullness has ceased. I would have liked to use it in WG and SoA but it appears tanks are immune. They really should change the tooltip to "Some" Mechanical units, cause it only seems 25% or so can be controlled.

It still has a 3 minute cooldown, equiping it means the loss of whatever trinket you had in the spot before, and the MC is easily interuptable. I don't see why this should'nt work on vehicles and guns

Kommentar von Ketho

Target Dummies immune to MC, but not immune to Root & Threat
Heroic Training Dummy failedType = "Target can't be charmed"
Grandmaster's Training failedType = "Target can't be charmed"
Master's Training Dummy failedType = "Immune (Control Machine)"
Expert's Training Dummy failedType = "Immune (Control Machine)"

i used this on both Crowd Pummeler 9-60 and Electrocutioner 6000 today. made gnomer a bit more fun :)

Kommentar von Crymoar

One has to wonder how a machine can become very very angry, or feel any emotion at all for that matter.

Kommentar von N0VIS

This works on the second boss in the deadmines. I can never resist using it on the mobs. =P

Edit: The old second boss of the deadmines. =/

Kommentar von lunamoonraker

Be aware post Cataclysm obtaining the Fläschchen Öl required to make this is now only available on a low (1-3%) salvage rate (does not drop anymore only salvageable by Engineers) and will require some hours of farming.

Unless you have some still in your bank from the days when they dropped a lot in Westfall off the mechanicals there.

Kommentar von robertalexstorm

Can be used to control Mechachicken on the Lost Isles. Submitting Screenshot.

Kommentar von CircleofHealing

First comment for 9 years! I can report that this level 16 trinket can be used on Mecagon on a level 60 Rampaging Scrapbot & Malfunctioning Scraphound. Pulled it out of Void Storage for the LOLs.

if you are a hunter you'll have to dismiss your pet.
