Comment by endolex"After 30 seconds, the Loyal Stoneborn will fly off which means you don't actually need to kill this mob with a Venthyr in your group!"

I'm very glad they thought of this - usually mindcontrol mechanics are a hassle because it often just means having to kill the mob later.Comment by TontokamThis is great. A useful but not overpowerful Bonus. Good job Blizz!Comment by Ralph2449that's so coolComment by scintilla01BTW really good buff i would say!Comment by SambergI wonder if the mob will count toward M+ % when it disappears?Comment by ramajukoI wonder if the mob will count toward M+ % when it disappears?Comment by MikhailovNow when it's the MinMax edgelord faction everyone is ok with it?

yep sounds about right....Comment by BorbarsaNow when it's the MinMax edgelord faction everyone is ok with it?

yep sounds about right....Comment by qaccyNow even mind control is a borrowed power...I'll bet this one use is more than the actual Mind Control spell will get all throughout the expansion.Comment by AcusiontNow when it's the MinMax edgelord faction everyone is ok with it?

yep sounds about right....Comment by TerrassenI am assuming this mind controlled NPCs' damage will be nerfed to oblivion judging by how Blizzard instantly kills anything that is considered fun, what I think it will do damage-wise is a mere 1-5% of the total dps from the person that mind controlled it. Not to mention that the cooldown on this ability will most likely be long (10 minutes?) or players would just abuse this ability to clear trash quickly in Mythic+.

So performance-wise it might be useless- but if you look at it practically, the advantage in Mythic+ might be to reduce Bolstering/Bursting stacks or to simply generally reduce overall damage taken and to make the dungeon a bit quicker with the help of less trash to kill.Comment by RichardMNixonLooking at the provided logs, the mob did about 2.5% of the entire party's damage through the course of the dungeon (I think it was summoned multiple times).Comment by GenarosCool interaction!

But, 30 seconds sounds like a bit underwhelming, although you don't have to kill it end it the MC ends. Well, numbers can always change for better tuning. Hopefully they can balance it.Comment by Olympus3129Now when it's the MinMax edgelord faction everyone is ok with it?

yep sounds about right....Comment by TheRedRogueI'm curious if these mobs will scale correctly when they are on your side, especially on a bolstering fortified week. Might be a really easy way to have a super powered dude fight for you for a bit if you bolster the crap out of him first, and then subdue him.

With 8 of them at 30 seconds each, that's only 4 minutes of them being around throughout the whole dungeon, but if you bolstered the crap out of each one, they could become potentially super beefy bois, I bet.. interesting. Unless of course any bolstering stacks go away when you subdue them.Comment by RaybezeSee this one seems crazy useful.

You o my need 1 person to use it alsoComment by deathlavitzThis is great, but does it use any abilities you can control? What are the highlight of this mobs abilities? Does it hit hard, stuns, cc's has aoe?Comment by Segano"After 30 seconds, the Loyal Stoneborn will fly off which means you don't actually need to kill this mob with a Venthyr in your group!"
