Zul'Gurub

Scarlet Crusader Side

 * 1) Crimson Sorcerer - Polymorph/Arcane Missiles/Fireblast/counterspell/Very very high DPS while spamming AM/blast and polymorph on those 4 pulls are VERY useful Note: Spells may do more dmg than tooltipped due to a non-player MCable skill which increases their spell dmg. I've had AMs hit for 800+ non crit every 1.5 seconds with these guys if they use it as I try to cast MC on them
 * 2) Crimson Priest - Power Word : Shield/Heal (Large)/Holy fire (High dmg, long cooldown) Note: Power word shield from these npcs STACK with priest version. As the PW:S from NPC DOES NOT GIVE WEAKENED SOUL DEBUFF. PW:S x2 on someone = invul almost, only limiter is cooldown.
 * 3) Crimson Battle Mage - Blast Wave/Arcane Explosion Note: Ever envy mages for their AEs or hate how crappy holy nova is? Mind control one of these and let her/him rip on 3-4 DPSs. It's just ridiculous the dmg they pump out and it makes mages cry!
 * 4) Crimson Gallant - Holy Strike(Holy dmg)/Crusader Strike(Increases holy dmg, debuff)/Devotion aura or Retribution aura (I forget which it was) Note: Bring a paladin and make them cry using these guy's skills. Very high DPS for a melee NPC. The aura from the NPC paladin WILL overwrite player paladin aura if they put up the same auras. Player paladin can put up other auras though.
 * 5) Crimson Conjurer - Fireblast/frostnova/frostbolt Note: No you can't summon elementals
 * 6) Crimson Initiates - Flash heal/Mindblast/Renew (Ticks for 200-300+)/Mana burn(?)
 * 7) Crimson Monk - Thrash (2 extra attacks)/Snapkick (Stun/knock down)
 * 8) Crimson Guardsman - Charge/shield bash/disarm
 * 9) Crimson Defenders - Paladin immunity shield/Hammer of Justice (stun)/Heal/Aura(?) Note: Using the immunity shield also makes him immune to mind control.
 * 10) Crimson Inquisitors - Shadow word pain/crappy other skill

Baron/Dead side

 * 1) Thuzudian Necromancer - Soul Tap (Mana/hp drain)/Bone Armor/Shadowbolt(?) Note: Bone armor is like PW:S but lasts longer and absorbs a LOT more dmg, low cooldown

Bootnote Thanks to all the people in the old thread for all the information; most notably Nuvdar, who made a huge post with a bunch of the high-end instances. The old version of this thread had a fair few lowbie instances listed as well, such as SM, ZF and BFD. So if you want to help out, run to the lowbie instances and mind control everything in sight, and report your findings back here. I'll try and make a couple of runs if I don't get dragged into other things, I've still never been to SFK, so I might make that my first stop. I will check this thread pretty regularly to update.

Thankee.

Burning Crusade Instances
As of 2.1, Mind Control effects are not working properly with some creatures in Heroic instances. This has been acknowledged by Blizzard and they are working on a fix.

Hellfire Ramparts



 * Bleeding Hollow Darkcaster: These are the best to MC. Has scorch and rain of fire. Great AoE for the dogs. The scorch deals about 2000dmg every cast, and the 1.5 sec cast has no cooldown.


 * Bleeding Hollow Scryer: Casts a short fear and shadowbolt. Shadowbolt has 3sec cast and does around 1.7k dmg, with no extra cooldown.


 * Bonechewer Beastmaster: currently bugged in heroic (06/01/07)


 * Bonechewer Destroyer: Immune to MC


 * Bonechewer Hungerer: currently bugged in heroic (06/01/07)


 * Hellfire Watcher: 2 around Watchkeeper Gargolmar, immune to mind control.

 * Murkblood Oracle: Varies in spell class. If frost, then has Frostbolt and Frost Nova. If fire, then has scorch and rain of fire (unconfirmed). Unknown about shadow abilities.


 * Murkblood Spearman: Both abilities are ranged - cannot use them in close combat. Has a DoT that depletes mana (viper sting) Also can cast "throw" which does significant damage and has no cooldown. This throw command is slightly bugged; it will not display the cooldown, so the priest must spam click the button to maximize efficiency.

The Steamvault

 * Slavemaster: Geyser and Disarm.  If you pull with a MC, no slaves come.
 * Sorcerer: Blizzard, Frostbolt, Frost Nova
 * Siren: AoE Fear, Moonfire, Lightning Bolt
 * Myrmidon: Sweeping Strikes, Cleave, Execute
 * Oracle: AoE Silence, Heal, Frost Shock

 * Ethereum Wave-Caster: Polymorph, instant Counterspell+Knockback ability

The Eye

 * Tempest-Smith: Bomb - AOE spell which currently has no global cooldown, can produce over 4000 DPS when used continuously. Well worth controlling with a hunter trap as backup. Recommend they are sheeped during the pull, to be broken with shadow word pain before mind controlling immediately afterwards. Using Tempest-Smiths to kill Void Reaver is considered an exploit, but using Tempest-Smiths to kill the pack they come with, is not an exploit.
