Mind control duration is partly controlled by distance.The only notable use for MC in battlegrounds is when used near a high cliff, where you can simply make the enemy 'walk the plank' to his own doom. Mind Control CAN be used on enemy players in PvP settings, such as Battlegrounds, however, this is considered unwise, as the MCed enemy becomes an 'ally' for the duration, thus cannot be attacked by other members of your faction (this is particularly dangerous for enemies with HoTs, such as Druids, as the spells will continue to heal them).See also a List of mind controllable mobs for information on MC-able enemies as well as their locations and special abilities. The WoW Priest forums have a stickied thread with a variety of uses for Mind Control, which can be found here. The signature usage of MC in PvP is to MC an enemy player atop a tower or other high place and then run that player off the edge, causing a large amount of falling damage (if not death).

You can even MC other players, although you are limited to melee attacks while doing so.

Apparently, mobs don't like having their free will stripped away by someone they can kill in two hits.Д®lite mobs can generally be MCed, but not bosses. To this date it is not clear precisely how much threat Mind Control causes, but it is very substantial вЂ“ a priest who releases a mob for it to be killed in an instance is well advised to do nothing else to generate threat until aggro has been rock-solidly established by a tanking character. Death (of the priest or the MCed target), silences, and some other abilities will entirely disrupt the spell.Д¬asting Mind Control generates a great deal of threat from the controlled mob against the priest who controlled it. Attacks directed against the controller will shorten the duration of the spell but will have no effect on the the target's ability to break free of their own volition. In addition, if the MCed unit is moved too far from the controlling priest the spell will automatically be disrupted. A break is checked vs mob's level / distance from controlling priest / resistances of target, every x seconds, and the spell can break without warning even if the channeling bar is still mostly full.

Mind Control's full duration is one minute, but there are several factors which can cause it to break early. Mind Control forms a general-purpose crowd control similar to sapping and sheeping however, unlike most other forms of crowd control, the priest himself is essentially removed from battle for the duration of the spell and cannot cast any of his own heals or attacks until the Mind Control is broken. The pet bar appears and allows the unit's special abilities to be used. On a successful cast of Mind Control, the priest's viewpoint will shift to the controlled player or mob and the priest's movement keys will move this unit. Mind control serves as a unique form of crowd control in that not only is the target removed from the fight temporarily but the target's powers can be directed against other enemies. Shadow Focus reduces the target's chance to resist or break free. Shadow Affinity reduces threat generated. 4 Tips, Hints and Info about Mind Control.
