Ah, the lowly Parachute Cloak. Very few Engineers hold on to these, but now there IS a reason to hang on (or craft a new one) to your Parachute Cloak.

Air to Air combat!

In conjunction with the Discombobulator Ray (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=4388#m0z) you can send your enemies plummeting to their doom. Simply fly a few feet above your target, dismount, shoot them with your Discombobulator Ray and pop your Parachute Cloak before you hit the ground.

The real use for this is as a 19/29 twink. The item requires 225 engineering and then can be equipped. Do to its high iLevel the new high level TBC enchants can be placed on it.

Actually, there still is some use for these. Lately I've found myself ganking Alliance outside Tempest Keep and around area 52, but some of them manage to fly high up in air and survive on 5% health. That's where Nature's Swiftness + Elemental Mastery comes in. It's basicly an instant 2.5k damage, with 36 yd range. I either use the cloak before I hit the ground or go up chasing them naked so I won't loose durability.

Me and some other Shamans made it a sport, to get the best my durability / their durability repair cost ratio.
Last night we got a Nelf to spirit rez 3 times. Lame? Maybe, fun though!

Unfortunately next patch bodies will fall down to the ground. I guess that's where the cloak really looses it's use.

Does this have a cooldown?

Комментарий от 36140

I'm revising this "review" of the cloak. I've always been rather partial to this, and now that the cooldown of the cloak is reasonable, it might have even more practical uses.

Several people think that flying mounts make this useless. IMO, this isn't the case at all. Not only is it convienent (sure, you can generally just use a gryphon to fly down when there's a really far drop, but with my welfare blue gryphon it's usually a lot quicker just to use this before I land). The cloak itself is great when you need to make an escape. And, with a flying mount, it's even better to use to get the drop on unsuspecting PvP targets.

It's not great for escapes if you have another cloak equipped. You can only equip it when out of combat and it takes a while after you equip it before you can actually use the parachute buff. This can be great for escapes if you always have it equipped. Now, obviously I don't think it should serve as a replacement, I always keep another cloak on me for instances or raiding, but I personally think it's having it equipped often. Obviously, your stats will go down considerably, but as a rogue the agility isn't completely useless and although I sacrifice quite a bit of damage, in world PvP, some battlegrounds, and grinding this can really come in handy. From a rogue's perspective, when I'm PvE grinding my goal isn't to dish out as much damage as possible, but rather to rack up combo points and pop an Eviscerate/Envenom to finish them off. I'm usually pretty clumsy when farming and I tend to keep going regardless of how low my health is, and as a result often I'll need to escape. When this happens, I can always just jump off one of the many cliffs in Outland, pop this, and save my hide. While, yes, if I had kept my "normal" cloak, I would've burned down the mobs more quickly, I think in the long run the potential corpse runs would've taken longer.

In world PvP, especially Halaa, I think this is golden. I have no points in subtlety, so even when I stealth, I usually end up getting caught and my chance at an opener is gone. Using this I can fly very far up, and drop down to get the drop on an enemy. If I time my use on the cloak well enough, I can usually get close enough to my enemy to Cheap Shot before they even know where I am. For non rogues, if you're an engineer, maybe you can use a Cloaking Device, or a World Enarlger/Noggenfogger Elixir to get you small enough so that they aren't able to see you well?

Now, this is my playstyle. I'm sure for some people, escaping from combat is rarely a problem they run into and the stats from their regular cloak would be much more useful. But in my case, I think it's invaluable.

In any case, it's fun as hell. Surprising PvP targets with it is great, and occaisonally if you meet someone stupid, they might try to follow you off a cliff when they see you survive.

I think Olaf's All Purpose Shield from Uldaman is better than this cloak because it's a shield and can be equipped during combat but has the same effect.

Комментарий от Tarasque

Well everyone can't use shield >_<

Комментарий от 70583

the best use of this is for twinks. becouse this is a +35 item you can get all the sweet enchants on it. :P l2Twink guys :)

Upgraded versions of this can be obtained once you're revered with the Skyguard. And this time, you can get one with caster stats.

In the current 2.2 PTR Patch (08/11/07), Blizzard reduced the cooldown from 30 mins to 30 seconds.
edit (26/09/2007): this change is now Live!

Engineers's cloak is now better than Skyguard's cloak.

Комментарий от darthmike500

I just used this and the cooldown is still 30 minutes.

Комментарий от siemal

From today (26-09-2007) 30s cooldown is on all WoW servers.

Комментарий от illwill

This cloak works well in conjunction with Rocket Boots Xtreme. You retain the same 300% speed boost as long as you are in the air.

Anyone know if I can still use this if I later drop engineering?

Комментарий от 82363

This item is spectacular for people who can't time their tears right on Archimonde fight, it'll put a little dent in personal dps but atleast they won't wipe the raid.

Комментарий от 102996

This is an amazing item for fun and utility, always keep it in my bags.

Комментарий от Aelok

I didn't level my engineering fast enough for this cape to be useful to me statwise. Although it is great if you can get enough materials early enough.

This is also handy in Arathi Basin at the LM (long fall) for a quick retreat or rush to a nearby node for quick defence.

If you hate Thunderbluff as much as me, this is also handy there instead of having to find an elevator.

Комментарий от 103436

Awesome cloak. I just made it and equiped it at level 20. This can be very useful on many long jumps of cliffs like the ones in AB and also retain full health after rezing in WSG and jumping off that ledge to get back to midfeild. I am working on the mats for 12 Agi ench for this cloak since the cloak is a level 45 item. For those thinking about leveling Eng to get this item for the 20-29 BG bracket I would highly recomend it. It cost me on the thrall server just around 150 gold to level from 0 to 225 Eng (after selling back some stuff I crafted). Wich is not bad being that you can spend 100g on other cloaks such as Tigersrtike https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=13108 wich can not have the +12 Agi ench added and is also ugly as sin..

Комментарий от drame

i hit lv 70 now and still keeps it for alot of reasons
1:danm funny
2:even more funny when u got flying mount and tricks ppl to belive ur killing urself
3:usefull as hell when ur flying over places where u no u can be shot down any sec
4:also usedfull in blade egde if ur dumb enough to "accidently" dismount at a rigde

ppl this cloak is 10000 times worth the mats (also a few twink owners lv 29+ pays heavy for this thing sometimes i got 200g outa one once)

Комментарий от bodya

This cloak is priceless in world PvP for assaulting opposing faction on flying mounts.

If you are warlock you can approach airborne target and place 2-3 insta dots every 30 seconds...

Комментарий от 150999

yes yes.... you writh and writh about it and how good it is in PvP... but wher do you learn to make it????

Комментарий от 156171

What i find great about this cloak is What Grimosh said but with presence of mind Polymorph because they still haven't patched it. meaning poly dismounts :D

Комментарий от honourblade

Just a note for the level 29 twinks, to get this cape 225 engineering is required and the problem is: how can I level my my engineering the cheapest way? Well, the answer is: visit http://www.wow-professions.com/engineering_leveling_guide.html and you will get a handy leveling guide! But I must say: if you wanna reach the 225 without any mining, it will cost you around 150-200g... Cheers!

Does this cloak knock you out of stealth as a rogue?

Комментарий от 159313

I don't really see why it would, Mitranim.

Комментарий от Thottbot

cooldown is 30 sec after you equip and 30 min after use

Комментарий от Thottbot

There is a huuuuge pillar in Feralas, which you can be teleported to. You can't fall down from that place without dying unless you have this cloak or one of the parachutes they sell on the top of the pillar.

Always keep a few of those in your backpack :P

Комментарий от Thottbot

I go to Un'Goro all the time for mining and farming. I hate having to go to the opposite end of Tanaris from Gadgetzan to take the safe route down. On occasion, I try to jump form cliff to cliff down to the floor from the noxious lair, but more often then not, I die from falling. This thing should be awesome to help me jump from Tanaris to Un'goro with very little injury! THANK YOU, GNOMES! I LOVE HAVING YOU GUYS ON OUR SIDE!

Комментарий от Thottbot

I saw this used in AB.

It was an air-assault on the Blacksmith from
the Lumbermill.

Ever since then I have wanted to get this.

A group of about 5 reinforced their group attacking
the Blacksmith by jumping from the Lumbermill,
popping the Parachute Cloaks and drifting down to
the Blacksmith. I was at the farm, and just
watched them 'fly' down right into the melee at
the flag there.

Runners, even on Epics, took about another 20 sec
to get there from the LM.

Coolest thing I have ever seen done so far in-game.

Комментарий от Thottbot

This is usefull if you are a Gnomish Engineer and are using the Teleporter device to Gadgetzan. It will get you OVER Gadgetzan and gravity will take you the rest of the way down. This can save your life if you can't cast slow fall.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Ok Blizzard needs to make an upgrade to this one
make it a Purple, +8 to all Stats & Permanent Slow Fall... (call it Glider Cloak)
(Please post your thoughts)

Комментарий от Thottbot

Best lvl 29 twink cloak atm.. u can take a +12 agi enchant on it, since its a lvl 43 item:)

Комментарий от Thottbot

I love how many people are commenting on the 8 Agility on this item. Like that was really the point of it. LOL.

As soon as you engineers can make this for us non-engineers, this item will be amazing.

Комментарий от Thottbot

This is the best 29 twink cloak for Hunters rogues and feral druids. Its also good for many other classes(paladin war sham etc)You can put 12 agil on this cloak! and the parachute effect is actualy useful

Комментарий от Thottbot

so basically, you could pop slow fall, stealth, and jump to attack the mine right?

Комментарий от Thottbot

30 seconds CD instead of 30 min soon Yah:)

Комментарий от Thottbot

The cooldown of this item is being reduced from 30 minutes to 30 seconds.

Комментарий от Thottbot

30 seconds! I can't believe it! This makes the daily bombing runs a real breeze!

Комментарий от Thottbot

If you're using ultrasafe teleport, you really need this equipped. If you end up porting into the sky, you will probably die without some kind of slow fall. The first time I used Ultrasafe Teleporter I ended up way up in the air, so I immediately parachute cloak and float down easily to the ground.

Couple other tips:

- Good item for locks and hunters, as your pet will follow you down steep cliffs where they might normally despawn when you jump too far.

- If you're on autorun as you jump, you will keep on going forward in the same direction -- no matter if you turn or not -- so try to aim for a safe landing spot BEFORE you jump.

Комментарий от Thottbot

suprisingly useful, im a level 65 and i find my self using this a lot. Its good to have in your invetory if your high up somewhere and it wil take a long timne to get down by walking.

Комментарий от Thottbot

do you really have to have an engineering lvl of 225 to use this? cause a few comments up it says he put it on his lvl 20, thanks in return.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Recently I was in a game of Arathi Basin, and I found my self in a desperate situation. The horde were about to win, and there was a lone ret pally running down to the Blacksmith to take it. Myself being a shadow priest, I could do nothing except watch helpessly as he moved closer and closer to the blacksmith. I had forgotten that I had my Rocketboots Xtreme equipped, as well as my Parachute Cloak in case I needed to jump off LM. I had an idea: I Clicked my rocket boots Xtreme (300% speed for 5 seconds) and jumped off LM towards the Blacksmith. As soon as I jumped, I hit parachute cloak. I zoomed forward, and landed ON TOP of the blacksmith. I casted the pally down from up there, and equipped healing gear and healed my friends once they arrived. It was a great game, and it saved us.

Комментарий от Thottbot

were do u learn this from

Комментарий от Thottbot

The levitate ability for the priest is not learned on one of the trees, all types of priests can learn it. as to the shadow priest, i'm not sure seeing as i'm a holy priest myself, might not be able to cast levitate in shadow form. but other than that, priests have no need for this cloak.

I made one of these because I thought it would be fun to bail out of my flying machine, stealth and land in hostile territory unseen, very Delta Force-like. It basically works, but it's more challenging to use than I expected.

First of all, using the cloak breaks stealth, so you have to cloak first and stealth after. But the real problem is that the slow fall only lasts ten seconds, and you fall very slowly during that time, so you don't cover much distance. Therefore if you trigger it too high, it'll run out and you'll resume falling and take damage and break stealth, or even die. Of course you can also trigger it too late, with obvious results.

The timing gets more difficult the higher you bail out, since you fall faster. There's nothing more humiliating than attempting a stealth airborne attack, but screwing up and hitting the ground like a wet sack of cement. "I swear I was minding my own business, mining this adamantite node in Nagrand when this rogue falls out of the clear blue sky and splatters on the ground right in front of me!" But that's engineering for you.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I used this when I got ambushed by a druid on Thandol Span. I must say that was definately an event to remember.

A link to a little WoW movie, of what you can do with a 'slow fall' spell (although this mage used a spell, you get the idea).

Комментарий от Allakhazam

If you watch Revenge of The Windfury movies there are some cool places you can get 2 with this,like on top of a zeplin,Top of bootybay,and the top of the entrance to Orgrimmar. I would post a link but I am to stupid to figure out how >.<

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Great for lava jumping in Blackrock Mountain. If you aim it right you can even hit dry land and suffer zero damage.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

this is more of fun travel device but usefull to get away from players in some areas or mobs. you can jump off cliff where player cant just follow you if its high enough, or if you are fighting mobs that toss you into the air.

parajumping in WoW. jump off area like great lift at bottem of barrens or coming to wetlands from loch modon, any very high area. fun fun. other people can take the long way or jump and loss half health.... we do it the fun way, jump right off and glade down! the 10secs is long enough to get you to ground with 0dmg if you dont hit it early. make it more fun, hit jet boots first, jump off ledge with super speed. reminds me of my first visit to tarnais. i didnt take the lift, i hit jet boots, zoomed past guards in few seconds flat, then hit parachute after i jumped off. lifts are for the technology deprived:).

reuseable every 30mins, no regeant like slow fall or leviate.

I used this plus rocket boots xtreme while holding terroks quill. I kept the speed from boots (as most of you probably know) but with the xtreme boots you do this little spin thing at the end. since I was in the air when boots finished, I kept spinning till I hit the ground. with the quill out to the side, it's sorta a helicopter effect. wish I had a video.

Anyone tried dismounting on ur flyer and useing it before you hit the ground?

this could be the begining of shammy bombs :)

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I have a question regarding this item as well as others engineers create.

I made one of these as well as a pair of Goblin Jumper Cables and other things and I've tried giving these items to others to use. They continuously give them back to me telling me that they need to be engineers to use them, as the items will usually say engineering required and then a level.

My thinking is that you need to be an engineer of a certain level to create them, but not to use them. Am I right or wrong?

It seems that others are using this and other engineering items, but they haven't stated as to whetherr they're engineers or not. Could someone shed some light on this for me?

Thanks!

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I used to use boots and cloak to get into some very funny places. I still use cloak to get into ungoro from tanaris easier.
I just wait till im close to the ground to hit it because if you do when you first jump off itll wear off and your a dead man.
Ive learned a few times where i miss timed my jump or i hit to late on the cloak or left click and drag off the cloak instead of activating -_- ... splat!

Комментарий от Allakhazam

If you use this while stealthed, does it take you out of it? This is pretty much the deciding factor of whether I get the Whisperwalk Boots or the Duskbat Cape with +stealth enchanted on it from the quest The Azure Key
