Gnomes have finally figured out how to reach higher than ankles... we are all DOOMED.

Commento di 157499

In b4 we find out this item only makes you jump.

Commento di 671830

Judged by it's "Use" ability, It will seem knock you up to the sky.

Since the value of knock back on the effect divided by 3 is equal to yards, it should will knock you up by 41.6666 to 58.3333 yards.

since 41-58 yards is not fatal, I wonder will this gnomish device provide safe fall?

But then I am just assuming, based on the effect and the values

have they finally answered my prayers and give me a jetpack?

Commento di 442279

Probably like this X-52 Rocket Helmet

Not worth a trinket slot and having to wait 30sec for it to be useable. This should have been an item (usable from inventory). Blizzard really needs to stop putting non-combat items into trinket slots.

Trinkets were ORIGINALLY designed to be non-combat items, until one actually gave stats and forced them to give future trinkets power. They're now used mostly as stat sticks with procs. Some of these procs are intended to be FUN; they're not all designed to be combat-oriented, because damn it, that's not what Engineering's about.

since 41-58 yards is not fatal, I wonder will this gnomish device provide safe fall?

Here's what I picture it does based on the wording -- most of the time, it procs a parachute. You fall safely. Sometimes, it doesn't. You don't die (which would result in much QQ), but you take a pretty big HP hit. Thus, the ever-evolving Engineer etho of "If it can be made, it can kill you" is brought full circle.

Where does one learn how to make this?

Commento di TDE156

Now in the game and learned from your favorite Gnomish Engy trainer. Unfortunately you can't use it.

Commento di 759454

ya same dang they got my hopes up I WANNA FLY...Anyways this seems like a fun thing to have for bgs and

Commento di 793900

i just want them to give us a wormhole for the capital cities, they can have the broken anti gravity trinket back

Commento di Uuneya

Mostly I just want to know what it does. That's bugging me more than not being able to use it!

Commento di Nekodemus

At time of writing, the Gnomish Gravity Well "Requires Gnomish Engineering", unlike items such as Gnomish X-Ray Specs and Ultrasafe Transporter: Gadgetzan which require Gnomish Engineer instead.

The end result is that even as a Gnomish engineer with an engineering skill of 525, you cannot equip the trinket because: "You aren't skilled enough to use that item." -_-

Commento di 793900

anyone heard any news on this item being fixed any time soon?

Commento di 364096

It should make you walk on the ceiling !

♪♫Spidergnome, Spidergnome...♫♪

Commento di Disputor

Get it.... it's a useless piece of junk that weighs you down ;) and you only keep it in your bags temporarily so it's only weights you down temporarily. hence temporary gravity well.

Commento di blueyedevil

seems like one other great way to get to jadefang

Commento di Therook

My Gnome Mage Stingeywhim would like to report this trinket can be used as a doorstop, a bag slot filler, a paperweight, a paper cutter, an Elementium/Ether airplane (flys like a lead balloon), a trolling discussion,... Silly me I'm Illustrious Grand Master Gnomish Engineer and I thought I might actually use this after making it. What was I thinking? /Facepalm. Well we will not be able to bite above ankles for awhile longer.

P.S. It still doesn't work and when I put in a ticket they said developers are aware of it, and yet it still isn't fixed.

Commento di dkfenger

This does work on the 4.1 PTR as of build 13793. (Condition changed to Gnomish Engineer.)

It knocks you up into the air by 1-2 Night Elf heights. Has no CD, so you can hit it as fast as the GCD, bouncing higher and higher if you spam it. About 10% of the time it gives you the debuff 'Overheated', which disables the device for 15s.

It kills all forward velocity, so you can't run and Well-jump up onto things. But it does work while falling, so it could save you if your parachute cloak runs out of time.

Is not usable in Tol Barad or dungeons (tested in Violet Hold, Oculus, and Zul'Farrak - so being able to mount doesn't enable it). I'd guess it's unusable in BGs and Arena, too (not that you'd want to lose the trinket slot). It does work in buildings, however, so if you ever wanted to see the roof of the Stormwind Cathedral up close...

Visual looks like the Ultrasafe Transporter cast effect, except it's red.

Edited to add: Tested in Exodar and Azuremyst Isle - can't use it there, so I would imagine that any no-fly zone will disable it.

Commento di 560276

Also just to add onto what Dkfenger said, it's also unusable in combat. =/

~~Also though it does not allow you to move on the horizontal axis a hunter might be able to with disengage.~~

Using slow fall in conjunction with this will allow you to reach higher altitudes without getting the "over-heated" debuff

where does it say it cant be used in combat

I said it wasn't usable in combat, I went to the PTR and tested it myself.

Commento di 717027

still broke as of 2 April just an head up for all you out there.

Commento di Sapolsky

About to use your portal to Northrend? Don't have a parachute or slow fall? See if you have good enough timing, this baby will either eliminate fall damage, or you cast it too early and hold off death for two more seconds.

Commento di Waky

It works as of 4.1.0!

It has a 0 second CD after the intial 30 seconds after you equip it, but it's affected by the global CD. It launches you up slightly higher than a regular jump.

That's now the exciting part though! Since its CD is shorter than its affect you can use it every time off CD and you will start to rise up into the sky. I must say, 1000g well spent(?)

Commento di 816831

Good news, fellow Gnomish Engineers! This works in water, giving us the capability to get to the surface faster and as well avoiding drowning! This is also helpful when you are falling down and your parachute is on cooldown or you simply dont have one. Just use it a few seconds before you hit the ground. So far it appears this item is unusable in dungeons and raids.

Commento di Balthana

If you want a better comparison between expansions, you have:

three of which were Engineering items, all of which are trinkets, and all of which had uses beyond fun. Conversely, there's World Enlarger which wasn't a trinket and had no real practical use.

Now, we have this, which is a (as mentioned) pretty useless, just-for-fun trinket, while:

which are somewhat more handy, don't need to be equipped.
Because it can't be used in many locations, and can't be used in combat according to other posts, one has to wonder what purpose this was meant to serve - A different option for Flexweave Underlay? Cloak enchant or a trinket slot?

Commento di Dudash

It is fun to just play with when hanging out with your WoW friends.
If you're bored or waiting for a dungeon queue, just start spamming this in the middle of org/sw and watch everyone flock to you.
Its also quite fun as a goblin because if you hit this a few times in a row and then hit your rocket boots, it'll launch you two to three times as far as normal.

Like the guy two posts above me said,it will give you the debuff Overheated which lasts 15sec.
But unlike what he said, it doesnt just randomly give it to you.
It gives it to you if you hit it too often in a certain amount of time.
After messing with it a while, you'll find there is a pace that will let you consecutively hit it and you'll never get the debuff.
Unfortunately, the pace is too slow to keep going higher and higher but will still allow you to keep bouncing nonstop.

The thing that obviously sucks, like everyone else has been saying, is the fact that its a trinket.
It should be a Use item that just sits in your inventory.
There is no need for blizz to require items like this to be equipped to use.
This cannot help in any combat situation unlike High-Powered Bolt Gun which is a Use item.
If anything, High-Powered Bolt Gun should be a trinket since its only use is in combat.

Commento di WoWsnob

You Jump in the air and you can't move in any direction... Good news iss you can fly indefinetly until it over heats! Wich has also a 75% chance I think.

Commento di Nakae

Sooo... can you use this in the cave in Crumbling Depths to get to Jadefang, get high enough, then shoot something and disengage? trying to find a universal way for a hunter to do this...

Commento di Furydeath

No longer a trinket in 4.2

Still doesn't work in dungeons tho so it;s still kinda not work it really fromw hat i've seen.

Commento di Lightholder

After running a few tests, I've found out the following, and I'm sure most of this has been posted before:

- Does not work anywhere where flying is disabled.
- Stops all forward momentum when used.
- Can be used while in mid-air.
- Resets falling speed, can be used to stop fall damage if used well.
- Cannot be used in combat.
- Sometimes gives an Overheated debuff, a 15 second debuff disallowing the use of the Gravity Well for the duration.

In addition, I ran some tests, and tested 30 times for each, and it seems as though there is a much higher chance of receiving the Overheated debuff when you use the Gravity Well in mid-air, either starting while falling, or starting off of another Gravity Well proc.

Using from the ground:
4 Overheats
26 Non-overheats

Using from the air:
10 Overheats
20 Non-overheats

It's not a very accurate test, I'm sure, since it was only tested 30 times for each, a fairly small sample size, but based on these statistics, on the ground, there is a 13.33% (repeating, of course) chance of failure from the ground, and a 33.33% (also repeating, of course) chance of failure from the air. I'm sure the 13.33% is closer to 10%, if my prediction is correct.

Commento di zaknafeiin

As of 4.2 this is no longer a trinket, just a use item

Commento di Whammies

Gnomish Gravity Wells brand new icon has arrived. And to all of you who are wondering about it's function; it simply shoots you up in the air. Good for avoiding fall damage if you don't already have the Flexweave Underlay.

Commento di vazhkatsi

Another great use for this is halting. if you rocket jump and use a parachute, you can use this to halt your forward momentum, which is great for stunts or getting to hard to reach areas

Commento di twbrien

The gravity well is no longer a trinket and can be used directly from your bags. it's basically a second parachute cloak. When dropping from great heights you hit it right before impact and it'll pop you into the air and allow you to land safe and sound...assuming you don't lag out and go splat like I did.

Commento di 716252

Yeah, good luck with that as per the "Cannot be used in combat" tagline.

Commento di 850775

Note to self and others:

Do not use this after killing Al'Akir. Unless you like falling. For a long time.

Commento di 861119

This item also attracts many idiots.....Here is a personal example.

me:Enjoying my gnomish gravity well.
player2:You see its not smart doing this in front of other people!
me:Huh?
player2:Its superjumping!Reported for hacking!
me:Its gnomish gravity well you idiot.
And then he logs out....And he was a level 85 imba geared mage..I mean seriously...He never heard of it before?-_-

Commento di Oukar

Usable multiple times in rapid succession until it overheats. However, it CANNOT be used...

In Combat
In non-flying zones.
In Battlegrounds
In Instances
In Arenas
~~To reach the cookie jar on the top shelf~~ (With proper adjustments, this was found to be possible)
To outsmart Hogger
To break holes in a roof for a quick escape

But the good news is, I just saved 15% on dismemberment insurance by switching to Gnomish Engineering.

Commento di 725641

I was hoping to have even a little bit of horizontal movement while using this, but instead we get an item that will end up as a paper weight in my bank with a bunch of other engineering items and my orb of deception(which is still more useful than this)

Commento di 725641

"Engineering" should be renamed to "Toy-maker", the name now doesn't fit what we make

Commento di 125795

Always fun to use different places around town, try it out, and see where it bugs out and gets you stuck inside a streetlight, or a badly constructed roof.

Commento di ssdisfaster

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwXxJiEvW_Q made a video of how it works.

Commento di cmschneid3

Contrary to popular belief, this item has very well proved to fly my character to fatal heights. I am a Shaman and the Gravity Well flew my character to an astounding 89 yards above the ground. Only to abruptly fall to my death. BUT NONETHELESS! This device can be fatal.

Commento di hypehuman

This item is actually pretty cool! It doesn't have a cooldown, but if you use many times in a row it will be come "overheated". It can be used to break your fall, and if used in succession it will take you higher and higher. However, it disables all lateral movement so you can't use it to jump onto a ledge or something. Be careful about going too high because it will overheat and stop working!

This item can be used to overcome Line of Sight issues; for example if you need to pull a mob but some stairs are in the way, you can "jump" up until you see it and then pull. But keep in mind that it cannot be used in instances or battlegrounds, greatly limiting the usefulness of this maneuver.

Commento di bratmonkey

for a mage this is about as useful as a bikini wax in the north pole. its more of a convenience for other classes with no slowfall mechanics or invulnerabilities. like a priest can levitate and a paly can bubble. but, for example, a DK cannot do either of those. so if he teleports to gadgetzan and gets the malfunction where he is falling to his death, he can use this as a permanent alternative to wasting mats to enchant their cloak with parachutes every time they get a new one.

Commento di 725641

Found an actual use: When you use Wormhole Generator: Northrend, and get the underground option, instead of hearthing out like usual, you CAN gravity well out if you can get enough clicks in before triggering cooldown. You rocket out of the grate at the top safely into Dalaran.

Commento di 924424

I wish you could move forward when you use this, like when you jump normally. I was hoping when i make this, it would launch me high into the air like when the nitro boosts are faulty ( There would be uses for that, especially for mages that have great uses. I was hoping to use it for pvp and annoy a lot of people.) Quite disappointing, wish it had more uses then a last second safefall...

Commento di QuickBASIC

Are you tired of dying a painful falling death because you used Rocket Jump at the wrong moment? Well, Gnomish engineers rejoice! You can save yourself from that "Oh $%^&!" Rocket Jump off the cliff with Gnomish Gravity Well™. When your Cloak, Levitate, and Slow Fall are on cooldown, use Gnomish Gravity Well™.

#showtooltip Rocket Jump
/castsequence reset=15 Rocket Jump(Racial), item:40727

Commento di 936624

It can be used WITHOUT removing the parachute from the Flexweave Underlay. So you can chain jump while falling slowly.

Commento di cyocko87

Since no one has mentioned it. This object does the opposite of what a gravity well should do, no matter anti-gravity well doesn't have the same ring. This is referenced not only in science but also in fiction. Star Trek: Voyager in Episode 13 of Season 5 encountered one of these phenomenons while exploring a planet. The gravity well should increase the escape velocity of the item, ship, or person from an object of greater mass.

Essentially this item should compress the user. I suppose it only makes sense that Gnomes were behind this if they've made this many mistakes with their items.
