Get Electrifying Cognitive Amplifier
Overview

Electrifying Cognitive Amplifier is an epic one-handed mace added to World of Warcraft in the Battle for Azeroth expansion. It is not a classic mace but a mechanical device in the goblin-engineering style of Mechagon: a metal contraption with lamps, wires, and electric discharges is mounted on the handle, glowing a cold blue. The look is deliberately technical and is easily recognized by the "instrument-panel" aesthetic of the mechanical city.
This is an intellect weapon, so its appearance is worn by priests, shamans, druids, monks, and paladins — classes that use one-handed maces as caster weapons. The base item level is low, and the item becomes soulbound when acquired.
Source
The Electrifying Cognitive Amplifier drops from The Platinum Pummeler — a mechanical boss that is finished off alongside Gnomercy 4.U. in the Operation: Mechagon dungeon.
- This two-boss fight takes place in the inner, workshop part of the megadungeon.
- Operation: Mechagon is a Battle for Azeroth megadungeon on the Isle of Mechagon, split into a surface and an underground half.
- These days the dungeon is available on Heroic difficulty through the Dungeon Finder, and its workshop part periodically enters the Mythic+ key rotation.
- There is no weekly lockout on Heroic difficulty or in regular Mythic mode, so you can rerun the boss for the appearance.
- This is an intellect caster weapon, so it is primarily of interest to classes that wield maces for spellcasting.
Visual Appeal
- It complements mechanical and engineering sets in the spirit of Mechagon, with metallic and neon details.
- It harmonizes with looks in a cold blue-steel palette thanks to the device's blue glow.
- It contrasts with classic mystical staves and wands as a deliberately technical, "gadget" choice.
- It looks great on priests and shamans roleplaying techno-mages or master mechanics.
Tips
For farming the appearance, it is easiest to run the dungeon on Heroic difficulty through the Dungeon Finder — there is no limit on attempts there.
The mace drops from a specific fight, so when resetting the dungeon it makes sense to head straight to the two-boss encounter in the inner part.
At max level the dungeon clears quickly with a small group, and some fights can even be handled by two players.
Besides this mace, Operation: Mechagon drops plenty of other mechanical gear suitable for transmog, so the runs pay off with extra appearances.
Once the mace is added to your appearance collection, the look unlocks account-wide and you no longer need to farm it.
For a cohesive look, pair the weapon with armor in the same mechanical Mechagon theme.

Started playing back in Pandaria, when the pandaren were still a novelty. Got stuck on Monk because it's the only class where you don't get dizzy after a dash. Tries to manage both tanking and kicking enemies in the face.
