Deterrance is 5 seconds, you'll have landed by then.Jessibelle wrote: Pretty sure that won't help you since deterrence only works for a few seconds and you'll likely be in the air still when it wears off. Scatter Shot is too risky for someone else to ninja it.
Best way is probably to get a parachute cloak of some kind if you're not an engineer already (Shatari Skyguard cloak works too) and macro something to cancelaura the parachute buff.
1) Prep with Ancient Hysteria/Freezing Trap where you intend to land (there's tons of corehounds north if they make them tameable)
2) Tag the bird with arcane shot
3) Pop Deterrance at some point to negate the moonfire hits. He only seems to cast them in close range.4) Pop parachute cloak 15 yards above ground or so, then cancel it so you land faster but negate the fall damage
5) Make sure it will hit the trap or just start taming in a panic
That all said, they're still rare spawns... will be fun to camp and tag first and all, especially naked of gear.
