Is Guarm tameable in BfA?
He's technically a beast and with Chimaeron and Thok both becoming tameable I can't help but ask. Would love my very own Helhound.

Re: Is Guarm tameable in BfA?
As of right now, no, and if he is ever made tamable it may not be till the xpac after BfA. Typically, whenever Blizz has made boss in a raid tamable, it is a couple of xpacs after so that Hunters can easily solo the place.
Re: Is Guarm tameable in BfA?
We were told in WoD that the rule of thumb for Blizzard is raid bosses are tameable two expansions after the raid. (When asked about Tortos in WoD beta)
So we likely won't see a tameable Guarm until the expansion after BFA.

Yeah, it's still worth checking, as there were precedents back in Pandaria and they could always change their mind Just best not to get your hopes up. Also worth keeping an eye on the other NPCs that use that model. I can't find the info off-hand but I had a feeling that one was classed as a beast (and the other as undead).

Re: Is Guarm tameable in BfA?
I've been keeping an eye on Guarm (amongst other beasts in raids) and none have become tamable. As of right now, the only npcs that use the model are Guarm and Fenri (whom is undead).

Re: Is Guarm tameable in BfA?
I doubt Tortos would be tameable. Like Skum in Wailing Caverns (which I don't understand myself), it's a boss with a mechanic related to the dungeon/raid itself. Tortos' corpse creates a wall for you to go through, though it's just a lazy invisible wall that is blocked off until the boss dies. It'd be cool to get Tortos' model earlier than 110, but I doubt they'd do it considering the ridiculous invisible wall.
I honestly don't know why Skum in WC isn't tameable though. That makes no sense at all.

Weird, I could have sworn there was a third NPC (aside from the two versions of Guarm), but I guess I'm going crazyValnaaros wrote:I've been keeping an eye on Guarm (amongst other beasts in raids) and none have become tamable.

There are two beast versions of Guarm on Wowhead, and I mean the Guarm in Hellheim, where you have to quest, is a beastWain wrote:Weird, I could have sworn there was a third NPC (aside from the two versions of Guarm), but I guess I'm going crazyValnaaros wrote:I've been keeping an eye on Guarm (amongst other beasts in raids) and none have become tamable.

Re: Is Guarm tameable in BfA?
Yes, there is the Helheim Guarm and then the raid Guarm. However, if I remember correctly, Helheim Guarm will kill you if you don't have the disguise on.

So was there anything from WoD we should look for?.. it's been a while..Myzou wrote:We were told in WoD that the rule of thumb for Blizzard is raid bosses are tameable two expansions after the raid. (When asked about Tortos in WoD beta)

Re: Is Guarm tameable in BfA?
The only thing that immediately comes to mind is Faultline, but it is still untamable.
Re: Is Guarm tameable in BfA?
No. They said during Legion beta that Tortos is literally built into the wall, so taming him would not work.Teigan wrote:Is Tortos going to be tameable?Myzou wrote:We were told in WoD that the rule of thumb for Blizzard is raid bosses are tameable two expansions after the raid.

Which is why they gave us the turtles in Suramar with Tortos's model.
As Val said, pretty sure the only raid beast in WoD is Faultline, but it's still not tameable on beta.SlickrockGhost wrote:So was there anything from WoD we should look for?.. it's been a while..Myzou wrote:We were told in WoD that the rule of thumb for Blizzard is raid bosses are tameable two expansions after the raid.

And to be honest, we might not tame the actual faultline, as he's already another hunter's pet. If anything, we'd likely get something like the Suramar Turtles for Faultline.
