PTR 6.2 Mystery Tame Contest - SOLVED

[Lupen202]

That's what transmog is for! xD

[Nachtwulf]

I need one of these! But I'll just whine at my friends until they come help me kill her, haha. My slow fps would probably murder me on this fight.

[Wain]

New prize for first person to take a shot of their tamed fel wolf while riding their fel wolf mount.

Just kidding

I know a couple have given notes about the fight, but I wanted to share some of mine and reiterate points I think are important.

1- As has been pointed out, clearing the immediate area is a good idea. You would end up fighting them if you don't.

2- She has just shy of 5 million HP. Even at ilvl 700 with the new 4 piece, it's a long fight. It will test your endurance if you solo it.

3- Because of the long nature of this fight, the mobs you kill before the fight will likely respawn. Be ready.

4- As of this patch, she isn't open tag, and the Vial isn't group loot. She respawns in ~5 minutes.

5- She casts a blossom at you every ~10 seconds (approximate). It puts a high damage void zone under you that stays for a bit. If you stay mobile, you can completely avoid all damage from this ability, but in reality you will take some ticks. Its important to minimize damage from it though.

6- Every ~50 seconds, she would cast her stealth. Flare knocks her right out. She can use all of her abilities while stealthed, including her heal if the CDs line up.

7- She started casting her INTERRUPTIBLE heal around 50% HP, and heals for a huge amount (I believe its 100% but I haven't seen her cast it at low health.) I think her heal has around a 45 second cooldown. Interrupting is absolute highest priority.

8- She buffs herself with a stupid high damage buff that lasts 2 minutes. This will be on her the majority of the fight if you don't dispel with Tranq shot.

9- She will Soothe your pet, basically putting it to sleep. This causes your pet to lose all aggro on her and any other mobs while its asleep. Aggro seemed to return when the pet woke up. You can use Master's Call or Bestial Wrath to break it as well.

10- This soothe pet has a base duration of 1 minute, but I had conflicting experiences. Sometimes it would fall off in 10 seconds, some around 30, some the full duration. Not sure why.

11- Your pet will likely die a couple times due to her high damage if you don't Tranq the buff. Even BM Adaptability Tenacity pet with Spirit Bond, Mend pet rolling and appropriate healing glyphs, died. Be prepared to put some distance between you and her and revive if that happens.

12- While this fight is perfectly doable as BM (and you gain Bestial Wrath), BM may not be the best spec for this since so much of your damage is in your sleeping pet if you are unable to wake it up early. Feel free to try other specs! Fel wolf is a wolf anyway.

13- While her abilities are on definite CDs, her white attack patterns are odd. Sometimes she would just stay still and ranged auto attack, other times she would run after me and melee (which melee seemed to hit much higher, especially with the damage buff). I couldn't discern a reason why she would switch between her ranged attacking and chasing and melee.

14- She is snareable, so Ice traps and Concussive shot is a must. I kept them up as much as I could, due to pet losing aggro as soon as she put it to sleep. Binding shot and Intimidation also have value.

15- While the blossom damage is mostly avoidable, you will take damage from her. I used spirit bond and that kept me up pretty good, but I was also ilvl 700.

16- I have a feeling that this fight isn't soloable until a certain ilvl. Tanaan gives 650-655 so I wonder if that is the expected ilvl point. It is a challenging fight, so if you have a low ilvl, you may need help. No shame in that!

17- If you die, there is a graveyard really close.

18- As for using the Vial, it puts a 1 minute buff on the Fel wolf that lets you tame, and the vial is consumed.

Recap of main points:
*Use tranq shot on her buff
*Interrupt her heal ASAP
*Use Master's Call or Bestial Wrath when pet is put to sleep
*Keep her snared/stunned as needed
*Flare her stealth ASAP
*keep mobile to minimize damage

Based Quivering explaining it way better than I ever could. Thanks.

[Quiv]

You did plenty bro!

[Nachtwulf]

I still say that the easiest solution to this is 'bring friends'. Much like the porcupines. Well... 'bring friends after the shiny has worn off and she isn't camped 100% of the time by a thousand people' anyway....

[Lupen202]

I'm going to make a bee-line for her when the patch is released. Hopefully I can snag a vial while everyone else is setting up their outposts and such.

Very tempted to do this too. If PTR copy wasn't down, I'd test with a new hunter whether you can go to that beach without starting the Tanaan questline.

I know you can at the moment, I even tested with Aviana's Feather and can get from Lunarfall to her spawn point easily. Just not sure if that'll change in 6.2.

Actually, now I say that, I think I've got alts on a different PTR server...


Edit - Yep, can fly straight from garrison to the Fel Rangari Anaara

[Lupen202]

Not for Horde! But I can fly over to a FP in SMV and use the feather.

[Nimrod]

Are you on EU servers by any chance?

[Lupen202]

No US.

[Nimrod]

Shame, was going to suggest we head there on 6.2 launch and get it done quickly :p

[Wain]

The wolf is up on Petopia now, under the 6.2 table here:

Hopefully the description I added it enough to let people work out how to tame it. We can't really go into much detail on the combat strategy there, but that's what Wowhead is for

[Pepsi Jedi]

I'm happy. I won't lie, I'll probably use the 'bring friends' tactic as well.

This was the one model that I was very sad to find I couldn't tame when WoD came out. Then as the testing for the patch went on, I saw more were added and still untameable, I was sad. Even told my wife, that if they'd open up one of these it'd make my day.

Well my day is made now. I've something to look forward to in the patch now.

[Kalhoun]

I'm totally making people come help me! XD

[Quiv]

I imagine there will be people here who will help to!

[Rhyela]

Yay! Rhyela can finally get her green wolf!

[Lupen202]

I don't know the exact time the patch will be released, so I'm not sure if I'll even be on in time... but if anyone is Horde on US servers, feel free to add my btag. We can help each other grab one quickly. I'd also be happy to help anyone else that comes on even after I tame mine.

My btag is Lupen#1275

[Castile]

really quite happy for this - this wolf and the new iron horde ones will defiantly become a part of my stables
