Re: First week of Cataclysm: Pets already tamed!

I hit 85 about midnight on Tuesday night, 21hrs after launch. I was one of three lvl85s in my guild, and one of two lvl85 Alliance hunters. A guildmate formed a party of lvl81s and messaged me asking for my help in killing a lvl85 rare spawn in Vashj'ir. I agreed, came out, and realized it was Ghost...

Re: terrorpene tame guides bit extreem?

if you have your heart set for him I think you don't want to risk dying and have him killed or tamed by someone else while you run back and prepare for another go That's the point. Yeah, you can tame him with help from a healer or a pally's aura or whatnot, but there's a big advantage to not having...

Re: Terrorpene - solo tame tactics on lvl81

I didn't find Terrorpene until after I reached 85, but it turns out my above math worked out fairly well. I did the tame solo with ~100k hp and 192FR, used Ancient Hysteria, and ended the tame with ~90k hp. Granted, being four levels higher than the mob certainly helped my chance to resist, but the ...

Re: Anyone know Terrorpenes spawn time?

I saw the dead shell at 1am server time, went to bed, and started camping from 9am to 1pm, and again from 9pm until he finally spawned for me at 3am the next morning. A 6-8hr spawn, closer to a 10-14hr spawn, or (highly unlikely) a >20hr spawn are all possible given my timeline. The high end of his ...

Re: Yet another Terrorpene topic

Get some fire resist. +20 to cloak enchant, +25 to helm (Kirin Tor), +50 Flask of Lesser Resistance, and +52 from Drums of Forgotten Kings. 130FR will approximately cut Terrorpene's damage in half, and the above would get you 147. If you're a LW, there's also +70 to wrist as a fur lining. Good hunti...

Re: [Complete Guide] How to Tame, and What to Tame - A full

Chromaggus when he dose his final enrage he gets a 20% DPS buff Okay, this is where I draw the line. We're obviously exploiting a bug in the game for these tames, but up to this point for purely cosmetic gains. If a tamed Chromaggus kept a 20%dps buff, raiding BM hunters could and would exploit thi...

Re: Terrorpene - solo tame tactics on lvl81

This post got long and technical. The TLDR version: If you have 30k HP and use Potion of Speed and a Core Hound to Ancient Hysteria, you will need at least 130 fire resist to complete the tame. I suggest Drums of Forgotten Kings , Lesser Flask of Resistance , Arcanum of the Flame's Soul , and Encha...

Re: Terrorpene - solo tame tactics on lvl81

I doubt Scatter Shot would help. Scatter slows them on their way to melee range, but Terropene's deadly attack is a ranged one. *** I really think the best strategy for soloing this is to get 100-150 fire resist. The leatherworking enchant is a good one, and there are other options out there. With a...

Re: Bugged cast bar when tame?

In short, a ton of haste will make Tame Beast's cast bar act in funny ways. It isn't broken, your actual tame is still faster, and more haste always makes your tame faster. For the technical details, refer to my long post near the bottom of the first page 1 of this thread: http://forums.wow-petopia....

Big huge pets?

I'm looking for the biggest, largest, most enormous pets. Unfortunately, Blizzard doesn't seem to like the idea of us having brain bugs the size of houses. I've checked the large Silithids, and they all properly resize. Chromaggus is a wee tot, too. Devilsaurs seem to be larger than most pets, but n...

Re: Terrorpene - solo tame tactics on lvl81

What (most of) you are experiencing is simply how Haste works now with channeled spells. Generally, as you add Haste, the cast time of the spell decreases until it can add another tick. So for example, if a Priest is AoEing with Mind Sear, it does a tick of damage every 1sec and the spell channels f...
