Where the Wild Things Are in Patch 5.2

[Kalliope]

I made a post in the models thread saying the spectral porcupette is a mini-pet. There's always the possibility its a spirit beast too, though.

Yup, especially since there are three colors, it can't be ruled out.

Hello everyone....just wanted u to know that i found one of the spirit beasts on pandaria, here is a link to the post detailing where i did find him:

Oh lovely! Thanks for letting us know!

Special taming mechanic, eh? Let's get on that!

[Miacoda]

Looks like another Deth'tilac type tame! :O
He hits like a TRUCK and one-shots pets.

[Kalliope]

Immune to freeze traps.

If the servers will stabilize, I'll see what else does/doesn't work...

[Miacoda]

He just healed himself.....
Wat.
Conc shot, ice trap, and Glaive Toss work for sure.

[Bonita]

I really like that he's green, but its still too creepy for me lol.

[Qraljar]

Anyone else think he might spawn in three different colors?

[Kalliope]

Yup, this is basically Deth'tilac without the benefit of pet sacrifices and you have to interrupt heals. (Scatter shot and silencing shot both work.)

....evil.

Wait, no. Apparently she can cast her heal while moving too. PURE evil.

[Miacoda]

Very, very evil.

[Kalliope]

BTW, this would be a lot easier to test with on the kiting end if we could turn off growl on the PTR. Then it would be slightly more like Deth....

[Miacoda]

I can turn off growl on the EU server, using a crocolisk for help with slows.. but man this is just seeming impossible for me. I am just not coordinated enough to pay attention to interrupting and kiting. >_< I'm a horrible kiter to begin with! x_x You evil little bugger....
And he's so fast ksjjgbsdkbgsd

[Kalliope]

Ahh, just talked to another hunter on Anasterian; I think my copy may be bugged. I'll have to copy again.

[Miacoda]

Got her. X_x



Goodness gracious that was horrible. Though once you get used to it and get a pattern in it's not as bad as it was (I'm just a horrible kiter ). Definately need to have Tame Beast glyphed and deterrence up before you hit tame.
I wasn't sure what percentage she was at when the buff dropped but this was her health bar when taming:

[Qraljar]

Congrats and good job!


Also, I dunno, but is it bigger than a normal Porcupine? I don't know how small Porcupines are in comparison with Night Elf females, but seeing as Porcupines are really small and Night Elves pretty tall, it does seem bigger.

My biggest problem with Porcupines is that they are so small, so this would possibly make me want to have one.

[Kalliope]

That looks like the 20% that Deth has too. God. -_-

Nice work! I'm not a huge fan of kiting without all my stuff in place (which it is not), so I completely emphathize. T_T

[Ziarre]

That does look bigger--which would make a lot of sense to me, since Skoll is bigger than normal spiky worgs.

[Kyria]

Hutia seems to have an EXTREMELY short respawn timer. She popped up again about ten minutes after being tamed. It may be a temporary beta thing, but then again, given the respawn timers on the other rares...

[Miacoda]

Definitely larger than normal porcupines.

[Slickrock]

Anyone notice that the new porcupine-spirit-beast colors coordinates with the colors of the new monk elemental spell?

And guess no one cares about the direhorns anymore, given the lack of new screenies... /grumble, or in finding that new Dino-bird model....
