It is a Spirit Beast, however:

He might have caught a ghost wolf - it was available for a few weeks thanks to that method of catching pets with appearence buffs; or he might have caugth a Grimtotem Spirit Guide, which was tameable for the first few weeks of TBC if I remeber rightly. Both those beasts are Wolfs, not Spirit Beasts, and the first one loses his ghostly appearence with death.

Unless it was the original ghost wolf. And then he's likely a good hunter.

Dang... you mean I can't be a good hunter without the original ghost wolf?

I'll guess I'll roll a tank class then.

I need more hunters, IMO.

I'd like to know why having the original ghost wolf makes him a good hunter. He could be a total huntard and still have it as far as I'm concerned.

Guessing he means because of how long the hunter's then been around. I'd hope after playing for so long you'd be a half-decent player, but some of the things I've seen... :lol:

Can unfortunately confirm that a ghost wolf doesn't necessarily make a hunter "good" in any shape of form. I know a pvp champ who owns the old grimtotem wolf, and he's a very rude and childish individual.

Karoma and Ghostcrawler are the first non-elite Spirit Beasts. So SV and MM can use them. :)

Didn't mean this either.

But, you had to have your shit together in order to make that tame. Jerk or good guy is irrelevant.

That doesn't make you a good hunter...?

Mean it wasn't seriously hard to stack haste. It never is hard to stack haste. Stacking haste doesn't make you a good hunter, Slickrock. All those hunters were, were lucky. Nothing more, nothing less. Because seriously going by that definition, the people who got Krush pre shattering are 'good hunters' while the rest of us are not as 'good hunters'...

All they had was the money to spend on drums, shaman and or patience to do it. It's no different than Rosalyn with her burning Roast. Roast doesn't make her a good hunter because she figured out the right time to finish the tame with/without haste >_>

If you have at least 51-points in the BM talent tree, then you can tame elite beasts. SV and MM cannot tame elites. Since Karoma and Ghostcrawler are non-elites, then any hunter can tame them.

LOL. Then, tell me, why did my MM specced hunter have the ELITE serpent from Wailing Caverns? MM and Surv CANNOT tame ANY spirit beast, regardless of being elite or not.

It does, Spirit beasts are exotics, which is what gives them the BM-tame tag, not whether or not their elite...

It's ok, it was a common mistake, especially with how similar those words are. :D Besides, what the heck type of human doesn't make a few mistakes or misreads every once in a while? ;)
