Tame beast speed cap?!

Unread post by Lazei »

Hello guys, writing about an issue im havin about stackin haste :(
i'm intended to tame swarming guardians in auraya encounter, in ulduar, and trying to stack haste as much as possible..but today...
this morning i had 10% haste from gear, plus ancient hysteria, and tamed a scorpid in durotar in 7 seconds..
now i stacked more haste socketing 8 gems 40haste,got passive 14% haste, then used a potion of speed, elixir of mighty speed, ancient hysteria..and tamed the same scorpid in durotar in 7 seconds... :-/
how can it be?
maybe there is a low cap in tame beast cast?
help me please T_T

There should not be a cap on haste, as I tested recently in deadmines (regular) with Cookie's food. I got the stack of the food buff to 99, for a grand total of 2780% increased haste (yes, that's the real number). I quickly jumped down and popped Tame Beast on a parrot, and before it even said Entering Combat, I had a new pet! No cast bar appeared, and it just instantly occured. I have 6% haste normally.

While I'm not saying to spend 20~ minutes stacking that buff and getting a port to Auriya and hoping you don't lag for 1 minute, I am confirming that there is not a stop for haste. You want as many buffs as you can, because every extra percent is worth it. Good luck on your tame!

without buffs i tame in 7 seconds, with my troll bezerking racial i tame in 6 seconds ^^ havent tried adding haste buffs by elixers yet tho, i know haste pots actually make it slower if you got something like shamans bloodlust/heroism, potions, corehounds ancient hysteria

It looks slower, but it's still faster--due to the way haste affects dots. Tame Beast is, in a sense, a strange dot with one tick...enough haste fools the game into thinking a second tick should be added, thus it displays as longer than it is.

Also, don't worry about haste to tame the Uld kitties. ^_^ I did it very recently with no more haste than level 85 gear already gives me (so I would have had a 7~10 sec tame) and had absolutely no trouble. No loss of aggro, no de-spawning, nothing. You can only tame them if the kitties spawn on you, though, cause they spawn with like 1000k threat on whoever they were summoned to spawn on lol. Good luck :D
