Skarr!

Unread post by Aleshanee »

Finally! Just Ban'thalos now and I can relax. :D

I was sitting up at his northen most spawing point, and after a couple of false alarms (people getting out their Skarr on purpose to fudge with my NPCscan), he popped up....on the rocks below! :( The hunter who had been waiting there began to tame, but they botched it and died very fast, leaving him with 5 stacks of his spell. In my panic I fell off a rock and died.

I slowly and sadly made my way back to my body, expecting to see him tamed... Wait, what's this?! He's still up?! And no returning hunter in sight... He'd died before me, and I'd made my way back slowly, dejectedly, and expecting to find no cat.

Didn't have time to think about it too much! There was Skarr! Alive! Untamed! Stacks fallen off!

I specced MM especially for the tame. I didn't want to risk it with BM/Survival but have since gone back to this combo. I just don't like MM. Hit tame, waited for him to start casting barrage and silenced, deterrenced and hit tame again. Mine. Easy.

Only for the original hunter to show up a minute later and chew me out for "stealing [their] tame".

I felt bad for the guy, but honestly. This is the most sort after pet in the game at the moment. I too had been camping (albeit in a different spot, I was still camping the same creature), he had died and seemingly not returned, many other hunters were in the zone... Would this guy have waited for me had he spawned up top and I had vanished? Unlikely.

I named her Ruby, as people have been calling her the Gem Metal Cat or Gem Cat, and 'cause she has red eyes. :)

Congratulations. And eeh, you both died - it was open game. He had his chance and you didn't interfere with his tame so you didn't steal it.

Aye, I let the hunter that was at my Skarr try first, and got him after the other failed...as long as the kite/tame itself is not interfered with, I feel it's fair game with these 'challenge' tames.

Very lucky :)
Same thing happened to me, Except I was the one that had died. When I had came back up, It was still there, But I died again.. (haha -___-;) So while I was waiting for my 2 Minute respawn timer, A BE Hunter came over as soon as I res'd and while I was in the middle of tame, Very close, He got aggro of it and tamed it from me. I was sad, But I know that some night i'll end up finding Skarr again :)
And again, Very nice job !

And a few hours later, Ban'thalos, who has been renamed Morpheus, after the Greek God of dreams...because now I can finally sleep! :D Used the tree method, and placed a trap before space-baring up high enough (make sure you have dismount on attack box ticked in the interface options!). He didn't even get a chance to cast his moonfire before he was frozen.

Waiting for him to fly within shooting range was the longest few seconds of my WOW life. :O

Thanks all! :D :D :D Very happy! Have all the 4.2's I want now!
