Hi. I’ve been a lurker here but thanks to all the help I’ve been getting from Jessibelle of Moon Guard, I’m sharing my Solix tame to the community.
Solix!
Now this was a strange tame… ideally, one had to put two Ice Traps, Concussive Shots while kiting, then tame when Solix is about 45% focus. But this was what happened…
When I arrived, another hunter kept on dying while attempting to tame. When the hunter died a third time, I stepped in. I threw in an Ice Trap, waited impatiently for its cooldown, then placed a second one. I fired Concussive Shot at Solix then bolted away. The strangeness began here…
I believe Solix missed my second trap because he was running too fast towards me. But since I was a bit far away, my Concussive Shots were still slowing him down a bit. He caught up with me… but luckily I was blasted INTO the lava! I was already swimming as fast as I can out of there when I noticed Solix was all ready to tame! So I jumped onto whatever platform I can find, took a Potion of Speed, then cast Deterrence, then cast Tame Beast. I think the original hunter got aggro because my taming broke, so out of panic, I hit Tame Beast again. Just two seconds in, I got Solix. Wait, two seconds?!
Strangely lucky, right? Up to now, I couldn’t figure out exactly what went right. There were too many factors in play: aggro, evade, focus, maybe even lag… strange, strange luck!
Skarr and Solix in one night and tamed minutes apart… calls for a celebration. *cue in Kool and the Gang.

Remember, this is no sprint. The true test of a hunter tests his endurance over the course of a long expedition.

Re: Strange Solix tame
Yeah, we had Solix die and the tame finish at the same time. So ... my friend got a tear and a Solix. O_o

Re: Strange Solix tame
I have had people tame Solix before the buff wore off by keeping him chained with my DK. I didn't think that was even POSSIBLE! Even stranger, I was alliance and he was horde and I had the tag and the aggro, and yet he still tamed Solix while I had him chained and immobile. Very strange, and very lucky for my horde friends.

Re: Strange Solix tame
Solix is a strange critter....and Hi Anj! <3
Re: Strange Solix tame
Congrats! Solix is a strange one alright - a hunter friend in my guild recently tamed him. He (the hunter) died as the tame went off, and resultantly Solix re-spawned but my friend still got his pet, lol.
For my own tame, something trippy happened and he was supposed to kill me but didn't and I survived with like 2 health and a new pet.
Weird buggy bug.

Re: Strange Solix tame
Congrats!!
It's not the first time I hear that someone's tame went off in 2 seconds. I saw a hunter tame Skarr like that, and she only had the haste pot buff.... I don't know what it is, perhaps a bug with those haste areas in Molten Front?

Re: Strange Solix tame
I keep hearing about these instant tames...I even had one myself with Karkin. Soon as I hit tame, he was mine. I saw the castbar for maybe..1 second? if that? And then he was instantly tamed.
My speculation is it has something to do with the ranged evadeing? Like how you were on a platform in the lava? It just seems like every time Ive heard something about an instant tame it involved the hunter being on one platform while the beast being tamed was on another. I cant really complain about such a bug, but I still think its a bug none the less, heh.
