NO. i've used the scare beast method and it has always worked. in fact just did it today before i loged over to my other hunter. i know it works..

A hunter tried it before and it didn't work at all. She tried more than once and there was a crapton of hotfixes in 4.2.2. I've had reports from other hunters on my server saying it didn't work anymore unless his buff was gone.

I want to clear this up. Skitter was just up for at least 30 minutes so I thought I would test this out, also I am tired of seeing him die this week. Your friend must have done it wrong, cause I only hit scare beast and tame. It broke once, but only cause he fled out of range, but it did work. I didn't do anything else. Didn't feel like much of a challenge, but I assume it wasn't meant to be intended this way.

Not trying to derail the thread, just wanted to say that it did work. Although, I feel bad for taming him since I don't exactly want him.

And Ryno and I are half-mods and have some moderating powers in certain forums.

In all seriousness, related to the topic, this is one of those mileage may vary kind of deals. I have never seen Skitterflame or Solix on my server, whether wild or tamed. I've seen Anthriss several times, tamed or rare, Deth and Kirix more frequently than that. There's two or three Skarrs and Karkins on my server (I've never seen them wild.) And one or two Banny's about.

I have never seen Magria or Ankha once however, tamed or otherwise. So, in CC, we have some rares, but we're not as big rare hunters as some servers. Hell, I've never seen griefing going on in the tames I've watched, just a bunch of people helping. I did have one Hordie panic when they saw me, but I reassured them I was harmless, which was a good thing, as they were close friends or spouse to another friend of mine on Alliance, which I didn't know.

All in all, servers vary. You don't see very many Cata rares on Cenarion Circle, or that's what I've noticed. A lot of people used the NR SBs instead.

As for killing rares instead of taming them...First come, first serve in my mind. Always has been. If you are not interfering in a tame, and you have found the rare first, do what you want, whether it is slaughter or tame or rehome.

Ah. Perhaps they did or he got scared out of range. I'll keep that in mind.

@Azu - True. You kinda are like semi-mods. XD I almost forgot about that.

[Azunara]

Pfft, it's okay. Most do, we're not exactly thrilling or active, and we can't edit or do anything beyond our respective little forums.

But you're my highpaw buddy mod or not. x3 I think you're the only person thats as nuts about druids as I am.

Hehehe. I am a sucker for warlocks more than, dare I say it, hunters.

And my mage -is- kind of fun.

*LEGASP!* Blasphamy!!! Nah I'm kiddin. I'd like Warlocks more if we had more demon choices.

[Azunara]

Eh, I wouldn't mind more skins, but the biggest problem I have is the inability to name my demons. Yes, I know they're beings you summoned, but I imagine if every demon is named Ghgxbvcx, then it'd be a bit confusing. I don't think it wouldn't be too off-base to nickname your demon. Hell, my lock calls her felguard Maxwell because Izzikrill is stupid. He doesn't mind. And her felhunter isn't even a proper demon, its her corrupted wolf from when she was a hunter. Some demonic name doesn't even make sense.

It is. Izzikrill? Sounds like something you'd name a shrimp.

[Azunara]

That was my opinion, too. Hence why I've called him Maxwell since, oh, when I first had him.

The last fel guard I had was....very emo. He wanted to kill himself a lot. O_o;

As for killing rares instead of taming them...First come, first serve in my mind. Always has been. If you are not interfering in a tame, and you have found the rare first, do what you want, whether it is slaughter or tame or rehome.

I think the problem I am seeing is that people are in fact killing them when a hunter is present and trying to tame it. That rubs me the wrong way. Though I have seen them killed when there is no hunter in sight... but that bugs me a lot less. I mean that Anthriss from the other day had 4 hunters that were trying to tame him... Some failed, while others almost had their tames but people interrupted it. It was just sorta mean to watch and the justification for killing him was that common mobs exist. Was the 25g tear worth killing him when hunters were trying to tame him? No, I don't think so

The way I see it, to draw out the question to the point of how I personally see it, is the 25g worth killing the rare even without a hunter around? Knowing that some hunter might show up soon to tame it? I just cant see 25g being worth that much to anyone these days. >.< heh

Heck. I'd pay anyone 25g to leave it -alone-

OMGosh...I so agree, I'd so love love love my lockie more if I could get a demon pick...even if it was some diffrent colors.

I agree, I try to re-home any rares I come acrost if I dont want it...if no one speaks up I leave it alone for the next hunter to hopefuly have that heart stopping OMG it really is (insert rare's name here) OMG OMG...tame tame tame!! (or as I chant in my head, "love me love me love me!...YES!!!") moment that is so wonderful.

Karkin got killed right under my very nose. I was in group with a nice hunter who wanted to get him and was on her way through the fire. Some stupid warrior shows up and starts to hit him. He was von my faction so I whisper him "get off, someone wants to tame him, has no loot and nothing special" the warri just laughs at me "lol I was faster"

[Qinni]

And who cares if they're commonly seen? It just matters if you like them or not. Not really something to get all bent out of shape about. 4.2 has been out for awhile now. Did you expect them to remain uncommon? Skarr is the most common on my server but that doesn't make me look at him any less than a rare spawn. And I love all 3 of my skarrs.

Wut.

On different hunters right?

Yes. XD I have 4 hunters on Moon Guard. I got 2 more on Wyrmrest.

lol "Love me love me love me!" Thats very cute. But yeah I am the same way. I do my best to find -someone- who wants to tame the beast, but if I really cant I just continue on with my own business. I remember once I had my mage sitting out in Northrend (because I still enjoy finding the spirit beasts out there.) And I found Arcturis awake. I tried for 45 minutes while I was sitting in a ZG/ZA que timer to try and find him a home. Finally my dungeon popped and I thought to myself...well, someone will come along and tame'em. That ZG/ZA run turned into quite the wipe fest with both an under geared healer and tank, both of which didnt really know the dungeon so well...(two hours later -_-)...I pop outta my finally completed dungeon, and he's STILL wandering around. Finally I find a friend of a friend to come tame him. Even if he had no idea about the spirit bear before, he seemed happy to have a new pet regardless. =P
