King Krush even more difficult to tame now!

[Azunara]

Flew around Un'goro. Only saw one devilsaur in 5-7 minutes of searching and it was the white one. This means nothing, mind, all I could fine during my quick search was a white one. Maybe we will get lucky. And if we all say something....?

I didn't even notice the sub section it was under.lol

In my experiences taming Krush was along the same lines as taming The Beast was. Both hit extremely hard and feared like mad.
The tame attempt on Krush didn't happen for me after 20 minutes of trying.
The Beast I got but was with help from a pally and now trash pet or BW.
Both tames require a lot of haste and stamina!

With taming King Dred I had a priest and had fear ward so I made the tame easily.

I almost had Krush (in live) several times at the end when I would get killed with 2 seconds left on the tame clock and that was starting with no pet or BW. But my tame time at the lowest was 11 seconds.
So I'm sure it can be done. At least I seriously hope so.

Oh and one trick that may be worth trying for those who want to ..................... snakes. The snake trap DOES work. Not just as a short way to slow him down but also to get him to fear the snakes.

That's brilliant! I love having hunters popping down a snake trap on p3 of the black knight in toc5 because I see him putting his mark on the snakes instead (army of the dead works wonders too!). It warms my healer heart. But it never occurred to me that it'd work there. Brilliant.

he doesnt hit twice as hard your combat log shows normal krush hits and in cata with reforging and everything have 100+ stats such as stamina you can easily make a nice haste/stamina taming set out of some dungeon blues i think at 85 there will be like 200+ stamina on items

[Victorelle]

I found him and it seemed my BW worked when I tried on the beta

[Zangor]

you tamed him?

also small note but the stats look niceon lvl 85 items

You don't understand....I popped tame and was stunned/feared not even 2 seconds into it both times I tried lol

Um no I am understanding, you're not listening- even with TBW being nerfed, for hunters, aslong as you get the tame to 10 seconds as I am going to assume Fear Ward is still in game because of how long a cooldown it has [three minutes I assume] that Krush should still be a possible tame.


Edit: Besides, I managed to tame King Mosh without haste and without TBW as I was a dumbass lv 70 who didn't think to use a trash pet for fear immunity. If I could manage that in 3/5 tries- then surely with enough haste to get Tame Beast to 10 seconds, you can do it too.

I am guessing you meant a L.80 and not a L.70...

There's even a glyph that makes it a 2m duration and 2m cd too. ^_^

You can tame Mosh at 70....

No I was Level Seventy. Not 69, not 71, 70 as I hadn't gotten Wrath yet, as they weren't letting me DL the game off of the site like I had for WoW and TBC. So I was a lv 70 in PvP gear running thru the basin looking for something of a challenge. I saw Mosh and decided well why not.

Then I decided I must have him when he completely owned a Shaman in way, way better gear than me.

I apologize, I was skimming the posts and just saw "tamed at L.70" and I thought you were talking about King Krush.

My mistake.

Ah lol.

But anyways the point still stands, Mosh and Krush both have the same sort of fear- it triggers randomly. And with Mosh I found if you used anything other than Tame Beast, it seemed to trigger faster, harder and was overall not worth trying to do detterance+Life blood in any way shape or form to negate his crushing blows.

Albeit Krush has a shorter time between fears, in my 3/4 tests on the PTR [subsiquently failed tests I add], he feared anywhere from 10 seconds into the tame, to 19 seconds into the tame.

Meaning In Theory if you have the luck, patience and no one trying to take him down, you can get Krush on your own if Tame Beast is as low a cast tame as possible.

Either you had some SERIOUSLY lucky RNG, or Blizzard is being kind to hunters on the sly! I've had him fear me immediately before, but then, I was trying to open with something other than tame....

[Oom]

I'll have to try again then. I only got two attempts before the guards killed it and both times he feared me IMMEDIATELY....so if his cd on fear is 10 seconds, then yes it'll be possible with a fear ward, but its not possible to solo it anymore I suppose.

[Oom]

Kind of random, but my baby reappeared in my stable this evening :3 along with my 4 spirit beasts!

[Kalliope]

Easiest retame ever? xD

[Oom]

Easiest retame ever? xD

XD no I didn't retame him...I had him on live and after the latest patch he along with my 4 spirits disappeared from my stable

I left the 5 original slots open and logged on her today and they were back.....so happy!
