King Dred - HC

[Saturo]

Is King Dred tameable on HC now? The Naxx spiders are, so reasonably, he should be too.

[Sarayana]

Wasn't he always? I thought the issue was that he was too high level to tame.

[Saturo]

Aye, I know that. It was the same with the naxx spiders, tough.

[Redith]

Dred is tameable on non heroic. In fact me Sil and Velph tamed him. His a sonofa ill tell you what.
Actually THEY got him, i got Mosh lol

[Saturo]

I KNOW that he's tameable on normal! I was asking about HEROIC. He's shown as tameable on lore, same as the naxx spiders, but it's a LEVEL issue, and now I'm just asking. I haven't even heard of anyone taming a heroic boss.

Level: 71 - 82
Classification: Elite

Yup probs will be tameable on HC to if you can live long enough to tame him

Grievous Bite - Inflicts 8,000 Physical damage and applies a bleeding effect that deals 1,050 to 1,250 every 2 seconds until the target is fully healed.
Mangling Slash - Inflicts 125% of his melee damage and increases the damage done by bleeding effects by 75% for 15 seconds.
Fearsome Roar - Reduces all damage done by nearby targets by 250 for 8 seconds.
Piercing Slash - Inflicts 125% of his melee damage and reduces the armor of his current target by 75% for 10 seconds.
Bellowing Roar - Fears all tagrets in a 35 yars range for 4 seconds.
Raptor Call - Calls a Drakkari Gutripper or Drakkari Scytheclaw to assist King Dred.

I'd be interested to know if he is tamable in the heroic now also, if anyone has tried.

Why would you want to tame him? Seems a bit of a waste to me.

[Saturo]

Why would you want to tame him? Seems a bit of a waste to me.

Why would you want to tame King Krush or Moshie? Or normal Dred for that matter.

[cowmuflage]

Well i ment that to me it feels like a waste of a boss ya know. :S i know where your comeing from but just seems like a waste of a boss thats all.

[Sarayana]

I'm going to tame him when we get the bigger stables. I like the idea of getting my friends together (I'm enlisting a friendly shammy for heroism and my buddy's holy priest has agreed to sacrifice himself for threat-free heals.) and getting a really hard tame down. I don't want a different mob with the same skin, I want Dred.

And taming regular Dred isn't?

People shouldn't need that gear in Cata anyway.

[cowmuflage]

Well they would need the gold the gear gives and stuff. That still does not make it not feel like a waste to me lol

[Kalliope]

Eh, the gold off of ONE boss's drops isn't worth it in comparison to the happiness of the hunter, IMO. Especially since no one's going to be doing a taming run at-level, since that's not possible. Gotta be his level, which means outleveling/gearing the instance to begin with.

[Slickrock]

Just saw Dred on live, and yes, he is tameable, if you are lvl 82.

I could say the same about The Beast in UBRS, yet hunters do go there to tame it regardless of the loot it can give, like that +Skinning dagger.

Yeah but in all fairness, the Zulian slicer (also +skinning) from ZG drops better, not to mention you have a chance at a tiger mount there! The Beast was definitely my most entertaining solo tame I must say - he gave me grief for a good two days before I got enough haste, luck and star alignment (curse old-world FD resists)! Love that he keeps his -1 level / boss icon!

I've yet to be successful with King Krush - someone always dies, and far too often due to outside interference. I've wanted him since he stomped on me the first time!
