Oh, my aim is deadly. Silencing shot has a three second lockout on it.
That's why I waited as late in the tame as possible to cast.
And on the last time he casted it, I used scatter as an interrupt.

I just waited til he got half way throught the first cast, hit SS, then hit tame again and normally he never casted again.

Hmm, question: Has anyone tried free action potions on the stun? I'd have to change specs to take advantage of a corehound or silence shot.

Thanks!

True, though I read earlier it doesn't disorient, so it'd only stop the cast that one time I assume? I'm hoping if the potion works it'd buy me 6 seconds for a little bigger cushion of time.

The question with scatter is whether it does the lockout the same way as silencing shot does. Generally, if a mob can be interrupted with scatter, it takes the disorient as well, but scatter seems to work as an alternative interrupt here. Unfortunately, I think I'd need to do this tame again just to be absolutely sure I wasn't misreading.

Yes.
In fact, marks is generally the preferred spec, since we *know* silencing shot works. That's been completely tested.

So after testing things out on Karkin a bit, I have concluded these things.
1) He will cast Fieroclast Barrage in response to any Tame Beast cast, unless he is prevented from casting when you initiate your cast. Silence and Interrupt works to this effect, and I assume if you use a pet for a Stun it would too.
2) Scatter Shot does not work as it is not a true interrupt, I guess. He will stop the cast, and immediately resume without the Tame Beast stimulus.
3) Haste brute forcing works of course, e.g. the wind buff.
So, if you initiate your Tame Beast cast while Fieroclast is locked out or he is pre-silenced, you are completely safe assuming you have hp to survive a couple 20k fireballs.

I'm guessing for Non-Marks hunters one could always use a trash moth for the interrupt and lockout (4 secs I believe) and use an abandon/tame beast macro? Might make it a tad easier

I also hear that barrage can be deterrenced. The key is still having it up before the cast finishes.
