Turtle tanking Argaloth

[Darkynhalvos]

I know this has been done before, just wanted to share my experience.

Got into a 10 man group that needed a tank, so I volunteered Panzer, my turtle to do the job. Most of them were skeptical, but as it was nearing time for the TB battle to start, and there was no time left to keep looking for a tank, they agreed to try my idea.

Did this once before, on PTR, this was my first pet-tanking of Argaloth on live. Took a few screenshots, attached to this post.

Total pug, was pleased but surprised they agreed to let me do this. The pally healer whispered me after the kill, saying how impressed they were with the whole deal.

Um... Turtle Power?

Next time I'd like to use my shale spider, since I have yet to see any screenshots or videos of them doing this. Mostly it's turtles, there was also a bear and a gorilla who did it.

There was also a video of a turtle tanking Maloriak.

I remember seeing that, I'll try it sometime myself, after I study the video and discuss it with my guild.
I was considering Atramedes as a possible pet-tank, or is that just wishful thinking?

If you can pick him up again when he drops out of the air phase, you could probably swing a pet tank there.

From what I saw of Occu'thar, the new BH boss when I was doing ptr, he may also be a good target for pet-tanks, at least after he's been on live long enough for folks to go through the fight and know the mechanics.
