My First Re-homing!

Each time I head into the Molten Front the first thing I do is Eagle Eye Deth's spawn point and he was up again today! He appeared to be in the midst of someone kiting him and I ran over to see if I could help whoever was there. It was a paladin and I arrived to see him get squished :) He runs back and emotes a /cheer at me to show that I could start to tame him. I emoted back a /no and pulled out my own Deth, Javed. He did a /clap and then left. I whispered the first hunter I saw in the /who and got a worgen hunter named Baalik. I simply said "Hello, Deth'tilac is up, would you like to tame him?" First, he asked me if it was the bird to which I replied no, he was one of the new spiders. He declined my offer and said that he was all mine. I explained that I already had Deth, he whispered back asking me what color he was, I knew he was interested now :) I told him he was the purple one and invited him to the group. He gets over and I explain the tame mechanic and we begin the kite with him kiting and me sending my pet.

We wern't having any trouble, 2 traps and concussive shots and we were good. He gets down to about 50% and my pet takes another Deth strike, so I rezzed him and another hunter shows up, sending in his own spider. Both my pet and the other hunter's pet die to the Deth Strike. He becomes tamable. And suddenly Baalik got hit with a Deth Strike. I was next in line for aggro so I began the kite myself, buying time for Baalik to run back. All the while, the new hunter that showed up was spamming tame trying to take him from us :x So finally Baalik comes back and I tell him to get some aggro, get some distance and I would feign death. As I did I saw 2 tame beasts go up on Deth, I was nervous now, what if the other hunter that jumped in would snipe him out from under us, like the last time I tried to re-home Deth? But as Deth shrunk, he made his way to Baalik's side, I grats'd him and he thanked me, I've never felt more accomplished :)

Have a screenie of Airwyn, my Deth Javed and Baalik and his own Deth.

Its a good feeling, isn't it? If you like it, start your own channel and invite others in and start a "rehoming guild", even if its not a real guild. Haha.

Making a rehoming channel actually sounds like a really great idea! The feeling was great, I love helping people, after losing Deth to a blood elf hunter last time I tried to help someone, getting him tamed made it better :)

Good for you, Airwyn! It feels good watching someone that you helped run around with their new pet!

Its even better when they name the pet after you. Also kinda embarassing. Two Sarantha Deth'tilacs running around on my server that I know of. :oops:

It's always great to get that satisfied "thanks!" when rehoming.

I've rehomed about 6 or 7 skolls (all while camping TLPD for 2 toons :P) and about 5 terrorpenes simply because hes always there when i fly over for some reason.
