I've been camping Skoll for about 3 weeks now, and I finally find him tonight.. dead
I asked in general "aw who killed Skoll? " the reply I got was "I did. I tried to tame him over and over on my BM hunter and it would not let me".
So is this true or was I being lied to? (gut feeling I got lied to, because it seems this would be something immediately noticed after the patch)
Has anyone else had trouble taming Skoll since the patch?
I am a very sad panda to have finally found him and reluctantly skinned his corpse to get his de-spawn time

He's still tamable. The hunter was either lying or unable to tame for the usual reasons.

Theres always the possibility when it comes to rare tameables that they could of been killed for at least a dozen reasons. Many because people can do them and they know what they are doing but they dont care. Theres lots of different reasons he could of done that but definitely not because hes not tameable, infact if he was on a non-hunter he might of been lying about using a BM hunter and just wanted to screw you up a bit with the whole 'untameable' thing

I looked everywhere and there is no previous mention of this, so i am going to have to call BS and mourn the loss of the Skoll tame until next time.
I'll get him though!
I stumbled on Aotona last night, so I know good things come to those who wait

I had a hunter kill Karkin once because he thought that "only BM hunters can tame the rare pets"

He leveled to 85 thinking that. There are some dumb ones out there, so perhaps he was in MM spec and thought he could tame him and got upset and killed him, or he's just a meanie.

GL on finding him again

Skoll is definitely still tameable. I rehome him pretty often.

Sounds like someone noobed out on which spec they were in.

I've rehomed Skoll post patch. This is untrue. I am guessing he was lying, but his "bm hunter" could have easily been level 79. A lot of people mistake things like that if they don't know the hunter class (Hey, I did it myself! )

Like many previous posters have mentioned: I too encountered a hunter who was confused about not able to tame a certain animal. especially the exotic ones.

As a matter of fact it did happen to my friend once who has a hunter too. He wanted a red corehound. This was before patch 4.3 and 4.1 even.
Anyway, he clicked his tame beast button and he complained "It doesn't work!" repeatedly.
First we came to the conclusion that something must have bugged, either the npc is not tagged as beast somehow or just a general bug of which we hadn't a clue what it could be.
We managed to stay alive and my friend ran to another room and feign death to reset the boss.
After a short debate I mentioned to him "But you are in BM spec, right?" ... small pause... "ehmmm, oops!" he said.

I think this is the case. Some forget which spec they're in and happens to some for whatever reason.
But to kill something because you can't tame it ? I don't understand that to be honest.
I have Skoll luckily and if I see him again, I will let him walk around. I know it took me a lot of time to finally tame him.

I think that Skoll is still tameable because I think that news about a pet not available anymore would get around fast. Or the (hunter) forums would have mentioning something like this I guess.
I don't know this for a fact. It's just what I think.

The red corehounds are nice, but... but, and sorry about this, but... the burning sound of the lava on the core hound. It puts me off a bit. I mean, it is a nice corehound, no argument here.
I have to say I do wear Headphones alot and then every little sound is very much on the foreground more or less.
I don't like the 'burning' sound on terrorpene too. but this is another discussion alltogether.
It is not really a complaint, ok a tiny one, because I love Terrorpene, because he's just awesome .

I seriously couldn't believe the hunters that I met when I was questing in the Molten Front. I'd spot one of the rares and do a /who hunter molten front to see what hunters might want him. Some of the ones I asked said that they didn't want to tame them because they thought the 4.2 rares were BM only. I mean, what hunter wouldn't know this? They must've at least heard of them. Eh, I don't know.

Some hunters I met didn't even know about sites or forums like wow-petopia ! I always try to squeeze a petopia url in the whisper I have with another person. Of course I will not always do that, I don't want to give a salespitch to the person.
But when we have a good discussion going I'd like to mention during the discussion that one could take a look at petopia.

I know the feeling. Skoll I think is one of the most killed Rares in Wrath due to all his spawn points being around the tlpd and every I've talked too believe he shares a spawn timer with the drake. The first night he appeared for my troll I got the tip he was there and hearthed to Dal and got there as fast as I could to see a hunter killing him "Oh I forgot to dismiss my pet first." This being a week or so after I almost had him tamed on my alliance hunter to have over geared druid basicly two shot him out form under me.

Keep at work he's tameable still if you find him and he's not then it's a bug that needs to reported.
