Magmadar!

Guess who's tameable! And super easy to get to at 85! And he keeps a boss tag for those that like that sort of thing.

Ooooh...now that's interesting news! Especially for people who tamed The Beast for the tag specifically.

Cool!

*snuggles DaBeast who shall ALWAYS be The Beast, regardless of boss tag* <3<3<3

Very very happy for those who just wanted the tag.

I just wanted Magmadar, lol. I honestly never really went for the Beast but I've been eying him for a few patches, since the AQ bosses became tameable. Something about Molten Core and nostalgia I guess. But he hadn't been tameable until this patch.

This is great news!

And it's funny, but....I have no desire to get him for the Boss tag. ^^ I'm attached to my Beast, and he wouldn't be Beast if he was Magmadar. ^_^

[Kalliope]

Oh yes, I should have said YAY for those who specifically wanted this guy as well! I love how Blizzard is allowing vanilla players to tame their favorite (or least favorite) bosses from vanilla.

I wanted Beast to keep his boss tag....least for those of us who tamed him as such. /cry

Okay, I went in again on a second character, who is not as geared as the first, (also 85, but in questing blues/greens), just to see what the damage was like, because I really didn't pay attention the first time. I was just like zomgmagmadaryesyesyes.

Anyway, he did about 22k damage to my lower geared character, which would make this a tricky tame to pull off at 80. He will most likely fear at least once... both times he feared about 6-7 seconds into the tame, but there wasn't a fear after that. I skipped the core hound packs, so I made sure I was pressed as far away from them when I started, and that I moved back away from them after the fear. Part of it is luck that you don't get feared into them, but both times I didn't get close enough to worry about it. (You can skip the hounds and Luci by hugging up the right wall and watching Luci's pat - I always camo, I imagine it helps a little -- alternatively, you can kill everything). The hound packs still aren't tameable by the way, which I imagine will stay that way due to their self-rezzing ability... might cause some problems if one of them just up and disappears.

I'll probably be dropping my regular MC corehound for Mag once I hit 85. There's something thrilling to me about taming these bosses. I'm not doing it for the tag so much (although I think it's cool), just for the enjoyment of having the upper hand, as well as taming things that I wouldn't've even IMAGINED back when I was actually fighting them.

I was all set to go get him at 80, but.. now with that green one with red flames... too many choices...
