Don't know if this has been reported yet. Swarming Guardians in Ulduar are tameable!

It's this skin http://wow-petopia.com/look/tigergemskinblackgem.html

Woo :) Were there any at 80 that you could actually tame, or are they still 81 but flagged as tameable?

Sweet :) I'll remove them from the list as soon as they're confirmed tamed (in case of any unexpected "already controlled" bugs or otherwise, like we've seen on a few mobs).

Oh cool! My Ravage (a black spotted "gem" leopard from Zul'Drak) might be getting a makeover come Cata!

What part of Ulduar are they in? I've only ever done the first couple bosses in there for weeklies. That's what sucked about hitting 80 for the first time after ICC came out -- nobody wanted to do any of the "lesser" raids anymore.

Has any1 tried taming the Crazy Cat Lady's cats in Ulduar yet since the patch? I am really interested in them - I can't get an Uld group together just to try >.>~

Don't you have to be level 81 first? ;)

For those who might not have been there: this mob is summoned *during* the fight by the Crazy Cat Lady, Auriya. They are a teeny tiny mob that are summoned to attack a person en masse. They have low hit points and are fairly easily killed. I also don't know if they have a proper threat table; they are spammed at the person whom she summoned the swarm on.

I don't mean to sound like I'm being a naysayer, but this tame may be difficult for a *lot* of reasons due to this.

A) She only summons them during the battle, when she is aggroed. So you will have to be able to fight her while it's going on.
B) They are easily killed by AOE. You will *have* to have a group who knows what you're here for and won't spam AOEs when the little ones show up
C) They may need to be summoned on the hunter in order to have 'threat' so they can be tamed. You could try pulling one off with Distracting Shot, but it's iffy.
D) A lot of things are happening that can break a tame. Auraiya fears. The guardian (if it is summoned) can stun.

That all said, I really do hope someone can pull the tame off on these beauties! I'm considering attempting to be the one to do it, though it might take a guild run and some prayer to do so.

I'm sure these cats will be worth the wait and the work to get them like the oily wolf was for most people.

Holding aggro on them is going to be the biggest problem.
