just make a macro, /target amani’shi warbear (or w/e their called) /cast freezing trap /cast tame beast. I’d try it but my guild only tries for atleast 3 chests.

I didn’t try to actually tame any of the bears in ZA last night, but I did use Beast Lore on both the pairs of bears and the bear mounts after the trolls had dismounted. It may have just been a matter of timing, but they all showed up as untameable.

Kind of a pity, too. We’d had some issues on the eagle boss and didn’t have time to save the bear boss’ prisoner, so there was no real hurry to the run. If those things’d been tameable, the raid would most likely have bent over backwards to help me tame one of those bears.

Cool..I should get me one of those bears, but with my guild, I wont be stepping in there for awhile since well, we suck, we only have 2 out of 20 70s EVER active (Me and my friend Kris)..And since we have no idea how ZA works, we rather wait and not make idiots of ourselves again.

Note that the bear’s primary aggro target needs to be YOU – if anyone is higher on the threat list, the tame won’t work.

However, if you can open a tame on it without seeing “Cannot Be Tamed”, as people are reporting on the bears that spawn from the riders, then it’s probably feasible to tame one; I would suggest sheeping it until the rider is dead, shooting it with Distracting Shot while it’s sheeped [DS doesn't break sheep, but if you land any damaging shot... well, you know], and, once the rider is dead, getting the mage to sheep it once more, dropping a trap, telling your healers to back off and going for the gold.

I may try this on a ZA run if everyone’s feeling mellow. Maybe bribe the shaman to pop Heroism on you, so your tame runs a little short and you don’t get two-shotted by the bear.

They should put it back in an 80′s raid, imo. That way it’s still available, yet still hard to get. Maybe change the color to make it a polar bear, with the trolls up there. Undead bear even.

The update I found on the Armani Bear was for the mount. They are making it so you cant get them anymore after the xpansion comes out. They want it to be a “trophy” kinda thing for the people that could kill the bosses fast enough (or however you get it). They dont want a bunch of 80s going in and farming it lol.

This has proven to be a bit more complicated than I thought! But I appreciate everyone who threw in to help unravel the mystery. :> Thanks, guys!

I agree with Concrete. How could this be possible but no one seems to have any evidence. And of course on a private server they have those! On a private server couldn’t I have a Blood Elf Healadin as my tamed pet if I wanted too?
