1. those are pics btw, sorry it said something about a spam filter when I posted. O_o.

2. And more on topic, ain’t no way frost storm will go live with that kind of damage, not being 40 focus, 10/7 second cooldown, and 30 yards. That is insane, but would be great.

3. Chimerae look nice, but they’re not my cup of tea. Or Devilsaurs for that matter. I really want a moth though. I’m really hoping that they’ll make the low level blue ones tameable too.

4. Glasshunter, how in the world is your chimera doing that much damage?

5. *Glassdragon

   Ugh I’m sleepy.

6. The only times I’ve ever seen Nuramoc was when he’s bugged. Three times. >.>

   But I’m not really interested in that outlands model, or any of them tbh, what I can’t wait for is to tame a blue-white chimera, <3 them.

   But first Devilsaurs and now Chimera’s.

   And Wooly rhino? If they are tameable, awsome :D

7. Really love how much Epic damage they do. But I doubt I’m gonna get a Chimera. Devil saurs are more of what I like. Wooly Rhinos eh? Wow, surprised Mania hasn’t seen/posted about them yet!

8. Now were got chimeras any chance well will get to tame wyverns as well?

10. Point 18

    I’ve just checked and Vilewing Chimera are still not tamable.

11. Kristy-

    That’s because most of the wooly Rinos are, right now, Elekks. The Elekks and Kodos are being used as place holders for the larger beasts until their models are ready.

    This is as of the last time I had heard anything, which was a bit ago, admittedly.

12. I want to tame an Elekk.

    Trample Rank 1
    60 Focus 10 yd range
    Instant 30 sec cooldown
    Your pet enrages, trampling all enemies within range.

13. Did anyone manage to find and tame Numaroc on the European test server “Coldarra” already? I’ve patrolled his spawn locations a couple of hours now, but no chance. I’m also wondering if there are two different builds of the last patch, as the MMO-Champion talks of build 8719 while the EU build is 8714. Could it be that this single chimera doesn’t spawn in Europe atm?

    Regarding the spawning of rares in general, do I need to farm other mobs in the known spots for a while until such a mob pops up, or does it spawn regardless if anything is getting killed in these areas? Thanks!

14. I myself have also been trying to find him on coldarra, i’ve been searching most the day, and killing every mob around where he reportedly spawns. So much that i dinged 74 ><. no luck yet though, and im very close to giving up. the only time i would suggest trying is after a server restart

15. According to the popular WoW databases the respawn time of Numaroc shouldn’t be very long, though. Even if someone else tamed or killed it just a few minutes before you, it should be back within a couple of hours.

16. Sei, “place holders” eh? Okay…

17. Wooly rhinos showed up with at least first cut real models late last week (look more like clefthoofs than kodos). The elekk and oversized Peanut models running around Northrend are placeholders for mammoths.

18. My, hello, new pvp pet.

19. nobbie,

    There was a blue post stating that the new build was going to be 8719, it was later edited and corrected to 8714. MMO-Champion probably didnt update thier news.

20. @Dweezil …

    I really do hope that these pets are powerful. There really needs to be a reason for them. While I really have come to dislike the new pet talent trees for a similar reason to the whole “that pet is still better than this pet” thing, exotic pets need to have a reason for being the 51 point talent. The extra 5 points really are not worth it for anything more than survivability of the pet, which is just not worth the 5 points in my opinion.

    If the pets are average, you will see a lot of 51/20/0 hunters running around with Chimera and Devilsaur for a while, then in about a month you will see more Raptors, Wind Serpents, Ravagers and Wolves running around again. If they are what they should be and get a health/armor/damage modifier and a decent (yet not overpowered) ability, then we will see a lot of them. That being said, you are going to see alot more Gorillas, Turtles, Bears and Crocodiles running around as well. Overall the pet changes are great, I just wish they’d rework the pet talent trees into less of a pigeon holed “one family” talent spec system.

21. Honestly I could see froststorm going live with that damage it hits about 2k average in the right conditions crits for 8k and slows? Completely OP BUT it can be RESISITED. Its a Frost/Nature spell which means with the right gear and a druid it will become completely useless. Insane damage? Yes. OP? A little, but the fact that it can be resisted lowers that. Thats one reason I never got into wind serpents, unreliable.

22. Well this is cool, but i wonder if Hydras are next, anyone think its a possibility?

23. Hydras, basilisks, diemetradon, and pterodaxx’s all seem like possibilities, but we will have to sit back and see what happens.

24. SOO RAD I WANTED A DEVILSAUR BUT NOW I WANT THIS SOO COOL MANIA!!

25. I can Confirm that this is available in the EU Beta also. I camped all night and got one at 4:10 this morning… in need of sleep now, I’ll send Mania the pitures, if she wants to host.

    The Horde have a Chimera now Glassdragon!

26. Got fingers and toes crossed we’ll be able to tame the ZA bears

27. Just finishing an edit for a video it’ll be up soon with footage of the beast in action!

    (and no not had any sleep yet)

28. Asthock,

    if you like, drop me an e-mail to nobbie@gamona.de, and we’ll host it on the German WoW fansite WorldOfWar.de, too (flash stream + file download).

30. Devilsaurs and Chimeras then so far.
    I wonder what else

31. Pingback: [Hunter] WotLK Talents & Abilities Discussion - Page 40 - Elitist Jerks

32. slowing the target ????
    How many time ?
    Reduce speed ( % ) ???

33. The frost part of the spell has not been implimented yet.

34. this is great.
    this was the first on my list that i wished would be an exotic.
    though Nuramoc is very very hard to find. while lvling 4 chars i have only seen him once. so im hoping that the regular Chimeras will be tameable too.

35. I like the devilsaur ability better. low focus cost and it stacks effectively resulting in a 15% AP buff. For a level 80 Devilsaur that is a huge buff meaning that instead of needing froststorm to proc in order to get high dps your getting insane dps on every hit.

36. This is gonna b awesome! ive always wanted 2 tame a devilsaur and a chimeara, now all i need are a wyvern, a dragon and a new snake and all my dreams hav come true!

37. Just a quick update:

    We’ve uploaded Asthock’s video of “Nuramoc” as flash video (540×432) and WMV file download (720×576, ~54 MB) on WorldOfWar.de (Germany):

    http://wow.gamona.de/index.php?unid=12506

    Thanks again, Asthock, nice teaser! Now, if I can only get one myself :)

38. your all forgeting about kodos they need some love to

39. Well, I am personally hoping for Oozworm (Dustwallow Marsh), Kurkus (Amethyst Isle), and the Hippogryph (Ashenvale). I doubt I will get them, but I am hoping. If “exotic” is inclusive to only three families,I personally won’t go that far in the tree fopr the ability. I will stic with my spider (Zarakh look), pink tallstrider (Mazzranache look), and black lion (Humar). I’ll just add the rare silver gorilla (forget his name) and the blue scorpion as my two newbie pets. Just hope “exotic” gets a bit more variety than 3 families. Otherwise, it won’t be worth the talen points to me.

40. One of the possible exotic pets is the Proto-Drake since it has been listed as a beast and was tameable in the Alpha from all the reports.

    Do not forget that there might be some exotics that we haven’t seen or heard of before due to them not being currently in the game.

41. On Seidouyumi’s subject – we’ve not heard anything about new tameable species from Northrend. I’d thought at around this point in TBC we already knew about Ravagers and the like. Is this because they’ll do a pass later and set various beasts as tameable (exotic or otherwise) or are the exotic families the “new” pet species in WOTLK?

    And if the former, what new beasts are there out there on the beta that look as though they might be decent pets?

42. Hey, Mania when will the Chimaera be added to Petopia?

43. Gurluas: It’s up now — and terribly sorry about the delay. I got a little sick Saturday night.

    I still need to go through and pull out the rest of the info Glassdragon sent me, plus the movie from Asthock, etc. Hopefully I’ll get to that tomorrow — today was just a mess.

46. @Dweezil:

    The talent point isn’t just about exotic pets. It’s about giving your pets what essentially amounts to twenty extra levels worth of talent points on their talent trees. And that makes a huge difference. Find a pet talent calculator and see for yourself.

47. Chimaera eh? Very cool.

    Not as cool as the Kurken tho – come on Blizz u know u want to!!

49. I know this is an old post, but I’m just so excited, this article was the only reason I knew Nuramoc existed, and as of tonight…he’s my new PvP buddy! Thanks Mania!!
