For the record, I checked both Azshara stags and Feralas hippogryphs not too long ago and neither were tamable.

I’m having way too much fun with the core hound/Kurken – the whole two headed dog thing is just so enjoyable, especially since I can remember being killed off by Omen at the Lunar Fest way back in the day. There’s something so satisfying about a revenge taming!

I can NOT wait for the patch to go live so I can start seeing the new pets everywhere! I’m thinking our guild is going to go insane for our hunter alts. I’m hoping for a lot of Pet Taming Parties in the future!

I’m fairly sure The Beast is immune to stuns. ;)

@ Rudda

You ran and FD’ed your way through LBRS? Wow. o_o; That’s some patience man, I fought my way through it all for that worg pup and the little spider. In so-so blue gear too at the time.

@ Cuphat

In that case just use the Gazzarak taming way. Bring a few paladins and stun lock him long enough for the taming to finish.

Getting there may not be that hard. Run FD, Run FD etc. . . might get you there pending FD doesn’t get resisted. And you pick a safe spot to FD. Solo’d myself through LBRS for the worg pup that way. Its kinda hard on a pet that you may take along as trash. But you’re gonna dump it to try and tame the boss. . . so no biggie.

Can’t run through UBRS – you have to kill the trash rooms to open the door before Pyroguard Emberseer, then need to kill him (which, by the way, requires at least 2 others to click the thingy), and then have to kill Rend.

You are right, it’s a dynamic level, which means that they it is very, very unlikely that it would be tameable – and more to the point, even if it could be, it would likely be a bug that would be fixed before live. All actions against it is treated as if it is 3 levels above you – I highly doubt Tame Beast would be an exception to that rule. That’s not even taking into account how unlikely actually taming him would be either – he very often charges off at someone (which, as far as I know, would break the taming process) as well as AoE fears quite often as well – I don’t see it happening, honestly.

If I could actually get back there on beta, I wouldn’t mind trying just to dispel the rumors that he can be tamed – but that’s easier said than done, really. I could probably get my druid friend in on it, but then we’d still need one more to get past Pyroguard.

CORE HOUNDS!!! FINALLY!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooo :D

Fire core hound, and the elune hound.
Then there’s the demonic type in netherstorm.

They’ll make great pets i think.
