Overview
Tame a beast to be your companion. Your armor is reduced by 100% while you focus on taming the beast for 20 seconds. If you are interrupted during your taming focus for any reason, the taming process will fail. Once tamed, the beast will be very unhappy and disloyal. Feed your pet immediately after taming to increase its happiness and loyalty.
Functionality
Uses
- This ability allows the Hunter to train the beasts of Azeroth and make them his life-long companions. While the ability is useless except when applied to pets, one can tame exotic and helpful companions, as well as gain access to many new abilities for their pets.
Limitations
- You cannot have another pet active if you want to tame a new one. Stable any pet you have active before attempting to tame a new one.
- Interruptions will fail the attempt. This includes stuns, knock downs, and silence, but does not include the daze effect.
- You can only tame beasts your level and lower.
- Some beasts cannot be tamed. Only creatures in the bat, bear, boar, carrion bird, cat, crocolisk, dragonhawk, gorilla, hyena, nether ray, owl, raptor, ravager, scorpid, serpent, spider, spore bat, tallstrider, turtle, warp stalker, wind serpent, and wolf families can be tamed. Even then, some beasts belonging to these families cannot be tamed. To ensure the beast you want to tame is tamable, you may want to cast [Beast Lore] on it for more information.
Taming Tips
Taming a beast can be made easier with some preparation. Some of the beasts you encounter have special attacks which will cause your attempt to tame them to fail.
- Put down a [Freezing Trap] between you and your target. This will add up to 20 seconds of uninterrupted time for taming.
- Get your target's attention with a [Concussive Shot] from the maximum range of the Tame Beast ability, then immediately activate Tame Beast.
- Activate [Aspect of the Monkey] to take fewer hits from the beast while you channel.
- Have a mage friend sheep the beast and you can then tame it.
- Have a druid friend [Hibernate] it.
