Why do Warriors have to interfere?Follow

Hunters are often being called Huntards because of things that happen in instances, yet in the outside world of Wow, a lot of warriors are interfering with peoples kills. Was in Wetlands, I have the Ghost Saber from the cat figurines in Darkshore, got him at level 28 so have been leveling him up, cat has claw 3, bite 3, see a croc while questing has bite 4. After quest, stable cat and go back out to tame croc, pass a 26 warrior on my way. I got to a croc and start taming, I'm level 30 and croc is 26 so don't worry about freeze trap, halfway through taming warrior arrives and hits croc, then realizes I'm taming, try again, not enough mana. Warrior meanwhile has aggroed another croc, wouldn't have aggroed if I was the only one there. I now have to kiill 2 crocs, after they are dead, warrior instead of apologizing for hitting the first croc says to me, you should have used freezing trap and runs off.

Just a little side note, I don't interfere with people when they are killing something unless I see things going bad for them. Often I will stand nearby and watch their health, if it is getting lower then what they are killling, then I will let go with an arcane shot, or if they get an add I will help kill the first so they can go onto the second. Warriors on the other hand always seem to have to run past and hit what ever you are killing on the way.

It's even worse when you're in an instance, and you tell you're groupies to just let you tame this boss so you don't have to fight him, because he's worthless anyway, and they break the trap and wont stop beating on him, getting you killed.

I'm pretty sure you guys know what im talking about.

Hmmm, except, said boss drops only one blue item, that gives absolutely nothing for any class that can actually wear said item, and the "huntard" clearly states, "lets just skip this one, i'll tame him and we can just be on our way", and then the whole group agrees, and yet attacks anyway,breaking the trap, and the taming process, causing the hunter to die, which leads to a wipe because of a mage gaining too much agro, running away, agroing lots of naga, dying, and taking the group with him.

Yeah, it's not like that chest piece would be good for tanks or anything.

It may offer no stats but has a superior amount of armor.

I had a toon wearing that armor piece for quite a while. Taming him nets you a tamed turtle. You can get the same pet specs by taming one of his minions. No need to tame Gamoora.

If the hunter wants to tame a boss they need to let the group know ahead of time. As long as it's okay with everyone in the group then it's not a big deal.

this wasn't about the hunte wanting to tame the boss to have as a pet, it was about the hunter wanting to skip it.

I have read this thread three times now to figure out what you are talking about. The OP is talking about taming a completely random world mob, I assume in Wetlands. Then Fangtard started moaning about a party ruining his tame of Ghamoora, which was entirely justified unless all agree they... oooh.

Ooooh! Theeeere I got it... Taming a boss just to skip him? What the hell? If absolutely nothing else, a boss yields sellable loot, which will help offset any repairbills. Now there's suddenly two reasons to beat FangXLR with the Bad Huntard Bat.

My point still stands, since I merely replied to Sloshot's claim that taming Ghamoora and one of his minions were basically the same.

Edit: Caldone. Yeah, I know, but apparently that takes too long for most groups. Pah. A Hunter's plight, having to deal with smacktards with no appreciation of the Hunt.

After having had the interference problem once while trying to tame Humar (eventually got him though) I found a simple solution, which has worked nearly every time.

Whenever I get to the spot I am to tame the beast I want, if i see a character close to me or coming my way or anything, I always say, in /say, that I don't need help i'm taming the beast I have marked with hunters mark. I have had only one person mess this up because he was being a jerk, but it was a friend of mine who did it in an area where there were like 400 of what I wanted to tame so it was all in good fun. And it goes without saying that if you see the opposing factiona round you while you're taming you're gonna die so try to wait til after the guy is gone or dead before trying to tame.

<Sigh> Nobody actually READS what I write so I have no idea why I'm posting this...

Since when are WANT and NEED the same thing? I didn't say you couldn't, the inference was that with Pet Normalization there was nothing special about him and therefore it was the same as taming one of his minions. Thus, no NEED to tame him anymore.

I too tamed him once but we specifically went in with a couple of buddies to DO that, we didn't actually run the instance, he was easy to tame as his damage kinda sucks. This was before normalization so I wanted to see if he had any special powers. Now, I wouldn't even waste my time. So my pet can be named Gamoora? He looks like any other turtle... Now if he stayed huge and menacing then it might be worthwhile, IMO. ^_^

Huh? I have never gone on top of the platforms, you know there is a shortcut over on the left side right?

I laugh. The one area where Blizzard likes Horde better. Please cry a little. Your tears are so sweet. Also, the draenei couldn't spell 'drainei', or 'then'.
