Taming LBRS Worgs

Has anyone else tried taming one of the Scarshield Worg or Bloodaxe Worgs in LBRS?

Both times when I’ve tried to tame them, I had aggro on the worgs and got a full channel off, but the neither of the Worgs got tamed… I had a mage sheep one but it wouldn’t start taming because I didnt have aggro… So the next pull I used distracting shot so I had the aggro, no one else was attacking it, the channel went off and the taming was complete but it didnt tame…

The Bloodaxe Worg is the only wolf with rank 8 bite and furious howl 4… so I kinda need to get one but im having trouble taming one… Has anyone else successfully tamed one?

I’m interested in the answer to this as well.

I did in vanilla. here’s my pro tip. lay a frost trap down before you start taming. you can still tame while its an ice cube. this gives you maybe 5 seconds or so of taming with no pushback.

Let me give you a pro tip, insert day 1 hunter tip.

worked fine for all our guildies, we took all our hunters through to snag one
remember that you have to have threat on it, not the tank

There can be no interference whatsoever.

As others said, throw down an ice trap for a few free seconds of channeling. Make sure there are no HOT’s or heals on you, and it will tame fine.

I did a LBRS with my roommate two days ago on my hunter alt and we both were able to tame a worg with no issues. As others have mentioned just make sure there is no other threat on it and you should be fine.

I did all those things… The channeling actually finished, twice, but did not tame…

I guess I’ll go back at 60 and try it solo…

There could easily be a bug here but it is a tough tame, when I did it way back when it failed several times. Sometimes because someone tossed a heal on me and even if I had agro the entire time, it failed. It only worked on the last time when I used all my tricks and the whole entire party did absolutely nothing, zero movement zero heals.

I of course used concussive and freezing trap but I think the thing that helped was distracting shot, that put the threat right over the top. It’s tough though, thing hits like a truck, had monkey aspect on, it was close.

edit: I don’t remember that content being solo-able at all.

Did not have a problem.

I layed a trap down. Distracting shot off tank from pull. Conq shot. Begin Tame. Runs into trap & gg

Dumb question, but the worg wasn’t higher-level than you are, was it?

I have one. Took a number of attempts. Lots of chaos can happen. Freeze trap, distracting shot and start the tame. Hope that a summoner doesn’t summon you in mid-tame (happened…my guild laughed hard), resists freeze trap or fails the tame. Took going through 5 wolves for me. I named him “Struggle”.

thats pretty much what I was doing…

there are videos of people doing it on youtube… one was keyboard turning clicker in vanilla, so it cant be that hard…

This isn’t a dumb question at all…

Basically you have to tell the group how to do it and hope they are nice enough to accommodate (haven’t found one yet…it’s all gogogo).

Basically you go to a safe corner away from group. Tell group you will mark the one you wish to tame. Remind group to do no healing on you, hots, anything and to not damage marked wolf. Place your trap down in designated corner. You do the initial pull, then the tank will pull the pack off you toward opposite corner midway as they are charging. At the same time, you put a distracting shot on wolf and guide it towards trap if not lined up. Then concussive shot, and begin tame. It’s very fast, but marked wolf will be pulled away from main group towards you.

As stated, the most common mistake is that the healer will heal you in the middle of taming. If everyone is on board it’s not too hard but it could take a couple pulls to get it right.

Thankfully my guild let me grab a tame during one of our runs.

Now if only they’d stop calling it a wolf…

I was in a run a couple days ago where a hunter tried trapping and taming, but then lost aggro when the healer healed some peeps.

I just sheeped the wolf till the fight was over, then he broke the sheep and while it was hitting him I sheeped it again. He started taming it after the sheep went off, or maybe a moment before it did. Either way, he tamed it and the sheep broke the moment it was tamed.

We had a hunter do it mid pull after cleaving it down to, like, 5% HP. It was pretty funny. His previous vulture died in the previous pull and abandoned him, so this was his last chance to finish the run with a pet anyway. xD

He was quite lucky, but we all backed off and he was successful.

You can do this solo of you want to remove variables, did it in mostly greens and a few BoE blues. You’ll probably want/need to be 60 though for the final trap rank and smaller aggro radius on other trash.

Trap the raider and use a trash pet to kill the first worg and fd. Abandon the pet, trap the raider again, scare beast the worg and tame. Usually it’ll path into a corner and get stuck. If it pulls adds, just FD, reset, and try again. Eventually you’ll get favorable fear pathing.

There’s a video on youtube that shows the strat pretty well on how to get there and tame.
