I have been playing siege and as such I am waiting to get my gold trasnferred back over to GL so I can get a house and use my soulstones to get this guy how I want him... being a fairly confident chap I thought I would try and improve on the pets I had... turns out that when I rated my mare and beetle they only came in at 2.5 stars each.... yuck! As I had no real bond with them I decided to release them in the wild and let them suck there instead.....
I set them free and decided to head to the Ki-Rin passage... I made it there fine, I dodged all the elementals and proceded to destroy the acid elemental that had decided to get all hugged up with the Nightmare...
right, I am ready I think to myself.... I had a taming macro set up as follows... Use skill: Taming - Wait for target - last target.
I cast invis.... I use my pair of scissors to target the mare. Pop out of hiding and hit my macro! "you seem to anger the beast!" damn! invis!
Macro *press*
"you seem to anger the beast!" damn! invis!
Macro *press*
"you seem to anger the beast!" - An Lor Xen *the spell fizzles*
Nightmare: Explosion, Flamestrike, Poison, Energy Bolt - In Vas LAG - Melee, Melee, Melee.
ME: OOoOOOOOOOOooooOoo
What! this cant be happening! I am 120 modified taming/lore! I ran back to the moongate, got a rez at the shrine, equip my gear and go back for round two.
By this time the lag on GL had reached epic levels so I kind of knew I was doomed to fail but after several attempts with the same outcome I had to give it up as a bad job..
I am hoping that once I get my spellweaving stoned over I will not have any issues at all as I will use the monster ignore spell and just tame the heck out of it!
In terms or getting ready I would just like to add a few tips for new or returning tamers on what to perhaps carry with you.
I would have some form of mage wep.. for a so called "weaker pet" an untamed nightmare can hit like a tank! also... eat orange petals... I would have survived if not for poison
carry healing, cure and stamina potions! those spell combo's and melee attacks can leave you unable to run!
I am going to spend as much time as I can training my macro timing and my spells timing and will use the "lead taming guide" in the FAQ... if you havent read it yet... its a good place to start
In all honesty I dont think I would have had any trouble if I had just waited until my character was set up for the task... let this be a lesson to me and anyone else who doesn't have experience in taming!
We want these pets for a reason.... they pack a punch and can deal a good deal of damage in a short time...
The most important lesson I am taking away from this.... respect the creatures of Socaria and as for the Nightmare.... I had seriously underated this pet! I will be spending time getting as high a rated one as possible and I will love her!
