So, 4.2 brought some interesting taming challenges for hunters. What is your experiences so far?

I got the spectral cat in the Hijal daily area spawn right ontop of me, and ofc it one shotted myself and quite a number of other ignorant hunters. When I finally figured out I need to take of my clothes to tame it, someone have killed it. This was day one of 4.2
I also went on a mission to tame the new cat called Skarr on the first oppertunity to open the firelands portal, ofc I had to wait in line for a Orc hunter called Rambozoo (Guess he never got it as well because I saw him two days later there as well). Reminded me of the epic waits for new pets such we had in Vanila.
Two days later I went back to tame skar, and ran into a nice green spider called Kirix. Being first on the scene I died a few times taming it till my respawn timer let me wait 2 mins to ress. A few other hunters including Rambozoo also soon started taming the spider, but all died. When my respawn timer ran out I tried once more to tame it, and when the taming bar nearly completed, I died again... Went back and the spider was gone. I first thought the spider have been tamed/ killed as well. But then I noticed I had the spider in my pet summon bar :D

I then moved further towards Skarr, and enjoyed watching a number of hunters killing themselves trying to tame the new Skorpid.
At least the new patch have brought a few interesting challenges, and I really enjoy them. What have you done so far?
 
Hehe... yea I have been camping out for a loooong time now...

I almost had the spider tamed as well... It seems the Tol Barad trinket is your best friend there with aspect of the wild buff + potion of speed.

Skarr is a bit of a nightmare... at any given point in time there is like 4 / 5 hunters camping out there...

The crab was tamed by a fellow guildy of mine....

It is all about when you go to Skarr, I have seen the place empty at some times. But no idea when exactly it spawns, I have a feeling that it spawns at around noon each day. But it may be alternating between the scorpid and skarr. But there also seems to be 3 places where Skarr can actually spawn, looking at the piles of hunter bones on different places ;)
Guess you need to to be MM spec to tame Skarr or the Scorpid now? Silence shot
 
Apparantly he shares the respawn timer with the spider.... so if you get the spider, the cat wont spawn... or so they claim on the forums I follow.
Skarr, you either do in BM spec with ancient hysteria... or MM - silencing shot + deterrence.

I am using the MM + deterrence + potion of speed method. Well as soon as I see the bugger. Lately I am just farming firelands trash before they hotfix it.
 
Did they bring the quiver back yet?
Thankfully no! And I would guess they never will, with normalized repair costs over all classes, there is no need to charge hunters extra for arrows.
 
5 down 5 to go

got crab, green and red spiders and 2 spirit beasts
 
If you stand at Skarr's bottom spawn point you can use Eagle eye to look at most of the other's spawn points even inside the cave, if you hit it on the bottom left of the cave wall just inside the entrance, spider is inside the lava just where the lava pours from the roof on the far right.

There is a Dumbass orc taiming every rare he can find (even if he has them) just so that he will be the server's first to get all 10.

Cosmetic quiver. Additionally an arrow type would be nice to select too.
