Kommentar von Eurypelma

Degu ist ein zähmbares Elite-Wildtier an der Grenze des Tals der vier Winde und der Krasarangwildnis. Er patrouilliert genau unterhalb des Abhangs.

Obwohl es sich augenscheinlich um ein Stachelschwein handelt, wird Degu den Geisterbestien zugeordnet. Daher ist er nur von Tierherrschaftsjägern zähmbar. Er verfügt gezähmt über die typischen Geisterbestienfähigkeiten Geistheilung (Heilung eines verbündeten Ziels), Segen der Geisterbestie (Erhöhung der Meisterschaft für 1 Min.) und Geistwandeln (Verstohlenheit).

Bei Degu handelt es sich lediglich um ein Elite-Wildtier. Aus diesem Grund unterliegt er keinem Rare-Spawntimer und ist quasi immer anzutreffen.

Für seine Zähmung gibt es verschiedene Taktiken. Ich empfehle die folgende, mit der ich es, nach einigen Fehlversuch letztendlich ohne Hilfe anderer Spieler schaffen konnte.
Zu Beginn des Kampfes besitzt Degu den Buff Starker Wille, der seine Zähmung verhindert. Er muss zunächst auf ca. 20% Leben gebracht werden, bevor dieser Buff erlischt.
Degu muss stets mit erschütternder Schuss auf Distanz gehalten werden, da seine Nahkampfangriffe großen Schaden verursachen. Es ist unbedingt notwendig, diesen stets auf Cooldown zu halten. Der Jäger läuft dabei rückwärts und pullt Degu neben der Felswand entlang. Es gibt in diesem Bereich nur eine Katze, von der man angegriffen werden könnte. In diesem Fall solltet ihr euch nicht irritieren lassen und einfach weiter gehen (Möglicherweise Freudentaumel wirken). Anders als bei den Rare-Lavaspinnen in der Geschmolzenen Front darf der Abstand nicht zu weit ausgebaut werden, da Degu sonst schwerwiegende Fernkampfattacken auf den Angreifer wirkt. Es sollte also durchgängig ein mittlerer Abstand (ca. 5 Meter...) eingehalten werden. Da Degu ab und an kurz stoppt, benötigt man dafür etwas Konzentration. Fehler werden dabei meist nicht verziehen, sodass man die Prozedur von neuem beginnen muss.
Ist Degus Buff bei ca. 20% Gesundheit verschwunden, sollte Abschreckung aktiviert werden und schnellstmöglich die Zähmung beginnen. Die Dauer des Tier-Zähmen-Zaubers sollte unbedingt mit der entsprechenden Glyphe verkürzt sein. Ist bis zum Erreichen seiner 20% Gesundheit alles richtig gelaufen, so sollte man zu Beginn der Zähmung noch 90- 100% Gesundheit besitzen. Daher sollte die Zähmung abgeschlossen sein, bevor Degu seinen Angreifer töten kann.

First on Argent Dawn to get him. The space you have to have between you and him is VERY hard to get on point! Took me and a druid at least 10 tries!

First on Shandris to get him! 8:05PM server time. His mechanics are very finely tuned, keep an eye on his casting bar and his distance!

First Lightbringer tame, Laraus.

For those unsure where he spawns, he's just underneath the cliff edge that separates valley of the 4 winds and krasarang wilds. Literally, under the lip of the cliff. He pats back and forth around coords 50,78

Here is how we did it:
A party of 3. Myself, another hunter, and a priest. You have to stay within FIFTEEN yards of him at ALL times when you have agro. concussive shot/freezing trap, no other cc works. Basically walk backwards, trap/concussive shot, and I lightly dps. I say lightly because I cant afford to miss any concussive shots. If you losew ground with him, you can't regain it (don't disengage). The other hunter was behind him and shooting him in the back. If she pulled agro, I would distracting shot. If you get within 5 yards of him, he melee hits you for 170k health. So he 2 shots. The priest would top me off if I got hit once.

Hunter behind me blows all cooldowns after misdirecting to me. I concussive and trap spam. Priest heals whoever got hit once. When he drops to 20% health, the debuff on him drops. Priest heals me to full, I stand at FIFTEEN yards and DETERENCE. Immediately click tame after the priest tops you off, you should survive a few melee hits and get the tame.

Screenshot included. Yes, the string of corpses along the entire pat route are mine. -.- He can be done solo, but a range finder add on is REQUIRED. Under 5 yards, he 2 shots your face. You go 16 yards away, same thing. 6-15 yards is your money maker. Good luck.

Degu spawns below the extended portion at the south of Valley of the Four Winds.
No group needed for the tame, just follow a couple of simple steps.

Highly recommended glyph/skills:
Glyph of Tame Beast (Glyph)
Aspect of the Cheetah/Pack (Skill)

No interrupts required.
Prioritize your casts/shots as follows:

Back-paddle AT ALL TIMES

Keep concussive shot up, this is priority.
Use whatever damage skills you desire (while continuously back-paddling).
At about 33% of the beast's remaining health, prepare yourself for the tame.
Once the beast has below 29% health, cast Deterrence and immediately Tame Beast.
If appropriately timed, you should take no damage and have the pet tamed.

This is not the only way to tame the beast but I felt comfortable with and should share with the rest of the hunter community. I hope this helps others. All the best, hunters.

Vâgue @ Nagrand-US.

Kommentar von Jehcky

When I try to deal damage, I get 2 shot on the face... any advice? Btw, found him around 53,77 he patrols a large brown path, under the cliff.

Kommentar von Euphyley

Because there's no map of where to find Degu up yet: Map here, about half way down the post

Kommentar von Bralgar

Alrighty, here's my tips for catching Degu, I did it myself, and so can you!

Dismiss your pet, you're going in alone for this one, I know it's gonna be annoying, but believe me, it helps, and with how fast this little guy is, timing is everything, and Dismiss Pet is kinda lengthy in it's cast time. This way if you're not so good at timing, it's 1 less thing to worry about.

Fly along the line he patrols under the lip of the cliff that borders KW and VotFW, there is, usually, a single tiger in stealth that will be in your path, find it, and kill it. Afterwards, let Degu pat to one end of the path, then go after him, you should have the entire length to strafe without incident.

Keep close to the wall, sauroks are out there by the bottom. Run sideways, this way you can hit Degu, but at the same time have your full runspeed, this way, if you see him begin to cast his Needle ability, you can close the gap between you to interrupt it, or you can outdistance him should you mess up the timing on a Concussive Shot, or a portion of the wall need getting around.

Turn off Trap Launcher and line up Explosive Trap, Viper Trap, and Ice Trap on a hotbar. While running away in a straight line, this allows you to simply push them to lay them, and I guarantee Degu will pass over them, without having to worry about placement via targeting circle.

The rhythm is a bit tricky to get down if it's your first time, but the deaths are worth it to figure it out.

The talents you'll want

Thrill of the Hunt: With no pet, Arcane Shot will be your main source of damage, this will help keep your focus up. Not to mention, with Concussive Shot needing to be applied every time before it falls off, being in the middle of casting Cobra Shot to get focus back is a bit of a hazard.

A Murder of Crows: With no pet out, Blinkstrikes and Lynx Rush are useless, and this provides a little bit of nice damage.

(Ability Useable Once More) Binding Shot: This is probably the most important talent you'll need. Degu is not immune to this spell, and if you combine the tether with the stun, kiting and taming Degu will become that much easier to the point where a well placed shot will mean he can't even touch you.

Exhilaration: If Degu manages to get in a shot on you, this talent can provide you with a bit of a heal, odds are if Degu manages to hit you though, you'll want to Deterrence and Disengage, or even Feign Death and begin all over again, since 2 hits will probably mean lights out for you, and the Daze from Aspect of the Cheetah means you'll be going nowhere fast.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Chimera: The two spells this talent reduces the cd on, Deterrence and Disengage will help you survive, if the worst case scenario happens.

Glyphs you'll need or might want: Tame Beast, Pathfinding, and perhaps Ice Trap.

When taming, I advise to place an Ice Trap, concussive shot Degu, then pop Deterrence and begin taming immediately afterwards.

That's all I got for ya guys, good luck my fellow hunters!

Kommentar von 1104718

Be aware Hunters, that if you are further than about 10-15ish yards away from Degu he'll throw a quill at you that does about 150k damage. He casts it regularly until you're back in the 10-15 yard range. This is similar to the mechanic with the Horde Troll rare at Domination point.

I tamed him by slowly kiting him with concussive shot along the ridge where he walks. I had my pet out as well which made it easy to burn him down quick, once he hit 19%, intimidation stun-->dismiss pet, then deterrence with the Glyph of Taming and he's yours!

Good Luck!

Kommentar von 1104858

It has been said that you need the ability to kite, and you do not. I can't kite to save my life. I can backpedal or run forward, and you can solo this spirit beast doing just that. What I used for talents:
Impromptu, Bindender Schuss, Freudentaumel, Alphatier, , and . What I used for glyphs: Ausgebrannte Glyphe, Ausgebrannte Glyphe, and Ausgebrannte Glyphe. Main thing here is to keep Aspect of the Cheetah and Concussive shot up at all times. Use Ice trap and Binding shot as they became available. Using this I just attacked Degu with all I had and made sure to stay just close enough I wouldn't be targeted with his ranged attack. Taking just a couple Arcane shots and Glaive tosses when I could safely do so. Dire Beast and A Murder of Crows helped out a lot since I didn't have a pet out of course. Using this method, I solo tamed this beast without kiting, and you can too. As far as which path to take, stay against the wall. Good luck everyone!

Even though the map says he is in the VotFW, he is in KW under a cliff. But the zone is still named VotFW because the cliff has a diagonal shape.

Kommentar von crescentmoon2967

This is what I did to tame Degu if you're having trouble: Use concussive shot as often as possible, but never use disengage. To be sure you don't die, I gathered some healing potions to use as I attacked in case I got hit with something. It took quite a few tries, but I was able to solo this tame. Be sure to be not too far from him, or he will cast his ranged attack. If he starts to cast, run closer to him as fast as possible, but not too close or you'll get mauled. Slow him and daze him as much as you possibly can so that he doesn't reach you, because he's really fast when not dazed. Use your ice trap when you can to help the slowing too, and also use snake trap, murder of crows, dire beast, stampede, etc. to get some extra damage on him to make up for not having a pet. When you finally get to the point to tame him, if you have really low health, chances are you won't get it. Glyph of Tame Beast is really useful in this situation, I would recommend it. (: Use deterrence immediately and then start to tame him right away. The reason you need more health to do this, is at the last second, it may wear off as it did for me, and I got killed right as my tame was almost finished, so, if you don't have a potion to pop before you start the taming process, be sure to at least have a good amount of health. I hope this helped, good luck with taming! (:

Kommentar von ns88

I tamed it tonight with the help of a dk and a mage friend. If you do this with the help of others, know that you need to be the one who have the aggro in order to cast tame beast, otherwise it will cancel the cast after 1 sec.

The way i did it was by letting the dk die :) and the mage iceblock.

Kommentar von Kemaria

As of patch 5.2, there are three new spirit beasts that look like porcupines which hunters may tame. All three have extremely short spawn timers (for example, I have seen Hutia tamed and up again ten minutes later). This means that they are usually present - their challenge isn't in the find but in the tame. The hunter must keep out of close range, interrupt any applicable spellcasting, and wear their health down until the buff that prevents taming, Strong Will, disappears.

Name	Color	Zone	Location	Spell to Interrupt
Hutia	Green	The Jade Forest	Just north of Greenstone Village	Geistheilung
Degu	Red	Krasarang Wilds	Pats between Crane Wing Refuge & Thunder Cleft	Gezackter Stachel
Gumi	Blue	Kun-Lai Summit	Northwest of One Keg	N/A (just moves faster)

Kommentar von MikadoGG

If you want to skip the challenge portion of this tame, you can use a tank friend. My boyfriend has a protection paladin (around 485 ilvl). He tanked Degu and did a bit of self-healing while I burned him down. Around 1 million hp he stopped healing and let Degu kill him. All the time I stayed within 10-15 yards of Degu so when my boyfriend died he wouldn't start casting quills at me. Then a simple rapid fire+deterrence+glyphed tame beast macro and he was mine. This strategy failed once because just as my tame was about to go off the first time a hunter from a group that was trying to tame him before but died (they had two hunters and a rogue) decided to distracting shot. People can be very lame.

Kommentar von BMHunterDelaini

Redoing since I tamed him on my alt hunter as well!

The best advice I can give is to keep at it - and to try and begin the process when he is on either end of his trail, this way you won't have to worry about turning him around if you reach the end of his trail (otherwise you'll end up in a lake or off of the rocky path)

You can solo him pretty easily. Using concussive shot and traps to keep him slowed down just enough to stay one step ahead of him. He hits really harder than Gumi or Hutia so be mindful and getting too far away from him will activate his quill attack which will 2-3 shot you as well (Although if you run in close to him while he's casting it - he will stop casting).

To down him faster you can bring a friend - although from what I have observed he will randomly hit anyone whose attacking him with the quill attack if they are too far away. (I saw a group of about 5 people trying to down him quickly, however because 4 of the 5 of them were out of his dead zone he would constantly hit them with his attack and they died rather quickly.)

Also I did not use Aspect of the cheetah while doing this - I did some serious backpeddling so it wouldn't have mattered anyway (I found that this was the best pace to keep up with Degu in his deadzone)

Kommentar von ooblushy88oo

:)

I followed deanomatic's advice listed below and after five tries, I am now the proud owner of Degu's cute little butt. It was a fun tame, my first THREE tries failed because I was either too close or too far so it resulted instant death for me.

Then on my fourth attempt, I used my pet from the start to help with DPS and she died and I kept going and when I hit 20%, I popped Deterrance and went to "tame" but silly me! Because my pet had died, I had no time to rez her/dismiss so it was not possible to tame Degu as it said "An active pet is already summoned".

:(

BUT on my fifth try, I finally managed to get it just right and thankfully tamed with no issue.

My advice:

- Don't use a pet at all!
- Keep Concussive Shot up nonstop

Talents:

- Thrill of the Hunt
- Murder of Crows
- Binding Shot

Glyphs:

- Glyph of Aspect of the Cheetah (was helpful since I was paranoid if I was too close or too far)
- Glyph of Tame Beast

Tips?

Back paddle like your life depended on it! Use your traps and lastly, KEEP trying. You will get him. ^___^

Kommentar von 1112846

One thing don't try to do when it comes to taming him, don't try and run in circles around one of the rocks tested to see if that would work since the range is short, actually walked through the rocks on my part and smacked me so yea don't even try that he's a tough tame but thats why they're taming challenges after all

Edit: ALWAYS have concussive shot and traps down when you can and turn trap launcher off so that way you don't have to worry about the placement, if you don't have concussive shot on him or atleast a frost trap he's pretty quick so he'll be in your face and you'll be face down, also don't actually use aspect of the cheetah it tends to put you out of the range much easier than with out and back peddle like crazy, he was fun took me awhile but just go in a straight line, and beware of those tigers, they're very mean and tend to get into your way as well

Kommentar von 1057903

Amazing pet, tamed him right before I died..

Kommentar von Ballybog

I decided to run a little test. I took out the Vile Fumigator's Mask sitting around in my bank and brought it along for the tame, and it worked. It gave me all the time I needed and then some to make the tame. Didn't need deterrence. The mask gives you a solid 30 seconds to make it happen, and as for the lack of armor and stats due to wearing it, remember that with better gear he can still kill you quickly anyways.

Kommentar von Sarantha

I did this with a warlock friend and it still took 3 tries, mostly because the warlock wouldn't Soulshatter /die at the right time and we would somehow end up both dying.

Anyway, the SUCCESSFUL tame started with us both blowing all cooldowns and just nuking him down while he was stuck in place with concussive shot, binding shot, and stampede to keep his attention in one location, preventing the lock from having to run while casting his big nukes. After stampede wore off, the voidhunter pet took aggro, the lock sacrificed him at the last minute for whatever that lock 'bubble' is, took aggro himself while I continued nuking him with rapidfire, Murder of Crows, and the orc racial up. By the time the warlock died, Degu was at tamable health.

This all took about 20 seconds since we were both blowing him up without kiting. I was standing very close for some reason (my misjudgment) but I cast deterrence and tame at the same time and got him. He only managed to hit me once because deterrence wore off. I am now the proud owner of this adorable little red porcupine. Submitted a screenshot of my female orc hunter with Degu. They look adorable together.

Kommentar von Clixoverride

Hey just got my Degu tonight! First want to thank Gaelinda and Netherborn for the assistance! You two rock!

OK. First get your friends to help its FAR easier this way. Start out Lay these traps Snakes, fire, frost NOT Freezing. Have who is tanking walk them over that, Start shooting everything you got while your friends help DPS and heal. Lay down Binding shot as often as possible.

Rinse and repeat until you get Degu down to 20% or less. Then Every one stop hitting .. Hunter take a speed potion and TAME! thats it go go go! Enjoy!

Took us several tries to get this down to the above. Also STAY WITHIN 15 YARDS so his Ranged attack will not trigger, stay within 10 is best!

Beast Master Hunter! OOrah!

Kommentar von demigh

Yesterday I tamed two of them, each with the help of a tank (two different tanks). Honestly with PVE I am not that good. I tried kiting and following the advice here. Didn't work. On the first I eventually and accidentally found myself standing and delivering like a tank, my helper tank died and I got him. On the second I decided just to act like a tank and it took two tries (and in the second my helper tank again died) and got him. The advantage of standing in close is he does not have the damage abilities that he has at a distance. SO for the moderate or less skilled I suggest getting a friendly tank (with a suicide knife would be easiest), getting up close and personal and be ready to tame the moment he gets around 15% health less. In the spirit of full disclosure, the hunters have ilvls of 508 and 504 respectively and if I had had less I am not sure I would have survived the tame attempt using the cheap and dirty method.

Kommentar von 995411

Tip: Do not go into Barbed Needle range before using Deterrence+Tame. I thought this would buy me some time since Barbed Needle cast speed is longer than his melee attack speed. But it gets through Deterrence, even with Mirrored Blades glyph. Didn't kill me though, but it was close.

Dismiss your pet. Walk backwards, keep concussive shot up at all times, don't get to far away from him, at 29% use Deterrence and Tame Beast (I'd recommend having it glyphed, but if you're taming Spirit Beasts it's pretty safe to assume you do have it glyphed).

Enjoy your new pet.

Kommentar von SpectraKitty

can't tame him. It's a GLITCH

Kommentar von Paddyjack

Just to make a few additional observations and suggestions:

After many failed attempts using a pet, or not pet, I finally opted for having a pet for the following reasons:

1) A pet is more forgiving of mistakes because with Exhilaration specced, you twice have a full heal capability in addition to a healing potion. To me this is important because if you are not full health at the end chances are that you won't sustain the damage during the taming.

2) I used a shale spider exotic because of its web snaring capability. This provides an extra chance of not screwing up the concussion shot :)

3) Now the downside is obviously to dismiss the pet when you reach 30%. Well, to do that I remapped my keys one beside the other with Intimidation; Dismiss Pet ; Deterrence; Tame Beast. This way, I when I got to 30% I hit concussion shot then hit the keys in order without thinking (and believe me at the end of this you don't want to hit the wrong key). If you time it right, between the Concussion shot/Web snaring from the spider and Intimidation you have time to dismiss the pet. This, I did it on the first try, compared to the dozen attempts to bring the pet to 30%.... An ice trap would have helped but I forgot :)

4) I used the addon Range Display to keep Degu between 8-15 yards at all time.

5) And like it is said above, you can't do this without the glyph of taming beast, unless you can stand to be hit for additional 100Ks...

I was iLevel 463, so not great gear.

Finally, this was challenging, but in a way it reminded me of the epic hunter quest demons back in vanilla, where you have to remap your keys and think strategy in a kiting match. I wish Blizz provides us with other pets like that in the future.

Kommentar von Racthoh

if you guys are having trouble with the backpedaling method. just strafe it's so much easier. just weave in and out of his barbed missile range with rhythm and he will never touch you.

strafing also has the added benefit of not getting insta gibbed if you fail at concussive shot from time to time. (or miss/dodge in my case)

i spent a long time trying to tame this beast. i was leveling my alt hunter and just decided to give it a go. towards the end, i got him within tameable range 3 times in a row before another hunter came by and casually let me know why my deter/tame macro wasn't working.

i was level 86.

doesn't change the fact that i still learned the best way tame him.

-use pet.
-blow him up. (degu)
- use macro:
#showtooltip
/cast intimidation
/cast dismiss pet
-use macro:
#showtooltip
/cast deterrence
/cast tame beast

Kommentar von valaraukarsbane

The easiest way to do this that I could find (which might already be mentioned here) is to get a friend with a healer to come along and heal you while you do this. That makes it possible to screw up a bit without losing the tame. Of course, some people find the whole point in taming this guy to be in trying to do the challenge alone, but I just wanted him (her?) for the cool look.

Do make sure to have your tame beast glyphed anyway.

Kommentar von 1131431

Really tricky tame if you get the timing wrong but with practise it just takes a lot of time to damage enough. I tried all 3 spirit hedgehogs and found this one the simplest (Hutia's heals were annoying to have to keep an eye on and Gumi's terrain was a nightmare.) A healer tried to help me for a while but I ended up doing it solo because he was getting ranged hits. As others have said stay within the no attack zone and keep up concussive shot.
I rearranged my action bar for the tame which is essential. Make sure you wait for Degu to be right at one of the ends and kill the hidden tiger (this is vital!)
You can get hit two or three times (assuming by level 90 you have about 300K health at least) but it can be difficult to get the right distance again after being hit. Leave your armour on, gives you enough health to make mistakes. If you meet the tiger or get hit twice I'd suggest feigning death because the graveyards are a very long way away and it'll save the durability on your armour.
I used arcane shot and serpent sting as my damages and Dire beast whenever the cooldown on it was up. I would strongly suggest the Dire Beast talent because I think it made Degu stop more often so I had more thinking time.
Make sure you cast tame beast immediately after deterrence because I died once when tame beast was about 99% done.
Good luck.

Kommentar von heliconius

just brought in a healer buddy ^^

Kommentar von 1147180

Alright....This is the easiest pet tame, it did take 4 tries to get timing right though.

I'll I did was concussive shot and stay at a safe distance WHILE walking backwards. ( When you see him stop you stop or you will get to far and lose health that you'll need later) I blew blinding shot, stampede, Glaive any high dps you have speced into if right off the bat. If you have decent gear should get him near half way. Then Concussive shot the heck out of him every time its up while going backwards. I didn't do any special glyphs.

For taming I just Concussive shot, Binding shot him and began taming, I was at full health and still at the safe distance away from him, think he hit me twice but I got him an was to happy to care how many times he smacked me. The reduced tame Glyph might help those if they don't think they can live though 2 hits.

I hope this is helpful then having to do a crap load of changes in talents and glyphs. I didn't want to so I tried something else which I'm sure others have done this too.

OH and as you walk backward doing all this down his path line there is this stupid stealthily tiger that got me while i was taming him the 3rd time and messed everything up. SCOUT HIM OUT AND KILL HIM 1ST. UGH!

Kommentar von 1148618

For an easy tame just get a healer to help you.
Still kite him and slow him, burn him down, in the event you get to close or far the healer will be able to keep you alive easily.
When his buff drops off hit deterrence and tame beast.
I also made sure I had glyph of tame beast and deterrence just to be on the safe side.

Kommentar von mudplayerx

Just keep concussive shot up and backpeddle. When he starts casting, walk forward until he stops. When kill shot becomes available, click deterrence and then tame beast while it's active. Make sure you have tame beast glyph up.

Kommentar von borcar

This was one tough tame but finally got it thanks to comments here. I was first attempting with cheetah but since i cannot kite worth crap i went back to aspect of hawk and installed rangefinder addon. This was enough along with a planned straight stretch to burn him down and then tame him.

Like everyone else i basically backpedalled the whole way constantly spamming concussive shot and popping murder of crows, dire beast, and stampede near beginning. Hit deterrence and tame beast as soon as i saw the buff disappear on his bar.

This took me at least 10 tries, 4 before i read the tips here.

Good luck!

Kommentar von geekygirlish

Went with my hunter friend to get this fellow after we did the green one, Hutia. I am a hunter too and we thought two concussives, two int, traps, we would be good.

I don't know if Blizz nerfed this, but he just walked right over our frost traps and never triggered them. So if they worked for you, great, but we couldn't slow him down with a frost trap.

After many ridiculous long runs from that stupidly placed gy, we gave up. He's going back with our frost mage friend, maybe that will work better!

Kommentar von Sustainna

Just got him today on my 474iLv BM hunter. The gun was only iLv450 so it took a tad longer. I did what everyone else does. Concussion Shot > Deterrence > Tame
Good thing to point out is that unless you absolutely are a beast with haste stats you WILL get hit once while taming. thats why it is important to use the Exhilleration talent for one final burst of healing before the tame to ensure its success.

Kommentar von Kevinem

Taming was super easy

if u need a very fast tame follow these steps

1.Aspect of the Iron Hawk ON ( for more damage )

2.DO NOT run normally

3.you HAVE to run BACKWARD ( i mean be face to him and press "S" button )

so run backward and cast your spells with mouse so you will be sure that u cast spell in right time

4. fix your distance

5. Start walking backward slowly but be careful

and start with this ROTATION and you will get her in 20-25 seconds

*Concussive Shot

* Serpent Sting
* A Murder of Crows

those porcupines are pretty easy to tame if you have a friend who is willing to die on it.
just let your friend dps it down and when it is redy your friend should just die so you can do the tame.
very very easy to do.

Kommentar von phantomdred

Just a quick note, while taming USE BINDING SHOT! You won't get hit once if you stay far enough away and start before he hits it.

Kommentar von Sezy

Tamed after the patch 5.4.7 as ilvl 535 hunter. Real easy actually!

Most important to keep calm. dismiss pet, keep concusive shot up at all times, everything else i used was arcane shot and serpent sting, thats it. mainly just ran from him with cheetah on, dont get too far ahead of him or he does his vicious ranged attack!

Got it on the second try, first try i died because i figured id stay on max range ;-)

for those of you that say u tamed solo (RIGHT) you r full of it there is a 2% chance that you can tame it solo! but good luck for all of you who made post aren't NO WAY CLOSE TO WHAT YOU SAY IN POST, so please be kind and make it right cause a lot of you are just BRAGGERS nothing more

Kommentar von husobaba1903

Here's how i tamed it solo without my pet:
-When you're ready,pop Agility potion and use Ice Trap a few yards in front of him to take full advantage of trap.If you use your trap just on Degu,slow time will be shorter.
-Pop your cooldown except Stampede,spam Arcane Shot and damage until Strong Will is off and kite with Glaive Toss and Concussive Shot.
-When the buff is removed,pop Binding Shot and run a few yards to get it stunned.Use the stun time and tame the beast.

Kommentar von chogi

I had tried to tame him over and over and i finally but i got him with the help of a death knight the strategy is to have the death knight tank him the death knight can heal himself have the death knight cast his freezing attack and when you see him casting it shoot distracting shot once frozen tame him and thats it it may take a few try but you can do it

your friendly hunter chogi from trollbane

Kommentar von Ronijin

Not worth the aggravation IMO...

Kommentar von 1211845

It's worth saying...

YOU HAVE TO BE A BEAST MASTERY HUNTER FOR THIS PET.

In my excitement, i didn't use beast lore, only for it to say, "You cannot tame this pet"

Don't make the same mistakes I did. Lol... :'(

Kommentar von Deedman

Was doing the quest The Quest for Better Barley on my paladin which requires you to drop down from valley of four winds into the cave below when I stumbled on Degu, so I immediately logged my hunter and ran to the spot, to which he was further up his path left and right of the cave.

Switched to Beast Mastery spec (important, it's the only way to tame spirit beasts!) and let rip on backpeddling while using Concussive Shot, keeping up Serpent Sting with Cobra Shot and using Glaive Toss for extra damage and snare, spamming Arcane Shot for damage. I am ilvl470ish, so we're talking a few timeless pieces and quest greens/dungeon blues but the fight was incredibly easy (I've done my fair share of hunter rare tames over the years) compared to say the Molten Front pets. Once you see your Kill Shot alert come up it's time to tame.

Check my screenshot upoaded soon for an idea of the best distance, perhaps go a little closer than me as he managed to attempt to cast Barbed Needle 3 times, but I moved in closer for it to cancel. Only issues ran into were reaching the end of his path with him to the right so I had to use a charge of Deterrence and Disengage to change direction.

Pop Deterrence again for the tame, he hit me once after it fell off before the tame for roughly 50% of my HP, so 2 hits would probably be fatal for me, 3 probably for anyone. Good luck taming!

Kommentar von Catt09tails55

To tame degu you should have a tank and healer. Every one has to stand next to him. The hunter uses deturance and stun only. When he is down to 30 percent the tank stops tanking and the hunter can tame him. He is not hard when you know how to do it. However I can't seem to get his hit points up. I have this problem on all my pets so I must be missing something. I have seen him with a hunter with almost 4k hit points.

Kommentar von Underpantss

First tried to tame it with the help of a friend's fire Mage, didn't really worked out so he logged over to his resto Druid and everything went fine. I back paddled slowly while dazing him and using arcane shot and everything went great. But, when it was ready to be tamed I used deterrence and used tame beast but my tame beast was being interrupted. This was really weird but I figured it could be because of the healing.. So, if you want to tame it make sure you don't get any heals near the end when he is tamable.

Oh yeah, check out my screenshot. I called him Ziggy :)

Kommentar von TheUnholyBread

handy simple macro i used for kiting him backwards just spammed this and hitting cooldowns when they came up to get him down with no pet while back pedaling.

/castsequence reset=6 Concussive Shot, Cobra Shot, Arcane Shot

Mark him, hit him with serpant sting spam macro, the reset set to six so it will reset 1 second after concussive shot is cooled down, so no matter what you just did you will always hit him with it (for the most part)

Athorian @ Silver Hand

Kommentar von Blackbolt22

Tamed @ level 100! His barbed needle almost 2 shot me at 92.5k damage each!
I also nearly failed at this because of that and the fact that my pet was doing heavy damage to him. I dismissed pet but he got to 10k health so I put pet on passive then Degu came at me, got stunned by my already placed binding shot, and I tamed him with about 36k life (went to like 7k from his damage!)

Like the other said, be careful of this. Even at 100 you can be 2 shotted! Stay just out of melee range!

Kommentar von Tiechdair

Okay, took 3 tries, but was able to solo tame quite easy.
Don't bother attacking, just have a pet auto attack, but make sure you are standing close enough to not be hit by the barb attack. Once Degu is low enough health, dismiss pet, hit Deterrence, and tame. No fuss.

Oh ya, lvl 100, ilvl 636, and had a Spirit Crab do that tanking on Tenacious

Kommentar von Okonomiyaki

lvl100 BM Hunter, ilvl626

I think reading these comments made taming Degu worse. LOL
Died twice trying to run backwards & stay out of his melee range as some said to do. Having a pet attack him just got me killed as well. So, do NOT do any of that. His ranged attacks will kill you in 3 hits.

Place your binding shot on him & basically stand DIRECTLY on top of him. He will do minimal damage to you if you are on him. Then do concussive shot & whatever else you feel like doing. I'd suggest avoiding Murder of Crows, because mine just slaughtered him in seconds & I had to wait for a respawn. He is totally immune to the Freezing Trap, so don't bother wasting your time.

Get him down to about 20K & tame. I did not even use Deterrence. He did maybe 60K damage to me over entire fight & did zero damage at all during the actual tame. Just make sure you stand on top of him the entire time! Easy once you do that.

Kommentar von 1090752

went there. used a barrage and some other shots while standing on him. tamed him and left again. no fuzz at all. lvl 100 bm hunter

Kommentar von selkie47

For those not 100 yet and hit akin to a wet noodle (aka me at 95) be wary of the spots you can't kite thru. Like walls and rocks. 9_9

Stay somewhat close unless you want to eat porcupine needles, find a good spot to kite and away from places that you can get pinned in by. Like walls and rocks. ::sigh::

Kommentar von 1120097

Bm hunter level 94. I read and tried to duplicate many of these methods. Quickly realized after one accidental kill, a death, and two feign deaths that I needed to rethink my options. Mostly I'm sure they work but I just possess different skills/lack these ones listed here. Eventually what worked was dismissing my pet, targeting degu, popping stampede (in my case I only had my chimera in my call beast tab because I was trying to grab a few other pets) which at my level isn't powerful enough to kill him, and then throwing a few shots at him to get him in the 20% health range.... Then boom speed tamed via glyph. It was much easier than I was making it by trying to copy other people's technique. I'm sure if I was level 100 I would have needed to alter my plan a bit too. Regardless I thought I'd share my experience in case it helps anyone who sucks as much as I do at kiting. :)

Kommentar von BMHunterMain

tamed him yesterday on a level 100 BM hunter in full conquest gear and i thought that i'd share my experience, given that much of the advice here is not applicable to max level hunters any longer.

went to the cliff under the brewery and he was right there. dismissed my current pet, activated the minor glyph to reduce tame time, then i dropped a binding shot right on top of degu while i stood on top of him. he hits like a wet noodle except for his ranged attack which takes 50% max HP, so avoiding that was my main concern.

i fired a single barrage and killed him, much to my frustration. signed out and played an alt for a while, came back later to find him again.

this time i dropped the binding shot then very sparingly used arcane shots, once i got him below 50% i'd attempt to tame after each shot. got him quickly, but came close to accidentally killing him again. took very little damage.

as a level 100 in good gear, do not try to kite, stand on him. your primary concern is going to be not killing him before you can tame... dont use any crows, dire beasts, barrage etc.

Kommentar von SomethingFoul

Level 100 in full season 3 PVP gear (ilvl 700).

Just took off a few pieces of gear to be safe and autoshot Degu until he was around 20% hp. Then hit Tame Beast.

You don't need to do anything beyond lowering his HP to get rid of his 'cannot be tamed' buff and tame him.

Good luck.

P.S. If for some reason you are taking a lot of damage from him:
1. Take your normal pet out (MAKE SURE HES ON PASSIVE)
2. Get Spirit Bond talent
3. Get healed from your Spirit Bond
4. Dismiss pet when Degu is about 30%-20% hp
5. Tame Degu

Kommentar von Shanji

You dont need kitting or run away or whatever else except one simple thing :
Its attack its 15-50 yards, that means if you stay close to it you aint goin to have any prob.
Done it yesterday after I tried the most of the recomended ways.
Stay next to it , tame it , have fun.

Kommentar von codeytherhino

Someone really needs to edit the map. I sat there roaming around Valley of Four Winds where the pin is located for about 15 minutes before checking somewhere else to see she is actually located at the rim to Krasarang Wilds.

Kommentar von Razorbite

16:04 Server Time On Duskwood. His location is actually under the rim in the dark dirt by a cave in Krasarang Wilds. Saw him hit him with all gear on to get to under 50% then re-target and tame. He is yours.

Kommentar von Ironshocker77

I reccomend taking rez sickness before taming. Makes the process easier.

Kommentar von Wolfsi

tamed on 81 as level 81 (bugged on the ground so it stopped moving)
found it 10 min later while i was 82 and it had scaled up to 82

Kommentar von Hyrcyne

Managed to tame this guy as lvl120 BM hunter with an ilvl of 338.

Had to take a resurrection sickness (just fly up and dismount to die). Did one basic attack on him with a crit and took him down to 17%. If one auto-shot didn't take enough of his health, but could crit on the 2nd one and kill him, you might aswell Feign Death to make sure you don't kill him and try again.

In 8.0.1, Spirit Beasts are Tenacity pets (tank spec). You get Ausdauertraining as a passive and a 3min CD that reduces damage for you and your pet: Überleben des Stärkeren. They also have Geistwandeln (stealth, 10sec CD), (dispell, 10sec CD) and Geistheilung, a nice heal with a 30sec CD.

Spirit Beasts make a very competitive choice of pets for Mythic+, raiding and just world questing.

Kommentar von kirirumoji

I'm a level 120 Hunter with 320ilvl gear.
First I found Degu with a macros /tar Degu - it was really easy.
Then I got Resurrection sickness as was said above, but along with that my weapon broke,
so it was piece of cake to weaken Degu because without weapon I had to hit him 5 times or so
with autoattack.
Just remove your weapon and you will be fine.
Cheers!

Kommentar von Meilao

This is even easier now in BFA. Take rez sickness, hit him with a concussive shot, if that doesn't take him down to almost no health you can let it auto shot until he's only got 1/4 health bar left, then tame.

Kommentar von toontown6969

as a 120 bm i took off my weapon and hit him once, he ended at 1.7% hp and i tamed him, so you dont have to take rez sick to tame this guy!

Kommentar von nairesiga

Tactic for BFA level 120 hunters.
Any shot will kill the poor animal instantly.
So:
Step 1. Spawns at 41.50,78.07 every 10 minutes.
Step 2. Remove all your gear and fly really high.
Step 3. Dismount and crash to your death.
Step 4. Rez at the cemetery and fly back.
Step 5. Keep punching until you bring her to 25% of life.
Step 6. Now stop and tame.

Kommentar von Unaffiliated

WARNING you cannot tame during the 2 week summer festival because of the random fire damage proc (from Bonfire's Blessing) that you cannot seem to be able to turn off... This will one shot it, even as a 120 with no gear and with res sickness.

Kommentar von THRobinson

At lvl120 taming wasn't bad. Once found (Gumi/Hutia/Degu) strip off all your armour and weapons, fly way up high and drop to your death. When you come back, resurrect and get the 75% sickness. Very important to get the resurrection sickness. I then flew over to where it was, and equipped my fishing pole as a weapon. No weapon sometimes works but if they heal then it's a much longer battle. Fishing pole worked fine. Once down to 30%, it was easy to tame.

Kommentar von killerbumfluff

Can't see it already here but the easiest way to reduce this guys health is to use this toy Ganzkörperschrumpfa no need to remove gear just use the toy and attack till his health is reduced, tame and job done =)

Kommentar von Flurffy

I didn't see any information for 9.x (shadowlands prepatch)... but a lot has changed for this little fella.

First, you will need your pet to get him weakened to tame him. If you do this without a pet... you will die.

Second, if you are in range to hit him with your auto attacks, he will use a barbed needle ranged attack that will pretty much two-shot you... so stay out of auto range.

Third, I didn't check him specifically, but his brothers in Kun-Lai Summit and Jade Forest are immune to frost traps... so he's likely immune as well.

So here's what you do: send in your pet to attack and just let them duke it out. You can edge into range and use Kill Command and you should use Bestial Wrath/Aspect of the Wild to speed things up. You can Intimidate (stun) him for a brief window to add extra damage, but I'd play it safe and just let your pet do all the work.

Once he gets below 25%: Dismiss Pet --> Aspect of the Turtle --> Disengage into taming range and pray to god your Tame Pet is fast enough

Good luck!

Kommentar von Jeolene

I can confirm (at least for the time being) you CAN get naked and punch these critters without having to die and take rez sickness at lvl50 (pre-Shadowlands prepatch). For me it was two hits and they went down to 15%. Not sure how that will change once we get into Shadowlands and start leveling, but for now it is doable :D

Kommentar von NinjaFlibble

I don't know if this is true of all spirit beasts, but I was able to tame Bulvinkel at level 12, before I got the Exotic Beasts ability. I am, however, unable to summon him as my primary pet. So, it seems that with Shadowlands, you can tame an exotic pet you just can't summon it until you hit 39. I have not done extensive testing, I just had this happen and thought it might be useful information for other hunters :)

Kommentar von Raniko

Naked 60 vs 35 elite....one punch kill. gonna try rez sickness tame method.

edit: equiped my fishing pole with rez sickness and was able to not one shot him. got the tame.

edit 2: respawn timer I experienced is roughly 7 min

Kommentar von Peaches

When I discovered these colored porcupines that the two I had tamed both had a difficult mechanism. When I got one shot by this one my friend decided to help and the memory of me saying that he hits like a train as my DK friend is running up to him brushing off my warnings and then hits him with his sword and instantly dies and Teamspeak going silent. I cried. Didn't help we ended up getting our warlock friend involved who also thought he could figure out how to help with me taming it. Hunters always lose the aggro when someone else interrupts their tame. The magnitude of how true that was ended up being a lesson I learned that day.

Learning the hard way with melee DK and ranged Warlock and me getting floored over and over trying to figure out the taming mechanism. If you are too close he will flatten you easily and if you are too far away he will shoot barbed needles at you and gives no time to think twice and change your distance. So when my friends were in the fight, me being ranged, I got killed from being further, they died from being close and because of more than one person.

Sending my pet into the fight ended up with my pet dead and me being pelted quickly to death. Obviously, anyone that is at a level beyond MoP won't likely run into the same issues, instead end up accidentally killing Degu. But there are ways to combat that. Similar to how when taming Ban'thalos there was always and still is a level of difficulty to it. I think pets with strategies are fun. Like ghostcrawler.

It's tameable! Just follow these steps:

-Tabard & Fishing pole equipped only

-Check to make sure he's up

-Fly up & fall to your death

-Talk to Spirit Healer to rez & get sickness

-Make sure pets are dismissed & space available to tame

-Fly back & melee a few times to get within tameable HP range

Cheers!

Kommentar von Gvault2011

Since the change to Rez Sick, you have not enough time to get back to hit him. You can use multiple Goblin Dragon Gun's MK2 (painstaking slow) or have someone level 30ish lower his health for you. Foam Sword also doesn't work and eny Mines or Grenades scale with level and instantly kill him.

Got it done easy with: Ganzkörperschrumpfa

Took all gear of and use the toy, then punch until 30% and tame.... Good luck

Kommentar von Mayamiie

So this may have been more difficult than it needed to be, but my bf and I definitely had fun with this. Keep in mind this only works if you have another person in your party who's lower level.

I (lvl 70 hunter in Dragonflight) didn't have the Whole Body Shrinka toy so my bf went on his Level 61 Death Knight, removed all his armor, died, and came back with the rez sickness debuff.

When my bf came back, we started a duel with each other (we did this bc otherwise he wasn't taking any damage from Degu). Once the duel commenced, he autoed Degu about 3-4 times until it was around 5k - 10k HP. Then I shot my bf until he was 1HP (ultimately winning the duel) and let Degu auto him to death. Right before my bf died, I used binding shot (can also use the toy Fruit Basket) to make sure I had interacted with Degu in order to gain/transfer the aggro (otherwise Degu just reset). Once Degu started targeting me I was able to tame!

It was a trial and error process, and it looks like there are easier and more effective ways to do this. But we had fun nonetheless and we just wanted to share ^^
