Lupos Taming Guide - (Elysium Only)

Recommended Posts

Lupos doing shadow damage is technically an exploit.

why this change was reverted is beyond me.

currently the mobs in BWL with "shadow vulns" or any debuff in particular that increases shadow damage done to the mob/player affects his damage scaling.

http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Patch_1.9.0

All hunter pets will now always deal Physical damage for their base attack.

 

there is a reason why blizzard changed it in 1.9 when lupos can do 150k damage to chromaggus during shadow vulns (around 500+dps).

 

why this community prefers bugged pets and exploits to be intentionally put in the game befuddles me tbh.

lupos should be doing physical damage and this change should never have been implemented as it is part of class balancing over the course of wow patches. 1.1-1.12.1.

This isn't Nost, and no it isn't the same Nost core.

You should actually educate yourself before spewing you're non-adhering vitriol in other forums.

its still the nost core.

not sure what fairytale land you live in bud.

 

also this thread is about how to tamed a bug pet to exploit the bugged shadow damage melee he uses.

not sure how bright you kids are tbqh.

should loop this with that bugged Bat from RFK as well since you guys are geniuses.

It's not Elysiums job to change classic world of Warcraft. Count yourself lucky that several other hunter attributes from the time are not active on Elysium.  Pet pursuit speed is a big example.

When 1.9 content will be released, lupos will be nerfed. Why you crying about this, when most classes got major buffs through content, and hunter nerfs. Currently is 1.1 or 1.3 w/e with 1.12.1 talents, but since items is old and pet is actually item, all seems legit.

Ok, so either revert the change or white list every hunter on darrowshire and anathema allowing them to exploit the shadow damage attack during chromaggus doing over 100k damage and 500+ dps from just the pet itself.. 

Your call. :)

We have 1.12 mechanics and content of the current patch. Whether a pet's damage type is a mechanic or content is arguable, so it's not necessarily a bug, but at least it should be consistent (if lupos has shadow damage ursol'lok should have fire damage, snarler should have his resists etc.)

It took me 10+ hours to tame and level him (tamed at level 40) but it's absolutely been worth it.

Got ganked by a 59 warrior yesterday, came back and destroyed him repeatedly at level 52 with Lupos. He probably didn't have great gear but with BW active Lupos absolutely shredded him. Pretty crazy to see it.

Can confirm on Zeth'Kur based on 3 spawns were 5.5 hours apart and at the exact locations indicated on the map. Spawns are random in location, although I I got 3 in a row at 33, 25. Got ganked on the first one and the other two were killed by Biggons.

Edit: Finally got one this morning at about 12pm server time. Trying for a second one with my Hunter alt.

Hi Katten,

 You should have indicate at which exact hour you tamed him, cause i suppose that the countdown restart from the time you tame him, so +5h30 if Lehman Russ calculation is right.  Im on this since a few days, spent 4h+ yesterday with up to 3 more horde hunters, all in team, to wait for the pop.  Finally, at 4am, i was the last remaining on the 2 east spots, and before leaving, i went to the west spots, and my luck again striked because when i arrived at the weastern spot, at 4h10, he was just being tamed by a lv22 alli hunter ! arghhh.  So i counted that next respawn was for +/- 9h30, i connected at this moment, we were 2 hunters, but saw nothing, i disconnected at 10h+ and reco at 15h and read your post that you tamed it 3h before ... yes, but the exact time would be helpfull.

 Or was it around 12h ?  Because maybe Lupos start its pop every days at the same hour, dunno, if u come back please tell, but i doubt you'll come back as now u have it.

 

 Hint for any horde hunter coming : make a /who and talk + group with other hunters in search of Lupos.  And if you are new to search for Lupos or you just arrived, take a spot and see Lupos popping, be fair and let Lupos for the ones who were waiting and camping him since a long time in the zone.  Just take note of the exact hour, add +5h30 and come back at this moment, and so on.

The exact time is hard to remember, but i think it was 11:30 gmt+2 or something like that.
Happy hunting.

You have to kill enemies his level, not yours.  He'll gain XP from mobs your level obviously, but it's not required.  Grind mobs 2-3 levels above your pet's current level for maximum efficiency.  It's going to take some time to get him to 60.

It was tamed at 15,30, then Tamed at 33,25  The timer on Elysium right now is 6 hours, almost exactly.
