  • WoW looked fun back then.

  • well MY cat can tank the Lich King

  • @redrex7819 my cat can tank too, it has his own pc and is a death knight :p

  • lol had to look a this vid casue my friend did it, thought he finaly got on youtube!

  • @ imaketwinks: there was no Misdirection in the 40 man days. Also No aspect of the Viper. Tier sets had Spirit & MP5. Hell, the Striker set (T2.5) had Spell Power stats for buffing arcane shot. It was a very different game in vanilla (and I miss it :{ )

  • Very annoying remix, I kept going "c'mon, I wanna hear the chorus!" and it quits halfway through the bass beat half the time ^^

    Not saying it's bad, just annoying because of that.

    Anyway, cool vid.

  • everything was alot more fun in the good old days when you could do shit like this :)

  • this is before wotlk of course hunter pets were strong as shit cause they could learn alot stamina and armor skill, now wotlk blizzard nerfed hunter pets so other classes kill hunter's pet just like eat a cake, and of course pets cant tank raid now its shitty

  • under right condtions they can

  • Dang, even back then with BM buffs, you'd need two groups of hunters mashing misdirect =/

  • Nope, there were no aggro issues, although I kept expecting there to be at any moment! Possibly because the pet was immune to wing buffet, so didn't suffer the aggro drops that any player tank would. Granted most of the raid dps was alts, but they had reasonable gear (ZG, AQ20 & BWL epics)

  • Haha pet immune to wing buffet? :D Wish my warrior was immune to that way back when

  • Heh yeah, it gets better though! Not only were hunter pets immune to Wing Buffet, they were also immune to a variety of other stuff, including the Locust Swarm ability from Anub'Rekhan in Naxx. Easiest way to kill that boss was have a hunter pet tank him on one side of the room and keep him there all fight!

  • Haha wish I had known that, would've made life easier

  • @stormknightx why didnt like a bear or crab or something like that tank it?

  • @HellaBigGuy Back then there weren't that many differences between different animals for pets, other than the special attacks they got. My main concern was that I cap fire res to maximum (through pet talents) and then make sure the pet generated as much threat as possible, so I used my cat, which was the highest dps pet around, having access to both claw & bite special attacks.

  • Couple days ago, myself and one other Death Knight did a duo run of Ony. With the new lvl 80 buffs on her, it took us close to an hour and a half to finally take her down. We joked about how (she remembered this) back in vanilla it'd take a raid months to learn the fights and 40 men to do what we did with 2.

  • Onyxia got converted to a level 80 boss a month or so back!

  • lol ic no cat t.t

  • how the fuck can the cat hold the aggro? :S

  • Blizz had just buffed the Beastmaster tree of hunters a LOT. Pets were pretty insane. Talented pet growl suddenly had a huge amount of threat.

  • Ah oké

  • i was looking for a video with cat vs dragon in it and it gave me this =O

  • i bet the cat was pretty pissed about having to tank at first, but then for a while after he got big heals, he was cool about it

  • yea plus he got to kick dragon butt

  • MEOWW!!

  • Nice a Orange House Cat for a Tan that's Awosome!!!No really that's tight yo.

  • is this pet from stranglethorn vale and nice vid.

  • No its from shadowmoon valley.

  • Say what you want about BM spec, but the pet for a BM hunter is amazing. I perfer to use a wolf, which is Furocious Spec (DPS) and he has 80 resist to all magics, 15k HP and 20k armor. He can tank pretty much anything. I was able to solo the quest "A Hero's Burden" at lvl77, which is a 3 man quest. Call me OP I don't care; I soloed an onlevel 3man.

  • arent you a hero......

  • anyone can solo the so called "3 players recommended quests" especially hunter, if you did it on a warrior or rogue id give you more credit, but on a hunter, jeeze, its eazy mode with them, i soloed it as a pally but i dont boast. GO solo ulduar if you want bragging rights.

  • Comment removed

  • vid is posted in 2007 man. pre tbc. lvl 60 cap. a hunter pet tanking a 40man raid boss is rly amazing !!

  • Comment removed

  • i recently lv a ape to 80 and i can say that they r not very good...i find myself using tenancy pets like my cat more often..

  • Cats are Furocious pets.

  • hes right back then apes were awful...plus cats put out much better dps

  • hey why would u use a cat as a tank?? a boar or ape would be much better

  • Back then apes made *awful* pets. There were no talent trees for pets, so the skills they got weren't based on pet type either.

    Simply, cats were capable of the highest dps, therefore had the highest threat.

    With the amount of fire res, survival wasn't an issue, so maximising threat was important. :)

  • this the earthen ring EU lost chapter?

  • It is indeed. Though the guild disbanded last year.

  • What do u use to record?

  • I use an application called FRAPS.

  • i got Taak the leaper as my pet still , and im now lvl 80 lol

  • how did youre pet hold the aggro??cant imagine how this should work.

  • This was back before Burning Crusade, when Blizzard had just patched to allow everyone access to the new TBC talents pre-expansion.

    This meant I had all the funky new beastmaster talents and pet scaling, which was a bit too powerful ....

    It also helps that Onyxia has knockback attack that causes loss of threat from the MT. Pets are immune to such knockback attacks (and thus the de-aggro).

    This all meant that the pet held better aggro and took less damage than any player could.

    :)

  • ah kk thanks

  • Is it possible to solo Onyxia at level 70? Because you guys realise that this was taken BEFORE WOTLK was released (so no level 80 or DK's).

  • There's some videos around of a druid in best epics soloing Onyxia at 70. Took him ages though!

  • yea i solo him all the time on my hunter REALLY easy with a core hound but i hate being BM surv is the only way to go

  • i know a lvl 80 DK who soloed this its not hard when ur lvl 80.

  • were can u get your pet!

    reply :P

  • that looked like the pet from the islands off by oggrimar but months of leveling after getting it

  • My pet, Amber, is a standard Tiger from Stranglethorn Vale.

  • no, dragons arrnt beasts.. they are dragonkins ore something

  • can u tame dragons?

  • No :/ Unfortunatly not

  • i did onyxia's lair with 6 ppl today we had me a lvl 60 blood Dk a lvl 65 Balance Druid lvl 80 warrior lvl 74 ret pally lvl 60 and lvl 70 shadow priests and a lvl 80 DK that was AFK

  • I know a 70 warrior and a 60 ret pally who 2manned it before WOTLK

  • howd u get the square target things? mine r always circle ___

    O[___]

  • dude i love Quicksilver. <3

  • Imagine a 40 man raid of 80s taking on Onyxia. Now imagine it with one tank, one healer, and 38 dps.

    this is still epic though. luv tanking with my hunter's pet :)

  • i cant imagine a fight that would take... less then 30 sec? :P

  • Took us 23 seconds.

  • Depending on the class, the tank wouldn't need healing.

  • That was never the case at level 60, even in full 40-man Naxx gear. My main character was a warrior in T3 and MT for our guild. Even with all that gear, still needed some healing. Actually tanking with the warrior I would have to wear some of my dps kit otherwise I didn't have enough rage to hold aggro!

  • what is a hunter tank exactly?

  • I think there's probably videos on youtube of hunters tanking bosses like Nefarion and Onyxia, using wing clip and raptor strike. lol. Never struck me as a good idea.

    In this case, it's the hunter's PET that's doing the tanking. My hunter is performing the normal role you would expect and shooting the dragon full of xbow bolts.

  • his PET is the tank.... omg.. man read before writting

  • the rest of the tanks must be geared badly if the pet is tankin sheesh

  • Not really. My main was MT for our guild and at the time was geared in most of a set of T3 (Naxx 40-man).

    This was done for laughs because I had a bet with a fellow guildy that Onyxia was so easy that I could tank her with a dps pet belonging to my hunter alt who was geared in mostly AQ20/ZG gear.

  • lol the pey is TANK :D

  • If everyone would play horde.. Who against you would play then?!

  • Ony used to mean something, ya know. On the one hand, I like being able to retro-own bosses that were bitch slapping you left and right before, but the status symbol just isn't there any more.

    Like the Charger. It used to be the pimp ride of a dedicated player. Now it's every joe schmoe's rent-a-car.

  • how much hp does onyxia have?

  • a little over 1m

  • 1.05M I believe..

  • she has 1,1 million :)

  • 1099k to be precise

  • hehe

  • I have a turtle as my tank pet...Deensive is excellent but with just me and him fighting higher lvls its kinda hard because his attack power is very limited

  • hehe my ret pally solo's ony every week now about 180g for about 30 mins of work =) gonna have a friend fraps it someday soon ^_^.

  • don't feel special

  • ya know, i look at this, then i look at a vid of two druids doing the same thing, and i think " wtf"

  • Ironically, with level 80, a single druid or paladin can easily solo Onyxia now!

  • also a hunter can solo it (BM) My hunter is BM. Nick:Enragedbeast Server:Burning-blade<--Euro, you can check out my spec for BM hunters on armory :)

  • lol u are just sitting there mending ur pet

  • Heh, nope. I was shooting away, I think there were 5 healers in the raid. It was well over 2 years ago, so don't remember exactly.

  • known fact,gorilla is best tank pet,and cat is best dps per,im a hunt,i got a cat and a gorilla

  • why is gorilla best? i havent played a hunter since pre tbc, but i used to have a turtle as my tank

  • gorillas have aoe attack to take out multiple targets,have passive effect on talent tree to take 40% more from healing moves,and are good for aggro control to you can go all out on the target/s

  • no. u can only get beasts as pets. onyia is a dragonkin

  • that would bbe hella cool lol

  • I would love to have onyxia as a pet, except I don't play a hunter, and dont plan on rolling one.

  • lol n1

  • NICE TRACK

  • ya pearl is sick

  • Before wotlk patch my Cat tanked TK SSC and Mags :D

  • You do know Bears can tanked good now??? like real good my lvl 72 bear tanked a fel reaver

  • Not sure with the release of WotLK, but I killed Ragnaros with a 12-man team just before the expansion and nobody had any fire res at all (including the tank) we just nuked him and he died well before the phase where he summons adds.

    I would guess it's even easier now?

  • I still remember the hardest thing about this fight when we did it Ame.

    Not falling asleep through the boredom having having bugger all to heal.

    Nerf high threat dealing, knockback immune and high fire res without threat gimpage tanks >,>

  • OH MY GOD so buffed pet xD supported by ton of chars xD

  • my pet always tanks in my partys

  • Pets are neat off tanks, in my opinion.

  • Amber is a beast

  • lol esy raid i can solo it with my druid

  • Gratz, but this was Jan 2007 at level 60. With the most recent buffs to pet tanking, it's possible to tank some interesting TBC stuff now as well!

  • you can solo with a druid?. ok make a vid of it then

  • Make a vid then.

  • O_o You're right! lol Doesnt even look like a girl.. XD 6

  • Horde abilities are intended for a PvP aspect, Alliance is more PvE.

    No one is better, each has their use.

  • not true, you fail

  • Check the racials, analyze the facts.

  • haha wow. .must of had some horrible dps to not pass a pet in threat

  • Not really, check my reply to the comment below. ;)

  • LOL did the tiger hold the aggro?

  • Yup and easily too. This was just after patch 2.0, so all of the TBC beta talents were available, but it was still original (level 60) WoW.

    The hunter beast master talents REALLY buffed pets, to the point where, with growl on auto, there was NO chance of a player pulling aggro.

    Same trick was possible with some Naxxramas bosses even, like Anub'rekhan, as pets were immune to his aura of damage that player tanks had to run from.

  • can i have the BM hunter spec?

  • thats a bad ass pet haha!, KEEP THAT PET HEALED xD!

  • hacks lol

  • if anyone who plays on a european server wnats to do the recruit a friend thing let me know. so we can get the zhevra mount and 3x faster leveling. atm im level 15. and willing to wait till u catch up :D currently i play wow most of the day. but soon i can only play half of the day :( so lemmie know :D

  • doug ur an uber noob lol

  • NEVAR!

  • jeanne the most useless priest i have ever seen in my whole life. ppl like u pisses me off

  • Actually, Jeanne was complaining to me afterwards about having nothing to do. :P

    On a normal Onyxia fight, you'd have 2 healers assigned to the MT. Thing is, my cat had max fire res, so took almost nothing from the breath weapon. Add in as much armour as most tanks and about 60% dodge and you see why Jeanne had little to do. :)

  • There was nothing FOR Jeanne to do...

  • dude i dont think u can even get in the instance for onixias lair at 50?!?

  • I guess he could have been 60+ but with a level 50 pet, but dunno why anyone would do that. ;)

  • Its real and Im shocked,nice job!

  • 0.83 attack speed....ah....those were the times...pet attack normalisation ftl

  • just put armor and fire resistance on your pet is enough to tank this big fella

  • fuckin A mate. this is for those pricks who say hunter pets CANT tank. uv done us proud

  • nice!!!!!! well done

  • You can see this group atleast has MC gear which usually has fire-resistance. My priest would murder for the staff jeanne holds :P benediction ftw :) 5/5 cause hunterpet's own :D

  • the smallest group who downed onyxia pre-bc was 3.

  • The smallest group of people to ever down onyxia pre-bc was a group of THREE. their video can easily be found on youtube.

    Yes they're asian (heh) and they were in t2 gear. pretty amazing.

  • 2-manned pre-TBC? That's a pretty awesome achievement. Do you have a link for screenshots or video?

    As far as I remember pre-TBC Onyxia couldn't be hit by melee attacks during P2, so would have taken quite some time for that warrior to dps her down with just his bow/gun!

  • Basically you're full of it Sabreharyanto. Only a Pally can (and has) truly soloed Ony. There are rumors of a per-BC 2 man, but I've never been able to find the video so I don't buy it.

    This is a pretty cool video. I didn't think a pet would have enough health or armor to take her.

  • Actually, I saw the video and it was indeed Pre-TBC, 3 people though. They were loaded on flasks and stuff but still, it amazed me.

  • theirs a vid on youtube of a resto druid soloing onyxya

  • Private server, duh ;)

  • nop its real ^^

  • Druid would go oom before ony would be 90% hp.

  • Cool video, but the way you patronize people in literally almost every single response really annoys me. Grow some balls and say what you really wanna say. The backhanded insults and sarcasm are extremely rude and unnecessary.

  • Seems you have some self-righteousness issues.

    The way you patronize me in your post really annoys me. Grow some balls and say what you really wanna say. The backhanded insult and sarcasm are extremely rude and unnecessary.

    *sigh*

    trolls.

  • Hahaha thanks for emphasizing my point.

  • Hmmmm, and you emphasizing mine. ;)

  • this is because the gear wasn't that great pre tbc so the bosses werent as extreme as they are now. Hunters pet didn't improve as they should have in TBC, cuz of this hunters pet are extreamly weak at lvl 70 when fighting endgame geared players. also how many HoTs did amber had on her? ;P a Hunter could never keep the pet allive whit the change to Mend pet!

  • The funny thing was that we had 4 healers who were prepared for a really tough time to keep my pet cat alive.

    About 30 seconds in, one of them (a paladin) says over ventrillo (voic comms), "WTF? When's your cat going to take some decent damage? This is easier than healing our MT...(who was tier 3 gear)"

  • wow if you can have that as youre pet that would be awesome

  • read info, dumbass.

  • ur a human priest!?!?!

  • Yup, that's right, because human priests have pet cats. They also know how to check the info for a video on youtube! ;)

  • haha now the raid bosses hit WAY too hard & people do too much damage to keep threat from leaving the pet :(

  • Heh, damn right they do. I'm not sure it's possible to get a pet's health high enough to even take a single mainhand hit from Brutallus. ;)

  • my gratz for the video u really know how to use hunter class i will create on thks lot!!

  • omfg.. gl! this hunter rly respects his class.. gg!!!

  • lol u look like a mage

  • That dragon looks vicous!But you can kill him!!!!!!!

  • Awesome Video!

    =__+

  • get a gorilla they own for tanking..they have a skill that snatches extra threat

  • Nice

  • OMFGS !

  • LOL SICK.

  • so you claim this was pre tbc but you used misdirection you said also.

    Hmmmm

    O'rlyOwl

  • Dude, you fail so bad. Take a break from your trolling and look at the date this vid was posted on youtube. #;)

    Like I said below I didn't mean MD.

  • lol you told him :D

    Amazing job keeping threat with your pet. I've always thought it was impossible, but you've convinced me otherwise ^ ^

  • does anyone know what the mods cslled that makes your picture move? and where i can get it?

  • pritty sure its called Adapt

  • I'm using Pitbull currently, works nicely and available from wowace.com not sure what the one in the video would have been.

  • This aint possible, no pet pre tbc had so much dmg / dps
