Patch 4.2 is practically here and I've decided that I might do a bit more raiding on my alt. hunter, and thus I needed to get his stable in order. That meant ensuring I had all of the necessary raid buffs and debuffs covered, as well as making sure I had a spirit beast or two, or three in my arsenal.
One quick note before I begin, if Nochecazador from Of Marks and Beasts happens to be here, you might want to stop reading after I mention Gondria (see Still Waiting for Jadefang).
Now my strategy for taming creatures is pretty simple. I decided which ones I'd like to have and then I fly out to their spawn locations and I tame them, because they are almost always there when I arrive. With that in mind, let's go tame some pets.
First off, no stable is complete without a spirit beast. They have an agility buff, a healing spell and they just look plain awesome. Okay everyone, sing with me now "...ba-da-da-da-DUM-DUM-dum-dum My Karoma!"

Well as you all know spirit beasts are the junk food of hunter pets so you can never have just one. So off I went in search of more, and the find them I did.
Hello Ghostcrawler, now about the disappearing gun in patch 4.2? I've never looked for GC before and I've got to say they couldn't have put him in a more desolate looking place. Vash'Jir is a beautiful zone, but this area looks like an case study on coral bleaching due to global warming. When you see GC here you can't help but want to tame him or put him out of his misery. I chose tame.
Next up, Gondria. What can I say, when you find these things as often as I do, the risk of the screen getting assaulted by raspberry latte goes way down.
And finally, I couldn't let Eddie have all the fun, so I thought I'd let Darkbrew get in on the action. Sadly, I wasn't running with a BM spec, so I added Jadefang to my other pet collection. Sorry gang.
So, three spirit beasts and an additional rare sighting. Not bad for just a little flying around. If it's any consolation, I did swing by the spawn points for Skoll, Arcturus, Sambas, and Loque'Nahak and none of them wanted to come out and play.
