Ghost Wolf Pet

To add to the list of interesting and different pets, this baby is the current king of the hill.

It's basically a summoned beast from some of the new mobs in Dustwallow Marsh. Now, that's no big deal, except for the fact that the mob lasts only for 8 seconds. The problem? Your Tame Beast spell takes 20...

Anyway, intrepid hunters have found that this is not a huge problem... How? You just need to get your Tame Beast spell to be faster than 8 seconds!

First, you need a helm with a Meta-gem slot. An easy to get helm is High Warlord's Chain Helm which requires just 12,852 Honour and 30 AV Marks (or grind a bit more for Gladiator's Chain Helm for 14,500 Honour and 30 AV Marks) or Nether Runner's Cowl, assuming you are Exalted with Consortium.

Second, you need to get a Mystical Skyfire Diamond for the helm. Remember that you need more Blue gems than yellow. Now since you are facing lvl 30 mobs, just unequip all your gear with yellow gems. If you have NO blue gems, just buy some random junk blue gem from the AH (you should usually be able to find green (as in rarity) gems in AH for about 1g) and socket it into the helm.

If you are a Troll (with the Berserk racial giving 30% spell haste at 10% health, it has been reported that you can possibly do it solo with just the diamond, but frankly you need a fair bit of luck and almost no lag... Since I'm notorious unlucky where this kind of crap is concerned and I do have lag, I'm going to try to stack the deck a bit. These help:

• Drums of Battle which needs a 350 Leatherworker to use. These give 80 Spell Haste Rating - 5.1%
• Juju Flurry from a quest in Winterspring. These give 30 Spell Haste Rating - 1.9%
• Shaman's Bloodlust (or Heroism, depending on your faction) spell, which gives a flat 30% increase
• Priest MC spell, to better control the spawning of the Wolf

Now, I don't know any Leatherworkers and the mats seems a bit harsh and the JuJu seems like work for little benefit, so it should be easy with a Priest + Shaman. It's not that we have an abundance of these, but I should be able to round them up... In theory, with both Bloodlust and Berserk, I should be able to reduce the casting time to 4.9 seconds, whereas with Berserk (or Bloodlust) only, it's 7 seconds, which is a VERY small window of opportunity.

So, how to do it?

Duel your friends till you get to 10% health. Have the Priest MC the Grimtotem Spirit Shifters. Spam cast the various Aspects until the gem procs, then have the shaman cast bloodlust on you. When you start to grow, have the priest summon the wolf immediately.

You need to them immediately target the wolf and tame! This can be a bit tough so use a macro like this:
/target Grimtotem Spirit Guide
/cast Tame Beast
bind it to a button and spam as required!

Of course, after that, you have a nice grind ahead of you to bring a level 30 pet to 70... I'll wait till patch 2.3.2 where the pet leveling improvements go live before doing that.
