My Current Quest: Frostbitten can SUCK MAH BAWLS!!!

So after a long hard road I've completed my t9 set, and gained my Loremaster and Seeker titles. Now what pray-tell is left for me, well I've decided on a change of pets. I've come to the realization that I never, PVP which was my primary reason for my Silithid (that and the awesome animations), of course i also decided this when i need 100 stonekeeper shards for the heirloom gun for my baby belf hunter. Anyway I decided to get rid of Fi'el, and move on to bigger and better things and by bigger i mean a devilsaur, but I'm picky, so no ordinary devilsaur will do. I have to have the green one, I.E. King Krush. Now for the past month and a half or so I've been flying about sholazar searching for this guy, with no sign of him or any other rare spawn for that matter. Comically while I was hunting Loque, and had no interest in Krush, I saw him on 4 different occasions and even kill him once. Now when I want him he MIA. Yet finally after weeks and weeks of futile searches. To the point where WoW actually began to bore me he spawned, just north east of nesingwary camp.

King Krush is the HARDEST tame in WoW right now.

So yeah after all that I didn't get him. I took five separate attempts and failed each time. I managed to get enough haste to bring Tame beast to about 12 seconds and twice i got down to 1.5 seconds before he feared me. the Problem was my first tame which was my best chance was a total bonk. I popped BW while out of range of tame beast and i had a trinket proc. This meant my berserking was on cooldown for my next few attempts. In between a human warlock tried to kill him and met with a swift end. Of course i was rooting for the King all the way. If it had been a PVP server i'd have helped him kill her. After two more attempts i run out of potions of speed, which meant my last attempt had berserking but no potions, this one actually was as close to perfect as a failure can be, save for the fact that i died costing me valuable time, since i had to reach my body, rebuff, and tame a pet. By the time i caught up with my quarry the warlock had come back for vengeance. Never had i wished i was on aPVP server more than at that moment, as I watch Krush's help drop to zero. Sadly i sulked to orgrimmar and snagged some cloth shoulders for some extra haste and slapped a Quick Kings Amber in there. restocked for 5 more attempts and made my way back to sholarzar hoping for another chance, which is where I am as i write this. I now firmly believe that Frostbitten is the worst achievement in the game as far as hunter's are concerned. Three of the mobs are three completely unique skinned pets who all share a respawn timer, Loque the original spirit beast, King Krush the only green devilsaur and the MOST INSANELY DIFFICULT tame in the game, and Aotona arguably the rarest of the three who is a Bird of Prey that uses the same model as the epic Hyacinth Macaw. This means that these mobs will be sought after because of their uniquness and rarity, however the achieve means that players other than hunters will be hunting them as well making taming all the more difficult since other players, particularly when of the opposing faction, are assholes. I myself regret having kill Krush in the past. In my ignorance I believed every one was looking for Loque and ended up taking the tame from another hunter. This means that for a hunters who are looking for rare pets and achievements they have to track each mob twice. Personally I thinking Taming should count as a kill for the purposes of the achievement it would make the acheivement much more hunter friendly, and, in the case of Krush, harder to do (about the same for the others), but the problem of other players is still there, but that comes with the territory. I like a challenge, but after months of search I don't like human warlocks killing it in front of me, especially since i cant ask them to stop.
