I have to take this chance to hijack this thread with my own story of bumbling idiocy based on your reference, Gar, to Old Cliff Jumper:

I was doing some Archaeology over the weekend and stumbled upon this rare spawn. I had immediate plans to tame him even going to far as to abandon the wolf I was "carrying" with me at the time (nothing special so I wasn't worried about losing it.)

Now, I'm going to blame the following on the fact it was about 3am, I'd been doing mind numbing Archaeology all night, and probably drinking too. Instead of LAUNCHING a trap at him and taming him straightaway, I decided to drop a trap at my feet and AGGRO him into teh trap. O. M. G.

Aside from the fact that's just the old inefficient way to do it anymore, I forgot the fact I WAS TWICE HIS LEVEL!!!!!!!!

Yes, I, wait for it…

 

one-shotted him.

I sat there, stunned and open-mouthed, for a good 2-3 minutes soaking in the FAIL.

Sorry for your virtual clumsiness.. I had a similar stupidity in Dustwallow Marsh. Just as I landed to Mudsprocket to dig some goddamn fossil, I had aggro from some creature nearby, and my ghostcrawler did his breathtaking charge to one shot the poor serpent… a wind serpent… an elite wind serpent?!…. HAYOC!!!    What did you do Jacques!!!……  (Finding Nemo)..

I wasn't particularly after this rare but if I was, I'm sure it would never show up for weeks, and after I observed the carcas, I realized how elegantly beatiful it was..

This incident gave me the habit of keeping my pet on passive, whenever wandering randomly around Azeroth, you never know when to come by some beast that you would like to tame.
