Talk:Black Bear
From Guild Wars Wiki
There are two ways to charm a bear in pre. I know one and know of the other but id appreciate some elaboration
Firstly as a first profession Ranger once you can have a high enough level in expertise you can charm animal faster then the bear can break charm.
The secondly involves two characters and can be done by anyone without a second profession. I've heard mention of a paticular order to doing the second prof quests. I've heard the key is to haveing a Warrior with bane signet to knock it down with a well time charm. My guess is it has to do a bit with luck a bit with distance and a bit with tanking. As i said, I'd appreciate some elaboration
- What expertise got to do with faster charming? For the second one you dont even need bane signet as you will have the bear charmed before it can kill anyone ~ Kurd

[edit] Brutal Mauling
so hey, there's an official wiki and everything now. can we finally get a comment on this? bears get a skill that does normal damage and is slower to activate, resulting in an (arguably minor) lower DPS; but it DOES count as an attack skill, which means there are some paragon skills and other odds and ends that will trigger off this. is the "leftover" Brutal Mauling and its behaviour intended, or an oversight that might one day be corrected?
- Well, it no longer even activates on skills, making it purely bad. It's an oversight, given that in other languages it clearly refers to the old skill which caused bleeding.
I charmed my bear at fourth level, with ranger as my secondary profession and using a second player who, as I recall, was a mesmer. It required over 20 attempts before we succeeded. I believe that timing and position of the caster is the key. Caster stands at the very edge of the aggro ring with bear and second player at the center. Every fifth attack the bear will rear up. This is when the charm spell is cast. At the samne moment the second player draws the bear away from the caster. If timed properly, the bear is pulled to far away to break the charm spell. It takes a lot of patience...but hey, it worked for me. I payed the second player 1500 gold for his time and effort! 207.118.207.223 17:45, 4 December 2007 (UTC)Nice Ash
Yikes! My bear still uses brutal mauling even though I tamed him! Eryops3 20:02, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

- Very common bug - frequently seen with the Enchanted Swords/Hammers in Crystal Desert which show up as L5 Dune Lizards. Shame they're not charmable in this form :) --Snograt

I love this. That's Galrath, and I don't know how he got into the Northern/Southern Shiverpeaks, or any other snowy place. Bisurge 04:42, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
How is that Galrath? O.o Its just a regular White Mantle Warrior guy Aerie 21:19, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
[edit] "Sometimes when you charm a Black Bear, the Black Bear is taken as an ally instead of a pet."

[edit] Charming Guide
This was removed from the main page, thought someone might still value it so sticking it here.
Charming Pre-Searing Black Bear:
You will need to have two people for this. The person not getting the bear will aggro the bear and let it hit him/her without attacking back. The bear will hit three times and then cast his skill Brutal Mauling. When he does this, the person seeking to tame the bear will cast his Charm Animal skill. It may take anywhere from a few minutes to whatever time the glitch takes hold of the bear.
Steps to Tame:
1: Teammate aggros the bear.
2: Bear hits three times and casts his Brutal Mauling.
3: As the bear casts his skill, the tamer casts his Charm Animal at the exact time as that bear.
4: Repeat step 1-3 if it fails.
- Yeah, the guide is valuable information. I don't think it belongs on that page, but it belongs somewhere. Calor

This is a bit wrong, the Bear will still break the Charm, as the Bear stops to cast Brutal Mauling, as soon as you see the Flash of light, the person who has taken Aggro has to run the away from the Ranger while keeping the Bear Aggro'd If done properly, the Bear will be out of range to use Break CharmAerie swiftarrow 00:07, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

- Nothing. Talk:Charmable animal#Professions has a discussion about pets and discussions, so it doesn't really belong. --

[edit] Purpose
This bear grows in size as it levels up, making it much more effective for body blocking. Bisurge 04:45, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
- I am pretty sure the same thing applys for all Charmable Animals. — ク Eloc 貢 21:25, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
Unfortunately, I haven't found it that way with all pets. I have seen it in the tiger and white tiger, however. Eryops3 19:55, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
