Once you learn how to lead tame with greater cure and invisibility, I think they are all the same difficulty. Isolate, beat down, lead tame.

Initially I was going to say either reptalon or fire steed for the environment factor. Maybe dimetrosaur for poison breath, or five slotters like frost dragons and greater dragons due to being on foot.
Taking a turn here as I realize the more challenging the environment, or the longer it takes to spawn a higher intensity generally leads to more fun for me. It's more of a reward in acquiring the ideal pet versus an easy-farming spawn (nightmare, ki-rin) or opening a statue.

I see.. least favorite and most answer by their most "difficult"
The cu sidhe is my least favorite; easy & boring while being very frustrating for obvious reason.. i prefer the running and hard plays over the LONG walk with a rock in my shoes.

My least favorite animal to tame is the one I find out after I tamed, that it does not meet the requirements I was looking for.

Things with a messy spawn around them that make it difficult and I feel like I'm more engaged in a PvM dungeon raid....

Hard to say. I mastered lead taming decades ago, and can lead tame on foot virtually any creature without beating it down, peacing, or invissing.
There's a few contenders though for the most challenging, for various reasons.
The Phoenix can actually be somewhat of a challenge, due to their sheer movement speed, mana dumping capability, and their Fire Aura will aggro them onto you very fast. Plus they tend to fly into areas where you can't get a tame attempt on them due to LoS.
The Greater Dragon used to be a challenge back when they could Teleport on top of you. Nothing quite like while taming a GD, they begin a Firebreath, and as soon as the 60 damage Firebreath hits you, they teleport on top of you and hit you with a 40-50 damage melee attack that applies a Bleed. Lots of burst damage when they could do that. Even worse if they hit you with a Poison or Paralyze right after that.
Back before i'd lure all the Dryads out, and when i'd lead tame all the Cus to turn over the spawn instead of killing them, taming Cus in the Twisted Weald was a pain in the ass. Not because of the Cus themselves, but because the Dryads would constantly be getting into fights with Changelings or Dire Wolves, and would area peace everyone around them (including you), so you couldn't cast at all. You'd be lead taming a Cu Sidhe, a Changeling would target you, then the Dryad would target the Changeling and peace you, and you couldn't cast heals as you got a dog trying to bite you and a Changeling blasting you with spells.
That was honestly some of the most irritating taming to ever piss me off, due to stupid Dryad peacing. I wanted to start a Crusade against the Dryads, and slaughter them all into extinction because of that. The "Wrath of the Fey" event was a good start to killing as many Dryads as possible.
The riskiest and most nerve wracking taming though, was taming a Nightmare in Terathan Keep back when T2A first launched. Not only was the Nightmare itself dangerous, but the entire area was dangerous with nasty Terathans everywhere, and that was also before Tram, so other players could attempt to kill you during the tame.
The Ossein Ram tame on New Legacy was surprisingly challenging to an extent. The Rams were extremely fast (as fast as a Phoenix, which is must faster than Rams are on Prodo), and hit hard, and could hit you with Disarm or Shield Bash (which would Paralyze you). They also spawned in a very dangerous room/area (Lich Lord room of Deceit), and if you lured them into the hallway (which was clear of Lich spawn), you had very little room to maneuver around them. You were going to be taking hits for sure.

This is what the changeling/ paragon changeling feels like:PlayerSkillFTW said:taming Cus in the Twisted Weald was a pain in the ass. Not because of the Cus themselves, but because
on top of walking with a rock in your shoes (cannot run) They fly over and annoyed the f out of you and unlike the bard.. even if you aggro them away they will spawn back in the CUs spawn, soon enough.
You have to lose karma to kill the freaking paragon CUs.. everything in this zone is frustrating for the worse reason; design to make u lose time and sanity.. compare this with blighted grove.. another frustrating zone but this zone was soo freaking fun.. frustratingly hard (no room; with ninja bard and spawn everywhere), but fun.
PS: The last time i went to tame CUs I was just aggroing them out of the desert to tame them in series and release them in the portal, but yeah I had to take turn with someone else.. the dude had his own little army; a pocket healer alt account.. never moving in the middle of the desert and instant auto healing everyone losing a single HP around him (i was like fuck stop healing me.. to realised it was a scripted bot).. this healer was also a bard.. to deal with the spawn.. to kill the CU he had another scripted alt account.. a sampire to kill the CUs and he was controlling his tamer (the only character moving and talking) cheating to release the pain.
The dude was there everyday 6-8 hours per day hunting for blazing CU's with 3 account, controlling one.
Here what look like 8-10 hours of legit CU's taming; pure pain:

My least favourite is any 5 slot.
Mainly because it's usually 4 or 5 tries before I remember to get off my ethereal

Because they are not "real" pets ethereals should not take up any pet slots.

I tend to agree with this. An ethereal should take the exact same slots that Gargoyle flying and Ninjer Animal form does.TimSt said:Tim said:My least favourite is any 5 slot.

Lol, yeah. When i farm Cu Sidhes anymore, i have my Disco/Tamer with a Giant Beetle (for collecting gold) on standby, and use my Sampire with a 120 Disco+AP Vollem to kill the Cus. My Sampire kills the regular Cu Sidhes within seconds, and once a Paragon Cu Sidhe pops, i alt-tab to my Disco/Tamer to discord it, then back to my Sampire to kill it within 15 seconds. Turning the spawn over by killing it nowadays, is a LOT faster than taming them. If a rare color i want spawns, i simply alt-tab over to my Disco/Tamer, and tame it.
I start the process now by luring all the Dryads out of the desert and over to the champ spawn area. That way i won't have to deal with their annoying peace, and the Changelings (including Paragons) are no challenge for my Sampire.

The guy i'm speaking about.. I was playing with his tamer..the mage bard and sampire were automated. he was moving/playing chatting on his tamer and the mage bard would auto heal us at the second we losing a single HP while barding, while the sampire would PvE.. he was not alt tabbing.. it was very relaxing playstyle with a tons of automation.PlayerSkillFTW said:Lol, yeah.

The next time he was there first i would turn around.. i don't support this kind of playstyle/cheats.. back then this dude would have stop doing what he was doing when another players shows up.
PS: this is why i would release the CU in the portal zone.. my way to protest his playstyle.. He had to clear the spawn before coming in.
Pretty sure he understand my disaprobation cuz when i was there he would also turn around. Been there ~2-3 weeks cuz BS did dirty with my old nearly perfect CU with a 4 slots CU, after giving exploiter a 2 slots one.
I personally could have use my alt account for barding and healing.. but i'm not using the bot option, under BS.. doing it legit would just make it worst.. heavy and still frustrating.. imagine a changeling para pop when your taming a cu.. one of the two account would die.. cuz I do have to alt tab.. unlike that cheater controlling 3 account at the very same time (only one is control + 2 automated)
Edit: BTW i highly disaprove the no slot ethereal, just use your ethereal for your travel and summon ball when your in the zone u wanna be (if u can't ride your beast)
You guys just gonna delete most 5 slot pet we can mount in the game cuz everyone and his mom will use the Greater + ethereal, type of stuff.
If they do 0 slot ethereal they need to rework all their pets first, imo.
Maybe u could ask for better 4 slots tho with better 1 slots, more options!
I'd ask for a rune beetle 4 slots.. jumping from 3 to 5 is dirty (for good reasons, but still ^^)
