Devarien was able to tame Sian-Rotam yesterday! I've been wanting a white lion for a long time. I love the way lions look in general & the white color is just plain cool! However, prior to the recent patch, it was extremely difficult for an alliance character to tame a white lion, since they only spawned from two horde quests. I had a plan that once one of my horde characters was high enough to take the Winterspring quest, that Devarien would get an opportunity to tame him then. By the time that happened, Devarien was already level 70 and I just didn't feel like grinding the lion up 10 levels. With the 2.3 patch, not only can Alliance characters take the quest that spawns Sian, but pet leveling supposedly got easier. So, I decided to say goodbye to my raptor and get my lion =)
I brought him out to Nagrand to grind on all the beasts there. I figured that I could skin while grinding and at least make some money while doing it. I was surprised by how well my lion tanked. He was able to last an entire fight without loosing too many hit points. Pulling aggro was a problem, so I had to be very conservative with my shot rotation. I also used the Omen add-on to monitor my threat, which seemed to help. According to my pet's experience bar, it will take 84k exp to get to level 61 and he seemed to be getting about 700 exp per kill. That's about 120 kills for the level. That still seems like quite a grind, but hopefully I can stick with it.
