Charming pre-bear...please advise!
Ryve
I would like to charm a black bear in pre-searing. Although it should be impossible, I have heard it is not. Please advise on how I could do this.

Taming a Black Bear in Pre-Searing is very difficult but not impossible. It takes two people working together to do this. Have the bear engage the other player, and have the one trying to charm the bear, stand so that the bear will be on the edge of his aggro bubble. Both players should wait until the bear uses its Brutal Mauling skill. You can figure out when by counting the bear's attacks - it will use it every fourth attack. As soon as it does, the charmer must use Charm Animal, and the other player must run in the other direction. The bear must be made to chase the retreating player to get it far from the one using the skill. If done correctly, the bear will have moved too far away for it to use Breaking Charm in time. It will definitely require several tries to get it right.
Another also rather difficult way of taming the bear is to be either a Ranger/Necromancer or a Necromancer/Ranger with Faintheartedness and teamed up with a Warrior/Monk or a Monk/Warrior and have them use a hammer. Start off with Faintheartedness to slow the attack speed of Brutal Mauling. Just before the bear finishes, have your teammate use Hammer Bash to knock the bear down, followed immediately by Bane Signet to knock the bear down again. Before the bear gets up, you will have reached the 10 seconds needed for the charm to work, and the bear is yours. This has been fixed in a recent patch.
