For anyone else looking up this boss to see if it's soloable, a warning - don't even try. Maybe there are some classes that can, but as a level 90 BM hunter, forget it. I spoke to the NPC, the tiger came out, I set my pet on it, the tiger leapt directly at me, regardless of aggro and in one shot, I was dead. This is a boss fight. Take a tank, healer and dps. And my advice... don't bother doing the quests for these. Just wait for them to be spawned in the cages and *then* take a group after them. Even then, I won't be doing these. Terrible idea, Blizz. Just terrible.

I find it too hard to be acceptable. Even with four players, all level 90 and ilvl 470+ (myself as arcane mage, ilvl 482) we wiped several times. Myself I got killed both from leap damage (which I should have avoided) and from "normal" damage (30k per second is a bit too much in my opinion for a level 92 elite... maybe 97 would be more appropriate?).

Maybe I am just complaining about this since I was not able to down it with a team where two tanks, one mage and one rogue was not able to down the tiger, but still...

Any weakness the tiger has that one has to use?

Seems to be a bit of confusion amongst players as to how to down this surly bastard. Firstly, certain tank classes CAN solo him (so far I've seen a Blood DK and me as a Protection Paladin doing it), however it's a challenging fight that definitely requires quite a few cooldowns.

For normal groups, however, it can be done with 2-4 people as long as you know how to manage it. For starters, whenever he stealths, try to litter the area with AoEs to knock him out - more often than not, you'll get lucky, and he won't destealth until the spell expires, meaning free DPS on him. Secondly, use whatever damage mitigation abilities you have for Rip, because frankly, it hurts like hell.

Lastly, Ravage is his deadliest move, but it's also very easily interruptible with stuns and whatnot, and what's more is that it's a Meteor effect - simply stacking up with the person targetted with Ravage soaks up the damage amongst the group. So as long as you all stay stacked up on each other, damage should be kept to a minimum. In my opinion, he's the easiest of the three, simply because he doesn't require any more gimmicks besides the ones above.

Very easily soloable by Hunters.

Stay on top of him before he activates, to avoid getting one-shot at the start. When he stealths and moves away, follow him to avoid him leaping.
Ravage has a 20 second cooldown and appears he will only ever target you (rather than your pet) with it. Use Feign Death on the first, Scatter Shot on the second and then repeat.

I solo'd this Easily as a Windwalker Monk, it just takes proper use of Touch of Karma and Fists of Fury during Ravage and using Expel Harm to keep healed up as much as possible.Pop all CDS and BURN!

Ranged squishies (Priests and Mages) can safely sit on top of the fence and bombard the poor kitty with spells. He won't be able to Ravage, and won't Evade, either.

A word of advice: if you want to solo, make things easier on yourself by bringing a Druid along with you to spam-cast Tangle Roots and Hibernate. Keeps tigey sedated often enough to prove to be little trouble. Hibernate works well as it fully keeps sir-tiger from spamming ravage on nearby predators, and leaping if he suddenly breaks his roots. Also, unsure if they have different cast times or if one conserves more (possibly necessary) mana than the other. In any case, give it a try and see if you have any luck :).
Ahh seems hibernate has a quicker cast speed, does not eliminate Ravage issue to use roots, but they share same mana cost. so Hibernate is probably the best alternative
Edit: agh just went through the pain in the katuckus of soloing the son of a tiger on my boomkin, the rotation was as follows: Hibernate, wrath/starfire (depending on eclipse), starsurge in between, hibernate, rejuvenation, wrath/starfire, rinse repeat until dead. Nobody else wanted to help me, and I came to find out that after soloing the crab, no other daily 'npc-killed' quest was offered as a reward. Well that was a waste of my time killing somebody elses' tiger capture :3.Good luck, tiger-slayers!

I solo'd this as a protection warrior. Second Wind is basically required so if you haven't chosen that as your talent, you won't make it. Having Shockwave is also favourable because it is a stun with a relatively quick cooldown and you will need the stuns to survive Ravage. I'm a tauren so I also had great use of War Stomp. You can try and bandage when it stealths but it doesn't help much.
Try and gather up much rage before a Ravage and use Shield Barrier to absorb as much as the damage as possible. Shield Block won't work with Ravage as it is a spell and not a blockable attack.
The fight might also be easier if you have Impending Victory but personally I didn't have that talent.

Does anyone know if he can be tamed?
