Been a long time since I trained taming. Did it to 120 when power scrolls first came out. Did it all manually. Before skill on jewelry, alacrity scrolls, and scrolls of transcendance. Oh, how I try to forget....and it worked, or maybe I just got old. Anyway......that is too high a skill to still be doing polar bears, IMHO. Drop your skill table at least 10 points across the board. The harder the tame, the better the gains. Have you tried the crystal ball of knowledge? When using that I move up the scale when it gets to optimum.
