Annoying little dog that doesn't work all to well at tracking anything but aggro. As with any uncontrolable summonable pet, it is set on aggressive and is willing to get you killed if its the cost of biting what ever is near.

Commentaire de 8088

dropped off Sm boss in the lowest level part.

Commentaire de Catalyze

I use my high level rogue to farm SM for BOE items and cloth for lower alt bandages and the AH. I get this item and just use it while I run SM. The dog will mindlessly aggro anything around it and get you killed in any packed area. I use it for fun since I am in no danger of dying no matter what he does. It would be fun for a priest or mage just to have a damage pet maybe....but it will get you killed easily in an instance.

You're better off selling this for the 60s.

Trust me.

Commentaire de wootang

could help while trying to solo insances tho :) (like if you were on a boss that was hard to solo)

This Summons a lvl 30 hound that is very good at agro-ing,not to be used in instances.Note that it can be used when lvl25 at that stage it would be very usefull

Commentaire de Bogcom

You will aggro guards if you blow this in a neutral city such as area 52

Commentaire de 71408

Triggers a 1min cooldown on Mechanical Yeti

Summons:
http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=9515
can't tell how many hitpoint but I'd guess under 1000 for sure
He is lvl 30 no matter what level you are and even on 31 raptors was hitting for only 1-3 per hit (with my 44 rogue and good melee stats)

Also worth noting, I stealth and let him agro on his own, after the raptor killed it, the raptor came after me even though I was still stealthed.

This thing will buy you a few second and a few hitpoints if you let him agro a target and then grab another one yourself. That's the only use I can imagine for it.

Commentaire de Spring

Oddly useful for Shade of Aran. That's one less frostbolt to heal through.

Commentaire de 116970

As of 2.4 this item is now Superior. I had in inv before 2.4 then log on after to see it changed to superior.

Commentaire de Magikz

This item was changed in the 2.4 patch. This item is now a "rare" item and will require confirmation before deleting it by typing in "delete".

Commentaire de 156296

I had boost to SM tonight and this dropped, I tried to use it and it runned every enemy in 'bout 20 yards and I get killed many times, but that damned dog survived every time!

Commentaire de 81465

Can a hunter have this and his normal pet out at the same time?

Commentaire de 187967

i found this to be useful as a warlock when given a quest to kill tabetha's summoned beast in the marsh. this pet plus voidwalker gave me the edge i needed to win

Commentaire de chadandjody

I dont care what the haters say, I like this little guy. Basically he's a vanity pet with an aggro problem. For a lv 70 its pretty easy to get from Scarlet Monestary.

Since BC (and even more so once WotLK gets here) a lot of people don't know about this pet since SM isnt visited as much. This does not show to other players as a pet but as a "guardian" which does make it a bit unique .

Commentaire de 178151

its useful when u get it at lvl 25. it saved my group when i was doing bfd and i used it to kill sharptalon in ashenvale.

Commentaire de Wisdomsword

Lol it's Cool and funny i love it. i let it loose and it owns!

Commentaire de 223563

Hmm, maybe it can be useful on bg 20-29.

Commentaire de 290685

I don't think it has charges anymore.

Commentaire de 297723

A lvl 30 hyena not too gd damage output though and dosent hav the ability Tendon Rip

Commentaire de Bluebearry

Seen yesterday that it didnt have any charges at all on it, just the cooldown...

Commentaire de Frogdog

Does 3 charges mean you can only use an item 3 times before you garbage it or it disappears? Or can it be repaired?

Commentaire de Melesmelda

Apparently, these are tameable! I cast Beast Lore on mine and it said that they are. I'm not sure if you could attack one on the opposing faction and try to tame it, but it's worth a try.

Commentaire de Abomb

does it scale with your lvl?

Commentaire de 544935

this is a great item to use on a roleplaying server. when your doing roleplay:)

who doesnt want a pet dog?:D

Commentaire de 528065

If you zone at all it will disappear

Commentaire de 582278

useless...

Commentaire de ArashikageClan

Becoming a trinket in Cata, making it much more useful (likely lol). Still has a 10 minute cooldown. No more charges.

Commentaire de 633348

With its new trinket status its probably going to be the most accessible low lvl pve trinkets.

Commentaire de RavenshireHS

Better yet, the dog doesn't go away if you replace the trinket. So you can summon him, then use the trinket slot for something better.

And maybe its just me, but the new tracking hound model is absolutely awesome!

Commentaire de Derren

please please, make it scale with level or at least hp scale!

Commentaire de Mightylink

Well with the change in Cataclysm theres some advantages, and disadvantages...

It no longer costs 3 charges but is now a trinket and can be used over and over. Also the cooldown is now 10min and the pet lasts 10min so you can keep it up forever or until it is killed then you have to wait for the next cooldown. However the pet no longer scales with level it will always remain a level 34 dog now so it becomes useless in higher levels. And the model has changed from a red hyena to a gilneas hound.

Commentaire de 307853

Hound has 582hp and hit for 30-44 damage w/ crits in the 51-81 range over a full SM Graveyard clear, it finished with 21 dps
Hound is defensive but does occasionally pull mobs - no pet bar :(
Hound can be healed/shielded/dispelled/cleansed but is incapable of receiving buffs

Commentaire de 697870

If you are standing still and turn he will move so that he is always behind you.

Commentaire de Arakos

Alright, I used this way back in vanilla, so this could be way out of date, but I haven't seen anyone comment on this.

When I used the tracking hound, it seemed like I could see stealthed enemies easier. It mostly happened while dueling rogues. I would duel a 60 rogue as a 60 mage, and I would bring this guy out. Nobody thinks anything of it, being such a low level, right? Well, while he was out, I could see the rogue from a very long range, almost outside of my own fireball's range. It pissed them off so much when I could polymorph them at max range while they were in stealth, and they couldn't figure out why. I think it might have had something to do with this dog, being a tracking dog, but of course, back when I did this, it had only a few charges, so I couldn't do a thorough testing. Anyone experience anything similar here, or am I just way off base? Also, if it did used to do that, does it still do it now, because now that it's a trinket, I would love to have this guy chilling with me on base defense in arathi basin or gilneas if so.

I may be way off though, because this seems like the kind of thing that would be pretty widely known by now if it was true. Maybe I'll pick one up later and test it out.

Commentaire de 182242

~~As a side note this is now (as of cataclysm) the first and only permanat combat pet item in the entire game.~~

I was wrong. As of cataclysm many pet combat items have been changed so the duration matches the cooldown.

Commentaire de Jollygood

I was in a guild run where the instance was red for my goblin's level. The dog was above her level when I got it, which actually helped her in other at-level runs. The dog should only be used for boss fights, once all the superfluous mobs are gone, since there are no controls.

There are few trinkets at low levels, especially ones with that "SQUEE!" factor, so I am enjoying this one.

When I get better trinkets, the dog will be relegated to an item of entertainment when she's crafting in Orgrimmar. The duration is equal to the cooldown, so in safe places, like towns, you can have her trotting around pretty much all the time. The animations are just like that of the other mastiffs you see in-game. (Floppy jowls, FTW!)

Commentaire de OtakuboyT

A couple of macros I use with this Hound.

Calling
#showtooltip
/say Release the Hound!
/use Dog Whistle

I use the Dog Whistle icon and with the macro the cooldown is shown.
A nice omage to Maître-chien Loksey's call once you fight him.....or Mr. Burns. Either way generally, get a few good LOLs from party members.
Feel free to try your own "call". "Sick 'em!" "I let the dog out....hoot hoot hoot"

Healing
/cleartarget
/target Tracking Hound
/cast Renew

This is the macro used on my Priest but fell free to use what ever spell you like I recommend something instant cast.
The Mend Pet icon from hunters works well here.

Commentaire de Rollheiser

Works in arena currently.

Commentaire de 734607

Grr... they changed it to a bulldog. Ick.

Commentaire de gajackson

Working on my 39 huntress, and don't mind sharing this:

AB, popping a noggenfogger for diminution, then in sit or lie position in cover to minimize profile. Cat is on stealth. Horn of the Traitor and/or Barov's Servant Caller are on standby (I use a fan mod of TrinketBar, which is currently working as of 4.2). Explosive trap & ice trap are set strategically, and both track hidden & flare are up.

Good luck getting onto my flag, when all hell breaks loose around you. (yes, if the hound is up, you *CAN* summon from Horn or BSC, and have all of them + your pet + the tracking hound up).

I have it now at 39, but so wish it had been set up like this back when I was in the 29 bracket . . . I'd now call this pretty much a must-have on any of my 29+ charas, once you learn it's foibles. Between this and the sweet EPL trinkets available, what more could you want? (minus camping Prince N, for the Tidal Charm, of course)

Cheers!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nov 2011 ~ Why is this getting downranked? It's fantastic now that it has no charges, and can be used with a pet or other summon trinket. Unless you have been bested in PvP/BG by a setup like this . . .

Commentaire de 892700

How many times can you use that whistle?
Thanks for answering

Commentaire de Destler

At level 85 the hound is level 34. But yes, it still annoyingly attacks anything that's enemy flagged.

Commentaire de gajackson

The hound doesn't level - it starts at 34, and stays there. So obviously getting at 29 - esp. if you plan on doing PvP - should be a priority.

The old version had 3 charges; this new version has none! The trinket itself, and the hound, have a 10-minute cooldown. If 10 minutes goes by, it yelps and dies, and you can summon another immediately.

Do note that it doesn't zone with you - so if you are queuing for a dungeon, don't pop it until you zone in; if it is with you at the end, you will lose it on zoning out/back, and will have to wait out the cd..

You do NOT have to keep the trinket equipped (which is why I use it with TrinketMenu) - you can summon & swap out trinkets to something else; again, there are a BUNCH of quest-available trinkets in EPL in the 30s.

A last note about aggro: although anyone CAN use it, it isn't controllable per se - so ranged will actually get the most/best use out of it, as a defender; melee types will find it will sometimes jump off/out on its own, pulling where/when it shouldn't. But for a warlock, hunter, distance-caster, healer . . . well worth it!

Commentaire de 921346

He will continue to follow you while you are mounted on your ground mount as well.

Commentaire de Derren

I really hope this still drop in MoP for low lvls

Please add the drop on the new houndmaster.

Commentaire de Faell

This item appears to no longer be obtainable in MoP.

Commentaire de Urgshnoff

Don't know if it's a glitch but the Tracking Hound is scaling with gear now. He has 99k health.

Commentaire de steelangel

I actually found this equipped on a hunter that I hadn't really played since mid-Wrath. The MoP version does not attack on its own; he kind of sits there lamely until I tell my pet to attack; then he will go with it.

Not as fun as it used to be, but it's a nice reminder of the old Houndmaster.

Commentaire de gajackson

Aug 2013

if you had it and banked it, you might be pleasantly surprised at the mechanics changes. I have it on a couple of characters, including a 39 huntress and a 64 DK.

for my huntress, it has over 2500 hp (and it stays level 34; as she is 39, it is ok - but oh! how I wish I had had it at 29!); almost as much as my normal pet..

In PvP I will keep my cat stealthed, and people mistake the Hound for my pet - then get pounced. In instances or questing, it stays in a semi defensive mode, attacking when I am attacked, and heeling/curbing when some kind of CC goes up. It taunts very effectively, but yes - it still will randomly aggro, just not as much/badly as before. Every 10 minutes, it dies - you can re-equip the trinket, re-summon, and unequip it (I use TrinketMenu fan-release addon for that one).

If you are ranged 29 - 39 (esp a twink!), pull it back out of the bank. Mend/feeding it does NOT work, but 'normal' healing & bandages do (as do cleanses and shields).

For my DK, the hound is still only level 34 . . . but at over 6k hp. I can't tell you how effective it is at much of anything (and I wish it were still the old scarlet tracking hound model), except it can still kill most non-elite mobs under 40 all by itself, and can still taunt effectively. The taunt situation I find useful, as it means often I or my geist will be targeting the back of the Hound's target. I haven't tried glyph of death coil yet to see if that will shield it.

Commentaire de Tokva

As of patch 5.4.3 i can confirm that this does work in arena.
It's a pretty useless bug, since standard trinkets will be alot more efficient, and the fact that you can't change your trinket once the arena started, makes it even more useless.

Commentaire de 423092

Just tried it out on my level 86 mage. While it's health was scaled to about 100k, it remained at level 30, and was effectively unable to hit anything level appropriate, so it seems it is essentially useless, other than perhaps to absorb some attacks.

Commentaire de 1071235

Having this on several 29s and it seems like he adjusts his level to my own. Not sure if he will addapt his level on higher levels. I am not going to level twinks. Maby I'll try this on the WoD ptr later.

A good note also is that he adjusts his health and damage now to your character and not to just only your base stats but also through your gear which makes this an awesome trinket to have @ 29!

Another thing is you can summon the dog and change trinkets without the dog being dismissed.

Glad I got this pre-nerf ;-)

Edit: Not sure why anyone would downvote this, this is accurate information on 04-09-2014. If you think the info I posted is not correct then leave a comment instead of just downvoting accurate information. I guess the ones who did this are jelly or f2p xD

Commentaire de Wuatdah

Please convert this into a toy, would be great to be able to summon a dog on all of my toons. :D

Commentaire de Jwow25

With the reintroduction of the old SM dungeons has anyone seen this drop yet? I haven’t seen it drop yet after multiple runs.

I’m hoping it’s just my bad luck or that it’s bugged. Hope they didn’t take it off the loot table when bringing it back :(

Commentaire de Cuffouis

50+ runs killing Maître-chien Loksey since the release of La Clé écarlate and all that has dropped is Gants de dressage de chien and Trique d'entraînement de Loksey.

Commentaire de Warondar

Blizzard! Give me back my Basker Hound! Don't want a red Heyna for a tracking dog.
