Hi, I'm many of you did not realize that Dog Whistle - Item - World of Warcraft is actually usable in arena.
It will summon guardian dog which will help you fight targets that are attacking you.
How is this useful?
Well I am a Disc Priest, I summon my dog and try to get as many divine aegis stacks before the match starts then chuck a shield on it. This can be 80k damage absorb for 15 seconds if you get a stack right as the match starts.
So the other team see's this dog and they don't know what it is, they want to kill it because they see it only has 500 health. They try and kill it but it is absorbing all their damage so they give up at the start and your dog is free to attack
the whole match without being killed.
1. This can keep people in combat. Stop rogues re stealthing, stop people drinking, stop them mounting
2. While they try to kill the dog you get them off guard
3. That little bit of pushback on people casting can really help!
4. If all 3 of you on your 3s team have dogs out, when a fear bomb comes it can only fear 5 targets. so it might fear 3 dogs and only 2 players and only 1 player if you have another pet
So ye if you're a priest just chuck a shield on it every time you can to prevent it dying.
IMPORTANT!!!
You can use the trinket then equip back on your other PVP trinket and the dog will still be out, so you would be crazy not to take this advantage.
