Improvements Edit

Talents Edit

• Brambles causes attacks against you while Barkskin is active to have a 5%/10%/15% chance to daze the target.
• Improved Barkskin, grants 80/160% additional armor while in Travel Form or while not shapeshifted, increases the damage reduction granted by your Barkskin spell by 5/10% and reduces the chance your Barkskin is dispelled by 35/70%.

Glyphs Edit

Tips and tacticsEdit

• This spell gives you the opportunity to cast a spell without suffering pushback.
• This spell is especially useful for casting Tranquility and Hurricane, as they are very expensive, and Tranquility in particular has a long cooldown. Even though you can still be interrupted by counterspell mechanics, Barkskin will allow the full duration of the spell to take place in lieu of damaging attacks.
• Barkskin has no global cooldown, so you can add it into macros to cast it automatically when using the aforementioned skills, or any other combination, such as Frenzied Regeneration or Enrage.
• If you main tank Sartharion with drakes up, Barkskin will enable you to take Flame Breaths that would otherwise one shot you.
• In PvP, using Barkskin when Cheap Shot or Kidney Shot by a rogue or Hammer of Justiced by a paladin may give you the edge to survive the encounter, especially if caught in caster form.

NotesEdit

• Barkskin is off the global cooldown.
• Barkskin is usable in all forms, including Flight Form and Swift Flight Form.
