==Things you can do in Ghost Wolf form==
 
*Move 40% faster (The Enchant Boot - Minor Speed enchant has no effect on Ghost Wolf speed)
 
*Attack with a bite attack (damage and attack speed depend on what weapon the shaman has equipped) even if you have 1 weapon skill in wolf form you will have full skill.
 
*Become hard to see by other players (though this won't affect aggressive [[mobs]]).
 
*Your ability to loot, skin, and gather herbs remains usable.
 
*Carry the flag in Warsong Gulch.
 
*Do a silly dance! (/dance)
 
 
== Improvements ==
 
* [[Improved Ghost Wolf]] will reduce the cast time of your Ghost Wolf by 1 or 2 seconds. Fully talented, this will make your Ghost Wolf spell instant cast.
 
* {{item|Glyph of Ghost Wolf}} allows your Ghost Wolf form to regenerate an additional 1% of your maximum health every 5 sec.
 
 
==Tips and Tactics==
 
* Ghost Wolf regenerating 1% of your maximum health every 5 sec.
 
* Ghost Wolf is treated as a magical buff and thus can be dispelled by [[priest]]s, [[hunter]]s, a [[felhunter]] or another [[shaman]].
 
* Ghost Wolf doesn't make you [[Immune]] to [[Polymorph]]. Some players still believe it does.
 
* Ghost Wolf changes your type to Beast.
 
** You're vulnerable to abilities targeting Beasts such as [[Track Beasts]], [[Scare Beast]], or [[Hibernate]].
 
** You're immune to abilities targeting Humanoids, such as [[Mind Control]] or [[Track Humanoids]].
 
* There are four PvP rewards which further increase the speed by +15% speed when in ghost wolf form. (will not work for players above level 60)
 
**{{item|General's Mail Boots}}
 
**{{item|Marshal's Mail Boots}}
 
**{{item|Blood Guard's Mail Greaves}}
 
**{{item|Knight-Lieutenant's Mail Greaves}}
 
* If [[Rockbiter Weapon]] has been cast prior to becoming a wolf and the shaman keeps that weapon equipped, it will significantly increase the damage done with each bite.
 
*Ghost Wolf can't be cast in indoor areas.
 
*Passive abilities from Weapons and Items and [[proc]]s are not active.
 
*Certain [[buff]]s from [[Alchemy|potions]] and some spells disappear.
 
*Some weapon buffs' effect are not active (like [[Flametongue Weapon]], [[Windfury Weapon]], and [[Frostbrand Weapon]].
 
*In Ghost Wolf, your standard [[Unarmed]] [[DPS]] is reduced.
 
*In Ghost Wolf, the caster can't:
 
**Cast any spells.
 
**Use any [[skills]].
 
**Use any non-gathering [[professions]] or mining.
 
**Enter any indoor areas (the player automatically changes back to humanoid form).
 
 
== Patch changes ==
 
* {{Patch 3.2.0|note=Can now be learned at level 16. While in this form, snaring effects may not bring the shaman below base normal run speed.}}
