=== Talents ===
 
* [[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 ===

==Tips and tactics==
 
* This spell gives you the opportunity to cast a spell without suffering [[Interrupt|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 [[Interrupt|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 (druid ability)|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 Justice]]d by a [[paladin]] may give you the edge to survive the encounter, especially if caught in caster form.
 
 
==Notes==
 
* Barkskin is undispellable.
 
* Barkskin is off the [[global cooldown]].
 
* Barkskin is usable in all forms, including [[Flight Form]] and [[Swift Flight Form]].
 
 
== Patch changes ==
 
*{{Patch 4.0.6|note=Barkskin is no longer dispellable.}}
 
*{{Patch 3.0.8|note=[[Shield Wall]], Barkskin, [[Guardian Spirit]], and [[Divine Protection]] are now off the [[Global Cooldown]].}}
 
*{{Patch 2.4.3|note=The cost of Barkskin is now reduced by [[Tree of Life Form]]. }}
 
*{{Patch 2.3.0|note=Barkskin cannot be used while under the spell effect of [[Cyclone]].}}
