Notes

• Only usable on beasts and dragonkin.
• Both Nature's Grace and Nature's Swiftness reduce the casting time of this spell.
• The "up to" in the duration is a maximum. Hibernate breaks early, randomly.

Tips and Tactics

• In a PvE setting, Hibernate gives druids a tremendous advantage as it allows you to take on beasts much more powerful than yourself. A good druid can kill an elite beast mob of his or her own level and even one or two levels higher given correct planning and timing.
• Used in combination with Soothe Animal and, where permitted, Flight Form, Hibernate makes the druid a wicked-awesome farming class.
• Hibernate can be used to help crowd control in instances where beasts or dragonkin are present.
• Like most CC, Hibernate doubles in function as a spammable counterspell: Even though the target will not remain asleep while players are beating on it, any of its abilities in progress (with a cast time) will be interrupted.
• In PvP, It is good to use against a Hunter's pet, a Druid in Feral forms, and a Shaman in Ghost Wolf form. However, due to its cast time, a good player would often shift out of form to prevent it from being used on them.
