Tips and Tactics

• Hibernate can be used to help crowd control in instances where beasts or dragonkin are present.
• 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.
• 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.
