Notes

• If it is resisted, you will aggro the target. Spell hit rating gear or talents may help prevent this.
• Only usable on beasts.
• Both Nature's Grace and Nature's Swiftness can reduce the casting time of this spell.

Tips and tactics

• This spell can be cast on a beast with stealth detection and will allow a rogue to Sap a nearby mob. This has been confirmed to work on the hellhounds in Hellfire Ramparts.

• You can use this ability on mobs that patrol around a resource node (herb or mineral) and it will allow you time to gather and retreat; unlike Hibernate which will make you enter combat once the sleep wears off. If possible, enter Flight Form after casting Soothe to better your escape.

• This can be used to prevent chain pulls if two beasts are close together. Cast on the undesired add before pulling. Some mobs have a combined aggro field and cannot be separated this way.

• Another use is to mark targets for Hibernate, similar to how some mages once marked targets to be polymorphed with Detect Magic, prior to its removal from the game.
