Tips

  • For PvP, you may wish to save sprint mostly for chasing down your fleeing enemies, especially once you get Blind and Vanish.
  • In PvE, sprint provides a very useful "get out of jail free" card, especially when combined with Improved Sprint.
  • The Sprint functionality is identical to the effects of the Swiftness Potion created with the Alchemy skill, except the potion will break stealth.
  • Use Sprint to quickly close the distance on enemies that are trying to snare you or otherwise keep their distance. Especially useful against hunters and mages who've just blinked away.
  • Use Sprint in combination with Improved Sprint and Preparation to become a formidable flag carrier in Warsong Gulch.
  • Use Sprint to beat everyone else to that mining node, herb or treasure chest.
  • If you're sure you won't be fighting much on the trip, Sprint can be used before level 20 to help cover long distances.
  • If you're making a Bank Alt, and don't mind leveling it to 10, then picking a Rogue can save you a lot of time running from the Auction House to the mailbox because of Sprint.

Notes

Patch 3.0.2 reduced its cooldown from 5 minutes to 3.
