  +
* Ghost Wolf regenerating 1% of your maximum health every 5 sec.
  +
* Ghost Wolf is treated as a magical buff and thus can be dispelled by [[priest]]s, [[hunter]]s, a [[felhunter]], or another [[shaman]].
  +
* Ghost Wolf can be [[Spellsteal|spellstolen]] by a [[mage]], though the mage won't take the morph effect, he/she will just dispel the buff.
  +
* Ghost Wolf doesn't make you [[immune]] to [[Polymorph]]. Some players still believe it does.
  +
* Ghost Wolf changes your type to Beast.
  +
** You're vulnerable to abilities targeting Beasts such as [[Track Beasts]], [[Scare Beast]], or [[Hibernate]].
  +
** You're immune to abilities targeting Humanoids, such as [[Mind Control]] or [[Track Humanoids]].
  +
* There are four PvP rewards which further increase the speed by +15% speed when in ghost wolf form. (will not work for players above level 60)

* If [[Rockbiter Weapon]] has been cast prior to becoming a wolf and the shaman keeps that weapon equipped, it will significantly increase the damage done with each bite.

  +
*In Ghost Wolf, your standard [[Unarmed]] [[DPS]] is reduced.
  +
*In Ghost Wolf, the caster can't:
  +
**Cast any spells.

**Use any [[skills]].

**Enter any indoor areas (the player automatically changes back to humanoid form).
