Ghost Wolf + Area + Resto = FTW???Follow

I have been wondering if anyone has had any positive experiences in using Imp Ghost Wolf in the arenas?

I've read the arguments about the spell being dispellable, but I have used regular Ghost Wolf to gain early position in arenas. I often run past the other team, drop Grounding and Earthbind, then run off to gain a better position for healing/chain lightning.

I am currently 0/3/58 and am trying to decide if pulling 4 more talent points from Reto for Imp Ghost Wolf could help me gain some kind of advantage against Rogues/Warriors and all that nasty CC out there.

Thoughts?

2 reasons...

1> A Drenai on an Elephant is kind of a big target and tends to draw a lot of attention.

2> You can not cast while mounted. Ghost Wolf gives you the benefit of begining a cast/dropping a totem while shape shifted. Yes, this breaks the spell but it still avoids being stun locked on a mount (which has happened) and being unable to dismount and cast.

casting dismounts you automatically too.

Ghost Wolf is just for running away, it doesn't break CC like druid shifts do.

What a lot of people don't realize is, that by BEING in GW form to begin with, you prevent several forms of CC being used against you. Sure you can't break CC, but that is what your PVP trinket is for. Whenever you're on defense guarding with not a lot of support, shift to Ghost Wolf, which makes you immune to Sap, Repentence, Mind Control and Seduction, at the expense of making you vulnerable to only Fear Beast and Hibernate. Obviously the biggest benefit is preventing a Sap from a stealthed Rogue, allowing you to use your trinket to pull out of a Cheap Shot or Blind.

So if you see a Hunter, try to get in close and shift out with a Frost Shock before he uses Fear Beast, and and with Druids just shift out early enough that you don't get hit with Hibernate. I don't PVP a ton, but it's been rare that I've had any Beast CC spells used on me while I was in Ghost Wolf... most people just don't think to.


You can frustrate a Rogue to no end jumping around in different directions in Ghost Wolf... I've found it pretty amusing.

Just learn to deal that you're not getting away. If you wanna get away, reroll a druid =)
