So this one is a bummer. You go BM only to tame a spirit beast (because BM sucks otherwise as of cataclysm) you then tame a spirit mob, wih can take a looong time if you are unlucky or on a crowded server. Then when you get the good looking pet, it uses this awful crap of a ability. Sure it SEEMS good (really, does it? it basically removes the pets dash and charge spells) and then what happens? Your pet becomes very close to invisible.

Blizz, Do tell me what is the point of having a good looking pet when its invisible? You go through all of this, and you end up with not even seing your pet.

Also the spell text says "Lasts until canceled" however, the spell cant be canceled.

A Spirit Beast can use their healing ability while in Spirit Walk without breaking stealth. While it may or may not be useful, this is something to keep in mind!

I can't stand how this spell makes your pets look. I hope Blizzard will consider redoing it.

1. right click the ability on the pet bar (toggles off the auto-cast)
2. target a critter
3. click the "attack" button on your pet bar
4. ?
5. profit!

Is this ability really worth keeping on in PvE? I, along with many others, hate having an invisible pet. Another extremely annoying thing is that it takes them a very long time to reach the target... And if you get into combat while trying to sneak out of a cave, even if they are on passive, they slow way down and end up despawning due to distance.

I think I am going to toggle this off. I doubt I will see even a minor DPS loss.

This only really works well when followed with Blink Strike. The fact that the pet is blinking (more like Shadowsteping really) to the target means the slow movement speed is negated. For best results use a macro like this...

/cast Spirit Walk(Bonus Ability)
/cast Blink Strike

...and gain a 20% damage buff to every Blink Strike.

Comment by Alnair

This used to synergize really well with Blink Strike but Blink Strike no longer exists (having been redesigned as a passive ability),

However if you are BM you can still use this in combination with Kill Command as an opening attack.
