Ability druid prowl
  • Prowl
  • Stealthed.
A druid's mimicry of a rogue's stealth is the sincerest form of battery.[1]

Prowl is a druid's stealth ability. It must be active to enable Ability druid ravage [Ravage].

Improvements[]

Tips and tactics[]

  • When coupled with abilities such as Ability druid ravage [Ravage], Prowl is a powerful opener to combat.
  • Night elves can switch from Prowl to Ability ambush [Shadowmeld] without being seen "in between". Since patch 4.0.6 they can also switch from Ability ambush [Shadowmeld] to Prowl directly as Ability ambush [Shadowmeld] can be used in Bear Form and Cat Form without shapeshifting into caster form.
  • It is possible to Ability druid dash [Dash] while Prowling, for a total of 105% standard running speed.
  • Prowl makes stealth runs possible, but watch out for stealth-detecting mobs!
