[[Category:druid abilities]][[Category:druid abilities]]

Symbiosis is a druid ability, available at level 87. Casting the spell creates a symbiotic link between the druid and the friendly target, granting each the use of a new ability, appropriate to the other's class.

Notes

  • Abilities granted are determined by the receiving character's combat role (as determined by specialization) and the other character's class. A character's combat role does not therefore affect which ability is received by the other player.
  • Lasts for 1 hour and persists through death.
  • Abilities granted by this item will appear in the character's spellbook, in the tab corresponding to their current specialization. From there, players can drag the abilities to an action bar.
  • When the buff expires, the new ability will be replaced with the dummy ability 'Symbiosis'. This is a placeholder ability that has no effect (although using it will still cause your character to dismount). If you regain the Symbiosis effect, this placeholder will transform into the new ability.
  • The buff cannot be dispelled, spellstolen, or cancelled by the receiving player.
  • Although based on abilities of the corresponding class, abilities granted through Symbiosis may differ substantially from the originals.
  • The symbiosis effect is also obtainable through Inv relics idolofhealth [Overgrown Lilypad], although the effect is limited to the user and is only available in Pandaria.
