Note: This spell was removed from the game in patch 6.0.2 for being too complex\/convoluted.\u00a0 Considering that I was able to make an entire blog post just out of explaining what one single spell did, I think this is a reasonable claim.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Symbiosis<\/strong> <\/a>is a new ability granted to the Druid class in Mists of Pandaria.\u00a0 When cast on another player by a Druid, both players are given access to one of each other’s spells for an hour, depending on both the druid’s spec and the recipient’s role.\u00a0 The spells exchanged are not exactly<\/em> like their original forms, but are similar (read the tooltips for details).\u00a0 Both players still retain their granted abilities, as well (eg, you don’t lose spell reflect just because the druid gained it).<\/p>\n

Because I often see people who aren’t sure what class or spec grants what (both the giver and recipient’s specs influence what abilities are exchanged) — including many druids — I thought I would offer a summary for people to use as a reference.\u00a0 I have sorted by class for convenience:<\/p>\n

\nAs a tip:\u00a0 The new abilities will appear in their owner’s spellbooks under the name of the ability itself, not<\/em> under “Symbiosis.”\u00a0 If you put the gained ability on your action bar, it will stay there even when you do not have the buff for future (when you do not have the buff, it will say Symbiosis instead of the ability name on your bars), which can be helpful if you receive it regularly in your raid or because your spec grants a particularly appealing ability to druids in return.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
