Druids also have it.
This gives me a chance to tell a PvP story while being shielded from accusations that I'm hijacking the thread.
Two nights ago, I was questing in northern Stranglethorn Vale. For those of you who haven't been there yet, it's an extremely quest rich area for low-to-mid 30's players of both factions -- especially now that the npc's at Nesingwary's Expedition will give quests to both factions. (That alone openned up an additional 18 quests for the Horde right there). With a large percentage of the player population in their 30's, the area is a total war zone on the PvP server. Whenever someone says they're going to turn in a quest at Nesingwary's Expedition, I always wish them, "God speed." Seriously, players of both factions, but especially the undermanned Horde, will organize massive raids on the camp just so that people can turn in their quests and get the quest followups.
Anyway, it was during one of the many skirmishes in the area that I was in a party who routed an alliance party. One of the last alliance players to die was a hunter, and after the hunter died all that was left was to kill the hunter's pet panther who kept fighting. I thought that was curious but joined my partymates in finishing it off. After that was done, my two partymates started to leave.
"Wait a second..." I thought. I selected the hunter's corpse, and everything seemed to check out. The life and mana were gone and it said "corpse" and everything. Still, I thought, it wouldn't hurt to check. So, I hit Shadow Word: Pain, and sure enough the icon appeared under the hunter's empty health and mana bars which still showed as a "corpse."
"This guy's not dead, guys" I told my partymates. I cast Mind Blast on the "corpse" and this time the hunter really died. Not bad. He *almost* fooled three people with that. Almost.
