Spirit of the Alpha

This is one of several client rows named Spirit of the Alpha, not the player ability. Looking for the spell you cast? See Spirit of the Alpha →

Spirit of the Alpha is unchanged in WoW Forever: the client ships the same tooltip as Classic Era. Its tooltip reads: "Gain the Spirit of the Alpha ability: Infuses the target with the spirit of an alpha wolf, increasing all threat generated by the target by 45% for 30 min. Limit 1 target. If cast on a target other than self, the Shaman also gains Loyal Beta, increasing Physical damage done by 5% and reducing all threat generated by 30% for 30 min. A target cannot have both Spirit of the Alpha and Loyal Beta at the same time."

Spirit of the Alpha tooltip, the same in Classic Era and WoW Forever

The same tooltip in both clients: every line the Forever client ships matches Classic Era.
