You can see a Fatigue region when the ocean floor seems to slope downward endlessly. It also serves as a natural boundary enclosing zones. It can be used, for example, to access graveyards that are meant to inaccessible without a flying mount.įatigue exists to prevent players from straying too far from land and reaching areas that are unfinished. This quirk can be useful for exploration, as the second 'death' as a ghost breaks the ghost's association with its current graveyard and instead binds the player to the graveyard closest to the point where the ghost 'died' of fatigue. The Fatigue damage can be seen in the Combat Log.įatigue also affects players in ghost form, as the player who is attempting to navigate as a ghost will simply die once more as a ghost (and inflict a second durability penalty) and have to return to their body or resurrect at the Spirit Healer. Hunter pets seem to be affected by Fatigue as well however, they display no Fatigue bar to show their weariness.

Players may swim back toward shallower waters to refill the fatigue bar and avoid death. swimming on the surface, diving, water walking or even flying over a Fatigue region will cause this). The Fatigue bar and Fatigue damage occurs regardless of the player's depth.

It behaves similar to the Breath bar the bar will deplete over time (the Fatigue bar depletes much faster than the Breath bar, it matches the rate at which the Breath bar originally depleted), and will deal damage to the player when it reaches zero. When the depth of the water reaches a certain point, swimming in the region causes a Fatigue bar to appear, which displaying a player's weariness. Fatigue is a condition that affects any character travelling through or over water that is too deep, such as the oceans surrounding the continents.Ĭlose to land, the ocean floor is generally not very far below sea level, and it can usually be seen from the surface at greater distances from the shore, the floor recedes deeper and deeper.

Wow thats a lot of damage
