Levitate is a priest utility spell that allows the target to levitate, reducing the rate of fall and allowing on-foot travel over water and water-like surfaces. Levitate cannot be cast upon mounted targets, and mounting will cancel the effect, as will any damage.

Although not obviously the most useful of spells, players have found a wide variety of uses for Levitate, be it in combat, for traveling or simply for entertainment.

Notes

  • In areas where flying is prohibited, such as battlegrounds, Levitate can be used to cross great distances by launching oneself off of a cliff or edge.
  • Levitate breaks on damage, causing the levitating character to immediately fall.
  • Levitate can be used to fish in the middle of larger bodies of water, or to eat and drink above the water's surface.
  • Levitate can only be cast upon players in your raid or party.
  • Levitate cannot be cast on mounted players. Casting Levitate while mounted will cause you to dismount.
  • In the Stonecore dungeon, priests can use Levitate to protect against Crystalspawn Giants' Quake ability. This usage may be a reference to the Float spell from the Final Fantasy series, which had a similar effect.
