  • Read Leyline

    Read Leyline

    Active2 min cooldownNew in Forever

    Attempt to tap into the power of a nearby leyline, increasing your Health and Mana regeneration by 50% for 15 sec. If a leyline is nearby, you will become Attuned for the next 1 hr and the effect of this ability will be increased by 100%.

    Half again as much Health and Mana regeneration for 15 sec, twice that next to a leyline. It mostly saves eating and drinking time while leveling; healers and casters get the most from the mana part.

  • Walk on Air

    Walk on Air

    Active90 sec cooldownNew in Forever

    Glide downward through the air for 10 sec while controlling your direction of travel.

    A controlled glide for 10 sec on a 90 sec cooldown. No combat value, but it turns cliffs into shortcuts and saves corpse runs after falls.

  • Elemental Insight

    Elemental Insight

    PassiveNew in Forever

    Damage dealt versus Elementals increased by 5%.

    5% more damage against Elementals. That covers most of Molten Core, Hyjal, and the elemental mobs of Silithus, Burning Steppes and Azshara.

  • Wind Blessed

    Wind Blessed

    PassiveNew in Forever

    Increases your spellcasting, melee, and ranged Haste by 2%.

    A permanent 2% haste on spells, melee and ranged attacks. Small, but it never runs out, so every damage spec and every healer profits.

Race description from the game

The High Order is made up of the descendants of the ancient Highborne scholars of Eldre'Thalas. When the wind spirits disappeared from Zephras Isle, the High Order realized that the Skyborne's utter dependence upon their elemental patrons had left them dangerously vulnerable. A new generation of High Order has now been called upon to return to Azeroth to reclaim the arcane knowledge that they have lost, and use that power to ensure that the shen'dorei have the self-reliance to survive on their own.
