Alliance · New combination in WoW Forever
High Order Skyborne Mage
High Order Skyborne Mage is new in WoW Forever, because the High Order Skyborne race itself is new. You start in Zephras Isle; your capital is Stormwind City.
Verdict
The Skyborne Mage is new in WoW Forever. Wind Blessed speeds up casting, Elemental Insight adds damage against elementals, and Read Leyline restores mana between pulls.

Read Leyline
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
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
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
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.
