  • Skysight

    Skysight

    Active2 min cooldownNew in Forever

    Attempt to draw power from a convergence of elements and receive its blessing, increasing your movement and mounted movement speeds by 15% for 30 sec. If an elemental convergence is nearby, you will become Charged for the next 1 hr and the effect of this ability will be increased by 100%.

    15% faster on foot and mounted for 30 sec, 30% when you are Charged near an elemental convergence. A travel and kiting tool: shorter leveling runs, faster flag carries and easier chases in PvP.

  • 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 Windshapers are the descendants of the first shen'dorei high elves to receive the wind spirits' gift of elemental skysight. A new generation of Windshapers is called to Azeroth from their home within Skywall to solve the mystery of what became of their missing elemental mentors, and will stop at nothing to see the wind spirits restored and their way of life preserved.
