The Skyborne Hunter is new in WoW Forever. Wind Blessed speeds up Auto Shot, Elemental Insight helps on elementals, and Skysight makes kiting easier.

Racial abilities
From the WoW Forever client, with values at level 60. Hover or tap an icon for the in-game tooltip.
Skysight
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
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.
