Increases Health and Mana regeneration by 50% for 15 sec. Using it near a ley line grants Attuned for 1 hour, raising Read Leyline's regeneration bonus to 100%.

Castable while moving. Cannot be used during Innervate; Innervate replaces this effect. Attuned survives death but is removed on entering a raid.

Wind Blessed

Damage to Elementals increased by 5%.

Playable classes

Class synergies

Likely benefits based on the documented racial effects.

Mage

Wind Blessed · Read Leyline

Wind Blessed adds 2% spellcasting haste. Read Leyline provides a 15-second regeneration boost; Attuned strengthens that boost but is removed on entering a raid.

Druid

Wind Blessed

Wind Blessed supplies both melee and spellcasting haste, so its documented bonuses are relevant to a Druid's melee and caster roles.

Hunter

Wind Blessed

Wind Blessed adds 2% ranged haste, directly supporting the Hunter's ranged attacks.

Sources Updated

Racials include Blizzard's October 27 updates. Spell ranks and costs were checked against Forever beta client 1.60.1.70707 and its hotfixes.

Class synergies are inferred from the interactions between racial effects and class abilities.
