Skyborne
Both factionsThe new race, from Zephras Isle. One ancestry, two factions, and the faction choice decides a class and a racial.




Active racials
Glide downward through the air for 10 seconds.
Windshapers receive an Elemental Blessing increasing run speed by 10%. High Order draw on a ley line for 10% health and mana regeneration — 30 seconds if none is found, 15 minutes if one is.
Passive racials
1% increased melee, ranged and spellcasting haste.
Damage against Elementals increased by 5%.
What Skyborne is actually good at
Wind Blessed is 1% haste that is never wasted on any class or spec, and Elemental Insight is a live damage increase rather than a levelling curiosity. Skyborne also start in their own level 1–12 zone on Zephras Isle.
