Skyborne Shaman: the Horde side of the new race
Skyborne is the new race of WoW Forever, and its 2 halves take different classes. Windshapers join the 
Horde and can become 
Shaman; the High Order joins the 
Alliance and becomes 
Mages. A Skyborne Shaman is always a Windshaper, so always Horde.
In the story, Windshapers descend from the earliest shen’dorei high elves to receive the gift of elemental skysight from the wind spirits. A new generation leaves Skywall for Azeroth to learn what became of their missing elemental mentors.

Build your Starter Pack →The 4 Windshaper racials, with live numbers
| Racial | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Skysight | Active | 15% movement speed for 15 seconds, castable while moving; 30% while Charged |
| Walk on Air | Active | A glide down from high ground, back every 90 seconds |
| Wind Blessed | Passive | 2% haste |
| Elemental Insight | Passive | 5% more damage to Elementals |
Charged comes from using Skysight at an elemental convergence and lasts 1 hour. It survives death and drops when you enter a 
raid. The 2 November notes cut Wind Blessed to 2% haste from 3%, and the 15 October notes brought Walk on Air back every 90 seconds instead of every 2 minutes.
What the racials do for a Shaman
Wind Blessed works in every fight: 2% haste speeds up your spell casts and your melee swings alike. Elemental Insight counts only against Elementals, a monster type you meet in 
quest hubs and dungeons across the leveling route.
Skysight is your travel button. Cast it at an elemental convergence to become Charged, and for the next hour each Skysight doubles to 30% speed. Walk on Air turns a cliff into a shortcut: step off, glide down and skip the long path around.
Shaman totems and tools in WoW Forever
Blizzard’s Shaman update cuts the setup between pulls. Totems go down faster and last longer, weapon imbues last longer, and totem tracking, Call spells, Totemic Recall and Totemic Projection save re-casting.
The 15 October notes made Grace of Air, Strength of Earth, Windfury and Flametongue totems reach the whole raid, so your buffs cover every group in it. Raids open on 9 December.
Shaman is also open to 
Orc, 
Tauren and 
Troll on the Horde side, and to the 
Dwarf, new to the class, on the Alliance side. The WoW Forever Shaman guide compares them and walks through the 
talent trees.

Which spec to level a Skyborne Shaman with
Enhancement is the quickest way for most players to level alone: a 2-handed weapon and Shocks end an ordinary fight fast, and you heal yourself between pulls. In Forever, every Shaman can use 2-handed axes and maces without spending a talent. Elemental kills from range at a higher mana cost per fight, and Restoration is the spec dungeon groups look for.
Wind Blessed helps all 3 specs. Plan the talents in the WoW Forever talent calculator before you spend the points.
Leveling a Skyborne Shaman to 60
The climb from 1 to 60 is about 150 hours in game for our booster, who plays your character 12 hours a day, every day: 10 to 14 days in all. He follows the quest route through the new zones in order, with 1 clear of every dungeon on the way for its quest XP.
A free live stream shows 100% of the playtime, and we guarantee your account’s safety. Leveling yourself? The WoW Forever leveling guide gives the zone order, and the WoW Forever Skyborne guide covers the race from its start.
At 60: a pre-raid set before 9 December
Raids open on 9 December, and a Shaman who wants a spot needs gear for its spec before then. Our gear service runs the dungeons and quests that hold the pre-raid pieces for your spec at level 60, until every slot is filled.
