Magic Nature's Swiftness Your next Regrowth, Rebirth, or Entangling Roots is instant, free, castable in all forms, and heals for an additional 100%.

An age of growth in a fleeting moment - such is the unbridled power of nature.

Nature's Swiftness is a Restoration druid ability. This ability, when activated, causes the next [Entangling Roots], [Healing Touch], [Rebirth], or [Regrowth] to be instant, heal more, and have a longer duration. For example, activating Nature's Swiftness and then casting [Healing Touch] will instantly cast a heal without that spell's normal 2.5 second casting time, and increase the amount healed by 50%. Nature's Swiftness does not affect channeled spells.

Notes

• After activating Nature's Swiftness, a buff appears indicating the next cast will be instant. This buff will remain indefinitely until the effect is used, or until the player dies. The one minute cooldown will not begin until this buff is consumed.
• Nature's Swiftness buff can be dispelled / stolen.
• Activating this ability does not trigger the global cooldown.

In World of Warcraft: Trading Card Game.

Tips and tactics

• This spell can be very helpful when you need to cast an emergency heal spell.
• Making a spell instant is an excellent workaround to counterspell effects and pushback.
• Instant cast of [Entangling Roots] can be useful to escape melee based opponents, or in battle ground to stop flag runners.
• Nature's Swiftness can be dispelled or spellstolen. Because Nature's Swiftness doesn't trigger the global cooldown it can be used in macros to cast and instantly consume it to prevent this.
