Nature's Swiftness (druid ability)

Nature's Swiftness is a Druid ability from the Restoration tree. This ability, when activated, causes the next nature spell with a casting time less than 10 sec to be instant. For example, activating Nature's Swiftness and then casting Healing Touch will instantly cast a heal without that spell's normal 3 second casting time, and increase the amount healed by 50%. Nature's Swiftness does not affect channeled spells.

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.
 * Instantly casting Cyclone on a single opponent is often preferable to instantly healing yourself as it is possible to cast two or more spells in the duration of a cyclone.
 * 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.
 * Using Nature's Swiftness with hibernate is an excellent way to incapacitate a feral druid in PVP, or a shamman in Ghost Wolf form acting as a runner in WG. Remember that in a hectic battle allies may not recongnize hibernate as a strandard CC and attack the sleeping druid.
