Shaman · Enhancement · Row 5 of 7 · 2 ranks
NEW in Forever

Mental Quickness sits in row 5 of the Shaman Enhancement tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role. It can take up to 2 points. Max it fully, or put in a few points just to open the rows below.

New in Forever. This talent never existed in Classic, so don't go looking for an old version to compare. There is none.

What Mental Quickness does at each rank

A rank is one level of a talent. Every rank makes the effect a bit stronger. The list below uses the exact wording from the beta client, word for word.

  1. Rank 1: Increases your spell damage and healing by up to 15% of your Intellect.
  2. Rank 2: Increases your spell damage and healing by up to 30% of your Intellect.

How to reach Mental Quickness

Row 5 opens after you spend 20 points in the earlier Enhancement rows. Level 30 is the earliest you can pick up Mental Quickness.

Is Mental Quickness worth the points?

Every rank makes the effect stronger, so putting in a few points while leveling is totally fine. Max it when the final rank is the heart of your endgame build, or when you need it maxed to open the talents below. And if you only need it as a stepping stone, no shame in stopping early.

What it unlocks

Once Mental Quickness is maxed, it opens this talent deeper in the tree: Rage of the Farseer.
