Ancestral Knowledge increases the shaman's total Intellect by up to 10%. It will affect both Intellect from gear and from buffs such as Arcane Intellect . The bonus stack with the intellect increase from Blessing of Kings .
The talent is useful to shamans of all three specs, since the increase to intellect will provide a small boost to spell critical strike chance, maximum mana pool, and mana gained from effects like Mana Tide Totem and Replenishment . The additional intellect gained also works with talents like Mental Dexterity , Nature's Blessing , and Unrelenting Storm , effectively making those talents up to 10% more powerful.
Past changes Edit
Patch 3.0.2 (2008-10-14): Changed from a bonus to mana pool to a bonus to Intellect. Effect increased from 1/2/3/4/5% to 2/4/6/8/10%.
