Increases the effects of your Mark of the Wild and Gift of the Wild spells by X%, and increases all of your total attributes by Y%.
Improved Mark of the Wild is a talent in the first tier of the DruidRestoration tree. In addition to greatly increasing the effect of the Mark of the Wild and Gift of the Wild spells, it also increases the druid's total strength, agility, stamina, intellect, and spirit by 1%/2%. Note that while the bonus to Mark of the Wild applies to everyone affected by the druid's Mark of the Wild, the passive increase to attributes only applies to the druid herself.
The passive 1/2% bonus to stats applies only to the druid, but is useful to all specs. Because it is a percentage instead of a flat number, it scales with your gear, ensuring it is always useful.
Tips and tactics
If there is more than one druid in a group and one of them has this talent, the druid who has Improved Mark of the Wild should do the buffing as all party members will benefit from this talent.
