An age of growth in a fleeting moment - such is the unbridled power of nature.^{TCGHoA 28}

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. 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 three 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.

• Spells that work with Nature's Swiftness are: Healing Touch, Regrowth, Rebirth, Wrath, Entangling Roots, Hibernate, Soothe Animal.

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.

Patch changes

• Hotfix (2009-04-23): "Nature's Swiftness should properly affect Rebirth. ^[1]"
  
• Patch 3.0.3 (2008-11-04): This ability will no longer give chances to trigger Omen of Clarity.
