Properties
Affects Intellect

Ancestral Knowledge was a Shaman talent in the Enhancement tree. It provided a passive bonus to the shaman's total Intellect.

Notes[]

Ancestral Knowledge increased the shaman's total Intellect by up to 10%. It would affect both Intellect from gear and from buffs such as Spell holy magicalsentry [Arcane Intellect]. The bonus stacked with the intellect increase from Spell magic greaterblessingofkings [Blessing of Kings].

The talent was useful to shamans of all three specs, since the increase to intellect would provide a small boost to spell critical strike chance, maximum mana pool, and mana gained from effects like Spell frost summonwaterelemental [Mana Tide Totem] and Spell magic managain [Replenishment]. The additional intellect gained also worked with talents like Spell nature bloodlust [Mental Dexterity], Spell nature natureblessing [Nature's Blessing], and Spell nature unrelentingstorm [Unrelenting Storm], effectively making those talents up to 10% more powerful.
