Lore

Ancestral Healing was a shaman talent in World of Warcraft that improved the shaman's healing abilities. It was removed with Mists of Pandaria. Communication with the ancestors is a central aspect of shamanism, also reflected in Ancestral Spirit.

Trivia

Ancestral Healing was removed for selection in Arena on September 15, 2016^[2] but was reinstated on December 9, 2018.^[3]
