High Order Skyborne are the Alliance's premium race, and premium is literal. Wind Blessed is a genuinely good passive, but no racial here wins a raid spot by itself. Buy the race because you want it, not because you need it.

Skyborne paywall: this race requires the Skyborne Hero Pack or higher to play. Their racials are strong on paper, but they sit behind a real-money purchase, so they get flagged every time they show up below.
