Yes, the Wild Strikes effect is indeed designed to be raid-wide.
Understanding Wild Strikes' Reach
Previously, the Wild Strikes aura, which provides a beneficial effect similar to Windfury Totem, had a more limited application. Its reach was restricted solely to the Druid's party, affecting allies within a compact 20-yard range. This design meant that its powerful effect, crucial for enhancing melee group performance, only benefited a small subset of a larger raid group.
The Evolution to Raid-Wide Coverage
To significantly improve the accessibility and utility of this important buff, a change was implemented to expand its reach. The Wild Strikes aura now extends its benefits across the entire raid. This enhancement drastically increases its area of effect, providing the aura to all eligible raid members within an expansive 100-yard radius. This ensures that a much broader array of players can benefit from the effect, fostering better raid-wide synergy and damage output without requiring tight party positioning.
