Mage Runes

The Mage class is known for its powerful spells and arcane abilities. In the Season of Discovery, Mages will have access to a variety of new Runes that augment their abilities. Let's take a look at some of them:

  • 1. Rewind Time (Gloves Slot)

This Rune allows Mages to instantly heal their current target with their Temporal Beacon, reversing all damage taken over the last 5 seconds. This is particularly effective against targets that had a Temporal Beacon 5 seconds ago.

  • 2. Enlightenment (Chest Slot)

Mages who have more than 70% mana will deal 10% more damage with this Rune. Additionally, when their mana falls below 30%, they will continue to regenerate 10% of their mana while casting spells.

  • 3. Living Bomb (Gloves Slot)

With this Rune, Mages can turn their target into a Living Bomb, causing it to take Fire damage over time. After 12 seconds or when the spell is dispelled, the target will explode, dealing damage to all enemies nearby.

  • 4. Arcane Blast (Gloves Slot)

This powerful Rune allows Mages to blast their target with Arcane energy, dealing damage. Each time Arcane Blast is cast, the damage and healing of all other Arcane spells are increased, but the mana cost of Arcane Blast also increases. This effect can stack up to 4 times.

  • 5. Ice Lance (Gloves Slot)

Mages can use this Rune to deal Frost damage to an enemy target. It causes triple damage against Frozen targets, making it a devastating ability in the right circumstances.

Druid Runes

Druids, the masters of nature, will also have access to new Runes in the Season of Discovery. These Runes will enhance their abilities and allow them to better protect and heal their allies. Let's take a closer look:

  • 1. Survival of the Fittest (Chest Slot)

With this Rune, Druids have a reduced chance of being critically hit by melee attacks and also take less damage overall. The damage reduction is further increased while in Bear Form or Dire Bear Form.

  • 2. Starsurge (Legs Slot)

This Rune allows Druids to launch surging stellar energies at their target, dealing Arcane damage. Starsurge benefits from and triggers most talents and effects associated with Wrath or Starfire.

  • 3. Sunfire (Gloves Slot)

While in Bear Form, Cat Form, or Dire Bear Form, Druids can use this Rune to burn their enemies with Nature damage. This ability replaces Moonfire and has additional effects associated with Moonfire.

  • 4. Lacerate (Gloves Slot)

Druids can use this Rune to lacerate their enemy target, causing them to bleed over time. The damage stacks up to 5 times, making it a powerful ability to generate threat and deal damage.

  • 5. Wild Growth (Gloves Slot)

This Rune allows Druids to heal all party members within a 15-yard range of their target. The healing is applied quickly at first and then slows down, making it an efficient way to heal multiple allies at once.

Priest Runes

As masters of light and shadow, Priests will have access to Runes that enhance their healing and damage-dealing abilities. These Runes will allow Priests to heal their allies more effectively and deal more damage to their enemies. Let's explore them:

  • 1. Penance (Gloves Slot)

Priests can use this Rune to unleash a volley of holy light at their target, dealing damage to enemies or healing allies instantly and over time.

  • 2. Mind Sear (Gloves Slot)

This Rune causes an explosion of shadow magic around the enemy target, damaging all enemies within range for a duration of time.

  • 3. Circle of Healing (Gloves Slot)

Priests can use this Rune to heal all party members within a 15-yard range of their target. It is a powerful AoE healing ability that can save the entire party from dangerous situations.

  • 4. Shadow Word: Death (Gloves Slot)

With this Rune, Priests can inflict significant Shadow damage to their target. If the target is not killed, the caster takes damage equal to the damage inflicted on the target.

Warlock Runes

Warlocks, masters of dark magic, will have access to Runes that enhance their destructive abilities and empower their demonic minions. Let's take a look at some of the new Warlock Runes:

  • 1. Lake of Fire (Chest Slot)

This Rune enhances the Warlock's Rain of Fire ability, leaving behind a Lake of Fire that increases all Fire damage dealt by the Warlock and their Demon pet to affected enemies.

  • 2. Master Channeler (Chest Slot)

With this Rune, the Warlock's Drain Life ability is no longer channeled. Instead, it lasts for a duration, has a cooldown, costs more mana, and heals the Warlock for a greater amount each time it deals damage.

  • 3. Soul Siphon (Chest Slot)

This powerful Rune increases the amount drained by the Warlock's Drain Life and Drain Soul abilities for each Warlock Shadow effect afflicting the target.

  • 4. Demonic Tactics (Chest Slot)

With this Rune, the Warlock and their pet gain increased melee and spell critical strike chance. It is a powerful Rune that enhances the Warlock's damage output.

Warrior Runes

Warriors, the masters of melee combat, will have access to Runes that enhance their attacks and make them more formidable on the battlefield. Let's explore some of the Warrior Runes:

  • 1. Flagellation (Chest Slot)

This Rune grants a bonus to the Warrior's physical damage for a duration of time after activating Bloodrage or Berserker Rage. It makes the Warrior even deadlier in combat.

  • 2. Blood Frenzy (Chest Slot)

With this Rune, each time the Warrior deals Bleed damage, they gain rage, allowing them to use more powerful abilities. It is a great Rune for generating rage and dealing sustained damage.

  • 3. Raging Blow (Chest Slot)

Warriors can use this Rune to unleash a ferocious strike that deals weapon damage. It can only be used while the Warrior is in an enraged state, making it a devastating finishing move.

  • 4. Warbringer (Chest Slot)

This Rune allows the Warrior to use their Charge, Intercept, and Intervene abilities while in combat. It also removes movement impairing effects, making the Warrior more mobile in battle.

These are just a few examples of the new Runes that will be available in WoW Classic - Season of Discovery. Each class will have a unique set of Runes that will enhance their abilities and change the way they play. We can't wait to see how these new Runes will impact the gameplay and strategies in the upcoming season. Get ready to discover a whole new world of possibilities!
