Just today, WoW Classic SoD Phase 4 was officially released. Since PTR, players have discovered many new runes that make each class very different. Currently, each class will have three new runes available.

Runes can be placed in your equipment slots and provide powerful passive effects to your character. But will these new rune changes make your class easier or more difficult? This guide only introduces you to these new runes, which require you to explore them yourself in WoW Classic SoD Phase 4. Let time prove it.

Druid

Improved Swipe

When in cat form, you can increase your swipe ability; while swiping in bear form can increase damage by 100% and hit 3 additional targets.

Tree of Life

When activating this rune, you will reduce the mana consumption of all continuous healing skills by 20%, and increase the healing received by friendly forces by 10%. In addition, it increases Druid’s spirit by 25% and Druid’s armor by 200%.

Starfall

When you use Starfall, you can summon up to 20 meteor showers over 10 seconds, dealing Arcane damage to enemies within 30 yards of you. There is a 90-second cooldown while using this passive, and CC effects, mounting, and shapeshifting are canceled.

Hunter

Improved Volley

While activating this passive, you will increase the mana cost of Volley by 50%, but the cooldown of this skill will be reduced and it will no longer be affected by the enemy’s counterattack wave. In addition, Volley will deal an additional 3% ranged damage each time.

Resourcefulness

While this passive is active, you will greatly reduce the mana cost of Reduces, up to 100%, and the cooldown will be reduced by 40%.

It fires a Fire Blast that can deal critical hits. Best of all, it can be cast with other spells and is not affected by the global cooldown.

Frozen Orb

It fires a spinning orb of ice from where you stand, and you have a 16-second fast movement time. While moving, the orb deals Frost damage to all enemies it passes by, and casts a frost effect that slows them down by 30%. Additionally, the first time this enemy is damaged by you, not only will their movement speed slow down, but they will also trigger Fingers of Frost rune.

Paladin

Shield Of Righteousness

In addition to blocking damage, the shield can be used to slam the target, dealing Holy damage based on your defense, and an additional 214 damage.

Priest

Binding Heal

This effect heals you and your allies, and has a very low threat. This spell benefits primarily from Flash Heal, and also increases all of Flash Heal’s effects.

This is your Power Word. During this effect, your shield no longer has a cooldown, costs 15% less mana, and even gains 15% more base value. The most exciting thing is that you will gain 50% more healing.

It will cause Shadow damage to the target enemy for 15 seconds, and also make all your party members gain 2% of Shadow damage as mana.

Rogue

Blunderbuss

This skill will fire a blast of muskets at 4 enemies in a cone in front of you, causing a lot of Physical damage.

Crimson Tempest

This is also a finishing skill that you can choose to end the game. It can directly cut enemies within eight yards, causing them to lose health continuously. The longer it lasts, the more damage it will cause per combo point. In addition, you can also benefit from all talents and effects of Rupture or modify Rupture.
