WoW SoD: All Major Rune Changes In Phase 4 (& What They…

World of Warcraft is still going strong after almost 20 years of being available for players to play. In those 20 years, the game has seen countless updates and revisions to make the game the best that it can be. One thing that Blizzard has started doing with the game is they have recreated the classic versions of older expansions under the title World of Warcraft Classic. This has allowed for players to experience those older expansions again.

A major part of the classical version of the game is the addition of the Season of Discovery, which just adds new content into older WoW to keep players playing the classic version while having something fresh and new. Recently, Phase 4 of SoD was released, and with it came some changes to the many Runes that are in the game. Here is a breakdown of the Rune changes that happened after Phase 4 went live.
