The Alliance has Paladins, and the Horde has Shamans. This class harnesses the power of the elements to deal damage from up close, afar, or heal. Shaman is one of the most versatile classes in the game that just becomes better with the new runes in WoW Classic: Season of Discovery. However, before you can dual-wield weapons or summon healing rain, you need to find them. And, similar to other classes, you’ll need to face powerful foes and explore every corner of Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms to find these new skills.
Where To Find All Shaman Runes in WoW Classic: Season of Discovery
For the first time ever, Shamans can become tanks with the right runes. This is something new and exclusive to the latest season that provides a fun new way to play this class. Before doing that, though, you’ll need to get other skills and level up to face the challenges ahead.

One thing we loved about the Shaman runes in WoW Classic: Season of Discovery is how well-themed they are toward the fantasy of this class. From becoming one with lava to using lightning to defeat enemies, these quests are some of the most immersive we’ve seen. Now, we hope the second phase for this season brings even more fun missions and enemies to take on.
