The Hunter is one of the best classes in WoW Classic, and they just get better with the new runes introduced in Season of Discovery. Some of them increase the Hunter’s damage output by taking away their pet, while others use this to decimate enemies. While many would like to try these skills, there are many steps they need to follow before obtaining them. Some need you to increase your reputation with new factions, and others will send you to many places in Azeroth to search for them.
