Warlocks and Hunters stand out in WoW Classic as the only classes with pets. However, in the Season of Discovery, Warlocks are taking on a new role. With potent SoD Runes like Metamorphosis and Demonic Grace, Warlocks can shine as Tanks and are poised to be among the top choices for tanking in this Season. Additionally, for Warlock players preferring DPS, a range of powerful Runes are at their disposal.
Phase One introduced 12 SoD Warlock Runes for the Chest, Legs, and Gloves slots, while Phase Two brought in six more for the Boots and Belt slots, totaling 18 across all five pieces. This comprehensive guide elaborates on the effects and locations of all Warlock SoD Runes introduced in the initial two phases.
Updated April 4, 2024 by Erik Petrovich: As players gear up for the third phase and new Runes, the Phase 1 and 2 SoD Warlock Runes will remain relevant. Although the method of acquiring these Runes for Warlocks in Phase 3 is uncertain, the existing methods from Phases 1 and 2 should still be effective. What has undergone changes are the specific effects of the P1 and P2 SoD Warlock Runes across various WoW SoD patches. This guide has been revised to meticulously outline all Runes accessible in the initial two SoD Phases for Warlocks, with no further updates planned to cover subsequent phases' runes. Moreover, the effects of these Runes have been adjusted to accurately reflect their current in-game impacts as of the publication date.
