Like every other class in World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery, Priests were given a few new abilities in the latest addition to the game. Before you use these abilities or runes in combat, however, you need to unlock them and add them to your gear.
While a few classes can take on other roles in Season of Discovery, like Shamans becoming a tank or a healer, Priests still excel in their traditional tasks—healing and being a Shadow Priest DPS. The runes that were added in the update enhance their abilities to handle these tasks well, making them powerful healers or damage dealers, depending on which route you take.
In Season of Discovery, each rune can hugely impact your playstyle, therefore it’s best to know them all before choosing certain ones to engrave on your gear. Fortunately, you don’t need to look far. We’ve gathered all the Runes for Priest in WoW Classic Season of Discovery, so you can plan ahead if you’re aiming to play Priest.
