↖ Glove Runes

Phase 1

•  Victory Rush: Reminiscent of its Burning Crusade roots, this leveling-focused rune let's you take damage more easily while in the open world. A familiar ability from The Burning Crusade era that provides sustain during leveling. In The Season Of Discovery, it helps Warriors to mitigate increased damage from enemies in the open world.
•  Devastate: Sunder Armor also deals up to 100% weapon DPS each second when Defensive Stance is active and wielding a shield with an additional 10% per sunder armor effect present on target. A powerful ability that turns Sunder Armor into an offensive attack increasing in power with every use. It places Protection warriors in a position where they can do significant damage overall.
•  Single-Minded Fury: For PVE this is must-have choice as dual-wielding warriors gain 10% physical damage bonus buff and also move faster by up to 10%. 
•  Endless Rage: To keep both dps and consumed by rage rolling this rune is important as it increases rage generation from damage dealt.
•  Quick Strike: An insane instant melee attack which causes (AP*10/100) to (AP *20/100) physical Damage with a Two-handed weapon equipped. This Instant melee Attack benefits from and triggers all effects associated with Heroic Strike. An instant attack for two-handed DPS warriors that makes their next auto-attack generate rage rather than consume it with Heroic Strike.

Phase 2:

•  Focused Rage: Reduce the cost of your offensive abilities' rage by 3 points. Although this may not seem like a big deal, especially when you have an abundance of rage, it could save your life in critical moments where you can't get enough rage.
•  Precise Timing: No need to wait. This rune turns your Slam into an instant ability on a 6-second cooldown. It's all about perfect timing.
•  Blood Surge: Your Heroic Strike, Bloodthirst, and Whirlwind give a 30% chance to make your next Slam become an instant cast that does not consume any Rage. That's a game changer! This rune is nostalgic for some players as it brings back one of the loved talents from the past making Slam almost unstoppable.

 

↖ Boot Runes

Phase2:

•  Enraged Regeneration: This skill will heal you for 30% of your maximum health over time but only if you're enraged. It also works when stunned.this is what warrior self sustain build cries out for more so during solo pvp
•  Intervene: Move towards a party member at high speed and reduce the amount of threat they have by 10%. A long-loved defensive maneuver making its return.
•  Rallying Cry: Spread out 40 yards' radius of boost maximum life points by 15% for the next ten seconds. It's a shot in the arm.

 

↖ Chest Runes

Phase 1:

•  Blood Frenzy: The ability to generate three rage for each tick of bleed and increase rage regeneration based on active bleeds that can turn this otherwise passive talent into a raid-damaging ability. Nonetheless, it seems that the spell may work best if it is deployed alongside other runes with bleeding effects.
•  Warbringer: Now usable in all stances and will clear movement impairing effects when activated after Charge, Intercept and Intervene are combat ready. This rune changes the game completely both in PvE and PvP because no other SoD class has such mobility and utility wrapped up in one.
•  Flagellation: Physical damage is improved by 25% over twelve seconds after activating Berserker Rage or Blood Rage. The rune's impact at level 25 might not be very significant but as you progress through abilities like Death Wish, its dps output gets pretty impressive.
•  Raging Blow: Instant strike dealing weapon damage worth 100%, only usable while enraged. Another leg rune consumed by rage determines its efficacy greatly. These two corrects assuredly pair to provide an unbeatable combination that ensures constant damage over time.

 

↖ Leg Runes

Phase 1:

•  Furious Thunder: The Thunder Clap now slows down attacks by an additional six percent, can be used in any stance, deals two times more damage, and increases threat by half as much again as previously stated. In Defensive Stance, Thunder Clap comes with a stronger debuff effect. Small yet crucial change for Protection warriors' quality of life.
•  Frenzied Assault: Attack speed is multiplied twenty percent when using two-handed weapons.
•  Consumed By Rage: At more than eighty rage a situation where you have + 25% melee damage for 12 seconds or after a dozen swings. Raging blow will have an increased uptime and consistent damage as long as this rune is not neglected. It is the case that this rune should be used in conjunction with Raging Blow to ensure the consistency of damage and also provide massive dps.

 

The warrior class has been enriched by a wide range of strategic possibilities through these runes made in the Season of Discovery. Two-handed DPS Warrior builds receive significant support, which could compete with dual-wield Fury specs that currently dominate thematically. Furthermore, fury warriors get a major boost in their damage potential making sure they still remain fearsome competitors on the battleground.

 

Upon reaching level 25, warriors may find themselves without some of their most iconic abilities initially leading to lower DPS on the meters compared to what they are capable of doing at level 60. Yet starting off Protection warriors seem to be quite powerful from scratch thereby pointing out their early strength within this season.

 

In conclusion, these new runes keep warriors scaling into end game for progression players during the season. Whether this will enable them stay ahead in terms of highest overall dps is anyone’s guess; however one thing is certain, season discovery promises an exciting future filled with action packed and dynamic developments for Warrior class.
