Rune Engravings: A new feature in Season of Discovery, Rune Engravings are enhancements that can be applied to Gloves, Chest, and Pants. They can grant new abilities, strengthen existing ones, or completely rework how an ability functions. For example, Warlocks can now tank using the Metamorphosis engraving, Mages can transfer damage dealt into healing for allies, and Rogues gain critical damage avoidance and increased threat generation. Understanding and utilizing these engravings is vital for gameplay.
Class Role Rankings: The Season of Discovery brings a shift in the raid meta. This means you’ll need to stay informed about how different classes perform in raids. Classes now have new roles due to the Rune Engravings, so experimenting with different class and role combinations is recommended.
Professions and Level Caps: The meta in Season of Discovery is altered by lower level caps, affecting the items you can craft and use. For instance, in the Mining profession, you’ll be focusing on farming lower level ores, stones, and gems, suitable for Blacksmiths and Engineers. Similarly, in Tailoring, you’ll find yourself crafting lower-level items with a maximum skill level capped at Journeyman (150). This constraint guides your strategy in gathering and crafting materials.
New Patterns and Plans: Season of Discovery introduces new patterns and plans for professions. For Tailoring, some of the new items include Extraplanar Spidersilk Boots and Phoenix Bindings. Understanding where to find these patterns and the materials needed for crafting them is crucial.
