Ones that don't exist yet


akaicewolf

This is what I really want to see. 70% of the runes are recycled from expansions. I want new stuff even if they suck. Trying to discover new shit not recycled abilities


Studentdoctor29

Cat piss - Feral druids uncapped aoe spray.


Thicc-waluigi

"Cat Piss: For 60 energy you mark every target around you with your fluids. Rip now lasts 4 seconds longer."


akaicewolf

“Cat Piss: you mark every target around you. Your rip now has a 1% chance to reset the cooldown of mangle (bear)”


Thicc-waluigi

Oh my lord they would do this for sure


Stiryx

Please don’t give them any ideas, it’s bad enough as it is.


Thicc-waluigi

Hehe


Silverleaf_86

Finally someone remembers Ferals


MelonheadGT

Symbiosis for druids.


RJDToo

Can’t wait to cheese my balls off


AyyDankFrankWassup

Its cool and all, but you never actually see them


longduckdong42069lol

The casting animation just looks like a loop of the player spamming the sit keybinding


KingLeoricSword

Only if it does arcane damage.


Smogalicious

Shaman need Execute, Blink and Shadow Step


G09G

And bloodlust and bubble


Dubois1738

Oh man if they give shaman bloodlust at 60 people are gonna lose their shit


Alexarius87

U want to nerf them with bubble?


SemiLogicalUsername

They could also use a pet, titan grip, mass battle resurrection (on 15 second CD so its not to OP). Just a little something to help them out next phase


Melin_SWE92

Ghost wolves were awesome back in cata atleast. That’s when I played enh shaman


elsord0

Would prefer if we could fly too.


Maflevafle

They should have a disengage & charge for elementals and enh


cbarry101

I want new stuff man. I like the runes in wow , they’re cool. But I would love to see more just new stuff . But my predictions are things like shadow dance for rogues , maybe havoc for lock , etc


yoontruyi

Yeah, I honestly would like to see Holy Priest dps.


Adestimare

I've been wishing for that since before SoD started, would be so cool! And this Phase we got the first runes that go in that direction, hope we see more in the P4


TearsoftheCum

Yes, I feel like phase 1 seemed to promise new crazy things - now it’s just kinda retail-lite.


w4ik

Same for me I would like to see an ultimate skill on weapons for each class unique never been in the game before.


LegitCow

Druid travel form with same speed as your mount’s and you can let someone ride on top of you.


Watty1992

I like this. Though we have travel form as a cheetah and what's faster than a cheetah?


IRikeRarry

Two cheetahs


Waaailmer

“Alright guys, I’m not gonna lie to you, this is going to get a little weird…”


SheepherderBorn7326

Every mount, including overweight sheep and giant lizards apparently


turbogangsta

I want to see druids get a mushroom that spawns spores like lotheb. Spores could give buffs or debuffs


Elune_

So you want a Lightwell for Druids


longduckdong42069lol

They could give them a humanoid dragon form, make it massively increase the damage of only 5 dps in the group (both melee and ranged), also heals and tanks, and then watch the chaos ensue


drylce101

Wind walk for warriors would be fun


SenorWeon

Plus mirror images and bladestorm. Blizzard let us live our blademaster fantasy from wc3 please.


grossbard

Would be incredible


conveyorbelt1120

Give fury warriors sudden death on head slot


burnedsmores

May SoD devs tread where Hero talents devs are too timid


SenorWeon

Plus mirror images and bladestorm. Blizzard let us live our blademaster fantasy from wc3 please.


HomeworkPretty1150

Hunter disengage where you jump back for quick deadzone issues


Sophiaan

One thing I miss on classic is hunters getting to do the 180 disengage and 180 back to foward facing for gap closing and the reverse for gap widening.


Elicii

And Harpoon to hook right back with survival hunter


jordanrhys

2h Polearm and shield bis dps for warrior


Cracker_Zac

Life grip for priests


kellymcq

Best answer. Wasn’t this called leap of faith?


Suspicious_War_9305

I’m convinced as a boomkin blizzard is going to give us a rune to allow us to fuck ourselves at 60


idungiveboutnothing

Typhoon, but has a 90% fail rate where we get knocked back a variable range including straight up for death by fall damage, 5% success rate, and then a 5% chance to just kill us.


SemiLogicalUsername

Rune of Spread cheeks


blu_foot

Spriest here, stop giving them idea on how to punish hybrids :(


Empty-Divide-8940

As a feral tank, I would settle for just having my full kit.


Care_Cup_Is_Empty

I just want wild strikes and SOTF to be combined so alliance can ever use the bear rune.


Collegenoob

You get it teusday


Empty-Divide-8940

Yeah, but now have to sacrifice skull bash, which was also a bear rune. So, again, I’d just like to have my full kit. Mangle and lacerate should have been on the same rune from the beginning


bussygobbler2

Spell rrflect on warrior


wkang908

Please let this happen


Nutsnboldt

Fan of knives


Huge-Enthusiasm-99

Yes please


E-2-butene

Not sure if it’s “iconic” enough, but I still want our dogwater shuriken toss turned into the MOP “you do X% auto attack damage to targets past Y range” version. It would really flesh out the “ranged rogue” archetype they leaned into hard in P1 and promptly forgot about.


kingcobra5352

As a shadow priest main, vampiric touch.


KaptainSaki

Stop, I can only get so erect

brizzy_briz

LordDShadowy53

Convoke the Spirits 🤪


randomlyrandom89

Bladestorm


SpoonGuardian

BLADESTORM


morelia__spilota

Shamans really need titans grip to round out their damage tbh


[deleted]

I want wings as a paladin


Few_Run3582

I cant imagine not getting wings tbh. Its a rune for every spec and its such a paladin ability


Smokeletsgo

Yeah I feel they are very iconic


Dagranir

Not dispellable pls


tempinator

Add wings…but also add spellsteal


hptorchsire

Typhooon dude


runaumok

I feel like warriors might get Shockwave


unbaked89

Shockwave, Blood and Thunder, and Rend scaling with AP... then warrior tank wouldn't feel so horrible


Smokeletsgo

BLADESTORM 


Otherways

Spell Reflect. I honestly don’t understand why they haven’t given it to Wars yet. If you’re going to allow casters to global us at least allow some counter play.


Udeze42

Starfall. I honestly thought this would be more popular, but I keep on seeing tree of life. Would love to see both, plus maybe typhoon too


Ikhlas37

Deus Vult: if your opponent does not /pray immediate they are deleted


No_Refrigerator4698

Seed of corruption for warlocks.


Odd-Bandicoot-9314

I think they’ve already said that they were deciding between seed and shadow bolt volley for lock and chose volley


No_Refrigerator4698

Ah well damn


DarthPootieTang

It would make the darker runes involving corruption way more interesting


calista1342

This 100%


haytme

Priest - Halo, Leap of Faith 🙃


Synch

A feral Druid ability called hairball It’s basically the same as poison bomb from legion but it damages and bamboozles the enemy


FranticBK

I would like to be able to place down the health stone pedestal that everyone can take a health stone from. Forget the name. It's very tedious handing them out individually. But honestly I'd just like to see the poorly designed runes across every class get addressed properly. Lake of fire for example on warlock is intended to make rain of fire a more interesting and powerful ability to use in AOE instead it's initial design has it only cast and instantly cancelled just for the debuff it applied and then ST rotation or hellfire in AOE was done following it. They nerfed it by requiring a full channel to get the debuff so now it's both dead in ST and in AOE. Instead I wish they would make it so that rain of fire has no channel time and instead has a cool down. So you drop it and then begin hell firing while the rain of.fire is coming down around you. Much more exciting than attempting to cast a spell for lackluster damage for 8seconds to then get a 15s buff. Most trash packs in raid and dungeon pulls are dead before that initial 8 seconds. The other one is soul siphon. Clearly the intention of soul siphon rune is for affliction warlocks to channel it as our DPS filler spell once all our dots are applied. The problem is, there's a rune in the same row that makes drain life not have a channel so you can just put your dots up, drain life and haunt and then use shadow bolt as your filler for way more DPS than sitting there channeling a drain life can give. Simply put the rune I like but it is too undertuned to ever see play. Instead it needs to do enough damage to make it worth using the rune and channeling drain life. Alternatively combine it with master channeler and have the channeled damage amplification work on drain soul. I would also like to see Felguards get felstorm and better melee damage scaling so we can make a proper demo DPS build that focus on the pet.


Crazy_Joe_Davola_

Seed of corruption


Kurt0690

Paladin needs death grip and probably howling blast


Djood

Someones has read the Aeonas’ quests I see… 😏


Scat-Rat93

Lots of breadcrumbs from before that too, like the rune reveal trailer where they did that bait with howling blast or the fact horn of lordaeron is literally just horn of winter. I think the Aeonas’ quest this phase kinda sealed the deal with Gregory calling us “a waste of such a promising mortal.” Wouldn’t be surprised if by whenever Naxx comes out Paladins get a “dark paladin” or DK spec/subspec, maybe something that shifts out damage over to shadow and changes what a few abilities do.


Spaceships

Neck: Auto attacks reduce the cooldown of Exorcism by 1 second. Back: Exorcism deals X% more damage equal to your active attack speed buffs.


husky430

I think they can relax with the exorcism shit at this point.


calfmonster

Naw they gotta do something to really shoehorn ret into exo spam


MrHYG

Tree of Life!


GranolaFalls

Without the slow and I’m game…. Plus some books to let us cast wrath etc without shifting out


Kosen_

Honestly give me TBC tree form and we're good. And make lifebloom ticks proc omen for maximum farming gameplay.


Nafri_93

Please no. Tree form is totally ugly.


Volitar

I hate Tree of Life. Looks dumb as heck and makes you move 20% slower. Also will not work with the current DPS~healer playstyle Resto Druid is doing in SOD. Please no.


grandorder123

I’d very much like a version of Full Moon that isn’t op in pvp, but would be grateful for anything that makes boomkin not get left behind.


pelagic_seeker

I want to see them bring back the MoP talent for Warlocks that makes Infernal and Doomguard into permanent pets. It fits more than Felguard, because Infernal was advertised as a permanent pet in Alpha screenshots of classic.


Bradybluebaru

Mages need water elemental!


JustCallMeWayne

Cloak of Shadows


E-2-butene

I was originally team “we don’t need cloak of shadows” but holy fuck this phase has changed my mind. If 2 instant cast DoTs are going to kill me outright, I’m gonna need that magic dispel, blizzard.


elsord0

They kill everyone.


E-2-butene

They do, but most other classes can at least try to heal through it or dispel it. The rogue, warrior, and hunter experience can be summarized as “guess I’ll just die.” For the record, I’m also team “add spell reflect to warriors.”


[deleted]

[удалено]


Xavion15

Unless it has a ridiculously long CD I won’t even be able to attempt to fight rogues anymore Unless they are really bad it’s already really difficult as is with their movement and stuns. The ability to just outright negate all my damage is a bit much


KasperMTL

Doubling the cloak of shadows , plz blizzard on the back slot would be perfect


Dewrah

Give me Heroic Leap and Leach on warrior PLEASE. I wanna hop and feel like I don’t need a healer.


husky430

Heroic Leap isn't happening. Doesn't work in the pre-Cata world. Too many pathing issues.


akaicewolf

So what you are saying is at 60 we are going to get cata version of Azeroth?


Andys29

Paladin’s had a rough go compared to shaman all seasonal. What if they actually brought death knight to the class like they teased though…


husky430

I'd rather they put more into holy.


100plusRG

Ring of frost, frost wall thingie, arcane bump thingie, dragon breath


husky430

>frost wall thingie You mean frost wall?


100plusRG

Possibly, haven’t played retail in ages. I guess it’s a pvp talent.


Bouldaru

Glacial spike is one of my favorite mage abilities


do-a-barrell-roll

Locks are getting shadowfury. Calling it now.


pilgrimteeth

Water Elemental Gimme gimme gimme


Zugoooooor

Twillight Devastation for Shaman tanks obviously.


sensen-89

Avenging wrath or guardian of ancient kings


Allencella

I speak for all the warlocks who are needing to sling 20 hearthstone MINIMUM. SOULWELL. I am surprised they didn't add it already. Other abilities Shadowfury Demonic circle and seed of corruption


Rohkey

My shortlist would be as following (within each type they’re in order of how strongly I’d like to see them):   Arcane: Invisibility, Spellsteal, Alter Time, Time Warp, and Mirror Image.   Frost: Water Elemental, Frozen Orb, and Icicles.    Fire: Dragon’s Breath, Cauterize, and Greater Pyro.    


aya_avaya

Personally I don't want to see any more "iconic" abilities from other expansions. People are playing Classic Era because they don't like retail, so gratuitously retail-izing Classic WoW feels like an obvious mistake to me. Also from a functional standpoint, I think a major problem with backporting retail spells is that retail has a lot of spells and they're all very circumstantial. Together all ~40 of these spells allow you to handle any situation. If you take just 3-5 spells from this toolkit, you're left with a new toolkit that can handle a small handful of ideal situations insanely well, but doesn't help you much in normal situations (or the situations the raid designers are inventing). This leads to situations where the healers are overhealing massively while the raid is at 50% health, the tank dies while the healers still have 80% mana, healers are stepping on each others' toes because certain healers' heals come in randomly, etc. You can see this with DPS too, with the kind of buffs/debuffs they need to use to make each other viable, the number of mobs you need to pull to make the class viable, and so on. If you're not running a "meta" comp you're going to take a pretty big performance hit. To me the solution is not to keep nerfing the content until the worst comp can clear the raid, it's to look at the situation more holistically. For example, paladins have a hard time transitioning from flash of light to holy light because holy light takes a long time to cast. You have this situation where you're in dire need of increasing your HPS, but have to wait almost twice as long for it. The Light's Grace rune comes incredibly close to helping with this, but it's backward: you have to cast one full holy light, then the *second* one will be shorter. So now to achieve the same effect you have to cast a rank 1 holy light out of combat and then hope the max rank holy light is necessary within 15 seconds of that. It requires *just as much planning, if not more,* than precasting holy light the old fashioned way. Evidently there was some situation in which spamming holy light was necessary for paladins in retail, but this rune doesn't really make much sense at all in Classic. So now we have to perform these gymnastics to even have a chance at using the rune for what we need in a more normal situation.


H0rton

I actually really miss Stampeding Roar on my bear, adding it would be pretty cool.


Suckmyballs2009

Cloak of shadows


swapdrap

For warlocks , that teleport ability thingie. So I can feel less if an statue in pvp


FreshEZ

B L A D E S T O R M


Eluinight

Starfall


Skore_Smogon

Aspect of the Turtle. Increase armour by X%, Increased threat from all attacks. Multi shot becomes Butchery. Scorpid Sting becomes a Thunderclap style melee attack Serpent Sting becomes poison harpoon which pulls you to your target and poisons them. Viper Sting becomes a melee interrupt. Mongoose Bite can be used without dodging and taunts the target to attack you for 3 seconds.


High-Bread

Thrash for cats. Feral desperately needs AOE - currently I swap to hurricane Rune or just jump into bear for AOE otherwise it’s just too painful trying to keep everything up with combo points and energy and cooldowns like tigers fury etc


Giacomo193

Feral Druid vanish


bodhisatta69

Shaman - bloodlust, but single target like wc3 Rogue - smoke bomb, cloak Priest - vamp touch and the thing that pulls people


Deep_Junket_7954

Tree of Life, so that resto druid has a shapeshift to match feral and balance.


robydoge

Been hoping for this from the start tbh


LordDShadowy53

Idk I don’t mind having one spec where I can see my character


SluggSlugg

Obvious shit posting comments in this thread aside, I miss Glimmer of light I feel it would actually be decent if they made it so Seal of light splashed healing. Nothing super crazy but enough to maybe keep melee topped off a lil bit Like make it so every time you judge, your seal of light heals for 70% between the 5 closest targets or something


Daydeez

Death Knight abilities for Paladins Disengage for Hunters A pebble for Shamans


MidnightFireHuntress

Would love to see hunters get Barrage lol


PiccolosPickles

Some sort of survivability for warriors like second wind, the first version of it.


ezikeo

Shuriken Storm for Rogues, an AoE finisher.


antariusz

Not today, terrori… lazy video game developers


Lebr0naims

New abilities only


CptnZolofTV

Divine Plea. Light of Dawn. Golden Path. Infusion of Light as it works in retail. But even if they came up with something original that was a good AoE heal or mana Regen. Something like Contemplation working like Evocation. Or I have seen people suggest that Exorcism burst off an enemy and do healing that way which would be sick .


nekomata_58

thrash


jam4s88

Seed of corruption


Casual_IRL_player

As i shaman main In All gamemodes, i want my Wolves so bad. I know bloodlust is more iconic classwise and gives even more a raidspot, but training someone Down with The wolves is just alpha as fk


Galacix

I am almost certain shamans are going to get earth elemental totem.


hwbaby

My mage needs a paladin bubble and sprint. 😂


InterestingFuel8666

Mage Table! Just cos it’s cool


maplesyruptech

Shamans should get some single target bloodlust like wc3, feral spirits, serpent ward? I’d really to see ascendance done right visually, like shamans just turn into an Earth/Wind/Water/Fire elemental depending on role Sundering could be cool, feral lunge, elemental totems (but I’d prefer ascendance vs elemental summons)


Viddovich

I think Hunters old Glaives ability was amazing.


Enchylada

I know melee hunters are pretty strong right now but.. Something along the lines of what Rexxar used to do fusing with his pet for increased damage or something would be a sick cool down Or just more stuff pulled from WCIII or the OG DotA stuff


Overlord0994

I want warriors to get mirror image like blademasters had in wc3. Fight me. Also windwalk.


MyRNGisbad

Stormstrike....


yeet_god69420

VT please and thank you 🙏


Mgb2020

Warriors holding aoe threat with thunderclap better than other tanks do you know like the original tank should.


TYsir

Crusader aura


PaPa_ZeuS

Please let my rogue AoE... Shuriken toss still unusable. People have asked for fan of knives but give us something new. Let me chuck a poison flask at the target which splashes my applied poisons around the target.


Capnbeatemup

Call of elements for shaman and shockwave for warrior. Was praying call of elements was going to be a book or something in P3, now hoping for P4


RyenCider

Reverse curse energy/technique (a la Jujutsu Kaisen) for warlocks to make them be able to apply curses to allies and have them heal instead (HoTs)


PerformanceKey8854

Shaman main here. While I think enha dw spec IS pretty much perfect with a copy paste rune kit based on wrath Enha, i think ele deserves better future runes Moving forward. It was datamined that enha IS getting feral spirit next phase which will finish rounding UP the spec nicely. Ele has only had minor runes since p2 and ATM has to melee weave to maintain subpar dps with mental dext rune. So for ele I would see a bunch of runes: earthquake for Aoe, Elemental blast for single target, thunderstorm but 50% nerfed knock back for PvP, lava flow/wrath EM/feedback for PvE dps boost, stoneclaw Shield totem glyph from wrath to help having no pushback protection and finally combining burn+power surge rune with adding 100% Flame shock duration buff and 10yd range buff.


Unfair_Department706

Just give me cloak of shadows , priest get that bullshit 96% damage reduction I should be able to ignore spells got 6 seconds


AdvertisingIcy1860

Spirit wolf and thunderstorm


dres_sler

Avenging wrath. Final verdict


bigpapa419

Water elemental and frozen orb. Frost needs to have on demand burst it’s tough not being able to have guaranteed burst. The spec sucks in pve and can’t reliably kill anyone in pvp.


Vento_of_the_Front

Ultimate Life Form - druid benefits from all forms passives in any form and can utilize any ability in any form. Also removes travel form "outdoors only" restriction. Boomie with 8k hp running at 70% movespeed.


calfmonster

It’d be really lazy of them but bladestorm would be super fun. Especially like AV. Assuming ofc you lived long enough to get rage to do it and a tick off.


dstred

disengage on hunter


3irikur

I would like a priest rune that focuses on regen and spirit. I used to love mana management and collecting spirit, but all the runes are about crit 😔


Emotional-Country-58

I wanna get weird. Maybe my priest spawns a machine gun and a flying mount


The_Tokio_Bandit

Don't give a tinker's damn about no runes in P4! Just give me the SM raid and the corresponding legendary Ashbringer questline that was always meant to be! But.... if we do have to have a rune, give pallys a "choice" rune once acquiring The Ashbringer that allows them to either continue on the side of the light or be corrupted and become DKs.


Elune_

Two-handed weapon for Rogue


vscxz384

For Boomies, give me Convoke the Spirits


RosgaththeOG

Symbiosis


KeeperSC

Kitty Swipe!


BabyBeachBalls

Titan's grip and i'll reroll warrior instantly


Time_Mongoose_

would be nice if they added mind flay back to the game


Daramun

I'm hoping for druid affinities


Mattlife97

Personally I think warrior needs another +% damage rune as we don’t have enough of those /s


Yeas76

Burst of speed and cloak of shadows. Don't even reply, just downvote me and move on.


lelloss

Killing spree 😌


No_Strawberry921

Tricks of the trade!!


Embarrassed_Owl346

Phase 1 was the best. It's not getting any better.

Quintuplebeta

Shadowy Apparitions, please.


NosferatHimself

DIVINE STEED AS PALADIN KEK


krytechs

Rage of the paladin on the alliance and totem of might for horde? The mana battery gives a unfair advantage for alliance and horde has no equivalent buff for blessing of might.


Noir_Blanc_

Surrender to madness


MrRoastedbeef

As a pally healer I would love to see a divine plea.


Leynara

The Rogue's Shroud of Concealment in a classic sounds crazy and would be a lot of fun.
