WoW Classic: Tankende Schamanen und heilende Magier dank Saison-2-Runen

Mit der Saison der Entdeckung von WoW Classic führen die Blizzard-Entwickler ein neues Runen-System ein, mit denen ihr die Spielweise eures Vanilla-Charakters spürbar erweitern könnt. Hier findet ihr alle Runen, die in der Demo-Version der BlizzCon 2023 entdeckt wurden.

Im Zuge der BlizzCon 2023 wurde nicht nur die Saison der Entdeckungen von WoW Classic angekündigt, die Blizzard-Entwickler verrieten auch, was hinter dem neuen Runen-System steckt. Kurzum: Mit den Runen wird das krude Klassen-Balancing und -Design von Vanilla-WoW endlich über den Haufen geworfen. Im Folgenden verraten wir euch, was zu dem System bisher bekannt ist.

Das steckt hinter den Runen von Classic-Saison 2

Runen bieten eurem Classic-Charakter Zugang zu Fertigkeiten, die es in der Form nie in Vanilla-WoW gab. Das können Zauber späterer Erweiterungen oder völlig neue Fähigkeiten sein. Die erste Rune erhaltet ihr dabei über eine Quest, die euch euer Klassen-Trainer gibt. Hier die Eckdaten:

• Die Runen setzt ihr in Slots, die mit eurer Ausrüstung verknüpft sind. Bis Stufe 25 schaltet ihr drei dieser Slots frei, für Hose, Bruststück und Handschuhe. Die eingesetzten Runen lassen sich jederzeit auswechseln.
• Weitere Runen-Slots werdet ihr freischalten, sobald die Maximalstufe angehoben wird.
• An den alten Talentbäumen wird nicht geschraubt. Die Runen existieren neben den altbekannten Talenten.
• Die Entwickler planen, die Umskillkosten zu senken, sodass ihr neben den Runen auch eure Talente regelmäßig anpassen könnt.

WoW Classic: Das neue Runen-System der Saison der Entdeckungen wirbelt die Klassen-Balance durcheinander.
