Phase 2 of Season of Discovery brings with it a new level 40 cap. Even without Runes this will massively shake up the meta, but of course, there will always be winners and losers each Phase. This article will cover the most impactful new spells and talents gained between levels 26 and 40, estimating which classes will see the biggest improvements for Phase 2.
This list aims to look into what classes are looking the strongest and weakest in Phase 2 of Season of Discovery, without advance knowledge of what will be added or changed in Phase 2. New Runes and items, as well as changes to existing spells and items will likely have a drastic impact on what is and is not strong in Phase 2.
Warlock
Highlights
毁灭
元素诅咒
烧尽
灰烬风暴
灵魂链接
Warlocks are looking incredible in Phase 2. Destruction gets
毁灭
, one of the biggest power boosters in Classic. While other specs get similar Critical Damage boosts, most don't get it for just one point. On top of that, Demonology Warlocks get the incredibly powerful
灵魂链接
, which even before
恶魔变形
could turn a Warlock into a one-man army.
Unfortunately, the newest rank of
暗影箭
is at level 36, which could have been a massive hit to
毁灭
and Warlocks overall. That would be if we didn't have
烧尽
, which scales with your level, and does Fire damage, enabling some damage boosts
暗影箭
can't touch.
To go with
烧尽
, Warlocks also get access to
元素诅咒
. While Rank 1 is only a 6% damage increase, that is still a very significant bonus. Deep Destruction also has access to
灰烬风暴
, bringing a flat 10% Fire damage (or 8% if you want
燃烧
).
Going along with the massive boosts to Fire damage, the newest rank of
献祭
is available at level 40, making it very strong for the Phase. On the flip side, the newest rank of
生命分流
is available at 36, which while definitely not as bad as Phase 1, still means pressing it at least once per
暗影箭
or
烧尽
.
腐蚀术
and
灼热之痛
also suffer a bit of a hit, with the newest ranks available at 34.
Warrior
Highlights
致死打击
嗜血
横扫攻击
死亡之愿
狂暴姿态
旋风斩
No list is ever complete without mentioning the brown class. All three of the Warrior capstone talents are immensely strong. Both
致死打击
and
嗜血
are instant cast full damage weapon attacks for 30 Rage, and
盾牌猛击
is a high damage single target dispel on for just 20 Rage.
Arms Warriors also get access to
横扫攻击
and a weapon specialization of their choosing, while Fury Warriors get
死亡之愿
and
乱舞
.
强化猛击
is also available, if that was to end up being the meta.
Of course, one of the biggest upgrades is
狂暴姿态
and
旋风斩
, both of which will massively increase Warrior DPS.
狂暴之怒
is also available, giving a more reliable way of triggering
狂热鞭笞
and
怒击
.
If nothing changes for Season of Discovery,
旋风之斧
is also available, giving Warriors a very reliable pre-raid weapon.
破坏者
also exists, and while the proc is notoriously unreliable, no one can deny just how fun spin to win is.
石猪剑
is also a top notch option for Human and/or
剑类武器专精
Warriors.
Tank Druid
Highlights
巨熊形态
兽群领袖
精灵之火(野性)
An unexpected spot on this list goes to Bear Druids. A lot of what makes them especially strong in Phase 2 is also available to Cat DPS, but the opportunity cost for them is significantly higher.
At level 40 you get
巨熊形态
, giving you a big boost to your bulk. This is meant to mirror Plate for Warrior tanks, but at level 40 there isn't a significant amount of Plate available, giving Bears the advantage. You also get
挑战咆哮
, which can help alleviate some strain.
Bear Druids still have the potential to bring
狂野打击
, as long as
优胜劣汰
is unnecessary to complete the content available. While
风怒图腾
is now available to Shamans,
狂野打击
is a percentage bonus to Attack Power instead of a flat number, meaning it could be stronger depending on what the gear looks like.
At level 40,
兽群领袖
becomes available at the end of the Feral tree. 3% Critical Chance to your party is a big boost, especially when you're already giving Windfurry. Finally,
精灵之火(野性)
is available, giving you a way to reduce Armor in form (also a ranged pull without dedicating a Rune to it).
Both
兽群领袖
and
精灵之火(野性)
are available to Cats of course, but grabbing
兽群领袖
means not having
激怒
, and grabbing
精灵之火(野性)
means not having
清晰预兆
.
Rogue
Highlights
剑刃乱舞
冲动
冷血
出血
恶性毒药
强化毒药
While Rogues don't learn many new spells from their trainer, they do gain access to some vital new talents. Combat Rogues get a weapon specialization of their choice, as well as
剑刃乱舞
and
冲动
.
剑刃乱舞
brings some much needed AoE to the Rogue toolkit, and
冲动
enables some very strong burst periods.
Assassination Rogues also get some classics like
封印命运
and
冷血
, but with Poisons being even stronger than usual, it is worth nothing that they also get
恶性毒药
and
强化毒药
, which make
致命阴谋
even stronger. Unfortunately, poor
精力
still isn't any good, but that means the point can be spent elsewhere.
Subtlety Rogues get their fair share of bangers, with
预谋
and
伺机待发
being very powerful cooldowns.
出血
also becomes available, and the Physical damage increase is proportionally very strong at level 40.
An honorable mention needs to be made, as Rogues learn
肾击
,
偷袭
, and
致盲
in Phase 2, bringing them closer to their usual status as a PvP terror.
Fire Mage
Highlights
燃烧
强化灼烧
魔甲术
制造魔法翡翠
Thus began the Age of Fire. Fire Mage gets the very powerful
燃烧
if they decide to go all the way into the Fire tree.
强化灼烧
is now also available, giving 15% increased Fire damage at 5 stacks, making Warlocks instantly fall in love with you. Speaking of Warlocks, they finally pick up their slack and bring
元素诅咒
, a solid damage boost for Fire and Frost damage casters.
At level 40, Mages will have just gotten a fresh new rank of
灼烧
, but unfortunately the newest rank of
火球术
is available at level 36. If nothing else, this makes stacking
强化灼烧
significantly less punishing than it could be. You will also have access to
魔甲术
and two different Mana gems with
制造魔法玛瑙
and
制造魔法翡翠
, giving you a lot more control over your mana.
Shadow Priest
Highlights
暗影形态
黑暗
暗影之波
After an awful Phase 1, Shadow Priest needs a bit of a pick-me-up. The glow up from level 25 to 40 is quite likely the biggest relative jump in power of any spec. Unfortunately, without some powerful new Runes, this jump might not mean much.
The combination of
暗影形态
,
黑暗
, and
暗影之波
is an almost 50% Shadow damage increase, and coincidentally they get a fresh new rank of
心灵震爆
at level 40.
To bring Shadow Priests back to earth,
暗影诅咒
isn't available by level 40, and the newest rank of
精神鞭笞
is available at level 36, making it a bit outdated by max level. With Warlocks likely opting to play Fire instead of Shadow,
暗影之波
is unlikely to be a high value debuff in most raids.
Finally, Gnomeregan is full of Mechanical enemies, and unless Blizzard makes some changes, they are immune to diseases, making one of the strongest Phase 1 Runes,
虚空疫病
, unusable.
Elemental Shaman
Highlights
元素掌握
闪电链
元素之怒
闪电掌握
Similarly to Shadow Priests, Elemental Shaman gets a massive glow up between Phases. Their relative power massively increases, but without some new Runes to patch the holes, they are unlikely to end up topping the meters.
Putting 31 points into Elemental gives
元素掌握
, an on-demand guaranteed Crit every 3-minutes. While this spell may seem underwhelming just based on the description, if you cast a spell with a cast-time, and follow it by queueing an instant spell, they will both have the 100% Critical Chance. This means
元素掌握
into
闪电链
, followed by
地震术
allows for a very strong burst every 3-minutes. Depending on how
过载
interacts with
元素掌握
, you might even get a second
闪电链
guaranteed crit.
Matching the guaranteed crits for
熔岩爆裂
and
元素掌握
, for a single point you get
元素之怒
, giving a 100% increased Critical Damage boost. As worded, this should apply to any Fire, Frost, and Nature Runes, including
熔岩爆裂
.
The base rotation for Elemental is also a little bit faster, with
闪电掌握
reducing the cast time of
闪电箭
and
闪电链
by a full second. This goes very well with the fresh rank of
闪电链
available at level 40, and the slightly less fresh rank of
闪电箭
at level 38.
