WoW Season of Discovery Phase 2: Everything We Know So Far!

Phase 2 of World of Warcraft's Season of Discovery is almost here, and it's finally time to take a look at all the new content coming on the 8th of February. It's been nearly two months since the realms first opened, allowing players to experience this brand new Classic WoW variation that became a sensation in the gaming world. Players were able to play with new runes and create never-before-seen builds for their favorite classes, testing them out against the reimagined low-level Raid and PvP zone. Now that we are inching closer to Phase 2, let's take a look at everything that has been revealed so far!

• Increased Level Cap
• Additional Talent Points
• New Runes & Abilities
• New PvP Zone Event: Stranglethorn Vale
• New Raid: Gnomeregan

Increased Level Cap

One of the biggest shifts happening during Phase 2 is the increased level cap, allowing players to explore some of the most iconic zones in World of Warcraft history. The level cap will be raised from 25 to 40, creating even more opportunities for players to develop new and interesting builds for their characters.

Zones such as Stranglethorn Vale, Arathi Highlands, and the Badlands will be instantly populated by players aiming to reach the max level. This will also create new PvP opportunities scattered around the world.

Additional Talent Points

With the level cap increasing from 25 to 40, players will finally be able to spend more talent points to their characters. Level 25 was not high enough for build diversity to be significantly affected by talent choices, but now, with an additional 15 levels, all classes in the game will feel much more complete.

This, combined with the new runes and items that will be available, will create even more opportunities for players to theorycraft some unique builds.

New Runes & Abilities

The big selling point of Season of Discovery has always been the new runes, allowing players to gain new abilities and passives that might entirely change the way their class works. Things that were never seen before, such as a Warlock Tank and a Healer Mage, are now made possible and are among the biggest reasons for the project's success.

Phase 2 is set to bring even more runes to the table, and while we don't have information on them as of now, judging by how impactful some were in Phase 1, we expect a lot of interesting and class-defining perks.

New PvP Zone Event: Stranglethorn Vale

The Ashenvale PvP zone in Phase 1 was a huge success, getting players to try out all of their new runes and items on a large-scale battlefield against the enemy faction. Phase 2 promises to deliver more of the same, with the new PvP zone being in the iconic Stranglethorn Vale. It's no surprise that this was the chosen zone for Blizzard, as Stranglethorn Vale was already being remarked as the 'Vietnam' of World of Warcraft.

Information on the exact details of the PvP event have not been shared yet, but we hope it is enticing enough that players get to experience one of the premiere PvP zones of the game's history.

New Raid: Gnomeregan

Phase 1 for PvE players culminated in the reimagined Blackfathom Deeps, which was once a regular dungeon but was turned into a 10-man raid for Season of Discovery. It's already been announced that the big Raid for Phase 2 is going to be one of the most iconic dungeons in World of Warcraft - Gnomeregan. This dungeon is an excellent choice, as players who experienced it in the old days already compared it to a Raid because of its dense layout and the numerous bosses available to fight. This Raid will also come with its own set of exciting items for players to chase, offering different bonuses and effects to further strengthen your characters.

That is everything you need to know about the new content coming to Phase 2 of Season of Discovery. Phase 2 is set to launch on the 8th of February, and we hope to see it be as big of a success as the previous stage. Stay tuned for more World of Warcraft Season of Discovery news and guides as we prepare to venture once more into Phase 2!
