World of Warcraft Season of Discovery Phase 3 will provide players with even more runes to discover and try out. Given the great success of runes so far, the community is loving not only the new ways they can play their classes but also figuring out new and fun ways to do PvP and PvE content.
Having said that, we will go over all of the new Shaman runes for SoD Phase 3 as well as how to obtain them so you can start experimenting. Please keep in mind that we will update the guide as soon as the runes are discovered on live servers. Although Phase 2 saw a rather fast discovery process, Phase 3 might be a tad more difficult.

WoW Season of Discovery Phase 3 Shaman Runes
Overcharged will probably be a great tanking resource for Shamans so you constantly maintain threat.
Riptide will give Resto Shamans a lot more impact as Healers so you can become viable for raids or PvP.
Static Shock will be great for Enhancement Shamans, given the nerfs to Rockbiter Weapon.
Rolling Thunder will give Elemental Shamans some big bursts, although at the cost of generating threat.
Burn will offer more AoE options to Shamans, possibly used by tanks or Elemental Shamans.
Mental Dexterity will probably divide the community as Shamans will no longer be able to roll with double Rockbiter Weapon to get the Way of Earth effect thus forcing players to use predominantly damage-oriented enchants.
Tidal Waves offers some more toys for Resto Shamans to become a viable healing option.
