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 Rune

Overcharged Rune

Overcharged will probably be a great tanking resource for Shamans so you constantly maintain threat. 

Riptide Rune

Riptide Rune

Riptide will give Resto Shamans a lot more impact as Healers so you can become viable for raids or PvP.

Static Shock Rune

Static Shock Rune

Static Shock will be great for Enhancement Shamans, given the nerfs to Rockbiter Weapon.

Rolling Thunder Rune

Rolling Thunder Rune

Rolling Thunder will give Elemental Shamans some big bursts, although at the cost of generating threat. 

Burn Rune

Burn Rune

Burn will offer more AoE options to Shamans, possibly used by tanks or Elemental Shamans.

Mental Dexterity

Mental Dexterity Rune

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 Rune

Tidal Waves Rune

Tidal Waves offers some more toys for Resto Shamans to become a viable healing option.

Once you have all 4 of the quests, head to Feralas and kill water elementals on the west coast to get Elemental Essence (Please keep in mind that you can hold only 3 of these at a time).

You will then have to combine them with the Fragment of Earth, Fragment of Air, Fragment of Fire, and Fragment of Water you got from the quests. You will get Glowing Fragment of Earth, Glowing Fragment of Air, Glowing Fragment of Fire, and Glowing Fragment of Water.

Once you have turned in all 4 of the quests, a level 50 Twilight Dark Shaman will spawn that you need to kill to get the rune.
