Comment by lineboyLove these! so many great things for all classes! I dont get the hate, just cuz some are brought from wotlk/cata dosent mean its a bad thing, if it works and it improves the gameplay and it feels fitting in classic i would say its a huge win! for example Eclipse is a great addition to balance druid which makes it much stronger in pve and at the same time much much more viable in pvp besides just beeing a FC, alot of the hate is unwarranted! I see some people beeing upset about that rogue has doubble ''shadow step'' there is a huge difference between the abilitys, one is a damage ability while the other is just a pure teleport with movement speed, both skills will have its use, useing shadow step dosent necesarly mean that you have to go out of stealth right away!Comment by Gr4phics39These runes and this phase are looking phenomenal - WotLK/retail/etc. abilities incorporated into the world & content of Vanilla has been an incredible idea and some of the most fun I've had on WoW in quite a while.

That's what these seasonal realms are all about—looking forward to seeing which of these runes we get this phase!Comment by AcelIf these feral runes are real then blizzard really blundered this phase. Looks like they killed the only thing that made the classic feral actually unique and made another version of retail/wotlk feral. GG.

Can't believe they actually listened to the absolute garbage "wishlist" wowhead posted.Comment by IKLFaxWarriors get a million DPS and tank runes. Paladins are forced to go into Ret/caster DPS with no taunt to tank. Great job there.Comment by CroocketToo much whine for free content...Comment by professionlracerGod pls no Berserk for feral druid its a complet waste for cats.
Give us a rune that reduces the mana cost of shifting or something like refreshing bleeds on crit
we dont need another active
just build around what makes feral fun and engaging POWERSHIFTING

we dont want some recycled ability from wrath that drags us away from what makes feral excitingComment by knivkarinThere are too many active abilites, gonna have to download addons to get extra bars...Comment by CroocketShockladin incoming !Comment by Eternius00Man these hunter runes blowComment by YungGnomeThese are mostly just BC and Wrath talents. At this point just play Wrath.Comment by AcelThere are too many active abilites, gonna have to download addons to get extra bars...Comment by AarandalWarriors get a million DPS and tank runes. Paladins are forced to go into Ret/caster DPS with no taunt to tank. Great job there.Comment by DogrenI hope that the repeated rogue shadowstep rune is actually supposed to be cloak of shadows :DComment by Dogrenis Rogue suppose to have 2 Shadowstep runes?Comment by ByucknahTheRedWarriors get a million DPS and tank runes. Paladins are forced to go into Ret/caster DPS with no taunt to tank. Great job there.Comment by BisalissyI hope most of them were just experimental because this is far too much WotLK.

We need more new, classic-like abilities similar to Lake of Fire and Consumed by Rage. And, even though it's far and few in between, there are some nice ones here. I love the Grimore of Synergy, Balefire Bolt and Focus Fire.

Also, where's Seal Twisting?Comment by SwiftHunternot really much for tank warlock. what is the point.Comment by DarnakI don't get it. It was supposed to be something new and fun, experiments, entertainment, craziness. This is boring and a mix of old and boring stuff.Comment by PikachuMexYou guys had the perfect opportunity and the perfect timing to let classic shine again, and you ruined it by bringing
wotlk and retail into classic, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzComment by johntravolta342Are people seriously complaining that boring vanilla specs might actually become slightly more interesting to play and have some depth to them? Jesus just go play era if you only want to spam frostbolt, all of these are great. Wrath classes in vanilla setting sounds great.
