Rune Engraving is a new system in Wow Season of Discovery that allows players to use skills added in future DLCs. It brings a lot of excitement and changes to the gameplay of WoW Classic Vanilla.
Nothing is more remarkable for Rogue players than having access to some of the future DLC skills in the early game. We can combine these new
runes in-game to create a new Rogue Build, with a total of 24
runes available so far. This opens up endless possibilities and promises an exhilarating experience.
