WoW SoD Phase 2 Dev Interview Key Takeaways

We have gathered the most important information from the almost 30-minute interview so you can have a better understanding of what you can expect in Phase 2.

WoW SoD Phase 2 Runes

We will be getting only 6-7 new runes per class in Phase 2 as the devs confirmed that there won't be any runes for Helms and Wrists. 

WoW SoD Phase 2 Dual Specialization

Unfortunately, players will not be getting access to Dual Specialiazation, however, it may become available in later phases. It may become a gold sink later into the game, however, this might be subject to change. 

WoW SoD Phase 2 Waylaid Supplies

Great news for everyone that has been struggling to increase their reputation as Waylaid Supplies will no longer be counted as uniques. That means no more frustrations from being forced to return to capital cities everytime you loot Waylaid Supplies.

Phase 2 will also introduce quality-of-life skill books that will offer enhancements for classes. The devs confirmed that they will monitor community feedback and provide changes accordingly.

WoW SoD Phase 2 World Buffs

We will be getting a new world buff similar to the one that was granted from the 10-man Blackfathom Deep raid. This time Gnomeregan will be the source of the new buff as Stranglethorn Vale will not have its separate PvP World Buff.

WoW SoD Phase 2 Professions

There are no current plans of introducing Vellums (Items that remove the need for an Enchanter to manually enchant gear) for Enchanters as Blizzard wishes to encourage more social interaction between players. 

Although nothing was confirmed, we might expect some buffs to gathering professions that provide beneficial stats (perks similar to Lifeblood from Herbalism).

WoW SoD Phase 2 Battleground Experience
