The official release date for SoD Phase 4 is still unknown. However, PTR usually lasts for two weeks, so it’s highly likely that we might see the fourth phase’s arrival by the end of June.
Since SoD Phase 4 PTR is now in full swing, we don’t need to rely on datamined information or wait for Phase 4 to go live to learn about the new runes. As for the existing ones, they have undergone adjustments and changes, a topic we will cover later. For now, let’s take a look at the new SoD Phase 4 runes for all playable classes in Season of Discovery.
