Phase 2 of Season of Discovery brings with it a new level 40 cap. Even without Runes this will massively shake up the meta, but of course, there will always be winners and losers each Phase. This article will cover the most impactful new spells and talents gained between levels 26 and 40, estimating which classes will see the biggest improvements for Phase 2.
This list aims to look into what classes are looking the strongest and weakest in Phase 2 of Season of Discovery, without advance knowledge of what will be added or changed in Phase 2. New Runes and items, as well as changes to existing spells and items will likely have a drastic impact on what is and is not strong in Phase 2.
Warlocks are looking incredible in Phase 2. Destruction gets Ruin, one of the biggest power boosters in Classic. While other specs get similar Critical Damage boosts, most don't get it for just one point. On top of that, Demonology Warlocks get the incredibly powerful Soul Link, which even before Metamorphosis could turn a Warlock into a one-man army.
Unfortunately, the newest rank of Shadow Bolt is at level 36, which could have been a massive hit to Ruin and Warlocks overall. That would be if we didn't have Incinerate, which scales with your level, and does Fire damage, enabling some damage boosts Shadow Bolt can't touch.
To go with Incinerate, Warlocks also get access to Curse of the Elements. While Rank 1 is only a 6% damage increase, that is still a very significant bonus. Deep Destruction also has access to Emberstorm, bringing a flat 10% Fire damage (or 8% if you want Conflagrate). With the extra talent points, Fire Mages could also grab Improved Scorch, which at full stacks increases Fire damage dealt by 15%.
Going along with the massive boosts to Fire damage, the newest rank of Immolate is available at level 40, making it very strong for the Phase. On the flip side, the newest rank of Life Tap is available at 36, which while definitely not as bad as Phase 1, still means pressing it at least once per Shadow Bolt or Incinerate. Corruption and Searing Pain also suffer a bit of a hit, with the newest ranks available at 34.
No list is ever complete without mentioning the brown class. All three of the Warrior capstone talents are immensely strong. Both Mortal Strike and Bloodthirst are instant cast full damage weapon attacks for 30 Rage, and Shield Slam is a high damage single target dispel on for just 20 Rage.
Arms Warriors also get access to Sweeping Strikes and a weapon specialization of their choosing, while Fury Warriors get Death
