Two classes in World of Warcraft Classic: Season of Discovery are given abilities previously restricted by faction. Druids get Wild Strikes, which enables the effects of Windfury for the Alliance, while Hunters get Aspect of the Lion, which mimics Blessing of Kings for the Horde.
WoW Classic: Season of Discovery Level Cap
Every Season of Discovery Phase will increase the max level Cap in SoD – starting at a relatively low 25, and eventually reaching lvl 60.
Hunters’ Aspect of the Lion is arguably one of its strongest Runes, especially in group play, and is well worth going out of the way for when getting close to Level 20. This guide covers the specific effects of Aspect of the Lion, and how to get the Aspect of the Lion Rune for both Alliance and Horde Hunters.

Aspect of the Lion provides essentially the same effect as Blessing of Kings, a buff that Paladins can unlock relatively late into the Protection tree. Aspect of the Lion works like other Hunter aspects, though, in that party members share the buff without it having to be applied directly by the Hunter.
This Rune grants all the Hunter’s nearby party members a 10% boost to all stats, while the Hunter gets a fat 20% boost to all their own stats. It’s a very simple effect, but one that the Horde have never had access to until relatively recently in retail World of Warcraft. It’s one of the best Hunter Runes that shows its potential in group content, so be prepared and pick this up before grouping up for dungeons and raids.
WoW Classic: Season of Discovery Server List
Both the North American and European regions are gaining plenty of WoW Season of Discovery servers – and so is Australia and the OCE region.
How To Get The Aspect of the Lion SoD Rune
To unlock Aspect of the Lion Hunters must head to the Wetlands – both Alliance and Horde members have the same requirements. At the very south of the Wetlands, on the border of the zone and Loch Modan, there is a cave filled with spiders called Thelgen Rock Cave.
Deep in this cave Hunters will find an elite NPC owl named Carrodin – defeat this NPC and loot it to earn the Rune of Aspect of the Lion. Several classes must explore this cave for a Rune, so group up and Discover this Rune with others nearby to make it a bit easier.
