Shaman glyph changes in patch 5.0.4
When the new 5.0 patch flips over on Aug. 28, will you be ready with glyphs? Blizzard is recycling old glyphs instead of making new spell IDs and charring old ones. Some glyphs are staying the same, some are new, but some share IDs with old Cataclysm glyphs.
Below is our list of new or changing glyphs for shaman. This is not a list of changing tooltips, just which glyphs you ought to have if you want to automatically have the new glyphs when the patch flips over.
Shaman gain no brand new glyphs but recycle some of the boring glyphs into cool cosmetic minors.
Glyphs that are changing into new majors:
Shocking becomes Capacitor Totem
Elemental Mastery becomes Chaining
Windfury Weapon becomes Cleansing Waters
Water Breathing becomes Healing Storm
Earthliving Weapon becomes Purge
Lava Burst becomes Spirit Walk
Stormstrike becomes Spiritwalker's Grace
Lightning Bolt becomes Telluric Currents
Stoneclaw Totem becomes Totemic Vigor
Chain Heal becomes Unstable Earth
Flametongue Weapon becomes Wind Shear
Glyphs that are changing into new minors:
Earth Shield becomes Deluge
Renewed Life becomes Far Sight
Lightning Shield becomes the Lakestrider
the Arctic Wolf becomes the Spectral Wolf
