Warlords of Draenor: New glyphs
The Warlords of Draenor alpha patch notes revealed that some glyphs will be learned automatically, the recipe for those glyphs to be removed from the game. Many scribes were thrown into a panic, questioning to value of their profession -- not a surprise, really. So early in an expansion's reveal, it's normal to be concerned. However, the dataminers have been hard at work digging into the Warlords client and have found an array of brand new glyphs to be learned. Some of the more interesting glyphs: Glyph of Cleave to eliminate the warrior's baseline Cleave ability Glyph of Energy Flows turns an Evading rogue into a deadly blender Glyph of Play Dead gives all hunter pets possum training Glyph of the Floating Butterfly changes the dynamic of a monk's Fists of Fury altogether Follow along below for all of the new glyphs.
Breakfast Topic: What's your favorite new minor vanity glyph?
Ravens. Dude, I am so excited. Ravens. Shadow priests got friggin' ravens! If I were there with you in person, I would be violently shaking you, screaming "Ravens!" into your face until my nurse came along to medicate me. A few of you may have no idea what I'm talking about. See, Blizzard is overhauling the glyph system (again) for Mists of Pandaria, and they're making a real effort to giving us a bunch of cool new minor glyphs. The stuff being added, like the Glyph of Shadow Ravens that turns shadow priests' shadow orbs into shadow ravens, has no impact on DPS at all. All it impacts is fun, and by a totally measurable +30%. Maybe even 300%. I dunno, I'm having too much fun having shadow ravens to actually do the math. Certainly, there are a lot of cool new minor glyphs being added, and shadow priests aren't the only ones feeling the love. What's your favorite? Is it something your class is getting? Or is it something another class was given that's making you totally jealous you play a lousy boomkin? It's open warfare between Alliance and Horde in Mists of Pandaria, World of Warcraft's next expansion. Jump into five new levels with new talents and class mechanics, try the new monk class, and create a pandaren character to ally with either Horde or Alliance.
