A must for raiding arcane mages, due to their heavy reliance on AM in their cycles. This glyph beefs up the damage output of Arcane Missiles by a significant amound, provided you are sporting a decent crit rate. Glyph of Arcane Missiles – Increases the critical strike damage bonus of Arcane Missiles by 25%. The glyph is worthless for both solo and PvP content. Both fire and frost AoE spells are superior to Arcane Explosion, so it is highly recommended to use Flamestrike and Blizzard instead of AE. Glyph of Arcane Explosion – Reduces the mana cost of Arcane Explosion by 10%.Īn excellent glyph to have if you’re going to be using Arcane Explosion a lot in a raiding environment. It can be excruciatingly difficult to find the opportunity to actually cast ABlast, but if you do, the extra damage potential can serve you well.Įven less useful for solo efforts, as an extra 3 or 6% damage is mostly irrelevant when fighting most mobs. Somewhat less powerful for PvP, due to the heavy emphasis on movement. A must for any raider, not having it is a significant DPS loss. Glyph of Arcane Blast – Increases the damage from your Arcane Blast buff by 3%.Ī very powerful glyph for arcane mages. PvP mages have better options, soloing mages have better options, raiding mages have better options. It is outshone in every aspect of the game by other, better glyphs. Glyph of Arcane Barrage – Reduces the cost of Arcane Barrage by 20%.Ī glyph that screams “mediocre”. Due to their nature of being minor glyphs, it’s largely inconsequential if you use them or not. They will also be given a ranking according to the following scale: The glyphs will be ranked in the following categories: Raiding (group PvE), Solo, and PvP. Minor glyphs are typically pointless and stupid, while major glyphs tend to be really powerful or really stupid. You can use 3 major glyphs and three minor ones. People who do alchemy are called alchemists people who do inscriptions are called Inscribers, or Inscriptionists, or inkers, scribes or cabbage patch kids, depending upon who you ask. They cannot agree on a name, which makes them hard to refer to. In my case, there were more intelligence nodes in the radius than dexterity, strength, or willpower, so it made sense to use a Glyph there that stacked an intelligence-based bonus.Glyphs are made by strange people who have the Inscription profession. Since it's a rare Glyph, it also has an additional fixed bonus when I have 40 intelligence unlocked in that radius.Īs you play and level, you'll unlock more class-specialised Glyphs and more Glyph slots through your expanded Paragon board, but generally, the key is placing a Glyph where its bonus can stack the highest based on the nodes available in its radius. For example, my rare Necromancer Glyph has a radius of three on either side, and for every +5 intelligence node I unlock in that area, my skeletal mages get a +3.7% damage bonus. You'll have to build a path to your first Glyph slot via unlocking nodes as you get Paragon points from levelling, and finally unlock the slot itself before you can place one in it.Įach Glyph has both a Radius and a Bonus or set of bonuses it applies, which actively benefit from each other. Once you have a Glyph, you need to slot it into your Paragon board. ![]()
