Just realized how much of a moron I am in the current game. I was doing Imperator last night and this other priest was quite a bit ahead of me on the healing meters and I could not for the life of me figure out why. I then realized that the name of the game is to change out glyphs and talents per group/raid (encounter?) setting. Hence the fucking dust and books everyone carries.

God damn I'm an idiot. But oh well, back to improved healing like I'm used to!

I wish hunter glyphs and talents were even interesting enough to swap out ever. Most of us don't use pets any more but still have pet glyphs because nothing is worth swapping there.

What string are you using for sniping? max(20% db) ?
25% dbmarket

Basically I chose that string just so I can watch all the posts come in at that rate. Usually great for scooping up easy materials (picked up 600 sumptuous fur at 2g/20 last night **regular price of 2.5g/ea**).

The only problem I have with it right now is that I broke the majority of the glyph market on my server so all the glyphs the competition undercut me on show up on the snipe list because I drove the prices down to mill cost.

Well the other side of the pendulum is monks where you dont have any glyph option because we have 3 mandatory ones that should be class base anyways.

Glyphs went from being really awesome and you had to choose which ones you like to now most being shitty or useless on DK.

I don't know why Blizzard constantly needs to "fix" shit.

I had been using the talent setup of CoW and Power Word: Solace. The Super Shield Glyph that makes PW:S Heal as well. This makes you a nuclear weapon in Heroics but makes raids kind of a pain, eve using Clique.

After looking at talents again (so used to just having the optimum talents and never touching them again until a patch or something like the first 7 years of the game), I immediately realized how useful it would be to have Surge of Light and the Prayer of Mending talent instead. Also changed to the Weakened Soul glyph so I can spam it more and thus, get more mending stacks and use surge of light as I crit.

It actually made raid healing much more fun as well.

Unrelated note, but I came across a show called Log Horizon (anime) the other day that everyone here can probably enjoy if they've never heard of it. Covers basically every MMORPG Trope you can possibly imagine. Bunch of people get trapped in an MMORPG in their avatars, so they're stuck as cat-people. Men as women, women as men, Player Killers, exploiting noobs, etc and have to deal with typical MMO problems... but as their real life. Its some pretty great shit. And I normally dislike Animes.

Yeah coming back from vanilla the whole talent and glyph thing seems so underwhelming compared to old school talent trees. Even the talents are sort of meh. Glyphs are even more meh. I get why they made the change to get away from the talent tree but that doesn't mean I have to enjoy it more.

Admittedly I am professionally bad, but I honestly only ever change my Glyphs once at the start of each expansion when all the changes happen. I can maybe see swapping out my Blink glyph for a different Blink glyph in certain situations but so many of the Arcane Mage glyphs seem terrible that I don't really see the point. Like the Remove Curse glyph, christ I think the only time Ive even cast Remove Curse in the past 6 freaking years was in the Molten Core anniversary raid and I had to hunt through my spellbook to find it even then.

Maybe its a healer kind of thing. But the setups for Discipline in Raid and Group are distinctly more efficient. Not sure how it is with the other healers, although I know Holy Priest has similar things (obviously).

Its kinda sad but for some of my characters my minor glyphs are way more interesting than the majors. A lot of the majors that look like they might be a DPS increase often wind up being a wash like the shaman one that halves the cool down of your elemental but also halves the duration once summoned. Its basically a case of picking out either a glyph for utility or search for a rare one that is a minor dps boost.

The major glyph that really pisses me off is the balance druid one that gimps your starfall to avoid suicide. I have no idea why they don't revert starfall to work like it did in pandaria. It really blows gimping the damage of my main aoe in order not to comite suicide for my entire raid.

Sucks about shield slam glyph. About the only damn utility I brought to 5man content was offensive dispels. THANKS PVP. They can make a boomkin ability only fire once every 15 seconds but apparently its too hard to apply that to shield slam/glyph as well I guess.

There are a few glyphs warriors can switch out depending on the fight but I don't find that my definition of fun or a good system. Like if I'm not going to Pummel on this boss no need to have that Glyph in there. If I pummel all the time then have the glyph. If I need my slam to dispel magic effects put the glyph there. If I don't then lose it. IMO they should have made the glyph system more generic to just enhance your character (even if that means there is the "one true spec") instead of modifying certain abilities which may or may not effect certain raid bosses.

What was said.... minors are often more interesting. If a major is a slight dps increase, it becomes necessary which removes any option we have in the first place. Just a boring system. Id rather have old talents setup without glyphs.

Frankly I would at this point be for removing major glpyhs and just adding another 3 minor glyph for fun cosmetic non combat stuff. It would be easier to balance/get some things fixed like starfall hitting every damn thing in an 80 yard diameter.

I don't even care for the talent system all that much. In general most of the talents are like If condition A choose Talent X. If condition B choose Talent Y. Else choose talent Z. Not exactly deep.

They should just scrap glyphs and bring back the old talent system. At least there was some sort of decision making.
