hey... whatever happened to glyphs?

[Sierra85]

They are not important anymore, and there is not even a glyph screen to apply or remove the vanity ones?

People say they miss reforging, well i miss glyphs. Legion gave us a lot of content but it also took some away.

[JemiS]

You apply them directly to spells. No longer a cap on number, just limited to one per spell.

[Uko]

You apply glyphs to spells now.

[ShuaVerde]

All glyphs are now cosmetic and are applied/removed directly on the spellbook page.

they need to ramp up on glyphs, not scale back, more customization not less

I was shocked with how little glyphs were left per spec. I know some of the major glyphs became talent options basically and some were baked into the classes, but sometimes some of them were nice, like the one that allowed prot paladins consecration to follow them around. I'm kinda hoping for more glyphs with 7.2 since they are saying they want to add so much fun new things.

I would love to see more glyphs, but purely cosmetic ones as balancing is enough of an issue already.

Glyphs to change the colors of various effects etc would be awesome. Blizzard also needs to roll back the amount of mats needed to make glyphs. For something cosmetic, it's incredibly expensive to purchase most glyphs.

The mats for most glyphs are actually absurdly cheap, scribes just gouge the hell out of them. Only the Legion glyphs actually have fairly hefty material costs.

I sold a glyph of stars for 1.8k, the mats cost me 10g.

I do wish they had kept more glyphs around, the ones left are...so blasé. I especially miss ones like Path of Frost reducing fall damage, that was pretty damn handy.

They didn't want glyphs to be a second talent system like they were previously and only have cosmetic affects.

Glyphs are still there, there are only minors ones now, though. You use them directly on the spell and it puts a purple dogear on the spell's portrait, noting that it's glyphed.

The new system is terrible.

One step forward, two steps back.

Just another forum poster who has more brains then the guy at Blizzard who decided "less customization was better."

Non cosmetic glyphs would have gotten in the way of class fantasy. - Blizz

[Dread Pirate Phayde]

I really miss a lot of the minor glyphs that they used to have, like the trail of fire left by warlocks mount over water, I don't really understand why they removed most of them, and I'm not overly impressed with what they kept.

[FelPlague]

i wish they had added more glyphs, like three options for each demon, as the issue is the wrathguard glyph is gone... its not in the game... so its felguard or nothing, also doomguard or infernal, no glyphs... i woulda loved a inquisitor, or dreadlord, cause they werei n the beta....

glyph of nightmares, allowed them to run across water and it shot fire behind it like burning rush when on water

[Ticj]

I dont understand why they didnt just keep the UI? It's such a pain in the ass to see what you have and what you want to get now.


Hell, 99% of players arent even going to know that there are still glyphs in the game in a way, because the only way to see that is to find some random vendor that sells the tomes.

Yeah I was really shocked about the lack of info re: glyphs come Legion. No where telling you (as a non scribe) how to obtain them, what they did, how to equip them etc. You had to actively search how to use them. So disheartening, dropped like scenarios.
