    Glyph of shadowbolt

    The minor glyph of shadow bolt does not seem to work, shouldnt it split the bolt into 3 smaller attacks ? it doesnt on mine, ist still the old one shot at the target.

    Maybe it's deactivated at the moment, it's known to cause problems when changing specs (i.E. Shadow Bolt not becoming Malefic Grasp).

    Is it the animation, or the combatlogging? They may have changed how it deals damage as when it was splitting into 3 attacks it was giving a very slightly increased chance of proccing Molten Core, making it a DPS increase that is not intended for a cosmetic glyph.

    Well the original Glyphed Shadowbolts were reduced in size dramatically for 5.0, so maybe they were reduced in size again, to a point where it's completely unnoticeable

    Still works fine for me on EU
    Try a lot of relogs swapping of the glyph and swapping of specs and hopefully it will come back for you.

    It is http://www.wowhead.com/spell=122351

    The 3 attacks used to be able to crit individually in earlier beta builds. That was the only direct dps increase it was providing. However it still provides an indirect increase because each cast with the glyph has 3 chances to proc "on hit" stuff. So a trinket that stacks on hit will get 3 stacks with each cast of shadow bolt. Which also means 3 chances at Demonic fury

    That has nothing to do with Molten core because Molten core its proced by wild imps and SF/CW unless again the tooltip isnt saying everything.
    "When Shadowflame or a Wild Imp deals damage you have an 8% chance to trigger Molten Core."

    Also if you have the SB glyph and use it doesnt proc 3x on for example the Spine trinket, dunno about others.

    My bad, think an old build it was Shadow Bolt's hitting a Shadowflamed target rather than Shadowflame ticks themselves.
