Major Glyphs
- Glyph of Inferno Blast
Your Fire Blast and Inferno Blast spells now also spread Living Bomb, cause Frost Bomb to instantly explode, and cause Nether Tempest to instantly fire its secondary damage at all nearby targets.Your Inferno Blast spell spreads Pyroblast, Ignite, and Combustion to 1 additional target.
It looks like they only want Inferno Blast used with Fire (it won't proc Mage Bombs anymore). It also looks like they don't want people to use Scorch as often with that mana increase.
Unless I'm reading it wrong, this looks like a slight buff to Arcane (minus Scorch weaving possibly). Another nerf to Critical Mass as well (so Fire is even less viable now?).
