    How to Glyph as Unholy DPS?

    I just can't figure out, what's the best Glyph to use.

    http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deat...h=081703050403

    Death Strike, Scourge Strike, Blood Strike

    or

    Death Strike, Plague Strike, Blood Strike

    or

    Death Strike, Scourge Strike, Plague Strike

    My rotation usually is:

    IT - PS - SS - BS - BS - Runic Power Dump (DC or UB) and then I alternate BS/SS until Diseases are about to run out, then IT - PS again, and back to BS/SS...

    With this rotation I'm not so sure about SS Glyph, I believe I'd fare better with Death Strike, Plague Strike and Blood Strike Glyphs as major.

    Anyone got any suggestions? Ideas?

    For pure PvE raid DPS your picks should be:

    Scourge Strike, Icy Touch, Ghoul
    Pestilence, Horn of Winter, Raise Dead
    Served steaming hot, right out of the waffle grill. With just the right amount of STFU poured on top.

    none of the above..

    DS is a totally wasted glyph as a raid dps'er if your having to use DS, something is going wrong.
    SS glyph is nice, but rather RNG'ish.
    Blood strike glyph has no use at all in pve. it does NOT count desecration as a snare.

    (nabbed off EJ) ideal unholy dps glyphs.
    Major

    * Glyph of Plague Strike:
    * Glyph of Bone Shield:
    * Glyph of the Ghoul or Glyph of Scourge Strike (or IT if you lack RP)

    Minor
    * Glyph of Pestilence:
    * Glyph of Horn of Winter:
    * Glyph of Blood Tap or Glyph of Raise Dead.

    My glyphs as well, works quite nice in game.

    Then you can glyph whatever-the-hell you want, really.

    Grab whatever fits your playstyle the best, and only you know how your playstyle goes.

    If you want the IDEAL glyph set for the highest performance, well, that's another matter. For just playing around, just grab whatever you fancy.

    Technically SS glyph is rather RNG'ish, but in actual use doesn't really seem so. If I'm in a sustained situation, it almost always refreshes the diseases before they run out, but perhaps that's just my isolated experience.

    SS glyph is crap if you rely on using PS for Desecration to keep the constant 5% damage

    I don't disagree, I was just making an observation in response to the RNG comment about SS glyph.

    Desecration is crap.

    1) You have to move too much to maintain the bonus.

    2) It covers the ground making boss abilities more difficult for the raid to see. This is a lesser offense, but of concern to some.
