Flame Shock in 3.3 (I don't know if we ever got a clear answer to this question)

[whowherewhat?]

Should we glyph for it? Or will Lava replace it like in ToC? I don't remember us coming to a clear consensus about this...

[Ishixaph]

I think that it will still be better then Lava, because of the haste scaling change!

See Zamir's Post #54 in the previous "Glyph of Flame Shock Changes" thread. That ranks our top 6 glyphs.

If Glyph of Flame Shock remains as a 60% boost to tick crit damage, and if this 60% is applied in the expected way, then glyphs ordered by DPS value would be:

1. Lightning Bolt, ~280 DPS
2. Totem of Wrath, ~180 DPS
3. Lava, ~130 DPS == Flametongue, ~130 DPS
4. Flame Shock, ~80 DPS
5. Elemental Mastery, ~50 DPS

Flametongue would overtake Lava in some circumstances at highest gear levels. Break even would be:
DEP of 2% crit / (DEP of Glyph of Lava / total spellpower)

The lovely FS crits which the current version of the glyph provides will now be rolled into the spell along with the haste scaling. The new revision of the glyph will no longer be worthy as in Zamir's post of the actual numbers.

I stand corrected, sorry for my misleading post!

I think Lava Burst will be more fun then flame tongue to glyph, but as Zamir said, flame tongue will be better in higher gear lvls.
