Cataclysm Glyphs, Heroic SFK and Deadmines

[Boubouille]

Cataclysm - Glyph Interface Preview
The new interface for Glyphs is finally available and it comes with a couple of very interesting improvements.

• The biggest change, Glyphs are no longer a consumable item. You learn them and can swap them at any time after that, without having to buy them again.
• Prime Glyphs slots have been added
• All Glyphs are now listed, including the one you didn't learn yet.
• You can search for Glyphs, and filter them.

[Ryme]

So glad to hear we don't have to wait for SFK heroic

[Krogh]

Arctic Wolf *New* - Alters the appearance of your Ghost Wolf transformation, causing it to resemble an arctic wolf.

Woop?

[frozenpatato]

Hell yeah Heroics at launch!

I love the new glyph interface too

[Rakavys]

epic bread

[Zaerix]

I'm glad we don't have to wait for H DM or H SFK. Looks like we can kill all suspicion of them going the way of the dance studios.

*patiently awaits for news of Paladin glyphs*

[Rockapotamus]

Awesomesauce, cool new glyph UI

[Wingwraith]

Vendetta for DK's?

I think that may be under the wrong class.

[MusikDisaster]

YAY H SFK AND DM ON LAUNCH. I am a happy panda.

[furydeath]

they also changed how we get our dark phoenix.

[NerdsRSexi2]

So what does this mean for Scribes? Will they still make the base glyph and then people have to buy that?

[Zoros]

Good job dividing dmg/heal/crit glyphs from glyphs that modifies spells in two different categories. Probably glyphs will start being true options.

Still no glyphs for the rest of classes?

[Katastrophe]

Soo... No more real use for inscription then?

Love the UI though!

[lonedrifter]

The glyphs that are out are looking nice! good to hear DM and SFK Heroic will be available at lauch =D

[Necrotan]

Arctic Wolf *New* - Alters the appearance of your Ghost Wolf transformation, causing it to resemble an arctic wolf.

Woop?

Not -everything- has to increase your dps, ya know.

[molinator]

I'm really enticed by the new shaman glyphs. Hex, Grounding totem, healing stream totem. Even the totemic recall one might end up being good.

[Bidelle]

Vendetta is a rogue talent, not a DK one anymore.

[davivmcd]

Edit: nvm, too slow on the Vendetta catch =P

[Helgrimm]

yeah... what about inscription? if its a one time thing, wont that just ruin inscriptions value? noone will want to take up inscription, since the scribe only benefits ( cant even think of any) are probably not worth the lack of trade value this profession has.

This idea seems very nice, but i hope there will be something added/changed to make inscription a good profession spot to use.

[Trork]

now they just want to kill the scribes income by making the glyphs "soulbound"
