we are talking about glyphs that there used to be
glyphs were sth like conduits/legendary effects(in terms of customization) similar to set bonuses/lvl perks/talent tree or tier perks/even coloured sockets
it was all deleted and its now presented as a new super system that u have to grind to unlock for weeks or months
I think Glyphs would have worked better if the effects were like the Endurance and Finesse conduits. For the most part, those are purely based on player preference. Potency is just based off of whatever does the most damage.
Glyphs and conduits are more or less the same shit. Except one you buy from teh ah and the other you farm the fuck out of.
Essences were much better. You had to work for them, and they were guaranteed.
And who doesn't? Fortunately they are coming back in Classic WotLK.
Much better than Azerite:
1. Farming azerite to increase necklace level
2. Farming specific azerite trait gear
3. Spending gold to reset azerite gear
4. Losing trait when you change gear.
or soulbinds/conduit:
1. Leveling renown level to unlock soulbinds/conduits
2. leveling conduit ranks
3. conduit energy for switch conduits
4. Losing everything when change covenant.
They are the same borrowed power system that achieves exactly the same goal, except glyphs don't need farming.
The aesthetic minor glyphs were pretty cool.
Probably running on a Pentium 4
Covenants are so cool
1. Hit max level.
2. Google "best covenant fire mage pve"
3. Go to oribos, select covenant you wish to join.
4. ???
5. Forget system exists and spend your time doing laps of oribos.
WOW so much fun! Blizz give us more of these super engaging systems please!!!!!
Blizzard died when they removed the trails of fire from the Dreadsteed while running on water. No idea why they removed it beside it being fun and cool.
Glyphs still exist though. Just not the UI for them nor do they affect output. Honestly, they were always weak. I don't understand what you miss about them.
Just cause you made gold off them? Get something else to make gold from.
