Well it's been a month and no one else has posted anything yet. So... this blog may or may not continue. I don't want to monopolize the whole thing (that's what i have my personal blog for =P).
Today I decided to check the AH (auction house) yet again for a couple of the new glyphs. I'm debating picking up the Glyph of Holy Shock for the Pally. Cutting an extra second off an instant cast heal would be nice. I don't play her very much now though (we actually got a real holy paladin main in guild now!) so I don't think I want to invest the money on that glyph yet. Once it comes down in price I may pick it up.
I did pick up Glyph of Earth Shield though for Kammi. I looked at the glyphs I had and looked at the benefit on the ES glyph. Glyph of Lesser Healing Wave does 20% more if your target is affected by Earth Shield. That's great... if I'm tank healing since it's the tank I put ES on. So that glyph has been not all that useful for me since I'm usually raid healing. So I'm hoping that the Glyph of Earth Shield, which does 20% more healing, will be more of a benefit overall on my healing. I'll let you know how it goes.
I'm also using a new addon called ShieldsUp! which has increased my shield uptime greatly (has sound warnings when shields wear off. A church bell means earth shield wore off, a gong means that water shield has worn off).

I ended up going with the glyphs of LHW, ES, and CH. Wow. In Ulduar last night I was hanging at the top of the healing meters most of the night, and in the WMO parse at the end of the raid, I was at the top. Barely noticed a mana regen loss from not having the Water Mastery glyph. I did use mana tide totem a couple times more than normal but only used one mana potion.
ReplyDeleteI used a lot of LHW in Ulduar last night, and I had an almost 6k crit on ES on my tank.
I think this is the glyph combo that I'll be hanging onto for awhile. I might toy with the idea of the riptide glyph, but I'm thinking an extra 6 seconds on riptide isnt worth giving up a 4th CH target or 20% more healing from ES and LHW.
