Ever wondered which Glyphs fit each warrior spec? This first part of my warrior glyph guide is all about the 3 different PvE specs: tanking with Protection or dealing damage with Fury or Arms.
Don’t hesitate to switch your Glyphs when you want to re-spec your warrior.
Now, let’s take a look at the talent builds and the according glyphs:
Warrior Glyph Guide: Tanking (Protection)
Glyph of Blocking – Increases your block value by 10% for 10 sec after using your Shield Slam ability.
This major Glyph is a must-have for ANY tank. Your block rating is one of the most important stats for tanks right now and you can basically improve it by 10% all the time.
Glyph of Sunder Armor – Your Sunder Armor ability affects a second nearby target.
Sunder Armor is especially useful for AoE tanking. It gets even better with Glyph of Devastate.
Glyph of Devastate – Your Devastate ability now applies two stacks of Sunder Armor.
If you use both Sunder Armor and Devastate you apply 2 stacks on 2 targets – that means you get 4 stacks for the price of only one – this makes AoE tanking easy.
Glyph of Revenge - After using Revenge, your next Heroic Strike costs no rage.
If you tank single targets (and therefore don’t need Sunder Armor) this Glyph will save you rage for other, more important abilities than Heroic Strike.
Warrior Glyph Guide: Fury DPS
Glyph of Heroic Strike – You gain 10 rage when you critically strike with your Heroic Strike ability.
Great for single-target situations in which you don’t use AoE abilities.
Glyph of Cleaving – Increases the number of targets your Cleave hits by 1.
This is self-explaining. In AoE situations, use this major Glyph instead of Heroic Strike.
Glyph of Execution – Your Execute ability deals damage as if you had 10 additional rage.
Glyph of Execution boosts your damage or keeps up your damage if you spend the rage on other skills.
Glyph of Whirlwind – Reduces the cooldown of your Whirlwind by 2 sec.
The third Glyph that I suggest in my warrior glyph guide for Fury DPS specs. Whirlwind is a very important skill and 2 seconds can make a big difference in tight situations or to max your character.
