First thing (and this is a kind of spoiler, not a big one though) is what glyphs are, and how they actually work.
Until now, i've been a little in the dark aobut inscription and it's system, and i tohught it was kind of an enchant you put on a spell. This is technically true, but it's a little more complicated than that.
Rather than glyphing every spell you can get your hands on, blizzard developed a 'glyph tab' seen here:
(-ARGH I had to put a damned 'a' on my name, apparantly someone already had it!!!)Anyway, there are 6 glyph 'slots' -three minor glyph slots and three major.
Now sense tells me that the major glyphs will be the more useful ones (i'm sure this isn't strictly true, but hey). but this little system stops us from glyph-whoring. It's gonna make us think about what glyphs we want. Cool huh?
All in all, i think i witnessed about 15 glyphs so far for rogues. I didn't screen them all, but i did screen the ones i thought would be most useful to a raiding rogue:
They seem pretty cool, no setbacks, just pure buffage. However this last one needs a little calculation. It's a garrote glyph, and it increases it's potency by 45%, however it takes it's duration off by 3 seconds:
While i should be working out whether it's really beneficial, i think i'll save it til im 80 :)
I've also noticed that they have a one hour cooldown. I'm not quite sure if that's refering to the enchanting itself, or the cooldown the glyph has during gameplay. I can only hope not!
Well, there you go for now! A sneaky preview of our Northrend glyphs!
Have fun, and speak to you soon!

Now thats some amazing glyphs ...
I tried to find some reliable sites for info on glyphs and all i came up with is the same thing copy/pasted on all of em. No details such as that one on some of em.
Awryn after you check out what that hourly cooldown is can u keep us informed pls?
Is that like a poison for example? Something you need to refresh every hour and it works for an entire hour? Do i have to run around with a stack of glyphs in my inventory?

Glyphs will act like some sort of gem, in the sense that they get 'socketed' ito the correct slot in your glyphs tab :)
as for the cooldown, il be sure to ask an inscriptor at some point soon :)
good post
