Rogue Glyphs in WotLK -GAMEPLAY SPOILER
Hello there! Taking some time out from Northrend to do some wriritng about the rogue glyphs that will appear in WotLK (and apparantly in the patch before that).
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!

A quick introduction.
Getting my frost-bitten ass off the zepplin, i land myself in howling fjord, one of two new areas to quest in.
The quests are fun, and definately different, and as the place is (gasp) level 68, it means everything is relatively easy.
Put your minds at rest, tier 6 wielders, as the green quest drops aren't anywhere near the stats of the likes of us!
----IMPORTANT----
Murder spree is now my favourite spell. It almost kills a mob. its amazing! It's also useable from stealth or in combat, so it's very, very good :)

Something worthwhile to read real soon!
While at this very moment in time i have nothing viably improtant to say.. i would like to mention something that sounds very very interesting happening over on Crimson's Blog over the next few days.
He has, without a doubt, one of the best rogue blogs out there, with many many interesting reads (you don't need ot be a rogue to enjoy them, as some are general wow topics).
Lately he has had the genious idea of interviewing the classleaders and veteran guildies of our guild. Please people, give it a look, as i'm sure it will be incredibly interesting.
It's not up yet, as its a bit of a WIP, but i'll be sure to post a link to it the second it appears!
(I wonder if he will let me interview him?) hehe

Awryn Eyecandy -A space filler
Well, some of you might, or might not know that i'm a graphics uni student, who finished last year.
Here's a little something of Awryn i did, and i'll use it now as a bit of a space filler :P
Unfortunatley it gets rasterized (and therefore a bit pixelated) when i load it up on here, but nevermind!
