Hello fellow World of Warcraft enthusiasts! My name is Venesh and I have been playing WoW since original Classic. This includes several other MMORPGs and other genres. I enjoy theory crafting and maximizing my playtime to the fullest. Community is everything and I want to help people get the most out of their World of Warcraft experience.
Why the minor glyphs for water walking and breathing?
There are very few valuable Minor Glyphs available, and having those three mean you no longer have to carry any Reagents, meaning you can never run out and have 3 extra inventory slots.
The WotLK Shaman discord says for Glyphs: “And you should never use Windfury Glyph. It’s bad.” So this is just the opposite instruction. What to do.. hmm?
Do they specify why this is the case?
It just does less dps, that simple.
I’m sure there would be more math to the question than that.
You can use the sim tool to figure this out. I would strongly suggest you guys go look at some other guides and update this because there is just so many blatant falsehoods in this guide that you are severely hurting the performance of your readers.
Armor Pen/Stam gem makes no sense
