Choosing The Right Glyphs For Leveling A Fire Mage
The Inscription profession was introduced to the game with the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, and players gained the abilities to modify their spells and abilities using the Glyphs created by this profession. This went over very well with people who had been playing the game for a long time and had a good idea of how these things worked, but new players were left scratching their heads in confusion.
I think that newbies have more than enough details to sort out on their own when starting out in WoW, and so I thought I’d peel away some of the guesswork by showing everyone the glyphs I used when leveling my new fire mage.
Glyph of Fireball - The de facto winner for your first major glyph. Fireball is the main nuke you will use while leveling, and accounts for a high percentage of your damage. The glyph bumps up the spell’s crit percentage by 5% and removes the fairly weak damage-over-time component of the spell. This works out nicely in your favor. Grab this one first for sure.
Glyph of Improved Scorch - I picked this one up next, and I suggest you do the same. It applies a full stack of the Improved Scorch debuff, which means you’ll actually get to take advantage of it without being in a group! An extra 5% chance to crit is a pretty easy call.
Glyph of Frostfire Bolt - Since you don’t unlock your last major glyph until level 80, I figured it would make sense to allocate it to one of your strongest spells at level 80. 2% damage and 2% critical strike chance makes this spell even more useful than it already is.
That’s all folks. Those are the glyphs that got my fire mage from level 1 to level 80. If you want to see the talent build I used, you can check out the link I’ve included below.
