Re: Patch 3.1 Affliction Glyphs - What will you use?
I'm personally going to use Haunt, Life Tap, and Curse of Agony. Pretty sure that's be best set up, unless you never use Curse of Agony, but I don't know what then (UA?). |

Re: Patch 3.1 Affliction Glyphs - What will you use?
Haunt, Life Tap, and I wasn't sure if Curse of Agony or Corr would be better? Would these same glyphs be good for PvE and PvP or only one or the other? |

Re: Patch 3.1 Affliction Glyphs - What will you use?
Does the Glyph of Corruption still stack with the Nighfall talent? If so, then I'm going to use Corr, Haunt, and Life Tap. |

Re: Patch 3.1 Affliction Glyphs - What will you use?
PvE glyphs for Haunt/Ruin: Life Tap Haunt Curse of Agony Corruption Unstable Affliction (not so much) Drain Soul (minor) Souls (minor) Unending Breath (minor, situationally useful) PvP glyphs for Haunt/SL: Soul Link Howl of Terror Shadowflame Unstable Affliction Fear Corruption Curse of Exhaustion (minor) As far as I know, Glyph of Corruption still stacks with Nightfall. All Warlocks should be using Glyph of Life Tap come 3.1, regardless of spec. The Haunt glyph should provide the highest DPS increase after that. Curse of Agony vs Corruption is situational and really up to taste as neither glyph gives a substantial DPS increase. Howl of Terror is a must for PvP Affliction builds. Soul Link is similarly important. Shadowflame, Unstable Affliction, Fear, and Corruption will give you varying mileage depending on your play style. The Curse of Exhaustion minor glyph is definitely worth a minor slot, even if you don't use it much. Last edited by jon__; April 14, 2009 at 09:22 PM.. |

Re: Patch 3.1 Affliction Glyphs - What will you use?
Overall, I think Curse of Agony will give you a slight advantage over glyph of Corr for two reasons. First, it doesn't rely on RNG, so luck won't have a part in the dps it provides (however, that is also an advantage to Corr if you feel lucky). Second, it increases the amount of time of your corruption -- enough time for you to cast around 2 more shadowbolts per Curse of Agony rotation depeding on haste -- thus providing around the same amount of extra shadowbolts the glyph of Corr would give. Also, since we already take nightfall, we already have a 4% chance for the instant shadowbolts, which is not too much lower than 8% when you really think about the ratio (8/100). |

Re: Patch 3.1 Affliction Glyphs - What will you use?
THanks for the info! For pvp, would death coil be a choice? If not? What why? Wasn't that an increase to the fear effect? If I am mistaken I apologize. |

Death coil glyph wouldn't help out nearly as much as soul link, howl, corruption, or shadowflame glyphs as far as pvp goes we need all the survivability we can get and the howl of terror glyph just adds another trick in our "bag" so to speak.
