Glyphs are not necessary to heal your targets or slay your enemies, but they sure can make things a lot easier to get the job done.
You have 3 major glyphs and 3 minor glyphs; what goes into the major glyphs are more important than the minor glyphs. I will mainly be focusing on what major glyphs you should select for your specific type of priest. For the majority of the time, what you put into the minor glyphs is all up to you. One minor glyph that I do recommend to all priests is Levitate.You’ll never have to worry about collecting feathers again!
Holy Priest Glyphs| Glyph of Guardian Spirit | Requires Level 60 If your Guardian Spirit lasts its entire duration without being triggered, the cooldown is reset to 1 min. |
I will have to say that the guardian spirit glyph is fabulous. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this glyph. With a lowered cooldown when the spell does not get a chance to take effect allows me to use the spell more often. | |
| Glyph of Flash Heal | Requires Level 20 Reduces the mana cost of your Flash Heal by 10%. |
Since we use this spell just as much as we do Greater Healing, I would recommend this glyph, because even if 10% does not seem like much, every little bit helps. | |
| Glyph of Circle of Healing | Requires Level 50 Your Circle of Healing spell heals 1 additional target. |
This, I would say, is the best for raiding. Of course it’s best for raiding! There’s no such thing as a 6 person group! | |
| Glyph of Prayer of Healing | Requires Level 30 Your Prayer of Healing spell also heals an additional 20% of its initial heal over 6 sec. |
A great glyph if you know you are going to be casting PoH a lot, which most holy priests are since we can now cast it for groups other than our own. | |
| Glyph of Renew | Requires Level 15 Reduces the duration of your Renew by 3 sec. but increases the amount healed each tick by 25%. |
The loss of 3 sec isn’t very much, but the gain of 25% more healing, is pretty awesome! | |
| Glyph of Spirit of Redemption | Requires Level 30 Increases the duration of Spirit of Redemption by 6 sec. |
Now, I only recommend this glyph for the pure chance that maybe you don’t have many situations to put good use into the other glyphs and there are times you just wish your SoR was up long enough to save the group/remaining raid members for that last couple of seconds. So, if you feel you may use this glyph, than do not be afraid to get it. |
| Glyph of Mind Flay | Requires Level 20 Increases the range of your Mind Flay spell by 10 yards, but it only reduces the target's movement speed by 10% |
This glyph, I would say is more useful if you are going to raid/group. I wouldn’t recommend getting it before you reach max level, so that you get the most use out of the slowing effect that it does. | |
| Glyph of Shadow Word: Death | Requires Level 62 Targets below 35% health take an additional 10% damage from your Shadow Word: Death spell. |
I think the glyph pretty much speaks for itself, a great glyph for raiding, soloing and grouping. | |
| Glyph of Mind Sear | Requires Level 75 Increases the radius of effect on Mind Sear by 5 yards. |
It’s just great, if you have an extra major glyph available, or do a lot of group killing with your raid/group makes it useful. I’m sure you’re with me and hate it when there are those one or two mobs that sit just outside of the AE. | |
| Glyph of Shadow | Requires Level 20 While in Shadowform, your spell critical strikes increase your spell power by 10% of your Spirit for 10 sec. |
A great glyph, even for dual spec priests, such as me who has more spirit than I think I really should have… | |
| Glyph of Shadow Word: Pain | Requires Level 15 Increases the damage done by your Mind Flay spell by 10% when your target is afflicted with Shadow Word: Pain. |
A must have for Spriests who are raiding/grouping, and with the talent to renew SW:P you can just Mind Flay till your eyes pop out! |
| Glyph of Power Word: Shield | Requires Level 15 Your Power Word: Shield also heals the target for 20% of the absorption amount. |
As a disc priest you cast pw:s more often than any other spec of priest, getting more use out of the healing effect of the glyph. | |
| Glyph of Flash Heal | Requires Level 20 Reduces the mana cost of your Flash Heal by 10%. |
Flash Heal is a pretty major spell for disc priests, getting that 10% off of the mana cost can help a whole lot. | |
| Glyph of Pain Suppression | Requires Level 50 Allows Pain Suppression to be cast while stunned. |
Just the thought of it is wonderful! | |
| Glyph of Penance | Requires
Level 60 Reduces the cooldown of Penance by 2 sec. |
Because Penance is a major spell as a disc priest, this is a must have glyph. | |
| Glyph of Renew | Requires Level 15 Reduces the duration of your Renew by 3 sec. but increases the amount healed each tick by 25%. |
With this glyph, it'll help make renew a more powerful spell to cast as a disc priest, since you don't have talent points to boost it's power. |
