  Ask a Beta Tester: More about inscription

  Ask a Beta Tester: More about inscription Posted on 2008 under Uncategorized | No Comment 6 Sep Filed under: Wrath of the Lich King, Inscription We might have had more news today — if Blizzard’s beta servers could stay online for more than five minutes consecutively. We’ve been staring a lot at the “World Server Down” message since Blizzard rolled out patch 8905 late last night (or early this morning, depending on how you look at these things). Let’s start today off with more on Inscription. A new beta patch went up last night with a few changes, including…. “Pomaces” have been renamed “Pigments” and have shiny new icons that look less like dust (they were various colors of enchanting dust icons) and look more like… well, I suppose, pigments.You can judge for yourself what you think they look most like. New Glyphs for Shamans, Warlocks, and Warriors. More Glyphs with realistic, skill level appropriate material costs. (Though the majority of them still need the exact same ink, herb, and one of each kind of parchment.) The Glyph cooldown has been changed. Though applying a Glyph still starts an hour cooldown, the cooldown is only for that Glyph, specifically. So if, for example, my Paladin applies Glyph of Blessing of Wisdom, I cannot apply Glyph of Blessing of Wisdom again for an hour. However, I could instantly swap six healing Glyphs for six tanking Glyphs — I’d just have to wait to switch back to my original healing Glyphs. (And, of course, I’d have to have a new set of healing Glyphs to swap to, as removing them to put in tank-oriented Glyphs would destroy them.) And, though apparently not new, several people in the comments noted that a Glyph can be removed by shift right-clicking — however, this still destroys the Glyph in the process. For more of your beta questions — and our beta answers — read on! But if you’re the sort who wants to avoid spoilers, turn back now. We’re aiming to avoid major story spoilers, but this feature is all about beta content and we can’t talk about the beta without giving a few things away.

  Shaman glyphs in Beta build 8905

  Shaman glyphs in Beta build 8905 Posted on 2008 under Uncategorized | No Comment 6 Sep Filed under: Shaman, Analysis / Opinion, Odds and ends, Wrath of the Lich King The inimitable Matthew Rossi, our burly Shaman and Warrior expert, had his hands full with the overwhelming number of Warrior glyphs that popped up in the new Wrath Beta build. Since the few Shaman glyphs this build got me a little excited — more than the yawn-inducing Paladin ones last week, anyway — I thought I’d cover this one while Matt does the heavy lifting with the Warrior changes. Glyph of Water Breathing Your Water Breathing spell no longer requires a reagent. An excellent glyph. I’m a huge fan of these no-reagent glyphs for obvious reasons. Although Shiny Fish Scales are abundant and cheap, they do take up bag space. What I like about these types of glyphs is that they’ll literally pay for themselves over time because there’s a direct cost. The best part of this? It now works exactly like the Warlock spell and can be used as an additional buff in PvP without worrying about running out of Shiny Fish Scales (e.g., it still consumes a reagent in Arenas).
