Kerber 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Hello, I did a quick Highmaul HC run yesterday and used this opportunity to test out Glyph of Imp Swarm. I found it quite useful for the opener as it allowed me to cast 3 Demonbolts instead of two. I used this opener: Prepot + Pre-cast Soul Fire Imp Swarm Summon Doomguard Corruption Hand of Gul'dan Shadowbolt Shadowbolt Shadowbolt Hand of Gul'dan Trinket + Dark Soul Doom Demonbolt Demonbolt Demonbolt This seems to be a nice opener. Take note that I only cast the third shadowbolt and doomguard if we pop Bloodlust at the beginning of the fight. The downside might be that I start casting my demonbolts later due to the extra GCD from Shadowbolt and Imp swarm. Can you see any other downsides in this opener? What are your experiences with Glyph of Imp Swarm. I am curious to hear your opinion. Edited February 7, 2015 by Kerber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Liquidsteel 279 Report post Posted February 7, 2015 I think that the Glyph is a bit of a waste atm. The changes going into WoD have made it a clear DPS loss in almost all scenarios. 3x Demonbolt in the opener doesn't really get you anything in the long run. My opener has 2 less GCD's than yours and it's already a tight squeeze to get the second DB out under initial 10s procs. Both openers are fine, but I'm not sold on the overall loss that Glyphing Imp Swarm incurs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Liquidsteel 279 Report post Posted February 8, 2015 It scales with stats, however it does so dynamically, so it's best to get it out early. It also generates demonic fury... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kerber 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) I am currently popping my doomguard whenever bloodlust is activated. In most cases this is at the start of the fight which is nice since you get all your procs together with bloodlust :) Edited February 8, 2015 by Kerber Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
