Guardian Glyph of Fae Silence

Sooo i'm wondering what you guys' opinion on  Glyph of Fae Silence is. Is it a good one to use all the time, or would the unglyphed one with no cd be better?

Faerie Fire is not part of your rotation anymore with the removal of Weakened Armor, so if you need another interrupt more often than you need a peel/pick-up ability, you certainly can use it. I used to use Glyph of Cat Form, but they took that away from Guardians, so I use Glyph of Rebirth, Stampeding Roar, and Dash.

I am pretty sure Glyph of Fae Silence has little use, as it only silences the target, but doesn't interrupt it. Most enemies in raids are immune to silence effects (but not interrupts), so it should only be useful in very few situations (maybe adds on Tectus?).

 

I wouldn't waste a glyph spot on it. Glyph of Maul and Glyph of Rebirth are both so powerful, and the last slot can be filled with Glyph of Dash or Glyph of Survival Instincts depending on the encounter.

Okay! thanks for the help ^^ i'll remove it then if enemies are immune to silence.

Why not Glyph of Maul? Unless it is PURELY a single target fight, idk why you wouldn't use it. Gruul would be a good example of that. The other glyphs don't seem useful enough to replace Glyph of Maul, even if it is single target.

I don't really use Maul that often unless I'm solo, and if I'm running solo, it really doesn't matter because the content isn't hard enough. It is a great glyph for DPS.

If you're not using Maul then you're doing it wrong I'm afraid. With T&C up it's high priority.

 

My issue with the Silence glyph is that it puts the whole ability on cooldown. IIRC the Warrior equivalent (their throw) has a silence with the same cooldown but they're still able to use throw in between, it just doesn't silence any more. If the Glyph did that then it would be useful. However, only being able to use FF that rarely is often annoying and sometimes a real hindrance. It may not do much damage but personally I find a lot of use for a spammable, instant, range ability. 

 

I use Maul and Stampede glyphs permanently and switch between SI and FF extra range depending on the fight. (In BRF there's a LOT of fights that use the SI glyph so that's almost permanent now).

Of course I use it, but it's last in my priority of Rage spenders. If I'm using Maul, it's because I'm not taking damage, and if I'm not taking damage, then I just feel like a Mage could be face-tanking this thing and it would be better.

Hmm, well on H+F (chosen because I tank throughout the fight rather than in bursts with swaps) recently I used Maul 53 times (Mangle was used 64 times for comparison). T&C procs accounted for 1.9m healing, 24% of my total healing. This is significant. If you're talking about when you don't have a T&C proc then, sure, it's a simple Rage dump. But T&C procs a lot and using them should be a priority.
