@@jjstraka1982 once they started fleshing out specs Demo started to feel really out of place anyway. I'd rather Metamorphosis be a whole class they can balance then the nightmare of having them share a tree with affliction
@@Dofladingus the change to the new one was jarring, but yeah, Demo was never really much of a playstyle. You got a Fel-Guard and a cool down, but it didn't fundamentally change how you played the class.
Your output of videos are rapid lately. I think it's time I mention here that I listened to the "sleep to" videos 2 times I had to travel between Hungary and The Netherlands. Driving while listening to your essay of wow facts was what kept me awake during each 18 hours of drive. Thank you!
Glyph of Envenom lasted 2 days in original WOTLK before being hotfixed out. Your Envenom ability no longer consumes Deadly Poison from your target. Too strong I suppose.
I feel like Glyph of Death and Decay deserves at least an honorable mention. Being able to force enemies to cower in fear, you pull huge packs, drop d&d and auto CC enemies in your aoe randomly. Was in the game for a year before they changed it to slowing enemies then made a resurgence as a a runecarver ability in shadowlands. While not game changing, I'm also partial to glyph of rune tap that healed you for more and healed your party for 10% hp. That was back when rune tap healed instead of just reducing damage like it does now. Between that and my death strike bubble back when that was good, I almost never needed healers in dungeons, I'd keep all agro and heal my teammates. Was fun being #2 on the heal recount as a DK.
@@waduhek8931I think he means glyph of unleashed lightning and not glyph of lightning bolt. Glyph of lightning bolt was just 4% damage increase. Unleashed lightning made your lightning take 5 percent longer to cast but you could move while you casted it
Glyph of victory roll also restores chi torpedo stacks, so you could stack mobs up and mash it, basically getting endless stacks when 1-2 mobs low hp This was a really popular strat in WoD CMs, as the chi torpedo did huge aoe healing, plus scaling with resolve on the monk!
Wait... Where's the Glyph Of Disengage??? One of the best(if not the best) Hunter Glyphs ever created!!! We were the Kings and Queens of sitting above the AH door back then! That Glyph is no.1 or this list worth nuffin!
In MoP and WoD, warriors had Glyph of Rude Interruption: Successfully interrupting a spell with Pummel increases your damage by 6% for 20 sec. That was incredibly good.
The thing that made Dragon's Breath so crazy was that mages would pair it with Prismatic Crystal, which took 20% more damage from mage abilities and spread it evenly among all nearby enemies. DB and Blast Wave (which also had a damage increase glyph at the the time), would essentially hit a single target twice dealing upwards to 40% of their total health in just two spells. However, Combustion would reset the cooldown of those abilities, and you could BW, DB, BW, DB as a burst rotation. It was a bit of a gimmicky PvP build of course, but it was satisfying to get one single target locked in a pseudo stun with the knockback and incapacitate effects from the spells and finish them off with the remainder of combustion.
I imagine the de-curse rune was broken in PvP tbh, and that's why it's not coming back. You can just de-curse yourself and make yourself immune to some of Warlocks' most post powerful abilities at the time. It's not so much about the short duration. It's that you can cast it, weave and a couple spells, and then cast it again.
donno if glyph of demon hunting was ever used to tank raids or not, but it sure was great for pvp. you basically became an unkillable with the damage reduction and self heals. I remember 1v5 people in WSG, holding the tunnel just by myself heh
Just a few days before DF season 3 starts seeing that performance in Atal'Dazar filled me with an extreme amounts of anxiety of what is to come with pugs.
Imo the Gag order glyph was probably the worst out of the bunch. At least for the first MoP season. Arms was INSANE broken. And if you played with a mage + healer ? (Which everyone did), you were never casting.
Keep in mind, these glyphs were cheap as fuck too. Maybe not all the time, probably not when they were released, but a majority of these glyphs I played with back in the day despite being a broke nooby 13 year old in Cata and going into MoP etc.
I personally loved that ice block glyph, not for PvP but because it was awesome for AoE farming. Previously pulling casters with the melee in an AoE pull could be very dangerous because if your shield failed it could cause a hasty abort of the entire pull at best, certain death at worst. That immunity made it so easy. I bet that was probably the thinking behind it but it ended up being too powerful in other areas. Which was a funny thing in Wrath the first time with my Draenei Mage: Emergency Gift of the Naaru + Lifeblood + Iceblock. That combination saved me a number of times.
@@waduhek8931 ahh I just checked, it was a Warlock talent called "Kil'jaeden's Cunning" and not a glyph. I do remember that Paladin Glyph, that was so OP and I miss it so much. Good times lol.
Hiru totally missed the mark with this one. Soul Swap used to remove the dots from one target to put them on another, like a cut and paste. In the glyphs first iteration, it changed it from cut/paste to copy/paste, and it was so useful it became baseline. I'm not sure if you noticed, but in the beginning of DF, Soul Swap just applied UA, corruption, and Agony because of how useful the OG glyph was.
Wow you are terribly wrong about glyph of no escape bro aimed shot and power shot used to delete people it was crazy op for mm hunters in the open world pvp and bgs you are very wrong about leer of the ox aswell as aoe taunt still exists in the game and also you can target statue to aoe taunt as monk this was very valuable in sarkareth progress as it basically meant mass grip since monk taunt makes enemies run much faster (and given the fact raid mobs already run fast...) leer of the ox in theory could be decent in m+ but in reality every class in legion had aoe slow INCLUDING monk and you didnt have to be in melee either as you had a really high range keg smash and a meteoric keg all tank classes had aoe slows in legion but slowing was never an issue in legion m+ if anything you would want them running faster especially in skittish and sanguine weeks
But Hiru..... I wanted a 5 1/2 hour "History of Every Single Glyph" video. Way to disappoint. All your recent 2/3/4 hour compilation videos will just have to hold me over until we get a compilation video for the Glyphs. In all seriousness, this was another great video. Cant wait for your next upload.
Honestly I’m kinda in agreement, glyphs should have always been a thing for flavor, stuff like changing the animation or giving you a cute little ability that wasn’t meant for combat purposes like returning treant form for druids (it still pissed me off when they removed that as the legit shapeshift for resto!)

This is a good idea.
Freeing Gorefiend during Burning Crusade!
killing garrosh
Removing Demon Form to warlocks was the biggest betrayal of all wow history
Yeah
Man, I loved it when I was a kid but new demo is so much more fun
It was literally a shadow of Illidan's model. It made perfect sense it went away when DH arrived.

There is more than one 70% slow in dragonflight. Chains of ice, the death knight ability, is a 70% slow for 8 seconds.

Rapid videos because about a month and a half before christmas is when he gets the best ad revenue.
Hiru you missed glyph of ember tap that made locks almost unkillable
Season of Discovery is reintroducing warlock tanks. Maybe we'll see a similar iteration on the last glyph back in some form.
Glyph of Envenom lasted 2 days in original WOTLK before being hotfixed out. Your Envenom ability no longer consumes Deadly Poison from your target. Too strong I suppose.
Huh? That's a talent from the old talent tree.
@@AngeloFZit was a talent for ass rogues, yes. But it was also a glyph, since envenom was baseline I reckon
"20 strong glyphs"
1st glyph "it wasnt good" ok bro

i’m surprised shaman’s lightning bolt glyph is not on the list
Was expecting it to be #1
What did it do? Im also surprised he didnt talk about glyph of holy light

I like broken and op things. Adds flavor. What’s the point if everyone is the same. Weakens class fantasy
Glyphs need to be purely cosmetic and there needs to be 100 more of them…NEED!
In MoP and WoD, warriors had Glyph of Rude Interruption:
Successfully interrupting a spell with Pummel increases your damage by 6% for 20 sec.
That was incredibly good.
They need to bring back dark aptheosis
Hobestly it was super fun to run around as a tank warlock with the glyph of drain life as well it was so much sustain
No glyphs will return to WoW since they are all aestethic now.
These glyphs is what make inscription a good profession.

Genuinely surprised I didn't see Glyph of Fists of Fury, which gave Monks a 100% parry chance while channeling their main DPS ability.
Hirumaredx , i have to ask consideting im also a major yugioh fan. Youre the voice behind the Duel Logs channel to arent you?
I will forever HATE demon hunters for taking away metamorphosis from warlocks, thanks for the reminder.
Shocked that Glyph of Death and Decay from WotLK didn’t make the list.
10:00 Chains of Ice, Piercing Howl? I'm sure there are more i'm forgetting.
10:02 Chains of Ice is still a 70% slow as well
i was just about to post that until i saw this lol
and Piercing howl for Warriors
Season of Discovery tank warlock:"Am i a joke to you?"
Yes. Yes it is.
You make such quality videos. Thank you for your truly hard work and determination. Just wanted to give you some credit.
Bear Tarter ... you don't want to know how they make it
I think the Immortal pet thingy was kinda low, it was a free immortal tank, pretty handy to skip mechanics

I'm surprised I didn't see Glytph of Shadowbolt, which split the shadowbolt into three different bolts that all could crit separately.
This is interesting, but your oice is too calm, i fell asleep til my head actively rolled over, snapping me back to attention from #6 to #3.
Small correction, Savage Roar in MoP did not have a cooldown
if you increase something by 150% and then by 100% it'll be a 300% increase.... not 250% btw
Back when WoW actually had passionate creative devs
Glyph of soul swap was in introduced in cata.. im confused did they make an even more busted one in wod?
Dark Apotheosis wasnt strong. It sounded strong, but how it worked was pretty bad.
What about the DND glyph that made anyone damage by it have a chance to be feared in place?
No mention of Death and decay? Bruh it literally aoe feared everyone 😂
Glyph of Soul Swap was in Cataclysm first not WoD.
You forgot about the original Glyph of Death and Decay
How is the aoe fear death and decay glyph not on the list?
says 20 but it feels like 50, probably is.

Man I miss glyphs.
Glyph of unleased lightning was broken. Can't believe it didn't make the list.
Video idea: Top 10 Currencies in WoW
Ooh, good timing. Just watched the Minor Glyph one :D
Glyphs were cool, buuut I do get why they got rid of the combat ones.
Im surprised Glyph of Kil'Jaeden was not on this list. That was such an amazing and useful glyph even with the slow component.
Same with glyph of holy light
@@waduhek8931 ahh I just checked, it was a Warlock talent called "Kil'jaeden's Cunning" and not a glyph.
I do remember that Paladin Glyph, that was so OP and I miss it so much. Good times lol.
Glyph of Efflorescence dropping back in 5.4 made that raid tier insane. Really miss those days
No glyph of lightning bolt? Casting while moving was so OP
not a single pally glyph
When SoD is later on will you cover the runes too?
remember when inscription mattered?
Pepperidge Farms does
10:14 heh
Used?
6:30 Aimed Shot has entered the chat.
I can’t believe one of my favourite yugioh content creators also does wow videos
Glpyh.

Title says strong glyphes, then continues to list most trash glyphes ever 😂
I"m glad glyphs are gone. It always felt like Blizzard created incomplete/ weak abilities just so they can sell the solution in form of glyphs.
Honestly I’m kinda in agreement, glyphs should have always been a thing for flavor, stuff like changing the animation or giving you a cute little ability that wasn’t meant for combat purposes like returning treant form for druids (it still pissed me off when they removed that as the legit shapeshift for resto!)
Mannn it was lucrative as a scribe tho, after the glyphs were gone you couldn’t make as much money especially since MoP
No. Glyphs added another layer of customization. They removed all complexity
@@Demosthenes84this is the correct opinion
And by removing them they killed a profession
first
Hi Hiru, I was here 21 seconds since you load this!
you know he dont care right
ray of frost is a 70% slow also...
I have an insane PvP build prepared for MoP classic involving glyph of endless wrath and i'm not going to tell anyone what it involves 🤫🧏
