I hope the mend pet is minor. I haven't really found any decent minor glyphs to use.

No Monkey?? Wow... the only chance I had against pallies has been taken out. Also helped a dumpload while kiting in naxx. I guess they are making up for it in other things i spose.

likely because naxx is a joke? No one I know actually reglyphs for it anymore.

What it actually says is:-


I read that as the Monkey Glyph will appear as the Mend one after the patch.

I didn't have the Monkey one but the Mend sounds like a useful addition for soloing. I'll make myself a Monkey one and see what happens when the patch hits.

Back in the day when kiting Drakki was all the rage (when UBRS took 10 people) it would have been nice to get a Cheetah speed boost without having the dazed effect. But from what I hear about Northrend instances there isn't much of that sort of thing needed any more.

I use it for both mainly because I dont bother re-glyphing for naxx. And it does help with gluth... alot i find... Im sure u may have had an experience with monkey on gluth and would have noticed how much easier it is. I gained an extremely good rep on my realm for my kiting of gluth in a 10 man which i attribute to monkey glyph. I solod it with the healer only healing me 3 times in total. at the end i had about 10ish stacks on me. I becomes extremely nice when solo kiting in 10 naxx when you can put down a frost trap and run fast enough around the trap effect without being hit by the zombies. Whack on monkey and as soon as the run speed is ready again just allow one swing and your off again. Thats how i use it against gluth and it works very nicely. in 25 naxx it doesnt really matter since our guild usually has one kiter for each grid so there is always enough to keep gluth unhealed.

I never have mana issues so there is no real need to replace it with any other glyph. SS glyph would be nice for when i change to MM but as i said before - im not the re-glyphing type so i guess i will continue to exploit monkey until blizz takes her away...

I for one am looking forward to the changes - Ill be going straight back to MM for raiding and change back to surv for pvp. With the changes to the tree MM have effectively gained i think 4 additional talent points to spend elsewhere + + + everything else.
