Arcane Glyph decisions...Follow

#1 May 08 2009 at 4:07 AM Rating: Decent
So I finally stepped up, ran Naxx25 start to finish with a PuG, got tons of upgrades. Then I did Naxx10 start to finish with a PuG, more upgrades. Did VoA25 and 10, then OS10.
Now I have two questions:

1: What are the current cookie-cutter Arcane Glyphs? I am using Glyph of Arcane Blast(3% increased damage on buff) Glyph of Arcane Missiles(25% crit damage bonus) and Mana Gem(40% more, which with my Frostfire makes my gems give 6100MP and 225SP for 15sec).
Saw another Mage using Mirror Image glyph(gives you 4th clone) and made me wonder. Is it worth giving up a glyph for it? Would the damage really add up enough? I never checked the Image damage so I don't know.

Which leads to my next question:

What determines your Mirror Image damage?

Molten armor is the 3rd glyph to go into. Unless you are having very significant mana problems... which you shouldn't as you should just alter your rotation to fit your mana needs.

Mirror image glyph is terrible. They do hardly any damage at all and adding 1 more isn't going to help. MI is only good to prevent you from pulling aggro for 30 seconds.

Thanks, and I use Mage Armor currently for 100MP5 while casting. I have no idea how someone could keep mana up for 5min fights without it o.O even with Gems/Evocation/Mana Pots. Especially KT who blows your mana to dust.

I rarely is ever have to use mage armor. I use glyph of molten armor, arcane missles and arcane burst. If you run out of mana fast change your rotation a bit it goes AB AB AB (if missle is up use it) or ABarr. If you are running out of mana to fast then go AB AB (missle if its up) or Abarr. I have only once changed glyphs during a fight and that was once on a slower KT fight and Thad fight.

And really you don't even need to Abarr you can stick to just Arcane blast and Arcane missiles unless you are on the move. So AB AB AB AM or AB AB AM.
