Hunter Glyphs

This is a nice intro to Glyphs: http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/10/14/a-brief-introduction-to-glyphs/

The is a list that can be filtered for the glyphs: http://www.wowhead.com/?items=16

Use the "

This looks like an interesting Glyph. It is called the Glyph of Possessed Strength.

Surley at level 70 I can have 2 major and 3 minor glyphs. At level 80 I can have 3 major and 3 minor.

What glyphs should I get for Surley?

These are the major ones that look interesting from a PVP arena stand point. I can choose two.
  • Aspect of the Beast - Increases the attack power of Aspect of the Beast for me and my pet by 2%. This would be really good if it was more than 2%.
  • Glyph of Bestial Wrath - Decreases cooldown by 20 seconds.
  • Glyph of Disengage - Decreases the cooldown by 5 seconds.
  • Glyph of Freezing Trap - when the trap breaks, the victim's movement speed is reduced by 30% for 4 seconds. That is a long time in the arena.
  • Glyph of Immolation Trap - This looks really nice. The time it takes to do the damage is reduced from 15 to 9 seconds and the amount of damage is increased from 1136 to 2272. This would be very useful outside of arena. I like to drop this trap and draw something towards me. This would do a lot of damage. What is the difference between my health and the health of a warrior? If I ran into this trap it would take away 20% of my health in 10 seconds.
I don't think the other major glyphs would help me that much in PVP.

These are four minor glyphs. I can use three.
  • Glyph of Possessed Strength - Increases the damage my pet inflicts while using Eyes of the Beast by 50%. This is major. I could change the way I play. I would drop two freeze traps in front of the character. The use the Eyes of the Beast and use the Dash to increase my speed by 80% for 16 seconds. With 30% add from Boar's Speed I should fly. 100 + 30 + 104 = 234. The two freeze traps would give me a 20 seconds to help finish off the second guy. If I could last for an one minute I would also be able to drop the Immolation Trap.
  • Glyph of Mend Pet - This might get rid of the need to have pet food and free up a slot.
  • Glyph of Revive Pet - I don't revive the pet much, so this may not as useful.
  • Glyph of Feign Death - I don't use this a great deal. This only changes the cooldown from 30 to 25 seconds.
