Greetings folks,in this tutorial you will learn which glyphs are the best and also when you're supposed to choose each of them
Chapter I
Holy Priest
General Overview
Glyph of Renew
Glyph of Renew is the glyph that you will be using 100% of the time while playing Holy.Renew is one of your main spells that you must keep up all the time,so 33% heal increase is huge boost.3 seconds less doesn't really affect you at all since you refresh it with your direct healing spells.
Glyph of Prayer of Mending
Glyph of Prayer of Mending is the second best glyph you will mostly need to use.Your 2/5 set bonus forces you to use PoM to boost the healing of your Flash Heal/Greater or Holy Word:Serenity which makes you way more effective in fights.60% heal boost on PoM is huge and you'll most likely choose this + Renew unless you're forced to go with Mass Dispel + Shadow word:Death when you face
Rogue
/
Mage
teams for example.
Glyph of Shadow word:Death
Only use it when you're fighting classes that got breakable by damage Crowd Control such as Polymorph,Paralysis,Blind,Scatter Shot,Paladin AoE Blind.
Glyph of Mass Dispel
Usable only against
Paladin
&
Mage
Glyph of Fear Ward
Really good against
Warlocks
and
Priests
.You get like -1 minute off cooldown before gates open then you got like 1 more minute to finish the cooldown which is pretty overpowered.
Glyph of Scourge Imprisonment
Pretty decent against
DK
setups that you need to counter.
Glyph of Fade
Decent when using
Phantasm
.Combined together it does help you a bit when you're getting tunneled(
Hunter
/
Rogue
,
DK
/
Warrior
(Mostly)
Glyph of Inner Fire
I personally used this glyph like few times only against
Hunter
/
Rogue
teams that had amazing
dmg
and had trouble surviving the first game,so you don't really play with this glyph a lot unless you personally feel like you need it.
When to use each glyph and how to combine them best
Glyph of Renew + Glyph of Prayer of Mending + Shadow word Death
Use this combination against
DK
/
Monk
,
Warrior
/
Monk
,
Ele Shaman
/
Monk
,
Warrior
/
Ele Shaman
/
Monk
,pretty much every comp that has monk in it since you won't need to replace Glyph of PoM and Renew,so you go with Shadow word:death to break Paralysis when the
monk
wants to CC you or you go for Chastice > Fear,he will always try to counter you by using Paralysis.Other situation is when you land a successful fear on the
monk
.Most of the times the monk uses Nimble Brew or Trinket then instantly Paralysis you,so you land a Fear in the next global you expect Paralysis.
Druid
/
Hunter
,
Rogue
/
Hunter
,
Hunter
/
Priest
are also in this list since you need to break Scatter shots/Serpent Stings/Lullabys with Shadow word:death and you pretty much need the first two.
Glyph of Renew + Glyph of Prayer of Mending + Glyph of Mass Dispel
Pretty much every setup with
Paladin
(
Warrior
/
Paladin
,
DK
/
Paladin
,
Ele Shaman
/
Paladin
)
Glyph of Renew + Glyph of Shadow word:Death + Glyph of Mass Dispel
Choose both Sw:D + Mass Dispel against
Rogue
/
Mage
teams.You need SW:D to break Polymorphs/Blind/Gouge and Mass Dispel for Ice Blocks is also a must.Same goes for
Paladin
/
Mage
teams,SW:D for Sheeps/
Paladin
blind,Mass Disel for Bubble/Ice Block.
Glyph of Renew + Glyph of Prayer of Mending + Glyph of Fear Ward
This combination gives you advantage against
Warlock
/
Boomkin
,
Warlock
/
Priest
,
Warrior
/
Resto druid
is a setup with double fears.If they don't waste one on Fear ward and then immediately go for 2nd one which will not be immune,you will have huge advantage against that team.Helps against
Warrior
/
Resto shaman
as well,but there things are a bit complicated since they got purge as well as
Warrior
/
Priest
,but there things are a bit different.
DK
/
Priest
is also a great example of using this combination.
Glyph of Renew + Glyph of Prayer of Mending + Glyph of Fade/Glyph of Inner Fire
Go for this against setups that tunnel you a lot and you can't deal with topping yourself (
Hunter
/
Rogue
,
DK
/
Warrior
,perhaps
Rogue
/
DK
teams except with
Holy Paladin
)
Glyph of Renew + Glyph of Prayer of Mending + Glyph of Scourge Imprisonment
Way too obvious that you choose this one against
DK
teams only by your own preference too.
This is it,i listed all the glyphs and reasons why and when to use them.It feels like the rest of them are pretty useless in PvP,so i skipped mentioning them here.
As always,if you got any questions regarding this post,ask in the comments.
Best of luck,
