I just dinged 25 and logged to my Scribe in order to make all warrior glyphs he knows (all but 5 and those can only be learnt at higher levels, so no rush). Picking the prime glyph was easy: Shield Slam for 10% extra damage Picking a minor was slightly harder: - Battle Shout 2 -> 4min duraiton and 50% larger radius it's cooldown is 1min, so it can already be perma-applied it's radius in 5-mans so far wasn't a problem - Furious sundering: 10 instead of 15 rage, 15 rage hasn't been a problem yet - enduring victory: increasing the victory rush window by 5 sec I chose this so I can use it on a new pull even if it takes a little longer until the pull (though cheaper sundering sounds good, too) But picking a major glyph, boy, this hasn't been as hard for any other class, there are so many good ones. - Cleaving: hitting 3 instead of 2 targets would be nice for tanking - Sunder armour: hitting 2 instead of 1: same - long charge and rapid charge: both would be nice come level 29 and charging in combat and def stance - resonating power and thunder clap: nice for aoe tanking - victory rush: increased healing, great for soloing In the end, as I am currently mainly tanking and as thunderclap has worked well as it is, the decision came down to Cleaving or Sunder Armour. I might not be doing things right but I've only really used sunder up to 3 stacks (didn't this used to be 5 stacks?) on bosses and sunder mobs on which I lost aggro. Should I be sundering every mob on every pull? At the moment I use Shield Slam, Rend, Thunderclap and Cleave on trash groups. Based on this I figured that the glyph of Cleave was best to get. Still, rather too many good glyphs then too few :-) Any comments on my thoughts on Cleave vs Sunder are welcome.
