If you want to get to level 80 ASAP, you know how important a good talent build is. But there are many more options to tweak your character to level faster. This Shaman leveling guide will show you how to choose the optimal Glyphs for your Shaman to give your leveling speed a boost!
First of all, let’s take a look at when the Glyph slots are unlocked:
- Level 15: 1 Major, 1 Minor
- Level 30: 2 Major, 1 Minor
- Level 50: 2 Major, 2 Minor
- Level 70: 2 Major, 3 Minor
- Level 80: 3 Major, 3 Minor
As you can see, you can start tweaking your Shaman with Glyphs at level 15.
The Shaman Leveling Guide – The Best Glyphs For Enhancement Shamans
Flame Shock – Level 15 – Major Glyph
The periodic damage dealt by your Flame Shock can now be critical strikes.
Windfury Weapons – Level 30 – Major Glyph
Increases the chance per swing for Windfury Weapon to trigger by 2%.
Stormstrike – Level 40 – Major Glyph
Increases the nature damage bonus from your Stormstrike ability by an additional 8%.
Water Shield – Level 20 – Minor Glyph
Increases the number of charges on your Water Shield spell by 1.
Water Breathing – Level 22 – Minor Glyph
Your Water Breathing spell no longer requires a reagent.
Water Walking – Level 28 – Minor Glyph
Your Water Walking spell no longer requires a reagent.
Shaman Leveling Guide –The Best Order To Get Your Glyphs
Your first choice is an easy one: At level 15 get a Glyph: Flame Shock and add the minor Glyph Water Shield at level 20.
Now, Glyph: Windfury Weapons is the logical choice when hitting level 30.
But when you finally reach level 40 you have to make a tough decision: Now you will have 3 good major Glyphs available but only 2 slots to put them in…
My recommendation is that you go and crunch your numbers. Depending on your playing style, which Glyph gives you the greatest boost to DPS? It really comes down to how often you actually use one skill or another in every combat!
As for the second and third minor Glyph … It’s up to you in which order you get them, but Water Breathing has a slight edge over Water Walking. Underwater quests are rare, but there’s nothing more frustrating than getting immobilized by Naga just before reaching the surface.
As you can see, Glyphs are perfect to optimize your Shaman. And the Glyphs we recommended will have the maximum impact on your leveling power that Glyphs can deliver.
I hope you got some value out of this Shaman leveling guide – we really put in some effort.
