Ok now for choosing 2 Major. This is actually difficult as it's totally based on playstyle. However I like the Chain Lightning and Healing Stream Totem, but I also want the Totem of Wrath glyph and Glyph of Water Mastery increases Water Shield passive regen by 30% (which isnt in list, but its on WoWhead). Another one is Lighting Bolt, -10% is pretty hot. So many choices!!

don't overlook

Glyph of Flametongue Weapon (Req. lvl. 15) - Increases spell critical strike chance by 2% while Flametongue Weapon is active.

Ya true, hmm like I said... so many choices!

Wait, isnt FT WEAPON different than FT Totem? I was looking at WoWhead and FT Totem gives group +Spellpower, while FT Weapon only gives that damage proc on melee hit... So that would make this glyph useless to elemental.

Glyph of Mana Tide Totem (Req. lvl. 40) - Your Mana Tide Totem grants an additional 1% of each target's maximum mana each time it pulses.fixed, almost had me tripping out at first glance..

[Schwarz]

Flametongue Weapon Rank 7
6% of base mana
Instant cast Requires Melee Weapon
Imbue the Shaman's weapon with fire, increasing total spell damage by 96. Each hit causes 40.3506 to 124.28 additional Fire damage, based on the speed of the weapon. Slower weapons cause more fire damage per swing. Lasts 30 minutes.

Here's my thoughts on the Glyphs

2 Major, 3 Minor

MAJOR
Glyph of Water Mastery (Req. lvl. 20) - Increases the passive mana regeneration of your Water Shield spell by 30%.
Glyph of Flametongue Weapon (Req. lvl. 15) - Increases spell critical strike chance by 2% while Flametongue Weapon is active.

MINOR
Glyph of Astral Recall (Req. lvl. 30) - Cooldown of your Astral Recall spell reduced by 2.5 min.
Glyph of Water Shield (Req. lvl. 20) - Increases the number of charges on your Water Shield spell by 1.

Aside from that, I don't really see anything in the Minor Glyphs I want. Maybe, MAYBE the regeantless Water Walking and Breathing. But I've cast those spells like 3 times.

You are right, Chain Lightning glyph is out, guess its FT Weapon glyph and Water Shield or Healing Stream Totem glyphs for me.

Don't disregard the Ghost Wolf glyph, 1% regen of health is pretty nice in pvp when running around.

Also, the lightning shield glyph is pretty sick for pvp. 20% more damage, plus if you take talented shields(+15%?) these alone would destory anyone trying to AOE you down.

This is very true MB, however I play a trinity group: Tank, DPS, and Heals. If the Shamans aren't getting hit, they don't need lightning Shield, and if the Paladin and Druid are there, there's no real need to Ghost Wolf. Eventually when I PVP more, and the Dual Spec option becomes available though, I will definitely be looking into the Ghost Wolf one. Meanwhile, servers please come up I need to power level inscriptions.

[Jheusse]

Hmm, how about the glyphs that would be appropriate for a set of leveling shammies (46 atm) that don't pvp? I run with a buddy's RAF linked same level pally.

Thinking the lightning bolt and the flametongue, based on simplicity and the guildies who are doing inscription having only certain glyphs available.

Spent too much time jumping off high places with my feral last night, still have to update 3 of the kids' wow folders.
