i have been on ah and borth 6000herbs a good mix of em all, i hope that will get me to 375 inscription on all my 4 shamans, so that i will have 4 slots for large glyph´s

i will only spec one shaman for ToW i think and that one will have a ToW glyph the other 3 will use the same slot for healing steam totem, the one casting tow will then alsow be the one casting mana spring.

Fire Nova Totem, Lighnting Shield and Chain ligtning for the 3 other slots ?

Tell me how you will use em

Minor
Glypth of Water Walking - Your Water Walking spell no longer requires a reagent.
Glyph of Water Breathing - Your Water Breathing spell no longer requires a reagent.
Glyph of Water Shield - The number of charges on your Water Shield increases by 1.

Major
Glyph of Chain Lightning - Your Chain Lightning strikes 1 additional target.
Glyph of Lightning Bolt - Reduces the cost of your Lightning Bolt ability by -10%.
Glyph of Chain Lightning - Your Chain Lightning strikes 1 additional target.
1x Glyph of Totem of Wrath - Your Totem of Wrath also grants 1% spell haste.

This is what I had in mind for my 4 shammy group. I use the chain heals for world pvp and BGs. I also like to re-spec one of them for raid healing or main healing for 5 man heroic and the chain heal glyph is the only one that looks like it's really necessary for resto. I will level one Inscriber for the improved totem of wrath but I don't think it's worth leveling the others to get the extra 2 yards on Fire Nova Totem.

Just a couple of points.

1st off, that's an old list. A lot of glyphs have changes.
2nd, you don't get your 3rd glyph slot till you ding 80, and i can't remember when the 4th glyph slot opens up. I'll have to check.
3rd, it took roughly 1500 herbs for me to get 375. By far the suckiest range is the blindweed pigment range - though that's been updated since I leveled.

and lastly,

I'm taking Glyph of LB & Glyph of Lightning Shield to start. CL is nice on paper, but not very useful, as i rarely hit 3 targets even in bg. Maybe I'll take it at 80, but not so convinced yet, esp with Fire Nova going back to where it was. Since it now costs no mana to refresh water or lightning shield, it's going to def get added in my rotation.

INSCRIPTORS DO NOT GET AN EXTRA GLYPH SLOT.

You do NOT NEED to be an inscriptor to equip glyphs, EVERYONE can equip Glyphs.

So far the ONLY benefit inscriptors get (above people without the profession) is a shoulder enchant slightly (very slightly) better than the faction-based shoulder enchant, and a few off-hands you can craft and equip (NONE OF THEM SHIELDS).

Picking up 5x inscription would have definitely been worth it if they were going to give everyone an extra major glyph like they said originally, but I guess they figured everyone in arenas would consider it a "required" profession, and so dropped that bonus.

Right now you are better off picking up 5x Blacksmithing (2 extra self-sockets) or Leatherworking (bracer linings), and only having 1 character be an inscriptor.

i hope thats a joke those 6000 herbs did cost me quiet some gold

As of right now 1 of those extra self sockets is a meta for the chest which is very nice

wow @ bonus meta socket, I wasnt aware of that 8|

Ok, if we want to be serious about what is in game at the moment and what's not. Blizzard has mentioned that they "may" add that as a sub-bonus, but it does not exist yet. So don't count on it to go in, because this goes with the same mention of Inscriptionists turning one of their minor glyphs into a major glyph at 450. Right now they have the extra socket bonus so bracers/hands and the titanium buckle to the belts - so 3 sockets.
