    Default Glyph of Fire Elemental

    Yes, I know it can't be used in Arenas but from a BG & WG perspective having multiple fire ele's up every two minutes could be very handy...

    Also could be situationally useful in PvE for a DPS increase...

    Thoughts?

    Spell CD --> 10m
    Glyph --> -5m
    Spell duration --> 2m

    40% uptime elementals, when bosses tend not to exceed 2m anyway? Yes please. Now to get some good DPS numbers versus the alternatives...

    Ahh so they nerfed the glyph down to 5 mins...wowhead and thott are still showing the old 10 minute reduction.

    Still, every 5 mins is still decent.

    Yeah, 10m - 10m would get patched in a jiff even if it had been left in. Still pretty interesting.

    I've switched from LB Glyph to Fire Elementals, will see how it goes.
    4x Shaman, with an elemental every 5 mins will be fun.

    I dunno, doesn't seem worth a lot for me, even for BGs only. They are a fun gimmick but I like to change totems frequently and often just overwrite them before their duration ends. The fact that they just run around like crazy thhings and not necessarily target who I want (unlike magma for melee) kind of bugs me.

    I think I'll have a pvp arena spec and a pvp BG/world pvp spec. 5 min. fire elementals are just too FUN to pass up!
    They're huge, completely out of control, and I love them!
