Best Restoration Druid PvP Glyphs

The glyph system has changed quite a bit in Mists of Pandaria as opposed to its Cataclysm counterpart. The most noticeable change being the removal of Prime Glyphs, meaning players will be limited to 3 Major and 3 Minor Glyph slots.

Tome of the Clear Mind will be needed to swap out any glyph from its respective glyph slot. You’ll definitely want to hold on to some of those, since some glyphs may be swapped depending on a certain arena matchup.

Major Glyphs

These three major glyphs provided below are your primary glyphs within your major glyph slots. Your only hard locked glyph located here is Glyph of Cyclone, with the rest being soft-locked and flexible according to your discretion.

Glyph of Cyclone increases the range of Cyclone, which is useful in almost every scenario.

Glyph of Efflorescence is our first ‘soft-locked’ glyph, typically paired with the Minor Glyph of Sprouting Mushroom, mainly to buff our Efflorescence healing. This becomes quite impactful to our overall healing if Wild Mushroom is micro-managed properly.

Glyph of Fae Silence is our first flexible pick. This glyph is selected if you aren’t a kill target and are facing enemy casters, as this will provide you with a blanket Silence you can throw on enemy players while in Bear Form.

Glyph of Barkskin is our second flexible pick, and is recommended if you are going to be the kill target. This provides your character with some solid defensive bulk upon using Barkskin.

Additionally we have some situationally niche glyphs you may find useful in certain circumstances. These aren’t typically chosen as opposed to the ones already listed above, but can be super valuable if given the opportunity.

Glyph of Nature’s Grasp can be a solid choice against Windwalker Monks in 2v2, as it can CC their images.

Glyph of Blooming finds itself valuable against teams that can purge a lot.

Glyph of Might of Ursoc paired with Glyph of Barkskin if you find yourself needing even more defensive bulk.

Glyph of Wild Growth, primarily for BGs or Rated BGs to significantly improve your healing in teamfights.

Minor Glyphs

Out of all the Minor Glyphs available for Restoration Druid, Glyph of Sprouting Mushroom is your only hard-locked option. However, there are 2 additional minor glyphs provided below that can be used in your minor glyph slots to minmax. These glyphs don’t change.

Glyph of Sprouting Mushroom provides us with more control over Wild Mushroom, allowing players to min-max Efflorescence healing if Glyph of Efflorescence is picked.

Glyph of Aquatic Form for increased swim speed while in Aquatic Form, mainly to min-max your movement in BGs.

Glyph of Grace for reduced falling damage without having to shift in Cat Form. This is best in BGs that have high Z-axis elevation.
