Glyph Notes
Adds a snare effect to Judgement. Very helpful for uptime since Ret has limited mobility. Default third glyph when playing with partners lacking slows.
Gives passive damage reduction tied into our rotation. Essential survivability. HARD LOCK - Always use this glyph regardless of matchup.
Gives bonus damage whenever we heal with Word of Glory. Great synergy with our hybrid playstyle. Soft-lock. Swap for Divine Protection vs melee/hunters.
Allows Divine Protection to reduce physical damage instead of just magic. Use against melee or Hunters. Flex glyph. Swap in vs physical damage teams.
Adds an automatic heal into our Bubble that scales with every debuff it removes. Great for survivability. Alternative glyph. Use when you need extra healing from Bubble.
Allows us to buff teammates with Blessing of Might while giving ourselves Blessing of Kings. Useful if playing with a spec that stacks Mastery. The only minor glyph that CAN make a difference.
