I don't see the need for most, if not all, minor glyphs. Why dont Blizzard just scap the three minor ones and give us an extra major one then change all glyph types to just glyphs.

Edit: Can I get this moved to the suggestions forum please?

But.. glyph of penguin.

I do kinda agree, but if i didn't have all these minor glyphs then i would have to carry around regeants for my reincarnation, water walking etc.

No moving 4 you!
and btw, i like my Minor glyphs, water walking, underwater breath, no mats is awsome, only 7.5 min cd on my HS is pure love.

u can scrap your minor glyps but i will keep my :O

No. Minor glyphs are there to provide a space for more fun glyphs that don't have any large effect on performance. If there were just 4 slots it wouldn't be possible to use any of them.

Some are useful like the paladin Lay on Hands but most do very little or are just fun. The mage polymorph one, for example, could be an ablility you buy from a scribe instead.; would also give scribes a new revenue stream as most glyphs sell very cheaply.

Reagents are really cheap anyway, and if you look you see I have my glyph for slow fall.

They have included minor glyphs to make you think about your decision before glyphing, instead of a straight upgrade like major glyphs most minors have a draw back which make you contemplate on whether or not it will benefit your class/spec.

Minors are different to Majors, its just the way it is :)

p.s.

Its not the cost of reagents that make those glyphs good its the fact that you don't need to remember to pick some up and also not have them taking up space.

Minor glyphs have minor changes, and that's the way it's supposed to be. They aren't there to make you stronger or more powerful, they're just there to make some things less annoying, like needing reagents or buffs having short durations and high costs.

Minor glyph - first iteration:- "These glyphs will do something cool that doesn't have any real effect on performance" - Glyph of Penguin, Glyph of Sprint are examples of these.

Second iteration:- "These glyphs will remove reagents from spells that really don't need them, but we want to make sure people have to glyph for it instead so there is an illusion of choice".

Third iteration:- "These glyphs suck, but there has to be something in this slot" / "These glyphs are actually very powerful but are used on very situational abilities".

To be honest, I wish they've stuck to the first one across the board, and just removed the bloody reagents from the spells they were going to glyph anyway.

It doesn't help that glyphs were supposed to involve CHOICE, but the way it currently stands for all the classes I've played, there are so few even vaguely useful minor glyphs that there's no choice at all. Shaman comes out reasonably well, most other classes...don't.
