this glyph also would have use for destro locks who specced for fire and brimstone, as adding the extra 2 chances for the proc is nice, and the extra 4 sec u have b4 u need to reapply means u can get at least another cast in b4 reapplying it

and since most pvp is done as aff, there will b benefit there as well

Ghostcrawler: We fixed the Glyph of Curse of Agony too. Not sure if that made the notes or not. It now is an actual dps increase.

Random lock1: Awesome, what changed?

Random lock2: The old Glyph added two ticks onto the beginning of the spell that did not contribute to the ramping up of the damage, it didn't actually increase your DPS at all, just made you not have to cast it as often.

The new ticks should contribute to the extra damage now, I don't have any numbers for how much of a DPS increase this will be compared to the other glyphs, so it still might not be desirable, but it as least an increase now.

This glyph is a decent CoA DPS increase for boss fights.

Here's my math (feel free to ridicule me for any errors):

For the sake of simplicity I assumed perfect refreshing. Any early refreshing would work against the glyph, while any constant delay between consecutive CoAs would make the glyph more effective.

- For every 6 full curse durations with this glyph you would have 7 full durations without.
- Each glyphed CoA cycle does 1.3328 times the damage of a non-glyphed cycle.

Thus the net benefit of the glyph over 6 glyhped cycles is given by:

(1.3328)(6) - (1)(7)

= 0.9968

Divided by 6, that is a 16.613 (repeating, of course)% effective improvement over the non-glyphed CoA per cycle.

Model:

As stated earlier CoA works by having 3different(4 with glyph) kinds of ticks, weak ticks, medium ticks, strong ticks and glyphed ticks.

Some math:

Let A=Average tick and C be a constant unaffected by spellpower(Appears to be around 95-100), however some talents such as Imp. CoA does affect the value of C.

Testing supports that we can model CoA as: Weak tick=A-C, Medium tick=A, Strong tick=A+C, Glyph tick=A+2C.

The average DPS from a normal CoA is then: /24=A/2 e.g. average tick/2 as expected.

The average DPS from a glyphed CoA is: /28=A/2+C/7.

This shows that the absolute DPS increase is a constant: Glyphed DPS-Normal DPS=(A/2+C/7)-A/2=C/7.

Using C=98 we get that glyphing for CoA increases the CoA DPS by 14.

The other benefit from the glyph is getting one free GCD(1 or 1.5sec depending on talents) every 168seconds.

Summary

This glyph's effect is ~15 more DPS on CoA and one extra second every 168seconds. I.e the glyph does NOT scale with spellpower(Except that extra 168seconds GCD) and always increases your DPS by ~15 if you always have CoA up on one target.

As of 3.3.5 This is how Curse of Agony's ticks behave:

Without Glyph:

Weak Weak Weak / Normal Normal Normal / Strong Strong Strong

With Glyph

Weak Weak Weak / Normal Normal Normal / Strong Strong Strong / Stronger Stronger

Seems to be a toss-up for the number 3 Prime slot glyph for Affliction PVE,between this one and Glyph of Unstable Affliction.

While on paper this one should yeld higher DPS,consider the fact that on long,single target raid fights Bane of Doom is superior even to the glyphed Bane of Agony.

MoP: Turned into Glyph of Verdant Spheres.
Now all those Blood Elves can pretend to be Kael'thas :)
Personally, I've always wanted to have those Verdant Spheres because they look damn amazing. Now it seems it's come true ^^
