Make a Glyph

Was thinking about this recently. What kind of Glyph would you make for a class given the choice? Here was something I was musing over:

Warrior / Paladins - a glyph that allows you to appear holding a shield and weapon of your choice. The shield is picked from one in your bag / transmog. Allowing non-tank specs to appear to be sword and board.

Monk - further glyphs to expand on changing your Chi colours (red, yellow, blue, purple). An option to make your spirits to also wear your complete transmog and even change their colours. Perhaps an option to even let you always fight with your choice weapons?

Hunter - if they are not willing to give me dual wield, at least let me glyph it to appear that I am. For Marksman, I’d want more options to change my bird types. Something to make my pets bigger or smaller too, instead of relying on food items.

Warlock - A classic to be sure, replace demons with undead to play a necromancer. I want zombies, skeletons, abominations, ghouls and more.

Death Knight - more undead pets. Hell, they should be allowed the ability to tame undead creatures.

Wondering what you guys would create.

Mostly just cosmetic spell color changes like blue fire for wizards for those who want cold flames.
moonlight and unholy light for priests and paladins.

That sort of thing.

I’ve always wanted a glyph that would allow Worgen Druids to stay in their Worgen form while specced as Feral - attacking with their actual Worgen fangs and claws. Let me live out that peak werewolf fantasy, damn it.

Light effects for shadow priest since Blizzard seems to be against a holy caster dps

Oh yeah that would be cool. Like the talent in WoD.

Maybe even a glyph for NE druids to have Worgen form.

For mages, Glyph of Misty Step, changing Blink to use shimmering mist visuals.

For priests, moon-themed animations for roleplaying priests of Elune.

Glyph of Bonestorm would make the Lord Marrowgar BONE STORM sound file play for you and anyone nearby whenever you activate Bonestorm.

Glyph of Lichborne would make you change into a lich when you use Lichborne.

I don’t know if this would class as a glyph. But an one that would stop you turning into a Worgen in combat for those who’d desire it.

One that removed that idiotic cloud AND sparkle from priests levitate. I do not say it lightly, but whoever came up with that nonsense should never be allowed anywhere near design again.

It’s me, I’m the one who wants this for my mage. They wield cold flames IC.

Besides the obvious cosmetic spell colour glyphs, I’d like one that adds mundane flavour back to the game, like the glyph from WoD that split a warlock’s shadow bolt into 3. It did the exact same damage and offered no gameplay benefit besides the fact that it looked cool.

For mages people often want blue fire, which is very cool, but I’d actually love it if we could get glyphs that allow mages to change the element they use. Mages canonically can summon a Fire or Air Elemental just as well as they can a Water Elemental, for example. A dwarf mage who mostly casts earth based spells (which could work of a restyled Frost spec) or a Pandaren mage who casts wind based spells (I just think Windwalker tbf, base it of the Fire spec mechanisms) does sound really cool.

Glyph of the Chosen Disciples
Turns your warlock summons into humanoids from the factions. Your imp being a fire mage of sorts, your void walker being a sword and board tank and so on. Stick em all in warlock tier sets or similar.

Why are blue flames always considered “cold”?
Blue fire is in most cases a clear giveaway for full combustion and optimal fuel-oxygen ratio which indicates for higher temperatures. Of course chemical compounds like copper can also have an influence, but it also burns relatively clean. Its not cold, if anything these flames are alot hotter.

Enough ranting.
Blue fire is still great tho. Would love it for mages or for any class having a bit of fire in their toolset.

As for glyphs:

Demon Hunter - Glyphs that change the metamorphosis into different forms, not just “Wingless Illidan but spikes” and “Illidan 2.0”. How cool would it be if there are glyphs that make your character take a twisted form of other demons, like Shivarra, Wrathguards, Mo’arg etc.

Huntard - Glyphs that change visuals of the spells depending on the ranged weaponry you use. Its really annoying to use Volley that throws out arrows when you wield a triple-barreled shotgun. Obviously also a glyph that makes your melee look like you wield two one-handed weapons (or just a glyph that enables you using two one-handed weapons).

Warlock - Glpyhs for necromancy of course are cool. Could also go full void for demonology, not the sad Shadowpriest-excuse of “Oh, cool, I got 2 void tendrils prog for once!”. Void-twisted demons would be cool.

Druid - Shirvalla’s Claws. Nothing else has to be said about it.

Shaman - More Earth and especially Water for combat.

Because blue is opposite of red.

Nothing more complex than that.

Because in WoW, blue flames are always used in death and cold related contexts, with specific lore stating they give off no heat.

A glyph to modify Monk combat stance between the three would be cool. I like Brewmasters idle compared to Windwalker.

I like Thunder Clap and Stormbolt but it would be cool for Warriors to have options to throw a big rock instead of a lightning bolt, or have their thunder clap crater be persistent for a little longer.

Also the Chi-Ji stance some NPCs use
