Aura of the Bloodmage / Glyph Weilder

[techspec6]

Today, one of our members got the Glyph Weilder so we were testing it in the GH. It has a component that increases spell haste by 15% and 8% spell damage. The 15% spell haste doesn't seem to work at all. With no buffs, I get no change in any spells with short or long cast times. Also, Glyph Weilder's 8% damage doesn't stack with Bloodmage's 8%. Since the melee AC aura equivalents stack, I didn't know if this was intentional.

As it stands, since we have Aura of the Bloodmage, we're getting no benefit from Aura of the Glyph Weilder. If it's not intentional and a dev has a moment to look into it, we'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

About the spell haste ,there is a hard cap you can't break. I'm 99% sure it's +50% spell haste , no matter how many spell and spell haste mods you have.

Concerning the +8% dmg , they are on the same slot so they don't stack. iirc only the manapool buff stacks on these 2 auras

If that's the case, then Aura of the Glyph Weilder isn't worth getting. It's more on par with solo auras. That's too bad, it took a bit of work to obtain. It'd be more beneficial to get a second of one of the others for the raids second group. Thanks for the info.

I wouldn't say that. With that aura, and a decent spell haste focus item, you would no longer need to rely on the cleric spell haste buff to hit max spell haste potential.

At the very least, Aura of the Glyph Weilder is spell haste that persists through dispelling bosses. I wouldn't call it worthless, but it's definitely too bad about the stacking issues and haste cap.

[techspec6]

Not worth getting and worthless are not quite the same. It's value is far less than the other T7 auras though. It's more in line with solo auras.

In my OP, I stated that the buff didn't give the 15% spell haste. Let me elaborate.

Naked and buffless, my 5.5s cast time spell is 4.9s. I do not know how. With the aura on, my cast time on the same spell is 4.9s. It could be my UI, but titanium shows the same results. It's hard to tell if the 15% spell haste is having any effect. Naked, I wouldn't be hitting any spell haste cap and would think that I'd see a difference between aura on and aura off. Timing the spell cast with a stopwatch shows no change when buffless except the aura.

spell haste caps relatively low, and I believe one good focus will give you all the spell haste you're going to get, which is the issue. This applies to the other spell haste aura's as well.
