Best Unholy Death Knight PvP Glyphs
The glyph system has changed quite a bit in Mists of Pandaria as opposed to its Cataclysm counterpart. The most noticeable change being the removal of Prime Glyphs, meaning players will be limited to 3 Major and 3 Minor Glyph slots.
Tome of the Clear Mind will be needed to swap out any glyph from its respective glyph slot. You’ll definitely want to hold on to some of those, since some glyphs may be swapped depending on a certain arena matchup.
Major Glyphs
These three major glyphs provided below are your primary glyphs within your major glyph slots. Some glyphs offer variability depending on the composition you plan to play as.
Glyph of Icy Touch gives you a magic dispel every time you use Icy Touch. This is good in almost every single matchup.
Glyph of Anti Magic Shell makes Anti-Magic Shell absorb all magic damage.
Glyph of Dark Simulacrum allows us to snipe Crowd Control like Polymorph, Hex, and Fear more often, as well as major defensives such as Ice Block.
Additionally we have some situationally niche glyphs you may find useful in certain circumstances. These aren’t typically chosen as opposed to the ones already listed above, but can be super valuable if given the opportunity.
Glyph of Shifting Presences is best if you aren’t facing any casters. We recommend opting out of Glyph of Anti Magic Shell for this glyph in that circumstance.
Glyph of Strangulate is a great offensive option for training down healers, especially in 2v2.
Glyph of Unholy Frenzy is good specifically against double DPS teams in 2v2 to have slightly more bulk if needed.
Minor Glyphs
Even though minor glyphs do not greatly enhance the performance for Unholy Death Knight, there are two minor glyph provided below that can be used in your minor glyph slots to minmax.
Glyph of Death’s Embrace to conserve your Runic Power if you need to heal your ghoul pet.
Glyph of Resilient Grip in case you end up using Death Grip on targets affected by Ice Block or Divine Shield.
