[Glyph of Insect Swarm] increases the damage of [Insect Swarm] by 30%. Thus this is often considered one of the best prime glyphs to maximize damage for a Balance Druid.
Tips and Tactics
- The talent is useful when used in conjunction with Moonfire. In addition, it's a cheap DoT that gains 120% from your +spell damage, which makes it desirable for certain balance builds and one of the most mana-efficient DoTs in the game.
- In a raiding perspective the damage mitigation with the chance to miss helps with the survival of the main tank.
- Unlike most (all?) Druid spells, Insect Swarm does not interrupt the swing timer.[1]
Patch changes
- Patch 4.0.1 (2010-10-12): No longer a talent, available to all druids.
- Patch 3.1.0 (2009-04-14): The bonus damage from spell power on this damage-over-time ability has been increased significantly to match similar spells on other classes (from 76% to 120%).
- Patch 3.0.3 (2008-11-04): Tooltip corrected to indicate it does not affect hit chance with spells.
