When the new 5.0 patch flips over on Aug. 28, will you be ready with glyphs? Blizzard is recycling old glyphs instead of making new spell IDs and charring old ones. Some glyphs are staying the same, some are new, but some share IDs with old Cataclysm glyphs.

Below is our list of new or changing glyphs for warlocks. This is not a list of changing tooltips, just which glyphs you ought to have if you want to automatically have the new glyphs when the patch flips over.

Warlocks have no new glyphs but do have a lot of name switching or morphing from old abilities into the related new ability. A lot of the warlock glyph changes shift into cosmetic minors.

Glyphs that are changing into new majors:

• Chaos Bolt becomes Burning Embers
• Immolate becomes Dark Soul
• Metamorphosis becomes Demon Hunting
• Felhunter becomes Demon Training
• Lash of Pain becomes Everlasting Affliction
• Imp becomes Imp Swarm
• Corruption becomes Siphon Life
• Drain Soul becomes Soul Consumption
• Haunt becomes Soul Shards

Glyphs that are changing into new minors:

• Seduction becomes Carrion Swarm
• Soul Link becomes Crimson Banish
• Voidwalker becomes Falling Meteor
• Incinerate becomes Hand of Gul'dan
• Death Coil becomes Nightmares
• Howl of Terror becomes Subtlety
• Bane of Agony becomes Verdant Spheres

Every week, WoW Insider brings you Blood Pact for affliction, demonology, and destruction warlocks. This week, Megan O'Neill gets excited for old content's two-handed melee weapons. Time to go soloing!

The header picture is actually a transmog outfit I've done up in MogIt for my paladin. I had a shield version for her protection off spec, but linking it on Twitter led me to this badass fel-green two-handed axe, which I just had to go get.

Then it hit me: I probably did the quest line on my warlock too long ago for Loremaster and vendored said axe for gold because transmogrification wasn't even in the cards yet. WTB a retroactive quest reward vendor, please!

If your warlock hasn't done the Cipher of Damnation quest line, for fel's sake go do it and grab the Torn-Heart Axe of Battle. This comment guides you through the whole thing. It's a long quest line that might take you up to an hour depending on how much you AFK through auto-flying, but the axe is going to be worth it in Mists of Pandaria.

We've been hearing a lot about the changes to glyphs in Mists of Pandaria. And sure, they all sound neat and all. But the most exciting glyph for our demon-loving warlock friends? It's the Glyph of Nightmares.

This glyph lets you cross water without the services of a stinking death knight. Even cooler, you leave huge streams of fire behind you. Not sure if it'll look awesome? Check out this video from the beta -- streams of fire across water. Sure, it's no one-hit kill, but it's about the most visceral, awesome warlock effect possible short of green fire.
