Your leveling glyphs are mostly the same as your endgame glyphs. Glyphs can bea huge boost to your DPS capabilities as some glyphs greatly improve the baselinepower of your key abilities.

Lava Lash damage.

Stormstrike ability.
Glyph of Feral Spirit — another passive boost, this time to your
Feral Spirit guardians damage.

Glyph of Lightning Shield — causes
Lightning Shield tono longer go under 3 charges when you are attacked, making it a powerful glyph forleveling, especially!
Glyph of Chain Lightning — increases the targets hit by
Chain Lightningby 2 while decreasing damage taken by the first target, a very worthwhile tradeoff against large clumps of enemies.
Glyph of Fire Nova — increases the radius of
