Brawlers: What do you think of HM crit glyph this patch?

This could just be me being unlucky with crits, but it has felt like bosses in VSHM have insane amount of crit resist compared to previous patch's bosses, and this is especially apparent to me in parties healed by a solo priest. Do you guys think triple crit chance on Haymaker is worth glyphing this patch to compensate for that? And if so, which glyph(s) would you remove to free up glyph points?

I'm playing around with my glyphs at the moment. For solo priest parties, I'm currently experimenting with removing Piledriver dmg glyph for Haymaker crit glyph. With a mystic, my Haymaker crit rate isn't too bad, so I haven't made any changes for parties with a Mystic.

    If you're going to ask about whether or not it's worth it to get the trip crit glyph for HM for personal use, you should probably state your crit rate. Even with the triple HM glyph, if your crit rate is low then it's entirely possible for RNG to screw you out of any HM crits.

    Also said HM glyph seems to generally be a good idea since Brawler glyphs mostly consist of "must haves" and "must not haves" regarding bosses that can't be KD'd or knocked up into the air - especially since you can pretty much ignore glyphs for several of your skills that more than likely won't be used during boss fights (Meat Grinder, Divine Wrath, etc.)
    With that being said, I agree with Uptown. In general, HM is too important of a skill to risk it not critting, so the glyph for it is fairly important regardless.

    From recent experience, having around +200 base (without buffs) still makes Haymaker crit 100% without the glyph - but this should be coupled with Growing Fury and Mystic Aura. Seems right now if you want to get a power roll on circlet, the +24 crit inners is a must, else it should be a crit circlet. With perfect rolls on everything and mixed jewelry setup this should come to around +198 base (Energetic etchings, +24 crit inners, power circlet, Quatrefoil/Marrow). With a solo priest, going full crit jewelries would be advisable, since if you only glyph Haymaker crit, other skills' crit would suffer; and Priests give more Power anyway, hence making up for using full crit setup.

    Once the Growing Fury buff (+20 more crit) and the Resizing Kits for God/Heaven jewelries come, it would make the Haymaker crit glyph more obsolete for everything; except maybe HH20.

    Still, regarding the movement of glyph points, if you're using the optimal Brawler glyph build, I'd say it's generally safe to move the Powerlink Counter glyph since I think having Growing Fury on 0 cd makes using Counter a less of a priority (imo it's the least priority skill to use if there's something else available, even Flip Kick). Although this depends on the boss, since for example for Imperator, he doesn't attack much, so it's safe to consider moving the Counterpunch cooldown for him as well.
