So it’s very important that everyone understand one thing. Discipline priest is NOT for healing J

Seriously, Disc Priest job, is to Prevent dmg on raid/tanks.

We don’t have good healing spells, maybe expect one Penence.

(btw, I’m of course writing about PvE aspect of playing Disc)

I truly hate Raid leaders which are wining on my Healing Done on any kind raids, it’s just sad that they have no idea how does Disc Priest works.

There are 2 ways of playing a disc priests in Raids.

   1. is to keep spamming flash/penance/popping shields/renew/mending on tank and tank only.
   2. Is to keep shielding whole raid, (if it’s necessary e.g. constant raid dmg) and keep shields only keep in mind that after “only” shielding your healing done will be close to 0  Some raid leaders may not approve that, you might be even kick off from raid… unfortunately that might  happen

But everyone must understand something, sometimes there is such a big amount of dmg incoming, that’s it’s just impossible to outheal that, and on that time Disc Priest is just the best J Shielding everyone is like giving few thousands more hp to all raid members. You may save anyone who is standing in fire. Shield is biggest instant ‘heal” without a Cool down in game :>

As a Disc you are supposed to have completely different gear than Holy be aware of that.

Massive amount of spell power and crit will help you much better then some spirit/mp5 on gear :)  So basicly you will be rolling on Dps gear, it’s really hard to get Oom as disc priest if you will be using your CD’s (Shadowfiend, Hymn of Hope, Mana potion) properly.

One thing. At start without any proper gear, Healing on Disc is hard, cause you don’t have enough spell power and your shields are so weak that almost non existence :>

So you will be going Oom quite often, but after you get proper gear, it’s gonna be much more fun that facerolling as Holy Priest which is only using 1 spell (Circle of Healing) :P

 btw :> It's obviously possible to just stay and spam Flash heal as Disc Priest and heal everyone and be topping Healing metters, but if you really want to do that Spec Holy :>
