Best Enchants, Gems and Consumables for Discipline Priest
Cataclysm enchants, gems, and consumables present an additional way to further augment your Discipline Priest. Enchants imbue weapons and armor with potent magical properties to enhance their power. Gems are meticulously socketed into gear, enhancing attributes and rounding gear out to fit your exact needs. Consumables ranging from elixirs to potions, provide temporary boosts to vital stats, granting crucial advantages in the heat of combat. All of these systems play a role in boosting the power of your character when facing Cataclysm's deadly challenges.
Enchants
Below is a list of the recommended enchants for a Discipline Priest in Cataclysm Classic. If there are multiple viable enchants for a gear slot, they are listed in order of value. Some enchants require a specific profession to use them; if you do not have the profession, simply look at the next enchant shown on the list.

Both Enchant Weapon - Heartsong and Enchant Weapon - Power Torrent are viable options. Enchant Weapon - Heartsong offers an increase to Mana regeneration, and only has a 20 second cooldown, frequently giving you procs. Enchant Weapon - Power Torrent gives pure healing throughout from Intellect, but has a 45 second cooldown. Overall both weapon enchants have similar value, with Enchant Weapon - Heartsong being slightly higher value when not in full best in slot gear.
Gems
Below is a list of the recommended gems for a Discipline Priest in Cataclysm. Be sure to meet your Meta Gem requirements by using at least two Yellow Gems. You will typically want to gem as much Intellect as possible; avoid socket bonuses if they offer less than 10 Intellect or 20 Secondary stats.
Sockets | Gems |
---|---|
Ember Shadowspirit Diamond — make sure you meet the requirements for it to be active | |
Brilliant Inferno Ruby | |
Reckless Ember Topaz | |
Purified Demonseye | |
Brilliant Chimera's Eye — Requires Jewelcrafting, can use up to 3 | |
Sparkling Cogwheel & Quick Cogwheel — Requires Engineering, can use 2 in helm |
Consumables
Below is a list of the recommended consumables for a Discipline Priest in Cataclysm. Some consumables have multiple options depending on your needs; be sure to choose accordingly.
Food
Your food buff will always be 90 Intellect during Cataclysm, with a few different options you can choose from; pick whichever you can get the cheapest.
- Fortune Cookie
- Seafood Magnifique Feast
- Severed Sagefish Head
Flasks and Potions
You only have 1 flask option for Catalsym, unlike previous expansions.
- Flask of the Draconic Mind
You have 2 potion choices while in combat, and 1 pre-potion you can use to boost your damage and healing on the pull.
- Volcanic Potion — Only use this as a pre-pull potion.
- Potion of Concentration — Channel for 10 seconds, restoring Mana every second. Does not break on damage taken, but does break on movement or spell cast. Use this if you can afford to not heal for 10 seconds as they give the most Mana.
- Mythical Mana Potion — Use this if you are unable to use Potion of Concentration on fights without downtime.
Profession Items
Compared to past expansions, you will need to carry far less additional consumables on you. We simply recommend keeping some bandages on you for quick, mana-free heals.
- Dense Embersilk Bandage
