Discipline Priest 7.3

Recommended Posts

14 hours ago, Guest Rakuum said:

I know there's a lot here, and I'm sorry for that, but I think this should be considered for a viable, less stressful build for a Discipline Priest.  I know that since I've started using it, I've started healing for more, and running low on mana much later in encounters so I encourage you to try it out for yourselves, and see how it does.

While I do have some ideas/comments, I'm going to just pass this on to the writer/reviewer and see if we can get a response there instead - it will likely be much more reliable and accurate than my ramblings!

Thank you for putting so much time into your comment though - I'll make sure that any changes that need to be made are, and any comments on your suggestions and relayed back. Thanks again!

Great disc guide!
Under gear I can recommend "Whispers in the Dark" for a trinket slot (I have Valens in first slot), but "Whispers" do make a noticeable increase in both damage and healing, great for burst encounters when lots of healing is required and the debuff (although noticeable ofc) is manageable with a bit of practice :)

No one has mentioned this, but the ring legendary is horrible compared to even the shoulders legendary -- mostly because a legendary ring doesn't increase stats (especially intellect) as much as a legendary shoulders.  The ring ability is not even close to good enough to make up the difference.  Legendary rankings should consider the amount added to the stats, especially intellect.

I got this recently and just do not like it, N'ero band of promises .  At least the 910 was freq useful but considering the cooldown of PW Barrier being 3min and almost all raid bosses now require constant movement - the chance to make this useful is rare.  

Can anyone else suggest a tactic to increase the proficiency/usefulness of this item.  I been trying to get 2 Penances off before the shield goes down but no luck. I usually try to drop it just before large raid wide dmg, so if I penance right after the heal may just be overheal, and if I wait for dmg, I can only get one penance off. 

I probably am just not using it right,  any suggestions?? or did Disc Priests get another Blood-totem saddle blanket, middle finger.  

I agree totally...Nero is an awful legendary.

Question

I just got the Dehja legendary chestpiece yesterday and was looking over the changes for 7.2.5 where plea won't have its mana cost increased by the number of atonements active. While the 2-charge system for PWR will definitely limit raidwide atonement spread, will these changes ultimately increase the usefulness of this legendary or will it still be undesirable/less effective than others? It sounds like it'll become quite easy to maintain at least 20% haste buff for a raid while not spending absurd amounts of mana if the legendary stays the way it is.

I know I'm slightly late responding to this (Sorry!), but there should be a re-evaluation of everything in the rankings when we update for 7.2.5 - the release should be coming soon, so the updates will launch with it :)

It depends on where they decide to leave the mana cost - from what I remember, it's been increased from something absolutely miniscule (0.3% or something) to 2%. Will most likely require excellent judgement on when to use it, when to conserve etc.

This is probably going to be a "wait and see" sort of thing. I don't think you can speculate the use of it with increased base cost until we see it in practice!

We are currently in the process of updating our guides in preparation for the release of 7.2.5 - all questions about "What is better for 7.2.5, X or Y?" will be answered in our guide updates. Thanks for your patience while we get everything completed and good luck in the new patch!

I skipped quite a few pages of comments so I sincerely apologize if this question has already been asked.

I was curious. The way I would want to play my disc priest is as dps with support heals. However, I can't find anything anywhere which provides information on how the stat priority might change for better mana management or higher dps.

I am well aware that I can not expect to pull the same dps as normal deeps would do, however, I have seen many instances where just a bit more dps is needed, but another healer would have to be tossed into the mix to counter that extra body.

So. Is it possible to have a disc priest more dps focused? And what would that look like?

Take a look at Mileycyrus from Dun Modr - they top nearly every single Mythic ranking for NH (or are in top 3) and run essentially the exact same gear setup as normal. The stat priority would still push for Haste as your primary stat, followed by Crit. You would take Vers > Mastery if you wanted additional damage, but M > V if you want more healing.

Power Infusion is key on the Level 75 talents, as is PtW on level 100.

The talents in game do not align with this guide, I'm very confused. I've logged in and out and it's still the same in game. For example, the lvl 75 talents in game (fully patched of course) show the choices to be Sanctuary, Clarity of Will and Shadow Covenant, the guide shows Contrition, Power Infusion and ToF...what gives?

anyone?

The guide is written for 7.2. We are currently on 7.2.5.

I believe the pages are now all up-to-date. They had been added to our version of the site, but not yet uploaded to the public version. Sorry for the delay and good luck with 7.2.5! :)

Definitely not updated fully yet:  The spell summary page is missing the fact that Penance can be cast on allies again, and PW:R now affects +4 nearby players rather than +2, and an 18sec CD (though with two charges.)  Plea also no longer appears to have the scaling mana cost.  There may be more changes (I don't main priest) but that's just what I noticed running a single heroic dungeon.

The only significant change in playstyle, at least at my level of play, is that you need to plan your PW:R a bit better if you're trying to stack atonements for a stronger Light's Wrath burst.  I imagine there will be some larger adjustments in higher level play though.

Passing all of this on - you are correct though, there is very little change in the actual playstyle of the spec. The rotation section is up-to-date, I believe the writer just missed updating things in the summary section.

I suspect there will still need to be some updating done.  In particular, I don't see any mention of the fact that PW:R only applies 9s (60%) of atonement now, nor that Penance is now a choice between a very strong single-target heal (if you target a player) vs a fairly strong atonement heal (if you target a mob, since only 40% gets transferred to each atonement target.)  I'm not sure how relevant the PW:R bit is for basic rotations (though maybe a note in the "Mastering" section is warranted?)  The Penance change will definitely matter in some situations though, such as when the tank takes a large damage spike (especially in a M+ where you're the only healer and can't just leave the tank to the holy pallys.)

Your guide lists Amalgam's Seventh Spine as being the best mana regen trinket, but sims show Darkmoon Deck: Promises as easily pulling ahead.

Do you by any chance have a link to these sims? I'd like to take a look before passing this on.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

    • By Starym
      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
