The stat priority for Discipline Priests in PvP is as follows:

Intellect is the best stat in all situations. Versatility is the strongest secondary stat at all times due to it increasing your damage and healing done and reducing your damage taken. Mastery is a flat healing increase to every target with Atonement. Haste is also an amazing stat as it reduces your global cooldown, increases your cast and channel speed, and increases the tick rate of your DoT spells.

Note: If you plan on playing the more damage-focused build with Voidweaver Hero talents, you want to focus on Versatility & Haste as your primary stats.

In general, Discipline Priests want to get trinkets that increase their overall healing output. These trinkets can have a passive or on-use effect. The stat you want to be increasing is Versatility and either Mastery or Haste, with Voidweaver wanting Haste, and Oracle preferring Mastery instead.

If you plan on playing Voidweaver, you want to prioritize Versatility and Haste with the following gear:

It is important to note that ALL tier sets are nerfed to 33% effectiveness in PvP. Although this nerf is significant, some tier sets are still important to acquire to maximize your chances to win. For Discipline Priests, this is your tier set:

• 2-set: Penance damage and healing increased by 20%. Casting Penance reduces the cooldown of Mind Blast by 2 sec.
• 4-set: After casting Mind Blast, your next Power Word: Shield or Void Shield absorbs 25% more damage.

In general, it is recommended to get both 2-set and 4-set for Discipline Priests

Embellishments are bonuses that can be put on crafted gear. These affects can have a drastic impact on the game. You are only allowed to have 2 Embellishments equipped at the same time. Here are the recommended Embellishments for Discipline Priest:

• Blessed Pango Charm gives your healing spells a chance to grant Versatility to your target. This is great for increasing the survivability of your team. Craft this on both rings or a ring and a neck.
