Discipline priest 

I am planning on starting up a sicipline priest, and from what it seems like they are holy DPS. (Not sure bout that)
If anyone has a build for a discipline priest, or knows what type of gear they use please post. Ty :)

RE: Discipline priest 

Discipline is kind of like the buff/fill in type of talent tree. It looks like it would do more damage than Holy, but if you wanted damage, theres this thing called Shadow Form, it basically eats children while sleeping...and across the world. But I don't really know, kind of just typing to wake up from my stupid trip back last night, and to bump this a bit. So...

Because
U
Might want to
Pay every 3 months, saves money that way.

Man I'm so sneaky! Nobody will ever realize I just bumped this!

RE: Discipline priest 

I don't wanna be shadow to much, cuz everyone is shadow...
Also I have seen discipline really own in PvP, and wantto try it out, if anyone is an outcast in the WoW community and roled a disclipline priest (Or a ret pally :O) then please tell me a spec for a discipline priest.

I am a holy priest and I love it, I do a ton of damage on my 29 twinked out holy priest! Sure there is no such thing as +holy damage gear but you can still get +spell damage gear and it works just fine! I also have a lot of spirit, stam and agility so IM A PRIEST TANK! no not really but I try to be sometimes lmao.

Anyway something like this would give you pure holy damage output:

RE: Discipline priest 

I think one of the things that's troubling in WoW is so many people are speccing famous PvP builds for PvE. That's why there's so many Shadow Priests.

Anyhoo, good to see some differences, we desperately need more priests that can actually do some healing!

RE: Discipline priest 

It seems like a disciple priest is more of a close combat char than shadow or holy, it seems like a solid character against melee but I do not have any idea on builds since my priest never got past 25, but hopefully someone will come and teach us all ^_^

RE: Discipline priest 

Ok, I found out what discipline priests are (Ty wowwiki)

QUOTE
The Discipline Priest is the jack of all trades, but master of none. Talents in the Discipline Tree focus on longevity, efficiency, utility and overall improvement. A priest with heavy investment in the Discipline tree is able to heal moderately well, and deal moderate damage. They are by no means the best at either, but can function in both roles well, and can often endure a large amount of damage themselves due to their Improved Power Word: Shield and Improved Power Word: Fortitude spells. 



I am trying to compare Dru's build:
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classe...000000000000000
With another build I found:
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classe...000000000000000
Any ideas which is better? Or at least better for PvE?

RE: Discipline priest 

When I was thinking PVE I did something similar but I thought you wanted pure damage output so I went with what I showed you. If you plan on doing some healing and some DPS, I would still go with wands over unbreakable will because in my experience you do not get stunned, feared or silenced all that often unless you are in a Battle Ground. 99% of the time it will be in a boss fight and the boss will do it weather or not you have the unbreakable will so its not really worth it over wands, you can dot up and kill something with your wand.

I also dont agree with not getting improved Fort. thats just CRAZY! You want all the protection you can get and you can give to your party, so get it, keep it love it! Inner Fire also good to have, if your going discipline more than likely you will take some hits while soloing so armor is a good thing. I know a lot of discipline priests that used to get TONS of agility to buff up their armor...I dont know if it is effective but meh its a thought.

Imp mana burn, meh probably wont use it all that much, its a slow cast time and takes lots of mana, thats why the talent takes it down by a whole second...thats up to you. Focused power is okay too, I thing its good but its another take it or leave it, depending on if you have the points to spend thing.

Force of will is important IMO, its one of the best DPS talents outside of the shadow tree. Reflective shield is a must for every discipline priest. Enlightenment is also very nice to have but its the first one I take points out of if I have to find points for something else, not only because its at the end but its a stats thing so I can buff up my armor to make up for it ya know?


Now for holy things, I wouldnt get holy specialization unless your going to focus on crit over damage. If you are then get it and for healing definately try to get inspiration. Crit talents go together IMO.

Imp renew is nice as is healing focus because the worst is trying to heal yourself and getting killed because your getting hit. Divine Fury is a must for a discipline priest, as is Searing Light IMO if you can find the points to put into it. Also pick up blessed recovery, that thing procs ALL the time during melee combat!

Holy nova is nice so you have an AoE spell. And that is all you are going to get depending on how you spec, you may not even get searing light, it all depends.

Thats just my opinion on what you should do.

RE: Discipline priest 

Wow, this topic has given me a new idea for thought.

What if you combined the rep gain of Kotor with WoW?

So you could have the option of choosing what talent tree, like now. Or you could let it progress depending on your gear and usage, to choose for you your talent specs.

So say you're a Priest, it would see that x number of people have died while you were casting a healing spell, then suggest you put points into decreasing the casting time of spells.

It would take into account the fact that you solo once in a while and use skills that don't normally see light in groups.

Could even be a mod, but I'm clueless when it comes to that kind of thing. One that gives you hints whenever you level.

Anyway, I'm getting interested in my priest again. Level 20 NE Priest, holy specc'd with a bit of Discipline. One reason I'd dust her off is to give a hearty (you know what) to all the priests who use their class to get into groups, then once one member dies, say they're shadow.

Well, you know what I'm talking about, right?

The priest gets invited:

"Can you heal"
"Yeah"

Into the instance we go!

Tank's health goes down by about 2% a second, not really that much.

Tank Dies.

"What's up *name of priest*"
"Stupid Tank"
"You didn't heal him"
"I'm Shadow Specc'd"

*World's Biggest Sigh*

RE: Discipline priest 

The Discipline Tree is best for the players that like to PvP and don't care too much about getting kills. They are all about the assist. <3 Disc.
