Best PvE Discipline Priests gear Last Database Update: 20 Dec 2019 - Players with 1/8 or more bosses killed in Mythic mode - Items with less than 1% rating are not displayed. Re: disc priest best in slot? First of all, can I say what you need is a balance of stats, so there is technically no black & white rule that tells you how to gear properly. Still you will find in most circumstances (for disc) the priority goes to Int, Crit, Haste/SP, MP/5, Spi. Priest Healing Tier 2 - Battlegear of Heroism Vestments of Transcendence has most of its pieces dropping from the Blackwing Lair raid, with the exception being legs, which drop from Ragnaros in Molten Core, and helm, which drops from Onyxia in Onyxia's Lair. By set bonuses, Transcendence is by far the best healing Priest set in WoW.

As one of the original five classes, Priest has undergone many changes. Priests used to be completely armor-less, had no ability, but could equip two rings. They gained the ability to heal allies in Build 47, and were given robe armor in Build 97. The style of their ability has changed as well, from spell scrolls like the Wizard’s offensive variety to Tomes. The tomes’ healing capabilities and MP costs were reduced in Build 113; the same build changed Priest’s graphics slightly so that he no longer held a shield. Their main weapon, the wand, gained the ability to pierce enemies in Release 25.0.0.

Nowadays, the Priest can be considered one of the strongest robe classes and one of the best support classes in the game due to his ability to instantly heal himself and his allies from damage. However, as a wand class with low attack and dexterity, he is also the least offensive-oriented class. To unlock the Priest, reach level 5 with the Wizard. See his stat gains, caps, and averages here.

As a robe class, the Priest has a higher MP capacity than non-robe classes. In addition, he has a high wisdom cap of 75, allowing him to quickly regain MP. His high WIS also bolsters the healing capabilities of his tome. A speed cap of 55 makes it slightly easier for Priest to dodge projectiles, catch up to a wounded ally, or run to safety. However, like other robe classes, he is very prone to damage, and with a vitality cap of 40, he is more reliant on his tome to keep his HP topped off. In addition, as a wand class with attack and dexterity capped at 50 and 55, respectively, he is effectively the weakest class in the game in terms of raw damage-per-second. This skillset makes Priest a support-oriented class, a role that Priest can fulfill very effectively.

As mentioned earlier, the Priest’s weapon is the wand. Wands are medium-damage, long-ranged, piercing weapons which compensate for the relatively limited protection given by the robes they wear. While the wand makes the Priest offensively feeble compared to other classes, it allows for him to engage targets at a very long distance.

The Wand of Recompense is the best tradable tiered wand, granting a range of 9 tiles. The Wand of Evocation and the Wand of Retribution drops from endgame bosses (Void Entity and Oryx 3) and provides a bit more DPS than Recompense but they are rare due to the difficulty obtaining them. The two respective wands are also soulbound, meaning you can only acquire them by fighting the Void Entity, Oryx’s Sanctuary bosses, or Oryx the Mad God 3 himself.

The only advantage these wands give compared to UT wands is a slightly higher range (only surpassed by the St. Abraham’s Wand), and the ability to pierce enemies as of update 25.0.0.

The Crystal Wand is a rare drop from the Crystal Prisoner. This wand sacrifices some damage and the ability to pierce enemies for a slightly faster rate of fire and the ability to ignore a target’s defense. While the rate of fire increase does not even out the reduction in damage, the ability to flatline your damage per second regardless of defense is very useful against enemies such as the Stone Guardians, the Avatar of the Forgotten King, and especially against enemies found in the Nightmare Colony.

The Wand of the Bulwark works completely differently from any other weapon in the game and is rather peculiar. The wand fires a high damage projectile at a slow rate, and the projectiles move slowly in an hourglass pattern, lasting a long time before disappearing. The nature of this wand makes it very difficult if not impossible to aim; you have to create a minefield and attract your prey into it. Each projectile deals 500-600 damage with a good ATT stat, and they can also move through obstacles as well as enemies. If used right, the Bulwark can be used to decimate enemies. The Bulwark requires a lot of experience and practice to use effectively. Maxing out DEX is essential if you want to quickly set up with this wand, because it has a 33% rate of fire modifier. This wand shouldn’t be used as a main weapon, but it has its uses and can be very enjoyable. Keep in mind, though, as with all piercing weapons, a single projectile will not hit the same enemy twice.

The Conducting Wand is a drop from the Horrific Creation. This wand gives Priest a higher rate of fire and superior DPS to the Recomp against single targets. In addition, its passive +4 WIS works wonder for his tome, but it has a shorter range of 8 tiles and, like the CWand, lacks the ability to pierce enemies.

The Wand of the Fallen is an untiered wand that drops from Daichi the Fallen. It possesses a very high DPS compared to most other wands, but it does not pierce, has a slightly lower rate of fire, and has a very short range of 6.6 tiles. This wand performs excellently in single target boss fights and can effectively make the Conducting Wand obsolete, short of its range. On a Priest, the Wand of the Fallen has higher DPS than every other wand until being edged out by the Bulwark at ~30 DEF.

The Wand of Geb is a ST wand that drops from Geb. It has the same DPS as the Wand of Shadow while having a reduced range of 7 tiles. Unlike other wands, it has a proc effect that shoots a ring of boomerangs around the user that deal damage and slows enemies, having increased range when using the full ST set, making it a more situational wand. It gives even more utility to the class, being able to slow enemies with a decent range and even having a great burst of damage with the ring of shoots if sitting on top of the target is possible.

The Soul’s Guidance is an untiered wand that drops from both the Grave Caretaker and Ghost of Skuld. It has the same DPS as the Wand of Deep Sorcery but with a wavy shot pattern, making it hard to hit enemies depending on the user’s accuracy. However, it has an interesting proc upon firing, creating a blue soul that follows the user dealing damage over its duration and restoring the users HP, potentially dealing up to 1000 damage per soul spawned, and at the end of their duration, the souls charge towards enemies and explode with a curse effect, although with a really small radius. Since the wand has no fire rate penalty, one can amass a solid amount of souls to keep healing it’s user and damaging/cursing enemies.

The St. Abraham Wand is dropped from the Manor of the Immortals. While its damage is comparable to the T9 Wand of Deep Sorcery, the range is its savior. As Update 25.0.0, this remains the only wand with a range of 10 tiles. This allows the Priest to do damage at a safer distance during phases that would not be possible with a tiered wand (i.e Oryx 1/2 dance phase).

This wand also provides +4 VIT and WIS. The VIT allows the Priest scale their In Combat Timer and the slight increase in WIS boosts the Priest’s healing capabilites even more. Overall, this wand is best kept as a swapout for specific fights and phases.

The Magic Wand is an ST wand that drops from the Puppet Minions from the Puppet Master’s Encore. With 150% rate of fire and the ability to pierce shots, it’s most comparable to the Thousand Shot bow. Along with it’s unique property of both ignoring obstacles and shots that boomerang back, it’s the perfect wand for clearing the Realm, particularly the Mountains/Godlands.

It can also be a viable main wand, but with the lessened range of 7.2 and particularly large damage range it may be better to switch to a more consistent wand in that regard.

Ability

The Priest is a long ranged healing class. Unlike the Paladin, the heal is instantaneous – perfect for sticky situations – but lacks the 25% attack boost of the Paladin. His tome will heal every player within the vicinity of the Priest when cast. Most tiered tomes also provide a lingering healing buff that increases players’ HP regeneration beyond the initial healing.

The Priest’s ability is what makes him such an amazing support class and a long-lasting soloing class, even with robes. His ability can turn the tide of the battle, help out players who are taking large sums of damage, and even prevent them from dying. Although healing others is not necessary, often you’ll find that fellow adventurers will appreciate and respect you for doing so. Tomes are also affected by your character’s wisdom, so the more wisdom your priest has, the stronger the heal is and the longer the healing lasts.

The Tome of Holy Guidance is the best tradable tiered tome as it can heals the most HP and provide the longest Healing buff duration. The Tome of Hallowed Language grants a bit more healing per use but it is a soulbound drop from Oryx 3. However they have a fairly high cost of 120-130 MP to cast a heal.

The Tome of Purification has a similar heal as the top-tier tomes with greater range at the cost of 110 MP. It has the unique capability of removing negative status effects from the user. Unlike the tiered tomes, it does not grant Healing, but does give a useful +10 VIT and +10 WIS, which further increases its healing potential. A Priest with high enough WIS can heal up to 320 HP per cast, making it have one of the best MP per heal ratio of all tomes.

The Book of Geb retains the Healing effect and is the only tome that grants speedy on use while costing only 100 MP, making it a good choice for rushing dungeons or clearing realms. The added +5 DEF, +3 VIT and +3 WIS also helps when taking damage while rushing. In addition, the Speedy from this tome synergizes well with Ring of Unbound Speed (UBSpeed) as it allows the Priest travel even faster than normal.

The Tome of Holy Protection (Prot) is a unique untiered tome that heals less than the top tier tomes at a cost of 150 MP. But instead of granting the Healing status effects, it gives an Armored status to the user for a minimum of 4 seconds. Armored status increases target’s defense by 50%, so this tome turns the Priest tanky as a Warrior/Paladin for the duration, and it heals HP. Bringing MP potions or a high level pet only makes things easier. The Priest becomes resistant to almost all forms of damage this way, and using this tome consistently makes taking damage far easier.

The Tome of Pain is the only tome that damages enemies, giving the priest an offensive ability (500 damage) that also heals. However, this tome’s healing is less than that of the other tomes, at 80 hp for the cost of 120 MP. The stat bonuses gained from the tome increase the class’s offensive and defensive abilities with +4 ATT, +4 SPD +2 DEF, but affect the overal health of a player with penalties of -5 VIT and -20 HP.

The light robes worn by the Priest pairs well with his high Wis and it increases his tomes’ potency even further, amplifying the effectiveness of his ability, and boosting his MP to cast heals more often.

The Robe of the Grand Sorcerer / Robe of the Star Mother / Robe of the Ancient Intellect are the primary armors of the Priest. Both provide ample Defense and MP, higher WIS, and boosted ATT. While these robes may not be as powerful in specific areas as some untiered robes their versatility cannot be ignored, one can never go wrong with these.

The Water Dragon Silk Robe is a UT robe obtained from Nikao the Azure Dragon. This robe sacrifces all its MP, 1 DEF and 3 WIS for 2 extra ATT and a hefty 6 SPD. While Priests who are dependent on their tomes to heal, the increase in weapon damage and maneuverability allows increased overall DPS and rushing ability. Overall this robe is a solid choice for a Priest who are playing offensively.

The Ritual Robe is obtained from Malus in the Lost Halls. This robe should be the goal of Priest building around their maxing their WIS. While losing 20 MP and 4 DEF from a Robe of the Star Mother, it more than makes up for with 5 ATT and an extraordinary +15 bonus to WIS. This, combined with the WisMod scaling that increases Priest’s tome healing, Healing duration and range significantly. The Ritual Robe can add an extra 60 healing per cast on most of tomes, and makes for a great robe when focusing on supporting his teammates.

Ring

A top choice by many player, the Ring of Unbound Health or the Ring of Decades provides a hefty boost of +180/+190 HP. Pure health rings benefit a priest by allowing them to absorb more damage, before instantly restoring it again with a simple use of a tome.

The Forgotten Crown or the Ring of the Pyramid can be used instead of a pure health ring because along with a health boost, they supply a Priest with a much needed DPS boost.

Although rarely used, the Ring of Unbound Magic (UBMP) is the best tradable tiered ring if playing as a full support Priest. It can provide a massive boost of +180 MP. The Priest himself already has a massive MP capacity, but this ring allows him to push his support role to the extreme level and to compensate the fairly high tome-casting cost. It allows him using tiered tome few more times before needing to regain MP, which is a godsend when his teammates need constant healing.

One of the unconventional choice, the Ring of Unbound Defense (UBDef) is the best tradable Defence ring. It fits well for a Priest because of his low Defence cap. In addition, it synergizes well with Prot’s Armored effect, which it allows him to be tanky as Knight if maxed Defence.

Another unconventional choice for the Priest, the Ring of Unbound Attack (UBAtt) is the highest tiered tradable DPS ring that provides +10 Attack for the Priest. While Dex ring is not a bad choice, UBAtt beats UBDex when dealing with foes that has 16 or more Defence.

For more defensive or support based priests, one may choose a more wisdom/mana based ring. The Twilight Gemstone and Sourcestone are rare and very useful ring for the priest, supplying one with +110 MP, along with a SPD boost of +6 each. The catch is while Gemstone provides +6 Defence, Sourcestone provides +110 HP.

The Ring of the Sphinx is a mix of support/offense, giving +100 MP, and +4 to both DEX and WIS. It allows him to strengthen his tome’s healing power a bit more and able to cast one more healing. In addition, the +4 Dex increases Priest’s low DPS.
The Bloodshed Ring is a rare ring that drops from Malus in the Cultist Hideout. It provides +100 HP, +5 Wis and Defence. It fits well for a Priest because it can increase the potency of his tome and at the same time increases his survivability, which is also equally important for the Priest.

Geb’s Ring of Wisdom supplies a hefty boost of wisdom (+10), which matches Ring of Unbound Wisdom. The catch is, it also gives +25 to both HP and MP, and +5 VIT. The Ring of the Covetous Heart gives the priest a damage boost with its +5 ATT, and supplies the priest with +8 WIS. It also gives +15 HP and +50 MP, creating a balanced ring for offensive play and support.

Some priests that want to have a balanced approach may want to consider the Bracer of the Guardian (Bracer), Ring of the Nile (Nile), or the Experimental Ring (Expo). Each of these rings provide a balanced +60 to both HP and MP. The Bracer also gives +6 to DEF and ATT, suitable for balanced gameplay. The Nile allows for a faster paced support, giving +4 to both SPD and DEX. The Expo gives a priest increased survivability with its +4 to DEF and VIT.

Some of the strengths of the Priest is that he is an essential class for fighting event bosses in groups and he can solo many event bosses when maxed out pretty easily. His ability can be considered to be one of the best in the game and is what turns him from a frail robe class to a class with a lot of survivability.

One of the Priest’s biggest weaknesses is that his MP is much more crucial to his function than any other class, which makes the Quiet status from specific enemies more feared. Another weakness of the Priest is having the lowest DPS of all classes due to his low offensive stats and the generally low DPS of wands compared to other weapons.

Another weakness is that the Priest is much more prone to shotguns than most other classes. Tomes work best when the Priest takes small amounts of damage multiple times or so, not taking large amounts of damage at the same time, especially considering the Priest’s low defense and robes. This is why the Priest needs to fight from a distance. Instantaneous heals, status effect removal, and armored all need to be used carefully – a mistimed heal or buff can mean a very quick death!

Because of his long range and healing abilities, Priest is debatably the safest class in the game, and is a very suitable class for new players or players committed to a new player experience. A freshly leveled Priest already has a good deal of survivability and utility that will only increase as he consumes stat potions. His abilities allow him to safely farm the godlands for stat potions. As with any class, a good rule of thumb is to prioritize maxing SPD, DEX, and DEF, but they do not need to be maxed in any particular order. In the hands of a skilled player, Priest’s high survivability makes him capable of soloing most common dungeons, providing him with a persistent, if time-consuming, way to max his stats. Having a good deal of patience and time is very beneficial to playing a fresh Priest.

Group Role

With the ability to instantly heal himself and his allies, the Priest is probably the most ideal support class in the game. While the Priest is not obligated to heal teammates, any good Priest will generously heal others during event and dungeon bosses because it helps prolong the group’s survivability and thus helps take down bosses faster. The Priest is a catalyst to speeding up the progress of farming the godlands, taking down bosses, or anything else because his ability makes things easier for others all around.

Priests are very useful in event and dungeon bosses. They play mostly as a support class but can also become a strong solo class. Wands sacrifice DPS for longer range and piercing, which means that a lot of time and patience is necessary when using a priest to solo bosses. As a robe class, they need to be wary so they don’t wind up tanking too much damage before they are able to react to it. The priest isn’t typically used for getting soulbound damage since he has the lowest dps in the game. However, once maxed, they can become one of the most resilient solo classes in the game and can still manage to attain soulbound in smaller groups.

Strategies

There are two main strategies that can be used with the priest: offensive and defensive.

-Offensive: The priest can use his ability to absorb a lot of damage and then heal back his HP. Using this strategy, the priest tanks damage and stands within attack range of the boss to ensure soulbound, healing repetitively every time his health drops below half. Many players find this strategy more exciting, but it doesn’t make a whole lot of difference in terms of getting soulbound damage as long as you have good aim. It is recommended to not tank high damage shots unless you have at least maxed def. A Prot is very useful with this strategy. It can also be used to rush relatively well, especially with a speedy granting tome.

-Defensive: This is the safer and more commonly used strategy for the priest. It involves staying far from enemies and using your long range to your advantage. It is safer and easier, but it might not get you soulbound as easily. Because you are shooting far from the enemy you are fighting, it may be difficult to hit them because most wands are capable of hitting enemies off-screen, even with an off-center camera. You will not have to heal as often using this strategy, so be prepared to heal someone if you are in a group. It is recommended to use this strategy if you are a new player, not maxed, or simply afraid of dying.

These are only suggestions though; get out there and play the Priest however it best suits you!

The Priest excels as a support class. Even though he has the worst DPS in the game, he is capable of almost anything on his own and can do things that other classes can’t do (like walking towards an armies of gods). Used for supporting or attacking, the Priest is almost unbeatable with the correct use of the tome and wand, and almost invincible once maxed. Just watch out for those quiet shots! If you want a very safe class that can attack at long range and effectively support a group, the Priest is for you!

Stats are a key component when customizing your Discipline Priest in World of Warcraft--having the right combination of them can be crucial to your performance.

In this guide, we will detail the best stat priority for your Discipline Priest, as well as provide explanations covering how to determine Discipline Priest stat priorities personalized for your character in Shadowlands, as well as how to check if a piece of gear is BiS, upgrade or just bad for you.

Besides talking about your Discipline Priest stat priority, we will also cover your stats in-depth, explaining nuances and synergies for niche situations that go beyond a generic Discipline Priest priority.

Discipline Priest Stats

Shadowlands brings very radical changes in the field of stats for every class. With Diminishing Returns added to secondary stats, the idea of stacking one single stat is something that is seen less often. On top of that, Shadowlands brings another item level squish that reduces the item level bloat from previous expansions.

For secondary stats, the Disc Priest has the following:

• Critical Strike: Provides a chance to double the damage and healing done by your spells. Overall very solid stat.
• Haste: Haste reduces the cooldown of certain spells like Solace, which can greatly improve our efficiency, and also other damage and healing spells, which results in greater throughput. More rapid casts allow for more Atonements to be placed out for specific windows of damage.
• Mastery: Mastery: Grace increases all healing and absorbs on targets with Atonement. Once you have a suitable amount of Haste, you will look towards high ilvl gear with both Mastery and Critical Strike on them. If you are more focused on Mythic+/5mans, you may look for stats that will increase your damage instead of Mastery.
• Versatility: Provides a linear gain in outgoing healing and damage, as well as reduction of damage taken. Versatility does NOT double dip with Atonement healing. Only the healing portion affects it.

• Avoidance: Excellent survivability stat
• Leech: HPS and survivability increase. Healing and Damage done will translate to self-healing
• Speed: Mobility increase
• Indestructible: Unbreakable gear!

Best Stats for Disc Priest

Raids

1. Item level
2. Haste
3. Critical Strike
4. Mastery
5. Versatility

• Item level> Haste > Critical Strike/Mastery/Versatility

This breakdown for raids is focused primarily on Disc's hunger for more Haste. While most secondaries are quite close, Haste allows the spec to more easily apply Atonement that can be extended by Evangelism creating greater mana savings and a stronger response to raid wide damage. Haste also allows more damage casts to fit into the Schism damage windows that often align with Evangelism. More Atonements extended and greater damage done while all of those Atonements remain on targets is a high priority in Disc's raid healing.

Keep in mind that secondaries after Haste are pretty close together and you will often pursue the highest item level when intellect is involved. In rings, you can have more leeway towards taking higher Haste pieces as long as the ilvl is not too significantly lower.

Dungeons

1. Intellect
2. Haste
3. Critical Strike
4. Versatility
5. Mastery

• Intellect > Haste > Critical Strike/Versatility > Mastery

These stats are focused on maximizing your damage while still providing strong throughput increases in a Mythic+ environment. Mastery, as the only secondary that does not increase your damage, is less desirable when optimizing for competitive speed runs.

How Covenant Choices Affect Disc Priest Stats

Diszi Priest Best In Slot Machines

In short, they don't. Whichever covenant you choose will not drastically change your focus as a Discipline Priest, so as a result your stat priority won't be changed either.

How Legendaries affect Disc Priest Stats

Disc Priest Best In Slot

Legendaries also do not impact your stat focus. Clarity of Mind and The Penitent One look to be your top two options in Season 1 of Shadowlands and both of them synergize with your existing builds.
