Trying out some stuff outside raid times.

So asking the Disc priests out there.

Disc DPS or Disc Healer more fun?

Haven't tried Disc DPS yet. What's the talent build like? (Armory down so didn't go check the rank PvPers).

something like this maybe..

stick to heal, get a real dps.

or if you want to dps that much, stop being a priest and be a real dps.

unless S&M is your thing, feel free to go shadow

lolol...i know crap bout priests..

I need to farm honor. lol! Where u been ah? Need partner to farm honor. Although some days, the BG are pure shit.

Disc healing Priest 3v3 or 5v5 geng.

Disc surge of light smite BG geng, because u can heal and instant smite at the same time, to me;

2 sec cast Holy Fire Crit 2.5k damage prot surge of light
0.5 sec to surge of light smite 1.6k (no global cooldown)
0.5 sec to Power word 1.7k Crits happens alot in pve and pvp

5.8k damage in 3 sec is fun, it's not rare it happened quite often to me ; )

tired most of the nights nowadays..

Weren't you the guy who went on and on about Holy DPS last year?

btw, specs i posted are just some random specs i picked up from some arena priests..
arena specs are specific to the team/setup so might not be suitable for others or just for doing BGs..
but if u ask me, for BGs i think playing as a healer is more valuable for the team coz there aren't so many of them doing BGs..or else just go face melting spec like before..

sk-gaming cookie cutter builds. no brainer, effective. do et.

sk-gamings overated..

Well, he's right though. I did spec based on SK-Gamings rating. Easier that way.

Just need to farm honor. But the BGs in Bloodlust is a damn pain. A lot of bots now or AFKers.

pray u join the non botters n non afkers game or games where ppl know what to do...

For lolsmite/ disc priest very gear dependent. Before you even want to think about getting serious in arena, farm s1 gear minimum. Disc priest do better in 3v3 and above, while BGs they're exceptionally cool

Mana drain Disc is the spec to be, while if you go deep enough PI & PS are awesome thou somewhat situational. e.g partner with mage gg

the first spec does not have spell warding for spell dmg mitigation. it does not have silent resolve for 20% resist dispel mechanics, no improved healing for more cost effective healing. some of the points u do not need to spend on is force of will and enlightenment. while enlightenment sounds good, it is preferable to spend them on spell warding or silent resolve. as for force of will, i have no idea why u put points there. ur main tasks in arena is to heal and dispel, not to dps.

fyi, ur spell crit only increases the crit chance of ur shadow dmg when u cast mana burn, the amount of mana burned does not crit.

also, you only need to put 1-2 points in blessed recovery as that talent is there to proc a buff on yourself when u get crit, thus giving u an additional buff for the opponents to dispel.

the other spec is identical to the spec i posted earlier, so i have no comments to make.

ok taken to note i agree with 90% of what you said but the enlightment part shouldnt that be left so that healer can get more mana/hp/regen?

yeah imp shield is helpful. but u only spec it later on. if u've just started arenas with a grp of friends and all of u are undergeared, go for imp fort. it gives everyone a little added stamina at the beginning of the fight.

however, when everyone is well geared with res and stam, switch to imp shield. this is how a priest's shield works. it adds 20% of your +healing from gear to it. ur 15% talent is calculated after that fact. so it makes sense that it scales better with more healing gear. and i mean pvp healing gear, dont go in with nub items like hallowed set.

about enlightenment, again, it scales better with gear. if u have 10k health u gain 500 hp with 5 points in enlightenment. like i said, that sounds good. but when choosing where to put your talents for pvp, u must really put thought into situations where your points will help you AND your teammates survive the fight. that 5% increased stam, intel and spirit is only for yourself. spirit is useless in pvp, which is why our pvp gear has mp5 in it. 5% increase stam isn't going to help you last longer when a rogue's white hit on u does more dmg than that.

if compared to silent resolve, your buffs are not so easily dispelled. you can put renew on your teammates and just renew + pom and run around like a chicken in arenas, only stopping once in a while to throw a flash heal or greater heal, because your renews and pom can't be dispelled that easily. your fort on you and your teammates have a better chance to resist dispels.

if compared to spell warding, the 10% spell dmg mitigation from spell warding will work on every spell. a 2k frostbolt will be less 200 dmg. so after 3 hits, it already mitigates 600 dmg. that's already worth more than the initial 500 hp u gain from enlightenment. also, now that resilience mitigates DoT dmg from spells, imagine 10% DoT dmg mitigation from resilience added with 10% from spell warding. that's 20% mitigation for DoT spells. when u meet a DoT heavy team, you're gonna be thankful that u have spell warding.

as for 5% increase spirit in arena, lol u hardly regen mana from spirit while in combat. my advise is to buy some star's tears from one of the vendors in the hall of legends, find a quiet place to sit down in arena and drink. otherwise, use ur shadow doggie. (use it when u have used 4k mana, not when ure near empty)

why we put 1 point in divine spirit is so that we have 1 extra buff that might overlay the other buffs lol. 1 extra buff for the opponents to dispel.

if u still want to talent imp shield, u can sacrifice the 3 points from either mental agility or absolution, or a combination of both. my suggestion is 2 points in absolution and 3 points in mental agility.
