General Information

On this page, you will find tips, tricks, and strategies tailored to your Discipline Priest for each boss of the following raid: Amirdrassil. All our content is updated for World of Warcraft — Season 4.

1.

Introduction

Below, you can find class and spec-specific advice for every fight in Amirdrassil. If you are looking for a general overview of the Raid that is not spec-specific, check out our dedicated Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope guides.

On this page, you will find Discipline Priest specific information to deal with each boss in the Amirdrassil raid. This page assumes that you already understand most of the mechanics of each encounter. These can be found on the full raid guide, so what is contained here are details specifically tailored toward Discipline Priest and what you can do to deal with each fight as best as possible.

To provide the most accurate raid guide possible, we teamed up with Viserio, creator of the Raid Timer Spreadsheet, which you can find on his Discord

2.

Talents

Both talent builds provided below will be used in raid on a boss by boss basis. The only significant difference between the builds is the use of Mindbender Icon Mindbender versus Shadowfiend Icon Shadowfiend. Shadowfiend provides a stronger, but less frequnt burst, where Mindbender provides a weaker, but more frequent, burst. The determining factor for what is better is the bosses damage patterns and timers. See the boss-specific recommendations below for which build to use where.

Shadowfiend Raid Build for Discipline Priest

This build is our default recommended build for raiding content. Utilizing the large burst windows of Shadowfiend Icon Shadowfiend will provide the largest gain, provided you can force the cooldown to be available at the right times with Void Summoner Icon Void Summoner. This build goes hand in hand with the Mindbender Icon Mindbender variant, and which one you use will heavily depend on what the encounter's damage pattern looks like.

The Blaze of Light Icon Blaze of Light points in this build can be flexed into Heaven's Wrath Icon Heaven's Wrath in scenarios where more cooldown reduction on Ultimate Penitence Icon Ultimate Penitence provides significant value.

Be sure to make use of the 'Copy Export String' button to import the build directly into your game!

Mindbender Raid Build for Discipline Priest

This build is the alternative build for raiding content. Utilizing the smaller but more frequent windows of Mindbender Icon Mindbender will allow you to cover timings that you would not normally be able to handle due to Shadowfiend's longer cooldown. This build goes hand in hand with the Shadowfiend Icon Shadowfiend variant, and which one you use will heavily depend on what the encounter's damage pattern looks like.

Be sure to make use of the 'Copy Export String' button to import the best build directly into your game!

What talents you run can change based on whether or not you have the Amirdrassil 4pc tier set bonus active. Use the toggle below to tailor the rest of the guide accordingly.
