Season of Discovery Discipline Priest Healer Guide
Welcome to our Discipline Priest Healer guide for WoW Classic - Season of Discovery, tailored for PvE content. Here, you will learn how to play the Priest class as a Discipline Priest Healer. Click the links below to navigate the guide or read this page for a short introduction.
Overview
Master of both the Void and the Light, Discipline Priest offers you a ton of different ways to play one of World of Warcrafts most iconic healers. Discipline Priest excels in not only group healing, but is one of the best single target healers as well. Priest is widely regarded as the most universal healer as its massive toolkit allows you to react to almost any healing related situation as long as you have a comfortable knowledge of your abilities and how they function. Discipline Priest also provides the massively important Power Word: Fortitude and Prayer of Shadow Protection buffs.
While certainly benefiting from being in a party, finding groups as a healing Priest is likely never to be an issue. Their massive healing output, powerful buffs and countless emergency buttons will make you extremely valuable not only for dungeons and raids, but also any PvP Content be that Battlegrounds or open world combat.
- Powerful combination of both single target and group healing
- Scales incredibly well with gear
- Powerful buffs
- Extremely Mana dependent
- Limited soloing capabilities
- Vulnerable to crowd control/slowing effects

Professions
Professions have always been a big part of Classic WoW but are made even more important in Season of Discovery with the addition of many new recipes.
Engineering provides tons of situationally useful goodies that will help you in combat both in PvP and PvE either to deal more damage or sometimes even a niche defensive cool down to mitigate or even entirely avoid incoming damage or crowd control.
Tailoring now provides even more great gear with the new recipes found in Season of Discovery. Many of the new Epic crafted items are Bind on Pickup so you will need the respective profession to use the items.
