Discipline Priest Frequently Asked Questions — The War Within (11.1.5)

Our current recommendation is to utilize Voidweaver as a default choice in Mythic Plus content and Oracle as a default in Raiding content. Oracle, however, is a very strong option for higher keys or keys where you desire significantly more single target healing. It does come at the cost of being more complicated to play and doing significantly less damage.

Our 2 piece is overall fairly solid, but our 4 piece set bonus falls quite short.

As of patch 11.1, multiple applications of Lenience from different players do not stack.

Divine Procession will extend the Atonement with the lowest duration left within 60 yards range. When there are multiple Atonements with the same duration (Applied by Power Word: Radiance for example) it will pick a random one.

Purge the Wicked has been removed and Shadow Word: Pain has been brought up in power to compensate for it. Additionally there are two new talents in Encroaching Shadows and Revel in Darkness that replace the previous DoT spread functionality of Purge the Wicked. The Main difference is that Shadow Word: pain is a shadow spell and that its duration is lower than Purge the Wicked unless you talent into Pain and Suffering .

While playing Power Word: Life with Miraculous Recovery is an option, our main goal is to dodge the alternative talent in Waste No Time due to it front loading your GCD by making Power Word: Radiance an instant cast and losing you one GCD worth of Atonement duration. On top of that you are also rarely ever casting Premonition before your Power Word: Radiance casts in a ramp.

The following spells will create an absorb when they critically strike while talented into Divine Aegis: Flash Heal, Power Word: Radiance, Penance (cast on an ally or triggered by Twinsight or Ultimate Penitence), Power Word: Life, and Evangelism.

In dungeons you can use Evangelism for a large AoE heal or as a massive Single-Target heal. However controlling who gets healed can be difficult. In raids with the heal splitting across all allies it's not worth changing your timing for.

The jump range of Power Word: Radiance does not get increased by Phantom Reach, however it has been changed to 40 yards (from 30 yards) in Patch 11.1.

Binding Heal causes Flash Heal to apply Atonement to both your target and yourself. This means that you can get 2 Atonement applications for a single GCD, and you should avoid applying Atonement to yourself earlier in the ramp if possible.

Regardless of where you use your Power Word: Shields, you cannot get three casts within 10 single target Atonements. As a result, the optimal use is to cast Power Word: Shield at the end of the ramp to make use of the Words of the Pious talent.

The new Blasphemite gems gain increased value per unique color of gem equipped. The recommended gemming strategy is in place to prioritize both the stats we desire in addition to activating the Blasphemite as much as we can.

There is NO LOSS IN HEALING when hitting more than one target for both Entropic Rift and Collapsing Void.

Entropic Rift deals the same damage to all targets hit but only heals via Atonement off a single damage target. Collapsing Void is an even split amongst all targets hit, however each hit creates an atonement event.

No. External damage effects (not within Discipline's spellbook) provide no healing benefit at all.

No. The damage reflected does not contribute to Atonement in any way.
