BiS List for Discipline Priest
This list contains the best gear you can get on an individual slot basis. Keep in mind that tertiaries and other factors can influence the overall picture.
Great Vault items from Mythic+ are not listed here, as they are not targetable due to the RNG nature of the Vault. Mythic+ items are included at the maximum item level you can upgrade them to.

Mythic+ Gear BiS List for Discipline Priest
This list contains the best gear possible from only Mythic+ and the creation catalyst. This is a great place to start on a relatively new character, as you can infinitely grind out these items from Mythic+. This list is not, however, the optimal setup overall as that will involve items from multiple sources.

Trinkets for Discipline Priests
The ranking system is as follows:
- S Tier: The strongest and most generally useful trinkets; these are always good choices.
- A Tier: These trinkets are slightly weaker than the S Tier traits, but are still solid choices.
Due to the large number of trinkets available, if you can not find a trinket in the list below it is safe to assume said trinket is worse than the available options on this list.
S Tier
Rashok's Molten Heart from Rashok in Aberrus
Whispering Incarnate Icon from Primal Council in Vault of the Incarnates
Ominous Chromatic Essence from Forgotten Experiments in Aberrus
A Tier
Pip's Emerald Friendship Badge from Council of Dreams in Amirdrassil.
Neltharion's Call to Suffering from Echo of Neltharion in Aberrus
Screaming Black Dragonscale from Kazzara in Aberrus
Broodkeeper's Promise from Broodkeeper in Vault of the Incarnates
Ashes of the Embersoul from Smolderon in Amirdrassil (Situationally when your
Evangelism is used on a 2 minute cycle)
DPS Trinkets
In some cases, specifically Mythic Plus content most often, Discipline Priest players will look towards utilizing DPS trinkets to push their overall DPS contribution further. Damage from DPS Trinkets DOES NOT contribute to healing and is utilized strictly for DPS purposes only. It is highly recommended to make sure you are comfortable with the healing requirements of the dungeons you are attempting first before considering equipping any DPS trinkets.
Crafted Gear and Embellishments for Discipline Priests
Embellishments
Embellishments are special effects that are either found on crafted pieces by default or can be added to crafted pieces during the crafting process. A character can have two embellishments equipped at any time. The following are the embellishments we recommend you utilize:
Allied Wristguards of Time Dilation - This is a solid Embellishment if you are looking for the highest overall contribution after early tier when low on sockets. This will eventually be outvalued by Elemental Lariat at high socket counts, but will provide a larger bonus at the beginning of the tier.
Elemental Lariat - Elemental Lariat is an overall solid embellishment which will get stronger as you gain more sockets in your gear.
Crafting Strategy
When your sparks are limited at the beginning of the
tier, we recommend being very careful how you spend them. Our current
recommendation is to use your first Spark to craft either Allied Wristguards of Time Dilation or
Elemental Lariat, depending on what other gear you have available.
For your second spark, we recommend crafting whatever one between Lariat and Allied Wristguards you did not craft first.
>If you have 2 embellishments crafted, utilizing your sparks on any gear slot that is a lower item level, or you have not had good luck with is a valuable use of excess Sparks.
Unique Items
Voice of the Silent Star provides a very small bonus at the cost of a large amount of stamina. As a result we do not recommend utilizing this cloak anywhere that could be considered hard/dangerous content.
Other Sockets in Dragonflight
In Dragonflight, only your Helm, Rings, Necks, Bracers, and Belts can have a socket on them. When a piece of gear in that slot drops, there is a chance for it to already have a socket in it.
