General Information
On this page, we explain what the best statistics are for Discipline Priests in World of Warcraft Legion 7.3.5, how the class benefits from each of them.
The statistics priority is important as it influences itemisation choices (gear, enchants, and gems).
The other pages of our Discipline Priest guide can be accessed from the table of contents on the right.
About Our Reviewer
This guide has been reviewed and approved by Mend, admin and editor at Focused Will (Discord and Blog for healing Priests). You can also follow Mend on Twitter.
1. Basics
We currently propose the following statistic priority for Discipline Priests.
- Intellect;
- Haste;
- Critical Strike;
- Mastery;
- Versatility.
Note that if you are using the 
Drape of Shame cloak, the stat priority
above holds true, whereas if you do not have it, Mastery will be better than
Critical Strike, although the two stats will be very close (for Mythic
raiding).
2. Getting a Better Understanding of Discipline Priest Stats
Intellect is your primary stat. You should look for this stat in all of your upgrades. It provides you with Spell Power, which increases the power of your heals.
Haste reduces the cast time of your spells, reduces the cooldown of
Power Word: Shield and 
Power Word: Solace, and also reduces your global cooldown. Moreover, it
increases the amount of attacks your 
Mindbender can make,
and the number of ticks from
Shadow Word: Pain/
Purge the Wicked.
Critical Strike grants your damaging spells and heals a chance to
double their value. That said, it is worth noting that it does not double-dip
with regards to 
Atonement healing (Atonement heals cannot be critical
hits; they only heal for the amount of damage that was done, which is the only
portion that can be a critical strike).
Mastery ( Mastery: Absolution) increases your Atonement
healing, but it has no effect on your normal healing and on your absorbs. This
means that actually, Mastery is below Versatility in terms of value in
situations where you use non-Atonement heals more often (such as dungeon
content).
Versatility increases all your damage and healing done, and decreases all damage taken.
