Discipline Priest Healing Vault of the Incarnates Raid Guide — Dragonflight 10.1

On this page, you will find Discipline Priest specific information to deal with each boss in the Vault of the Incarnates 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

These talents are the default recommendations for any boss that does not contain specific requirements. Specific adjustments can be found on a boss per boss basis in the sections below.

Please note that while this raid guide provides example ramp timers on all bosses, these ramp timers should be taken as general guidelines and not absolute requirements. Some bosses have variable timers based on your groups DPS and some groups may expect you to use your cooldowns in different locations to compensate for your specific healer composition.

Moving a point into Improved Mass Dispel is very valuable on this encounter on Mythic difficulty.

Many strategies involve most of your raid baiting Shattering Impact to fall in a specific location. As a ranged player, you are not a valid target for this ability and therefore don't need to be involved in this process, allowing you to better position for the following mechanics.

If you are attempting to ramp during a Rock Blast for a subsequent Concussive Slam and get targeted by Awakened Earth, not all pillars need to be dropped within the Rock Blast circle itself as long as they end up in a line. Feel free to stand behind the soak circle to make movement slightly easier while ramping.

The following buffs or debuffs should be visible on your raid frames for this encounter:

Name	Type	Spell ID
Awakened Earth	Debuff	381315
Rock Blast	Debuff	380487

Due to wanting to be healing during Primal Blizzard, ensure you are near a pool of fire before the blizzard starts so that as you are getting pulled in, you can side step into the fire during a penance cast and then go right back to casting your hard casted spells. Poor positioning in advance to Primal Blizzard will result in needing to run around during the Blizzard to clear your stacks, drastically cutting down on your potential output during these windows.

If someone in your raid fails to clear their stacks during Primal Blizzard and gets frozen, you can Leap of Faith them through or into the fire on the ground to instantly break the ice block.

The following buffs or debuffs should be visible on your raid frames for this encounter:

Name	Type	Spell ID
Primal Blizzard	Debuff	371836
Conductive Mark	Debuff	371624
Meteor Axes	Debuff	374039

The following timers should be enabled in your Bigwigs or DBM addon for this encounter:

Timer	Ability Name	Ramp to Use
0:17	Chilling Blast	Evangelism Ramp
0:55	Chilling Blast	Rapture Ramp
1:44	Chilling Blast	Evangelism Ramp

The talent Phantasm is extremely valuable on this fight as it can be used to remove stacks of Sticky Webbing. This allows you to utilize the webs often for Gossamer Burst without needing to worry about clearing your stacks to prevent the slow or becoming Wrapped in Webs.

The following buffs or debuffs should be visible on your raid frames for this encounter:

Name	Type	Spell ID
Wrapped in Webs	Debuff	372044

The following timers should be enabled in your Bigwigs or DBM addon for this encounter:

Timer	Ability Name	Ramp to Use

1:25	Blowback	Rapture Ramp
2:10	Cyclone	Evangelism Ramp
2:55	Blowback	Rapture Ramp
3:41	Cyclone	Evangelism Ramp

6:42	Cyclone	Evangelism Ramp
7:27	Blowback	Rapture Ramp
8:13	Cyclone	Evangelism Ramp
8:58	Blowback	Rapture Ramp

When ramping for Cyclone, there will be a point during the mechanic where you can't be casting anymore and are just stuck running away. To ensure you can get the most number of casts off before that is the case, be as far away from the boss as you can when the Cyclone starts. If your raid strategy doesn't include the usage of a Warlock gateway anywhere else, you can ask for a gateway to be placed from near the boss to the edge of the room and use it during Cyclone to get a few more casts off if needed.

The following buffs or debuffs should be visible on your raid frames for this encounter:

Some of the timers in this chart are less specific due to the variable potential of the boss as you can choose which order to do the phases. As such, if these example timers are not working out for you due to the order your guild/group has chosen, you may need to make adjustments.

Both Icy Shroud and Frozen Shroud can be dispelled, so heavy use of Mass Dispel can be very powerful here if you can manage the additional mana expenditure as dispelling these debuffs instead of healing through them will drastically cut down on the healing requirement of the encounter.

The following buffs or debuffs should be visible on your raid frames for this encounter:

Name	Type	Spell ID
Frozen Shroud	Debuff	388920
Icy Shroud	Debuff	388717

10:28	Magnetic Charge	Rapture Ramp

Throughout the encounter, Volatile Current leaves behind sparks that need to be removed by being Crowd Controlled or dispelled. We have multiple ways to assist removing these if necessary in Mass Dispel and Psychic Scream.

During Phase 2, Fulminating Charge (on Heroic and lower) applies a slow to the people with the debuff. By utilizing Fade while talented into Phantasm you can remove the slow, making it significantly easier to move the debuff out of the group.

The following buffs or debuffs should be visible on your raid frames for this encounter:

Name	Type	Spell ID
Static Charge	Debuff	381615
