Discipline Priest PvP Best Arena Compositions (Shadowlands / 9.2)
Team composition in 2v2 or 3v3 Arena is very important, because not all classes work well together. Here, we give you the best compositions you can have for your Discipline Priest (i.e., the best classes to pair with it).
This page is part of our Discipline Priest PvP Guide.
2v2 Arena
In 2v2 Arena, you want to deal as much damage as you can when your DPS
partner is using their burst rotation. Maintain Purge the Wicked on all
enemies, including pets. Use
Penance as soon as it is off cooldown.
Use
Dark Archangel when your partner is using their burst rotation for a
large amount of damage. Have your teammate stun or slow the enemy healer so you
can easily get a
Psychic Scream on them. It is important to note that
Discipline Priests are the only healer with multiple casting schools. What this
means, is if you get interrupted while casting
Shadow Mend, you can
still use
Power Word: Radiance or
Power Word: Shield.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 2v2:
- Discipline Priest + Assassination/Subtlety Rogue;
- Discipline Priest + Arms Warrior;
- Discipline Priest + Havoc Demon Hunter;
- Discipline Priest + Windwalker Monk;
- Discipline Priest + Fire Mage.
3v3 Arena
Your role in 3v3 is similar to 2v2 Arena. You want to always be damaging
to maintain pressure on the enemy team. Discipline Priests struggle when they
fall behind, so you always want to stay ahead. Maintain and refresh your
Purge the Wicked. Try to utilize
Mind Control. If you are
interrupted while channeling it, you can still cast your Holy spells. Remember
to take advantage of having more than one casting school. There will be some
match ups where you cannot cross the map to use
Psychic Scream on the
enemy healer. In those situations, use
Psychic Scream on whichever DPS
your team is not targeting.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 3v3:
- RMP (Discipline Priest + Assassination/Subtlety Rogue + Fire Mage);
- Jungle(Discipline Priest + Feral Druid + Survival Hunter);
- Cupid (Discipline Priest + Retribution Paladin + Survival Hunter);
