For more information about what Covenants bring you, please refer to our page about Covenant abilities for Priests.
It is important to choose the correct Covenant, as it has many impacts on your gameplay. Your Covenant will give you both a Covenant ability and a class ability. The next choice you have will be Soulbinds and Conduits. All of these are Covenant-specific and they are different based on which you choose. Here are the best Covenants for Discipline Priest.
- Venthyr is the best Covenant option. This gives you more
mobility and a strong offensive cooldown,
Mindgames. Your Soulbind options are also much better than all of the other Covenants.
- Night Fae is another great option for Discipline Priests. This
Covenant gives you a fantastic spell,
Fae Guardians. This has several different affects that will change the way you play. You also gain more mobility from
Soulshape that can help you land
Psychic Scream more easily.
- Kyrian is another good Covenant you can choose. This gives you
a strong 3-minute cooldown,
Boon of the Ascended, and a very powerful defensive,
Phial of Serenity.

Best Conduits for Discipline Priests in PvP
Conduits are passive buffs that you can use to fill empty slots in your Soulbind Trees. There are three types of Conduits: Potency, Endurance, and Finesse. Here are the best Conduits for each of those different types:
Best Potency Conduits for Discipline Priests in PvP
Shining Radiance is the best Potency Conduit. This increases the healing of
Power Word: Radiance, allowing you to recover much easier when your team is taking damage.
- If you are Venthyr,
Shattered Perceptions is the next best Potency Conduit. This makes your already strong Covenant ability,
Mindgames, last longer and do more damage.
Pain Transformation makes your
Pain Suppression instantly heal the target based off of their max health. This is great for keeping your team alive.
Swift Penitence increases the damage or healing of your first bolt of
Penance. This is great for increasing both your damage and healing output.
Best Endurance Conduits for Discipline Priests in PvP
Translucent Image. The damage reduction from this Conduit will help versus teams that focus you and this gives you an additional defensive.
Charitable Soul is another solid choice. This makes it so
Power Word: Shield heals you when you use it on an ally.
Best Finesse Conduits for Discipline Priests in PvP
Mental Recovery is the best Finesse Conduit, as Discipline Priests lack a slow. This can help with slowing enemies, allowing you to kite away from them if you need to.
Power Unto Others is also a good option. This will reduce the cooldown of your
Power Infusion if you use it on an ally. This works well with the
Twins of the Sun Priestess Legendary.
Best Legendaries for Discipline Priests in PvP
Legendaries have many different effects and some can alter how you should use some of your abilities. For more information on Legendaries, check out our general guide on them.
Here are the best Legendaries for a Discipline Priest.
Sephuz's Proclamation is the best legendary that will find play. This reduces the duration of incoming crowd control and increases your secondary stats. The effect does only occur once every 30 seconds, however.
Crystalline Reflection is another good Legendary you can get. This makes it so that
Power Word: Shield instantly heals the target and reflects some of the damage that was absorbed. This is great for increasing your overall healing and damage output.
Twins of the Sun Priestess is another Legendary that can be used. This makes it so when you use
Power Infusion on a teammate, it gets used on yourself as well. This should be used if your team is relying heavily on setups and you do not have much time to deal damage while the enemy healer is in crowd control.
Vault of Heavens is a defensive Legendary that should be used when playing against a team that will focus you. This makes it so
Leap of Faith grips you to the target, rather than gripping them to you.
In addition to these Legendaries, the Unity power allows players to also
equip their Covenant Legendary. As a Discipline Priest, you have a few different
options as far as which Covenant you should be playing. Here are the Covenant
powers you will be accessing:
- Venthyr:
Shadow Word: Manipulation;
- Night Fae:
Bwonsamdi's Pact;
- Kyrian:
Spheres' Harmony.
