Discipline Priest PvP Best Races and Racials (Dragonflight / 10.0.7)

1. Night Elf
2. Human

Night Elf is the best race on Alliance. The active racial ability, Shadowmeld can be used to immune incoming crowd control or to immune a dangerous cast with proper timing. You can also use it to leave combat in case you need an emergency drink to replenish your Mana. Being a Night Elf also provides you with two noteworthy passive abilities: Quickness, which grants you 2% extra movement speed and 2% dodge chance, and Touch of Elune, that increases either your Haste or Critical Strike by 1% depending on whether it is night or day.

Human is the second-best race on Alliance. The active racial ability, Will to Survive allows you to break free of a stun once every 3 minutes. This provides you with a different way out of CC to save either yourself or your team. As a healer, you will most likely always be in CC when the enemy team goes for a kill, so being able to get out of CC more often is very strong. The passive racial ability, The Human Spirit, increases all secondary stats by a small amount.

1. Undead
2. Pandaren

Undead is the best race on Horde. The active racial ability, Will of the Forsaken allows you to break free of a fear effect once every two minutes. It is potent as it can act as a second trinket against Warlocks, Warriors or other Priests. Being an Undead also grants you the passive abilities Shadow Resistance, reducing Shadow damage taken by 1%, and Touch of the Grave, sometimes dealing a small amount of Shadow damage to your target and healing you for the same amount.

Pandaren is the second-best race on Horde. The active racial ability, Quaking Palm allows you to incapacitate a target for 4s. As Discipline Priest, you do not have any CC that shares Diminishing Returns with Quaking Palm. Therefore you can use it to secure a Psychic Scream. It can also be used defensively when you are silenced. You can also use a food buff in rated PvP.
