Discipline Priest PvP Guide (Dragonflight 10.0.7)
This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to play in a PvP environment. The guide will cover everything from talent choices, PvP talents, gameplay and rotation, and useful racial bonuses. It is most applicable to Arena content, but most talents and racial bonuses will work in Rated Battlegrounds and skirmishes.

Discipline Priests in the Current Meta
Discipline Priests are one of a kind. In order to heal their team
effectively they need to combine traditional healing and absorption spells,
and damaging spells on the enemy to heal through 
Atonement. That
makes Discipline Priests excellent offensive healers able to support their
DPS with damage while healing with it. They also bring an offensive purge to the
team for even more offensive pressure. However they are not very mobile
and run out of Mana quickly.
Dragonflight Patch 10.0.7
This patch did not change much for Discipline Priests. The mana cost of
Dispel Magic got slightly increased.
Strengths of Discipline Priests
- Powerful defensive abilities
- Significant damage
- Offensive purge
- Decent utility
Weaknesses of Discipline Priests
- Very little mobility
- High Mana consumption when hard-casting heals
- Reliant on teammates to land CC
