Discipline Priest PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets (Shadowlands / 9.0.5)

The stat priority for Discipline Priests in PvP is as follows:

1. Intellect;
2. Versatility.
3. Haste;
4. Critical Strike;
5. Mastery;

Intellect is the best stat in all situations. Haste is the strongest secondary stat at all times due to it reducing the Global Cooldown on abilities and increasing the tick rate of your Dots. Versatility is also important for increasing your healing and reducing the damage you take.

In general, Discipline Priests do not have a specific cooldown that you need trinkets to line up with. As a result, your trinkets can have a passive or on-use effect. The stat you want to be increasing is Intellect. The reason you want to increase Intellect is because it drastically increases your overall healing and damage output. Here is the best gear we recommend you using as a Discipline Priest.

• Head: Sinful Gladiator's Silk Guise
• Neck: Sinful Gladiator's Necklace
• Shoulders: Sinful Gladiator's Silk Mantle
• Cloak: Sinful Gladiator's Drape
• Chest: Sinful Gladiator's Silk Robe
• Wrists: Sinful Gladiator's Silk Armbands
• Hands: Sinful Gladiator's Silk Gloves
• Waist: Sinful Gladiator's Silk Cord
• Legs: Sinful Gladiator's Silk Leggings
• Feet: Sinful Gladiator's Silk Treads
• Ring 1: Sinful Gladiator's Ring
• Ring 2: Stitchflesh's Misplaced Signet
• Weapon: Sinful Gladiator's Torch Staff

Note: It is important to be wearing 2 PvP trinkets. This will give you a Versatility boost that will increase your damage and healing.

Sinful Gladiator's Medallion is a mandatory trinket to have equipped at all times. This allows you to remove any crowd control on yourself. You will normally use this when you are stuck in crowd control and a teammate is at low health. Note, if you play a Human and are playing against a team with only stuns, Sinful Gladiator's Relentless Brooch is a better option.

Sinful Gladiator's Badge of Ferocity gives you Haste and has a 1-minute cooldown that increases your primary stat. This is great to use right before you activate a powerful cooldown.

Sinful Gladiator's Emblem increases your maximum health when used. This gives you an additional defensive when you think a team will be focusing you.

Sinful Gladiator's Insignia of Alacrity increases your Haste and has a chance to proc your primary stat. This is an overall strong trinket, as the stat will proc often throughout an arena match.
