Discipline Priest PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets (Dragonflight 10.2)
Choosing your gear carefully is important for your Discipline Priest in PvP. We give you a stat priority to help you choose items with the right stats, followed by advice on how to choose the rest of your gear and your trinkets.
This page is part of our Discipline Priest PvP Guide.
Stat Priority for Discipline Priests in PvP
The stat priority for Discipline Priests in PvP is as follows:
- Intellect;
- Versatility;
- Mastery;
- Haste;
- Critical Strike;
Intellect is the best stat in all situations. Versatility is the strongest
secondary stat at all times due to it increasing your damage and healing done
and reducing your damage taken. Though, you want to be around 30% Versatility and not overcap it
since it will start to diminish from there on. Mastery is a flat healing increase to every target with
Atonement. Haste is also an amazing stat as it reduces your
global cooldown, increases your cast and channel speed, reduces the cooldown of
important spells such as
Power Word: Solace, and increases the tick rate
of your DoT.

Recommended Trinkets
Note: it is essential to wear two PvP trinkets. This will greatly increase your Agility and Stamina.
Verdant 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 use this trinket if you are stunned and will die in this stun, or on
any form of CC if one of your teammates will die and you can save them.
Verdant Gladiator's Emblem increases your maximum health when used.
This gives you an additional defensive when you are the target. The significant
health increase will often save your life if you use it when
the enemy team is bursting you down.
Verdant Gladiator's Insignia of Alacrity is a good sustained damage and
healing trinket. It will randomly give you a main stat buff. It is usually a good
default pick when you don't need the Emblem to survive.
Discipline Priest Tier Set
As noted above, acquiring both your 2-set and 4-set bonus is crucial. It is also important to note that ALL tier sets are nerfed by 50% in PvP. Although this nerf is significant, tier sets are still important to acquire to maximize your chances of winning. For Discipline Priest, this is your tier set:
Priest Discipline 10.2 Class Set 2pc —
Smite and
Penance damage increased by 20%, and Smite extends the duration of an active
Atonement by 2 sec. This is a great bonus that increases your damage output and extends Atonement healing
Priest Discipline 10.2 Class Set 4pc —
Smite has a 100% chance to cast an additional time during
Shadow Covenant, dealing Shadow damage. This will increase your damage and healing output.
