Discipline Priest PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets — Midnight Season 1

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

1. Intellect
2. Versatility
3. Mastery
4. Haste
5. 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. 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, and increases the tick rate of your DoT spells.

Note: If you plan on playing the more damage-focused build with Voidweaver Hero talents, you want to focus on Versatility & Haste as your primary stats.

In general, Discipline Priests want to get trinkets that increase their overall healing output. These trinkets can have a passive or on-use effect. The stat you want to be increasing is Versatility and either Mastery or Haste, depending on which Hero Talent tree you are playing. You want to use PvP items as much as possible since they have increased item level in PvP combat. This is what your final gear should look like, including set pieces and crafted items:

• Head: Blind Oath's Winged Crest
• Neck: Thalassian Competitor's Amulet - Crafted with Versatility & Mastery
• Shoulders: Blind Oath's Wraps
• Cloak: Galactic Gladiator's Shawl
• Chest: Blind Oath's Raiment
• Wrists: Galactic Gladiator's Silk Armbands

As noted above, acquiring both your 2-set and 4-set bonus is crucial. It is important to note that ALL tier sets are nerfed to 33% effectiveness in PvP. Although this nerf is significant, tier sets are still important to acquire to maximize your chances to win. For Discipline Priests, this is your tier set:

• 2-set: Flash Heal, Shadow Mend, and Power Word: Radiance healing increased by 25%.
• 4-set: Atonements applied by Flash Heal and Power Word: Radiance last an addition 3 seconds.

Embellishments are bonuses that can be put on crafted gear. These affects can have a drastic impact on the game. You are only allowed to have 2 Embellishments equipped at the same time. Here are the recommended Embellishments for Discipline Priest:

• Blessed Pango Charm gives your healing spells a chance to grant Versatility to your target. This is great for increasing the survivability of your team. Craft this on both rings or a ring and a neck.

Here are the best enchants and gems for a Discipline Priest:
