Discipline Priests Nerfed in PvP With the Weekly Reset

Starym's Avatar by Starym

It seems Disc was a little too overpowered in Arenas, as Blizzard are taking the nerf bat to the spec. Voidweaver and the base spec are both getting their power reduced, as Void Blast casts a little too quickly. Here are the full details.


With scheduled weekly maintenance in each region, we’re making the following changes to address the power of Voidweaver Discipline in PvP.

Player versus Player

Priest

  • Voidweaver – No Escape now slows enemies by up to 50% in PvP combat (was 70%).
  • Discipline
    • Trinity now reduces the cast time of the affected spells by 10% (was 30%).
    • Divine Procession is now 50% effective in PvP combat.

The current cast time of Void Blast is faster than we feel is reasonable to react to, due to stacking modifiers, so we’re bringing the build more in line with other healers.
