Discipline Priest Gearing Guide

The War Within Season 3 Discipline Priest Tier Set:

The war within season 3 comes with two different tier set bonuses one for each hero talent tree, below are the two tier sets listed.

Voidweaver tier set:

• (2) Set Bonus: Void Blast and Penance damage is increased by 30% and Void Blast's cast time is reduced by 20%.
• (4) Set Bonus: Void Blast now also causes Entropic Rift to grow, Collapsing Void increases Entropic Rift's damage by an additional 10%, and the damage of your next Mind Blast is increased by up to 300% based on the size of Entropic Rift when it collapses.

Oracle tier set:

• (2) Set Bonus: The first bolt of each Penance cast damages or heals for 200% more
• (4) Set Bonus: Casting Premonition of Piety or Premonition of Solace grants 2 stacks of Premonition of Insight at 100% effectiveness. Consuming a stack of Premonition of Insight increases your Haste by 1.0% for 10 sec. Multiple applications may overlap.

Both of these tier sets are quite strong with the Oracle tier set being slightly better, it allows you to make a lot better mini ramps around every single charge of premonition and otherwise its a good passive modifier to penance. The voidweaver set wont see a lot of play as oracle looks like the better hero talent going into the tier, but it is quite good modifiers to already hard hitting abilities.

Unfortunately healers do not have the same amount of access to running sims for your character as both tanks and dps have, I would recommend that you always prioritize equipping the highest item level gear in your slots, and try to target pieces with haste. Below are some recommendations to help you target the right loot pieces from different content.

• Overall
• Raiding
• Mythic+

This season most of our good trinket options come from mythic+ and not raid, there are a few ok passive options in the raid, but the main trinket that is important to get for us is the Lily of the Eternal Weave trinket as it's the only trinket that lines up with Evangelism this season. The other trinkets that have been listed are all different passive trinket options that are very similar in strength

Lily of the Eternal Weave - This trinket drops from the dungeon Eco-Dome Al’Dani. It is our only and best option for an on use to consistently pair up with evangelism. Unfortunately it has a fairly low stat budget but it is still our best option for the season. It’s highly recommended to farm this trinket as one of your first options as the other ones are all fairly interchangeable.

Azhiccaran Parapodia - This trinket drops from the dungeon Eco-Dome Al’Dani. It is our strongest option for a passive trinket and also has the benefit of dropping from the same dungeon as our best on use option for the season. Therefore this is highly recommended to farm at the beginning of the season.

Diamantine Voidcore - This trinket drops from the raid boss Fractillus. It is our best option for a passive trinket from the raid, but it doesn't have a large amount of power without being paired with the effect weapons that buff it, as its unlikely you will obtain both of these things at the start of the season we don't recommend using this trinket initially but it could be a good option later down the line.

Ara-Kara Sacbrood - This trinket drops from the dungeon Ara-Kara, City of Echoes. It is a strong option for a passive trinket and is really easy to secure from m0 early on in the patch as it is our only drop from the first boss of the instance and it is therefore likely you will see a lot of people wearing this trinket early on.

Astral Antenna - This trinket drops from the raid boss Loom’ithar. It is an ok passive trinket, it gives us one of our good stats but the budget on it just isn't the highest, you're happy to play this trinket but you should be looking to replace it down the line.

Currently our best embellishment looks to be the Darkmoon Sigils, specifically Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension looks to be performing the best, this embellishment can only be put on main hand and offhand, we’d recommend for most Discipline Priests to craft this early on, unless you loot a very strong mythic weapon in one of your first raids, as you’d then miss out on a potential early power spike.

If crafting a weapon doesn't seem good for your character we recommend crafting either the Woven Dusk or Woven Dawn sets as they provide a valuable bonus, do keep in mind that this requires you to commit both of your sparks to gain value from it, so this is not worth it if you only want to spend 1 spark on an armor slot.

Reshii Wraps

Reshii Wraps is a new Cloak released in Patch 11.2 and will be the only cloak you use (and the only one that can drop from any content in Season 3). You gain access to it via a quest chain and completing chapter 3 of the main patch storyline.

The Reshii Wraps are upgradable via Ethereal Strands and can have secondary stats of your choice added to it.

To add a secondary stat to the Reshii Wraps you use a Fiber in the Fiber Socket of the Cloak. The highest quality version of the Fibers requires a work-order to a Tailor.

When picking a Fiber, I strongly recommend simming your character for the best stat for your current gear and intended content. If you just want a quick recommendation for which Reshii Fiber to use, then use Pure Chronomantic Fiber (Haste).

Best D.I.S.C Belt & Miniature Titan Disc Effects

For Discipline priest in patch 11.1.7 we recommend using the Miniature Titan Disc Effect for the belt depending on which hero talent you have currently selected.

For the Oracle hero talent tree we recommend the effect Critical Chain as a proc of critical strike is the most impactful stat you can get randomly at any given point.

Likewise for the Voidweaver hero talent tree we recommend the effect Spark Burst as this hero talent scales better with random procs of haste, and worse with random procs of critical strike than the Oracle hero talent tree do.
