Discipline Priest Midnight Stats, Races and Consumables Guide

Stat Ranking

Item level is by far the biggest upgrade, especially early in the tier, as it increases your Intellect. After that, you can balance it out by following this priority:

Haste > Crit >= Mastery > Versatility

Stat Outline

Haste: Increases casting speed, reduces the Global Cooldown and the cooldowns of Penance, Mind Blast and Power Word: Shield. This stat is significantly more important for Voidweaver since it relies so heavily on Mind Blast.

Mastery: Provides more throughput on targets with Atonement. It is a very strong stat for HPS but does not increase your damage at all.

Critical Strike: This stat has interactions with talents like Divine Aegis and is simply a stat the spec scales well with. Crit has the advantage over Mastery that it also amplifies your DPS.

Versatility: Sadly your worst stat, but still important if you want to push high keystones and need the extra survivability.

Dracthyr is the strongest option for both Alliance and Horde. It provides improved movement, which Priests always need, and adds extra crowd control.

Alternatives:

• Horde: Goblin for the extra mobility from Rocket Jump.
• Alliance: Void Elf for the extra mobility from Spatial Rift.

Healing and damage output will be very similar across all races, so the utility is what really sets them apart.

On progress encounters where you’re in danger of getting one shot you would want to default to avoidance. Avoidance will make it safer to take big hits, while leech will help you get topped faster and provide a bit of extra throughput.

Weapon: Enchant Weapon - Acuity Of The Ren'dorei

Head: Enchant Helm - Hex Of Leeching / Enchant Helm - Rune Of Avoidance

Chest: Enchant Chest - Mark Of The Worldsoul / Enchant Chest - Mark Of The Magister (Extra Mana)

Shoulder: Enchant Shoulders - Silvermoon's Mending / Enchant Shoulders - Amirdrassil's Grace

Legs: Arcanoweave Spellthread

Boots: Enchant Boots - Lynx's Dexterity / Enchant Boots - Shaladrassil's Roots

Rings: Enchant Ring - Silvermoon's Alacrity - Ring enchants will be dependent on the content you do and on the rest of your gear. They are good for balancing out your stats.

Unique Gem: Telluric Eversong Diamond. The extra mana can come in handy on longer fights.

After that you should follow your stat weights but here are some options:

• Flawless Deadly Peridot
• Flawless Masterful Peridot
• Flawless Quick Amethyst
• Flawless Quick Garnet

Health Potion: Silvermoon Health Potion

Flask: Flask Of The Blood Knights

Food: Feasts / Royal Roast

Weapon Oil: Thalassian Phoenix Oil

Augment Rune: Void-Touched Augment Rune

Mana Potion: Lightfused Mana Potion (Instant Mana Potion) or Potion Of Devoured Dreams (Channeled Mana Potion)

Potion Of Devoured Dreams provides more mana than an instant potion, but it can be hard to find a window to fully channel it during high-movement fights. If you don’t need the extra mana, you can also use Potion Of Recklessness for more healing and damage.
