I barely ever have use disc, and i haven't really in cata yet but i do think you have good points. Thx 4 giving everyone your prospective ;) keep uploading!
My guild didn't have any healers, so I had to go do halls of origin heroic with them with 330 i level and 900 spirit... Changed to disc and got to about 1600 spirit (plus trinket that increases my spirit by around 1700 on crit) and looking great! Loved your video =)
WOW thanks!!! I just got my priest to 85 and decided to go Disc..my main is a HPally and Im soo use to just topping people off but i was having a majorrrr problem on my priest because im so use to that. So TY!!! I dont have to really worry about people as much anymore
I just respeced to Disc from Holy and I totally sucked healing my first reg instance. Lol. I found your vid very useful and just from a quick couple talent changes, shifting around my hotkeys, without even stepping into another dungeon I can tell I'm better already. Just have to adjust some glyphs (which you didn't go over, maybe next time?) and get better gear and I think I'm set. So thank you!! I never needed to watch tutorials before but Disc was confusing.
@Fissick I've noticed the same thing. On fights with any amount of AoE the tank pulls ahead of the DPS right now. The DPS usually do from 7-8k depending on the fight.
@filmting05 If the cooldowns are both up, this is a great idea. Probably more viable for raids because of the longer fights where you'll hopefully see their cooldowns align more often.
@Infernius I have to make a conscious effort to use it twice, otherwise I only use it once. This is something I am trying to improve because most fights do last over 4 minutes right now.
i say this because i'm pretty sure your mana income in the future will require evangelism for 5% mana and rapture for 3.5% every 12 seconds. with 60k, 70k mana, the return from evangelism and rapture will mostly just cover the damage you did with smite, and the cost of the shield, but i know for sure that when you get your mana above the 100k, those talents will be absolutely marvelous.
Really enjoyed the video good work :) I'm interested in your personal opinion, I noticed you have taken Veiled Shadows for the reduced CD on your pet, bringing it down to 4 minutes, do you find you're able to use the pet twice in these encounters currently? I am currently specced the exact same way however I take Surge of Light which of course generates a 6% chance when using heal to grant a free instant cast Flash Heal which is great at times! what are your views? Thanks :)
@flanders899 I am actually switching the Blood of Isiset trinket, which procs Spirit like my other trinket but gives 285 mastery. The Gale of Shadows would be better if I was Holy and used Renew more.
I been disc healing and a lot of people tell me that atonement with evangelism and archangel is a good way to go, I have tried it but I don't know if its better than heal. Please reply if you have any tips
@hockey9bomber Inner Will increases mana efficiency. That's what I need foremost right now. The slightly bigger heals from Inner Fire aren't worth it for me at the moment.
i'd pick veiled shadows back in 4.0.1 since it actually were 2 min reduction and 5% mana each attack, but it's not that worth having now.. if you do things right you will save mana without depending on your pet. the other thing i think you didn't talk about was rapture. gladly you have it, but just like i do, i'd suggest getting an addon to track rapture's cooldown.
i guess as u said, archangel/evangelism is pretty situational, but atm we're dealing with heroics where we must aoe spam heal at times, and in a raid u have other healers to do such, giving u time to smite the boss and (if u had atonement) heal tank at same time. i honestly think you'll find your build slightly unecessary for raiding, but i guess it's ok for dungeons.
@aesalon5401 Disc is a good single target healer, but judging from the top guilds in the world, they "should" be able to do everything including extremely good raid heals. So it would be more accurate to say "they CAN single target in raids" rather than "they SHOULD single target in raids". As for AA+Ev+Atonement and Train of Thought, I simply wasn't smiting in dungeons and therefore I took the point in Veiled Shadows to get SFiend out faster, less drinking needed.
it was a nice video actually, i totally agree on getting train of thought as you'll notice inner focus can be used far more often that if you hadn't, and same applies to penance. it's a very good talent for single target healing, like a disc should do in raids. i disagree u getting inner sanctum tho, it's pretty rubbish regardless of what it gives, you'd benefit alot more in having atonement, if you actually want train of thought worth having.
@ deadlyzin101 - Well I heard that disc is better once you have the gear, not sure :\. But what I do know is that you need at least 2k spirit to heal heroics, read it on the battle.net priest class forum.
i couldnt really see your recount... how much dps is your guild doing ... at least when i run randoms i always get super high dps tanks and dps around 6k and it seems like heroic trash and bosses take ages to kill thus making mana management even more difficult
@rustymetalblade Unfortunately you seem to have a poor understanding of the discipline priest spec. It is unclear from even the most skilled priests in the best guilds whether or not Ev+AA+Atonement is important or not, at best its been situationally useful on certain fights. As for "laughing your ass off" at my taking of a mana regeneration talent over throughput talents, I would again say it is unfortunate that you lack the capacity to understand this decision for 5 mans.
Awesome guide! Thanks a lot, I just switched to disc.

@TheEllandria You can adjust the range of your zoom in your interface menu at the 'camera distance' if I'm correct.
@Fissick I've noticed the same thing. On fights with any amount of AoE the tank pulls ahead of the DPS right now. The DPS usually do from 7-8k depending on the fight.
Ty..I always try to have everyone's health to the max, but I see that you don't have too and that will help a lot with me mana.
@filmting05 If the cooldowns are both up, this is a great idea. Probably more viable for raids because of the longer fights where you'll hopefully see their cooldowns align more often.
Thx for doing this mate =) !
@TheEllandria its a option under your camera settings
@SpammingHolyNova thanks after watching this video i switch to disc and having no problems healing on raids thanks!
great guide :)
@Infernius I have to make a conscious effort to use it twice, otherwise I only use it once. This is something I am trying to improve because most fights do last over 4 minutes right now.
@divineblinker It is not an addon, I simply replace the fonts in the Warcraft's Fonts folder.
@zo0m14 It is a modified version of Thorn UI.
I love your voice. I could listen to it all day. I'm not creepy, not at all..
@Purepie45 I only use Flash when people are certain to die if they don't get a heal RIGHT NOW. So usually around 25% or less.
That's sand mod. Of marrow is actually his brother if you read about it, its actually a pretty cool story behind it, it's on the wow page :)
@MrBlazind It is based off Thorn UI from wow-interface
btw try to use hymn of hope with shadowfiend since u have increased maximun mana and will then get more mana when your shadowfiend attacks.
i say this because i'm pretty sure your mana income in the future will require evangelism for 5% mana and rapture for 3.5% every 12 seconds. with 60k, 70k mana, the return from evangelism and rapture will mostly just cover the damage you did with smite, and the cost of the shield, but i know for sure that when you get your mana above the 100k, those talents will be absolutely marvelous.

@morras1997 Its not an addon, I just go to the new WoW website and view my character in advanced mode.
what i find very useful is the undead class if u are a mana using player, class ability is cannibalism
can you send me a list of your addons you use in this video? new disc priest, love your videos!
what addon is that? the one in the center that shows which on is off the CD
@SpammingHolyNova could u tell me which addon u use for ur buffs/debuffs? thx :)
@Hmnmnmnmmnn It is called Doom Cooldown Pulse
I noticed you use Inner Will on most fights, do you find that more effective than Inner focus?
@DIchronicaddict Its good to try, but not always viable if damage is going out and you can't channel.
Dodge to bracer O.o Thanks for the guide mate, after playing as holy for most of my Priests life, need some help on Disc priorities :D
Do you have any tips for PVP disc builds or websites where to find them?
I been disc healing and a lot of people tell me that atonement with evangelism and archangel is a good way to go, I have tried it but I don't know if its better than heal. Please reply if you have any tips
What addons do you use for healing, CDs, etc?
what addons do you use? they are great
@hockey9bomber Inner Will increases mana efficiency. That's what I need foremost right now. The slightly bigger heals from Inner Fire aren't worth it for me at the moment.

@MoonliteMemory it means heal people until they are at 100%
@GnarcoticDUB Yes.
@Purepie45 For a Holy Priest I'm sure that works. Although I wouldn't use Flash Heal on people below 60%, that seems like a huge waste of mana.
what addon is that for ur minimap?
i guess as u said, archangel/evangelism is pretty situational, but atm we're dealing with heroics where we must aoe spam heal at times, and in a raid u have other healers to do such, giving u time to smite the boss and (if u had atonement) heal tank at same time. i honestly think you'll find your build slightly unecessary for raiding, but i guess it's ok for dungeons.

that's a cool vid.. but when i healed this instance on normal, i went OOM on the first 3 mobs.. as disc.. did they fix the shitty manasystem yet?
it was a nice video actually, i totally agree on getting train of thought as you'll notice inner focus can be used far more often that if you hadn't, and same applies to penance. it's a very good talent for single target healing, like a disc should do in raids. i disagree u getting inner sanctum tho, it's pretty rubbish regardless of what it gives, you'd benefit alot more in having atonement, if you actually want train of thought worth having.
how did u change ur numbers and letters? is that addon? name please if it is
thanx this help'd me a lot. could you possible do a holy guide? or maybe even a pvp disc guide! thats would be awesome! /subed
what addons are you using
@SpammingHolyNova So your UI is thorn?
@ deadlyzin101 - Well I heard that disc is better once you have the gear, not sure :\.
But what I do know is that you need at least 2k spirit to heal heroics, read it on the battle.net priest class forum.
What UI are you using?
@someguyrs123 /console cameradistancemaxfactor (number here, 4-12 I think)
i couldnt really see your recount... how much dps is your guild doing ... at least when i run randoms i always get super high dps tanks and dps around 6k and it seems like heroic trash and bosses take ages to kill thus making mana management even more difficult
How the hell are people OOMing in raids ?
i NEVER OOM in raids and im holy priest.
I -3 your name
