I agree! I don't even play anymore, and I watch them just because I love Preach and how well he does his videos and just because their very entertaining.
As someone returning to the game, not having played any pandaria after the first month or so (capped my main, my panda and then got bored of the grind). I'm now coming back and enjoying the game a ton. leveling my priest for something new and disc looks like just my style, thanks for the guide, watch all of them to be a better player and understand other players.
Worth pointing out that Spirit Shell stacks with itself up to 60% of the caster's health. That can make a *huge* difference. SS and PoH a few times to put a huge shield on everyone, or SS and GH or FH to suddenly add a huge chunk to the tank's effective HP. DA stacks on top of that, so if you Inner Focus a GH and then SS, you can really insulate the tank to a trouble spot.
Yes you can do this, i actually usually stack up a max Divine Aegis on the pulling tank before pull and power word: shield for a sexy 300-400k bubble for the pull. and if im not mistaken the damage they take goes into the smallest bubble/absorb that they have at the time.
Open with Holy fire then Smite till the DoT of Holy fire wears off, then Penance (the mob/boss). The channel of Penance will end at around the time Holy fire comes off CD. So you can repeat as a rotation. Casting shield on tank before the Penance will decrease your channel time. Penance used on a Mob rather than an ally works well because the Penance can Attonement heal 3 different targets. 1 per charge of Penance as apose to healing 1 person directly with all 3 charges.
Hey, I just recently got back into WoW with the Scroll of Resurrection. I'm now playing a disc priest and I found your guide very usefull. I also very new to addons, and your setup looks clear and handy, could you list me the addons you use ? thanks in advance.
Depends on what your raid needs obviously and your play style. I very much prefer disc where as my wife swears by holy. Holy has bigger heals but with disc you find you dont need the big heals as its preventitive. Holy is reactive healing, disc is proactive if that makes sense.
A few things that are a little bit misleading. You say smite healing is inefficient when smite is cheaper than the heal spell when at 5 stacks of evangelism. Also mentioning using penance on the enemy for AOE healing would have been nice, other than that perfect and fun guide.
Its gr8 that he is doing his guides again i would love him to do rogue after the priest. So mikepreach if u read this plz will u put rogue guides ip after the priest. Thx if i do :D
You seem to have misunderstood: *I* am a noob priest who isn't max level yet, and am asking a question concerning weather MY rotation is wrong because the talent isn't mentioned on its usefulness.
apparently disc was a very viable raid spec. Our priest had actually switched because of how much better it was in 5.1 than holy. I dunno where preach is getting his info?
I've been told that a disc preist can't raid heal I understand they tank heal but I always though that you should be able to heal raids with disc spec also any ideas on some aoe healing?
Absorption is counted in overall healing in Recount. I don't use Skada so if that's what your referring to you may be right. As far as Recount is concerned, Absorption is counted in overall heals as well as heals per sec. I was not outhealed in 5.1 either. Preacher does not post this stuff for shits n giggles. He plays the game and plays the classes before he just runs off at the mouth. Be a bit more intuitive next time. Oh and WoL does not calculate skill/latency. There is no better spec.
My question is can Divine Aegis, Spirit Shell and Power Word: Shield all stack? Can you have each of the shields on at the same time and do they take damage one at a time?
Noob disc priest here, not max level yet: I find "from darkness comes light" procs invaluable for quickly reducing the debuff and reapplying PW:S under heavy tank damage. Tanks in normal mists dungeons routinely go through their PW:S in a single second when they pull too much. Is that not a valid tactic or is the balance of the class different at max level so it's not needed as much?
My guild is stuck on durumu, and our comp is two disc priests and a holy priest, I have been thinking of switching to holy, should I? Any feed back would be great
i heard that you said the worst stats are haste, dont agree with ya. You want to stack as much Crit and hast as possible, atlest in 10man, i dont rly see any point going mast. cus the only thing im doing as disc in 10man is smite, POM sheilds who ever who is low on health, my healing partner dose the rest rly, but yeah we can talk about it all day xD. but in 10man go for crit/haste
Get around 12k spirit then pure crit ,i got 32% crit and divine aegis is just pewpew , keep pom up also inner focus with poh then just spam smite , this is for 10man, my partner is monk
Hate to be the negative one; but the Smite healing you were calling out was 50% of what other players in your group would get as it was healing you, no?
First of all read 5.1!! ToT is 5.2!!! Divine aegis was guaranteed on PoH casts in 5.1 = 100 shield uptime! Point 2 the disc priest you outheal does not represent overall Disc healing. Want a real point go to WoL healing, Point made.
Viable but boring. More so in 25s then 10s, but PoH spam was the way to play for disc in 25s. There were raids that were taking a disc priest ONLY for the damage reduction through DA and SS.
I agree! I don't even play anymore, and I watch them just because I love Preach and how well he does his videos and just because their very entertaining.
Preach, THANK YOU!!!!!! Now we need a Ghost's Guide to the Classes. Specially how to make them look good.
As someone returning to the game, not having played any pandaria after the first month or so (capped my main, my panda and then got bored of the grind). I'm now coming back and enjoying the game a ton. leveling my priest for something new and disc looks like just my style, thanks for the guide, watch all of them to be a better player and understand other players.
HE DID IT!!!!!! xD Thank ya Preach, already watched all your other guides, needed something new haha.
Finally the guides are back!
Yet another awesome guide from the Preacherman!
Preach Please reupload it with 720p it hurts my eyes to read stuff with 480p, but FINALLY GUIDES ARE HERE :) :) :)
Worth pointing out that Spirit Shell stacks with itself up to 60% of the caster's health. That can make a *huge* difference.

im new to healing and this has helped me a LOT. thanks for the guide!
Yes you can do this, i actually usually stack up a max Divine Aegis on the pulling tank before pull and power word: shield for a sexy 300-400k bubble for the pull. and if im not mistaken the damage they take goes into the smallest bubble/absorb that they have at the time.
the intro makes me so happy
I like how you did this first since you couldn't put a Disc one out last time.
Open with Holy fire then Smite till the DoT of Holy fire wears off, then Penance (the mob/boss). The channel of Penance will end at around the time Holy fire comes off CD. So you can repeat as a rotation. Casting shield on tank before the Penance will decrease your channel time. Penance used on a Mob rather than an ally works well because the Penance can Attonement heal 3 different targets. 1 per charge of Penance as apose to healing 1 person directly with all 3 charges.
Thank you, Preacher! Very nice video!
thank you so much for the guide. helped me out a ton!
you took the words out of my mouth!:)
Thou have returned!
Thanks Preach for teaching my how to play dis Pries ;D
Hey, I just recently got back into WoW with the Scroll of Resurrection. I'm now playing a disc priest and I found your guide very usefull. I also very new to addons, and your setup looks clear and handy, could you list me the addons you use ? thanks in advance.
TY, just made my 1st alt... a preist :D i went disc cause i wanted to spec heals for leveling but then still do DPS
Depends on what your raid needs obviously and your play style.
I very much prefer disc where as my wife swears by holy. Holy has bigger heals but with disc you find you dont need the big heals as its preventitive.
Holy is reactive healing, disc is proactive if that makes sense.
second time watching this! #proud baller !
great video!
i actually excited to play my priest

Its gr8 that he is doing his guides again i would love him to do rogue after the priest. So mikepreach if u read this plz will u put rogue guides ip after the priest. Thx if i do :D
not necessarily, my disc priest is crit/mastery, mastery helps out ALOT on intense fights like malkorok where you absolutely NEED shields.
Restoration Shaman next please Mike! :)
You seem to have misunderstood: *I* am a noob priest who isn't max level yet, and am asking a question concerning weather MY rotation is wrong because the talent isn't mentioned on its usefulness.
Preach are you going to go over the new Monk changes in 5.2?
apparently disc was a very viable raid spec. Our priest had actually switched because of how much better it was in 5.1 than holy. I dunno where preach is getting his info?
oh i thought it was out longer than just :P, i didn't see it was just uploaded :P
I've been told that a disc preist can't raid heal I understand they tank heal but I always though that you should be able to heal raids with disc spec also any ideas on some aoe healing?
disc are the best raid healers at this moment
Hell yeah!!! Swobuswaggins!!!!
right now attonement is insane especially in T14 content i basically healed all of sha of fear with attonement. i think it was roughly 82%
I use the Mr. Robot website to help me reforge and enchant my gear and it tells me to go for haste rather than going crit which is second
Which is better for a red socket, full intellect or intellect and mastery?

OMG Preach! You are on sylvanas EU, I play alliance there :)
Disc is great.
Whats that addon you have that shows your healing on the right side of your character?
miks scrolling battle text
Nice video
i'm having some trouble getting my TMW to work properly
it takes a while for all the qualities to render.
It's worth noting you said smite only healed for 23k but that is reduced 50% so healing on another player would be around 46k :)
Smite heals harder than that keep in mind its cut in half because your healing yourself with it
Didn't mention Void Shift.
My guild is stuck on durumu, and our comp is two disc priests and a holy priest, I have been thinking of switching to holy, should I? Any feed back would be great

the moment when your moving from will of emp hc - stomp - you get B&S - move out of range too fast and get stunned XD
Get around 12k spirit then pure crit ,i got 32% crit and divine aegis is just pewpew , keep pom up also inner focus with poh then just spam smite , this is for 10man, my partner is monk
preach u should but in an extra add in the middle of ur longer vids :)
It's easy to make them look good. Just make em a Belf..... - Ghost Logic
WOO
Holla Preach!
Resto druid NEXT PLEASE :D
just search on his channel, he has addon and ui videos there :D
LOL, "fall to his knees like a Thai bride..."
Spirit Spell has put Holy out of business in progression 10 mans :(
He said it got good towards the end. His main complaint was that its boring.
This is not a 5.3 guide to disc healing and you should take this video down or revamp it so it's correct.
12:38 from good to bad! XD
omfw ! I sooooo wanna play my disc RIGHT MEOW!

First of all read 5.1!! ToT is 5.2!!! Divine aegis was guaranteed on PoH casts in 5.1 = 100 shield uptime! Point 2 the disc priest you outheal does not represent overall Disc healing. Want a real point go to WoL healing, Point made.
Has chakra been removed?
Whats better for pve holy or disc?
That has always only been for holy. Disc has never had chakra.
Atonement mana expensive? Not at all. You can keep spamming atonement all the time with barely 8k spirit.
give it time, it takes a while for a 20 minute video to get to 720p
What are your Addons?
@Brandon Olson
what kinda addons do you use?
what addons are you using
@Jeremy Clark
so no fights
Disc was op as hell in 5.1.... the hell you talkin bout
Viable but boring. More so in 25s then 10s, but PoH spam was the way to play for disc in 25s. There were raids that were taking a disc priest ONLY for the damage reduction through DA and SS.
