About Discipline Priest

Curious to know how folks about Disc with phase 2 runes and talents.

Discipline priest was really disappointing to try and play for me. The shield gains such little bonus absorb from healing power that speccing fully into Disc runes and all feels like I’m intentionally hurting my raid group. Using Strength of Soul to spam shields with a rank one lesser heal or flash heal for the faster cast time burns my mana bar so fast. Even with the 15% bonus from Disc talents its so far behind greater heal. For nearly the same mana cost you get half the value. I know shield is an instant cast and is balanced around that but with Strength of Soul in the game shouldn’t it feel better to press power word shield?

Maybe I’m missing something, looking to have a conversation about this!

I laugh every time I see a priest complaining about their healing capabilities. Bubbles iirc don’t really scale with spell power, that doesn’t become a thing till WotLK. Priest is still well above every other healer in the game and until those classes get buffs, priest doesn’t need anything but a nerf to their runes.
