Lmk, discuss!
I think it’s the talents.
One is great and the other is also great.
well yeah, was hoping someone could explain the dfiferences in talents/playstyles
Discipline is heavily focused on single target healing, and preventative healing (better power word shields, pain suppression) plus, well, power infusion.
Holy is raid healing and “restorative healing” i.e. recovery after damage and very strong at it. Good for heroic dungeons too, especially now that tanks aren’t getting deleted by certain mobs (pain suppression in BC was immensely useful for some packs) especially with less confident/geared tanks, as if you die you can come back as a ghost and hopefully save your group from wiping (Admittedly not a likely outcome in wrath heroics)
Yeah disc is more focused on power word shield in wrath, so preventing damage. I believe in raids they just spam shields a lot to try and prevent damage. Holy on the other hand seems more like a typical healer, healing damage after it happens, and seems like a bit of a jack of all trades master of none.
ty guys, w hich is beter for heroic dungeons? holy? ty again
One heals, one is a shield spam bot
For leveling, a disc/holy hybrid is pretty fun. You don’t do large dps hits. But you’ll never die.
For heroics disc is the better spec but only if you use it to dps as well as heal. If you don’t think you can dps and heal at the same time, play holy.
Also warrior tanks generally don’t like pw shield since it deprives them of some rage.
I’ve been using a 38H/33D spec for my priest’s heroic & raid healing. It’s been working well & fits my play style. It revolves around 25%+ more efficient bread & butter Flash Heals, mana efficiency/regen/longevity in general, & various proc effects off healing crits (100% mana regen while casting, free+instant Flash Heals, target damage reduction buff). Just stack some spirit & spellcrit & go to town like a healing energizer bunny.

I Havnt been impressed by holy priests I’ve ran with seems a bit weak. Disc is the way to go but hard to find raid spots in established guilds because they most likely have a disc already (which isn’t stackable).
You can try playing holy for raid but it’s worse than the next worse healer resto shaman.
I don’t think this is true anymore for wrath, pretty sure they still get rage through power word: shield.
There’s also a talent in the disc tree that gives them 8 rage when the shield breaks.
