I must admit… I love playing disc in arena. Pumping damage to heal is just fun. Great kit but is it even competitive now? Seems like it’s holy or bust. Any high rated priests have some insight?
3.2k xp disc priest … have swapped to holy. not as fun, but still a lot of fun tbh.
numbers are just not comparable holy does more damage and has a stun/incap at ranged.
only advantage of disc is being able to be trained for a long time by a melee without peels, but with how poor your mana is that doesn’t matter anymore.
Wait, are you serious with holy producing more damage? How?
Uh Holy just does like 35% more damage with every ability by default. And it recently got buffed even more.
Just see how much your smite hits for as disc vs holy.
Disc has atonement so that is the compensation, but in practice I’m able to do both more damage and healing as holy than disc right now, without any of the mana issues.
Disc has advantages for sure just not enough to compensate
Dang =/ This is heartbreaking. Disc is by far my favorite healing spec ever made.
Yeah it’s incredibly incredibly well designed. Just the tuning for it is too weak right now (mana nerf to night fae covenant really hit hard)
You dont think that the set bonus found in tier sets will be big enough to off set this?
absolutely no idea.
disc set bonus was broken, they nerfed it a bit it’s still very good
but i haven’t tested either on ptr will wait and see, the holy one looks really good too
That was nerfed because we get double legendaries in 2 weeks and the NF lego doubles the mana gains from Fae Guardians.
I’ve been running that leggo as my ‘primary’ leggo and the mana from it was the only reason disc was viable last patch. Now that it’s nerfed, disc is quite poor. Yes.
