Can’t even play mine. Damage feels pitiful now and that’s all it brings to the table in games. Wherever that priest is that said this would happen you were right. Tanked so much rating in solo shuffle recently.

The most effective go stopping Cooldowns in the game.
Rapture, Dome 2 charges of PS.
If you PS early enough its entirely possible to get:
Dome, PS, Rapture, Dome, PS, Rapture, Dome, PS, Rapture
If you think damage is the only thing disc does it’s because you’re likely a shuffler that has no relevant experience playing the game.
Add to this kit a ton of instant healing, 2 schools of magic if you intelligently play shadow cov for lockout protection when you neeed to cast, and super relevant damage when it matters in goes, and you have an insanely solid healer.
Just because Disc isn’t outright broken doesn’t mean that it’s not good. I swear you guys think that if something isn’t like S++ tier that its bad and it’s just not the case. Disc is insanely good and in a great place, changes to the spec were 100% warranted.

Holy priest feels 100x worse than disc but by all means

Well I can’t play disc at all in this state so I’ll have to switch or play bare minimum on my priest until they get buffs
Absolutely notihng about disc’s ability to respond to damage has been compromised.
You just can’t randomly global people with schism mind blast.
Atonement was scaled to make up for the damage nerf.
If you’re saying you can’t play disc because you can’t do damage anymore (literally the only thing that is different about disc post nerf) then what makes you think you’ll enjoy playing holy they do like 10x less damage than disc post nerf
^^^^ the above being the objective reality makes you just sound like a career challenger that knows negative about the game whining because the spec you were playing isn’t broken anymore. No flame of course. Disc damage was objectively broken. It’s more in line with what it should be now.

Atonement healing isn’t keeping up anyone in this meta with dampening as high as it is.
I’ll try it. If it doesn’t work then I wont play priest much at all
Yea I don’t face as many anymore. Those nerfs hit pretty hard
Latest datamining shows that Discipline priest gets an interrupt in the form of a PvP talent. Thoughtsteal is now changed to interrupt the target. If we successfully interrupt a spell, we will be able to reactivate Thoughtsteal to use the spell we interrupted.

An interrupt would be nice
Translation: I’m a FOTM player, I only play classes when they are broken and gain rating. When they get nerfed I can no longer gain rating, it’s not a skill issue its a class issue, nerfs are too hard.

Disc damage does not need to be high like that where you’re doing as much damage as other DPS. They did the right thing by nerfing damage & buffing atonement like I said months ago when no one believed it would get nerfed haha. It’s like kinda obvious.

Literally said this would happen, it’s not that disc isn’t a viable healer with its cds….
It’s that now disc is the least mana efficient lowest hps healer now. The trade off before was that you would oom but had great burst potiention. The buff to atonement isn’t enough to counterbalance the massive need to dmg.
Once disc is out of PS/ rapture/ dome it doesn’t have the sustain now to heal things through damp and burst.

I started doing solo shuffle again after disc got nerfed and almost every healer I’m playing against is still a disc priest
I’m pretty sure atonement scaled up higher than what the damage was scaled down from the feel of it
I have to believe you’re trolling.
I disagree. The damage isn’t there so the healing also feels lackluster. You need burst healing in solo shuffle and atonement healing ain’t it

The problem with the nerf is it didn’t address the oom. Balance of good dps and healing must be there or you might as well play a different healing class. The damage output was to help against oom by healing more. Now damage is down and you rely more on healing. Atonement is lackluster and can’t keep up, forced to flash heal = oom fast. Yes the nerf did break disc. Those that comment otherwise either have top tier gear or just jump on the wagon to push disc down.
If that’s true, then maybe Atonement should be buffed again. I don’t think players are ok with Disc doing high damage in RSS.
