Hello! I have a major concern I would love to see addressed:
The season 2 set bonus was an all-time favorite for a lot of us, but without some sort of assurance that the SPEC would be adjusted to still play well without the CURRENT tier set (i.e. have 30 second CD on shadow covenant via the Void Summoner talent and a 45-60s CD on shadowfiend via the same), everyone will just vote for the current tier set. This is not a problem that can be resolved just by buffing the season 2 tier set - it would have to be resolved by simply doubling the CD reduction on the Void Summoner talent per smite cast, in order to hit the same CD timings as we currently can. Without this happening, the spec will simply not play right in literally any of the three raids from this expansion.
I am hopeful that the Void Summoner talent was balanced entirely around the current tier set and that the CDR value on it will be doubled when this tier set is gone, but if that is not the case, we will essentially HAVE TO vote for the season 3 set if we want our spec to still function in both raid and m+.
Some sort of reassurance that the SPEC will be adjusted as well as the S2 set (to bring its power up to the 30% HPS/DPS that the current set provides, which frankly I do not even know if that’s even possible just based on the design of both the spec and the current/S2 tier sets) would be needed for us to actually feel comfortable and confident in voting for our favorite set, instead of just the one that the spec is currently designed around having access to.

2-Set - Priest Discipline 10.1 Class Set 2pc - Casting Penance on an enemy also heals a nearby injured ally at 20% effectiveness. Casting Penance on an ally also damages a nearby enemy at 35% effectiveness.
4-Set - Priest Discipline 10.1 Class Set 4pc - Every 3 casts of Penance grants you Shadow Covenant for 5 seconds and converts that Penance to a Shadow spell.

4-Set - Priest Discipline 10.1 Class Set 4pc - Every 3 casts of Penance grants you Shadow Covenant for 5 seconds and converts that Penance to a Shadow spell.
That is not the right tier set. That is the first proposed tier before the season started. It was changed before the season started to be below.
(2) Set Bonus: Shadow Word: Pain/Purge the Wicked damage increased by 25 percent. Power Word: Radiance healing increased by 15 percent.
(4) Set Bonus: Atonements applied by Power Word: Radiance last three seconds longer. Your spells have a chance to cause your next Power Word: Radiance to be instant and cost 100 percent less mana. Can accumulate up to two charges.
This is Season 2 for Discipline, which I’m voting for. It works well in all content: raids, M+, and PVP. And it doesn’t tie you to a pet (eww). Also: Instant Radiance is the yum yum sauce.
(2) Set Bonus: Purge the Wicked/Shadow Word: Pain damage increased by 25%. Power Word: Radiance healing increased by 15%.
(4) Set Bonus: Atonements applied by Power Word: Radiance last 3 sec longer. Your spells have a chance to cause your next Power Word: Radiance to be instant and cost 50% less mana. Can accumulate up to 2 charges.
2-Set - Power Word: Shield increases the effectiveness of your next direct damage or healing spell by 10%.
4-Set - Penance increases the strength of your next Power Word: Shield by 60% of its damage or 18% of its healing

You literally don’t have a 4 piece in PvP because everyone runs the talent bro.

If you don’t play disc and you just want to vote to feel special just vote season 3, season 2 is boring and almost every disc has access to spatial paradox now thanks.
In the first hours I had it, I didnt like it, until I got to understand it better. Most casual players also wont’t see the value in it because they don’t even play the class properly.
S2 is even more useless with current Enduring Luminescence (in the past it didnt reduce the cast time).
On raid the situation gets even worse. Many of the ramp timers done on fights like smolderon would be unattainable with S2. Youd play the same fights with a weaker class. Depressing!
If you’re not voting for the current Season 3 Tier Set, you’re REALLY wrong.
If Season 2 wins, there will not be any disc priest on High Keys… Hope ppl understand that, and keep us alive on M+ content.
It was an error to let the community vote. Specially knowing that people can make hete vote.
Season 2 Tier Set does not give anything working with the current rework with only one charge of Mind Blast… Voting in the Season 2 tier set is a Major error.
