Greeting from the past from when wow was good.
Is Disc/mage still a competitive combo like it used to be back in the day?
Wondering if it’s more worthwhile than double dps.
its pre good. Holy/fire is better cuz of chastise but dark arch is juice as well
I haven’t played much priest in arena in quite awhile… Disc just seemed like it would put out more offensive pressure.
Like, how do you get kills with a mage… assuming he’s fire because it’s the spec to be right now… how are you securing kills against melee/healer comps?.. especially with Ret healing and their insane damage.
Is disc/fire good? Do I need to be holy?..
is it significantly worse than playing with a melee or is is decent?
disc is easier to do damage with because of atonement, you can spend globals on dps and not fall behind on healing.
Holy has really insane burst dmg. Holy fire > chastise > mindgames is like 30k dmg from the holy alone.
combustion. Scariest CD in the game and then he does 0 dmg till combustion is back. He can reduce bust CD by spamming fireball.
Disc/fire imo is strictly worse than holy/fire because you have no way to stun the kill target so he’s free to los/use defensives combustion while the off target is sheeped or feared.
Better than a melee ehh disc is really good with feral/rogue/ww/warr
holy is better with casters again just because msot casters don’t have reliable stun and holy priest does
Wait what? How is a holy priest able to do that much damage in 3 abilities? … I’m aware mind games is strong but where’s all the other damage coming from?
I thought chastise was an incapacitate?
So for a person coming back to healing after a year break… is disc significantly easier?
well 30k is more like if you get a mindgames crit, right now with 216ilvl my mindgames on holy does 9k dmg on hit (I use mind games conduit to boost its dmg and duration), so crit is 18k + holy fire is 5k, chastise is 3k. So more like 28k but it’s a helluva lot, and even if it doesn’t crit its around 20k, plus mindgames debuff
You can take a talent to turn chastise into an undispellable stun.
IMO disc is easier but I have way way more time spent as disc than holy. I’m not sure which is objectively easier. I also do run the most braindead disc spec possible

So you’re primarily disc PvP?
this season i played disc/feral in 2’s and in 3’s just whatever broken stuff like boomy/ret or whatever lfg throws my way. Just messing around with holy in 2’s recently.
I rly am not a good holy

That said, I’m surprised you don’t recommend disc/fire lol
It’s not bad, like you could get to my rating with it and probly a lot higher. I just think holy is strictly better with mage in 2’s.
Power infusion dark archangel combust is really broken, just u don’t have a stun to confirm the dmg

I’m more used to direct healing vs atonement healing which is kind of a plus for going holy…
But I would like to confirm, holy/fire is viable? To a high level?
What’s your rating?
yah is viable to high level I see streamsters running it.
im 1900. was 2k before i started tanking as holy cuz i dun even know the keybinds
Its alright, holy fire is better as someone mentioned. The comp feels really weird right now cause of the Mind Control bug which is very good for Mage, Priest.

MInd control bug?
Ok let me change the topic,
Is “holy/fire” a good comp? Like 2k worthy?
Yeah when you mind control, your mage will see the other players teleporting around. Makes it very annoying to play, you don’t really know where anyone is exactly so you miss novas, fail casts do to LoS, pretty obnoxious. You and your MC target won’t notice a difference but everyone else in the game will.
Had to stop queueing it with my buddy cause it just stopped being fun.

So is holy/fire 2s capable of decent rating?
Yeah even with the bug you can get 2.4 probably on it. We ran it up to around 2k just memeing fire mage one shots with pyroclasm.
Just be prepared for your mage to complain about mindcontrol =)

I’m kinda carrying him so he won’t complain lol
If I could get him to 1800 I’d be happy
