Worse than druid and too many cooldowns and whack-a-mole style, but the damage is awesome!
how is druid bad
I am saying holy priest is worse than druid, not that druid is bad
I’m loving disc but holy priest can probably do just fine. Should just give it a whirl and see how it goes. I just personally don’t find it as fun as disc.
There is something about watching the group’s health go to half, back to full, back to half, and back to full again without ever stopping damage that is fun. It’s the closest we’ve had to “shadow priest heals” since early in the game.
You are phrasing this due to an outdated bias - Disc and Holy both are doing perfectly fine, in fact go to the top Priest healers in M+ and you will find Disc and Holy spread out at the top.
Priests as a whole lack whats needed to be ‘meta’, notably versus druids and evokers, currently, but otherwise there is no issue with Holy or Disc.

You take that back right this instant.
holy priest and disc priest are both off meta and have their strengths and weaknesses
holy pros:
- can heal goof ups better
- higher potential dps, highest of any healer
- very good ST healing
disc pros:
- very good and easy aoe burst healing
- lower potential damage but can dps much more often
- dr baked in to their heals and barrier cd
holy cons:
- their aoe healing takes a bit more than “lol radiance beat up boss”
- cant dps very much when group damage is going out
- worse dr options aside from GS
disc cons:
- low potential dps to account for the fact theyre almost always dpsing
- bad at healing unexpected damage and spot-healing heavy hits
- no chastise stun
both are squishy and kind of slow, disc is a bit more mobile
i guess you could also account for disc not having the angel of shame

I miss the chakra system. Always thought it was the most fun iteration of Holy.
i vaguely remember those, it was wod era wasnt it?
idk i was 12-13 and griefing lfr so ill take your word for it
disc isnt difficult once you get used to it
It’s not hard don’t get me wrong, there’s just a few things I struggle with that I’m not a big fan of.
Holy seems like it’s going to outperform disc this season. It’s only a bit off HPS and it deals significantly more damage. Really the only problem with holy priest is it’s not resto druid or mistweaver monk. After those two, the other 5 healing specs are all in a similar spot for M+.
I hated the chakra system. That was the only iteration of holy priest that I actively avoided playing.
Certainly just an opinion, and more power to those who liked it. But it was not for me.
stop playing based on both what some streamer says or some 1%
You are not on either level so play a class that works for you in a way that works for you. Even these BiS lists are based on the way they play to a min/max level.
Holy (and all healers) are fine for like 95% of keys being ran.
im not asking what the 1% streamer says lol, I’m asking if its good for m+ lol chill out I’m just bored and was wondering if holy was any good for m+ sorry that is offensive to you
And this is why I will never seriously put time into Disc.
It’s almost always great when it can predict the damage and plan accordingly. ie: a decently to highly skilled organized group that has already learned the content. That’s not how most runs ends up going.
Disc hasn’t been terrible for me in PUGs. I certainly have to work harder when people decide to act like bugs to the zapper in keys on disc than I do every other healer I play, but it generally has enough in the toolkit to save players when required. It would have been really nice if disc priest players voted for the S2 set bonus for the instant, free radiances for keys, though.
According to subcreation holy is better
If holy and disc are even close i’de go holy because it’s easy and easy gameplay = good gameplay
