Too long have the terrorist developers used Discipline as their chew toy. Disrespecting our time and subscription dollars to put into Paladin development.
Disc is the only spec in the game without a stun or interrupt.
We have trash mobility and our primary CC is melee ranged.
Our borrowed power ability from shadowlands (mindgames) is beyond useless trash.
We require multiple passive PVP talents to be playable in PVP (Ultimate Radiance & Greater Fade and Inner Light and shadow.
Warriors and DK’s completely smash our faces in with 50 fear breaks a second on low CD’s and the ability to kill void tendrils.
Mass Dispel is beyond useless garbage.
Our Talent trees are a mess with passive talents such as Leniance & Benevolence are completely disrespectful talent nodes. Whoever made these talents would have been fired on the spot if I was running this “design team”.
Despite all the factoids I have stated here Blizzard has decided to take away our Rapture - This will not stand with me.
It is time to REVOLT BROTHERS.
Until the next patch comes out I ask all willing Discipline priests to remove Rapture off your bars to make a self-powerinfusion maco and to delete the Twin Sun Priestess talent node. The time of providing willfully ignorant DPS with power infusion is over.
All willing Discipline priests I ask we remove these spells from our bars so the DPS scumb and developers suffer. It is time for change.
We demand:
MindGames on our Priest tree again and buffed to Shadowlands levels of power.
A Mobility Cooldown such as door of shadows on no more than 50 second CD.
A stun - Chastise will do.
Rapture returned to us.
Fast Mass Dispell returned back to us.
POM healing for Disc increased by 300%.
Power Word Life increased healing by 400%
Until these demands are met it’s time to show our utter disdain for these clowns at HQ.
Chastise doesn’t stun, you are thinking censure. So 2 talents to get a stun. I can’t remember the last time I took it. I wouldn’t be against them moving that to the priest tree though.
Love the passion, but let’s not randomly grief other players for no reason. That’s not an act of protest that Blizzard is going to pick up on you goofball.
Its wild how all the priests who are not competitive have the wildest takes on these changes so far, their voices shouldnt be heard by blizzard…i been 2700 on disc in pvp and 2400+ in multiple seasons…like. the devs are really smoking some fenty or something dude…and the other priests in these forums are doing the same by saying all these changes are fine lmfao
Your post had no takes except to be disparaging. VW had to get worked over. Anyone who didn’t realize that was smoking whatever you accused the devs of smoking and a lot of the priests making comments have been around doing this since legion which entitles them to a say in how the current disc is. Too many disc are jonny come latelys who jumped on the op band wagon but havent been here for the long haul
That’s because I have zero respect or belief in the people that make this game they are all hopeless untalented morons. I’ve played priest and rogue since WOW vanilla I’m the opposite of a Johnny come lately. I can’t tell you my /played because I’ve been perma banned on 7 accounts but it would be over 2000 days played (was around 1650 in WOD) I know Disc like the back of my hand and the people that make Disc should be fired.
why did you guys even ask the devs to revamp the class? It was already literally perfect. So funny coming from Holy, and seeing the spec already slated for nerfbatting.
Most people asking for changes were asking for less reliance on bender windows/resets because that’s all the spec’s revolved around for 2 tiers and it gets kinda boring. They wanted the rest of the kit buffed up.
That said, the current slate of changes seems like it’s just an intentional nerf from Blizzard (Disc is overrepresented in M+) on voidweaver, and a lot of attempts to bring Oracle into the PvE scene, and pretty much no consideration for PvP with Rapture’s removal. But Oracle’s still not gonna perform great in raid. So really it mostly just possibly pivots Oracle Disc into M+.
We’ll see.
Disc was absolutely not going into next tier without nerfs though. They pretty much always hit the top M+ healer. Sometimes not enough to kick them out of the top spot, but they’re pretty consistent that when their changes cause a healer to take over M+, they hit them the next tier.
Discipline is over represented in every facet of the game. People like the idea of damaging to do healing but it doesn’t mean the spec is even slightly fun to play ATM there have been atleast 7 expansions of Disc game play I myself have enjoyed over the current game and this stuff would be good pretty much explains the pain points of the class perfectly in PVP:
Maybe currently (I haven’t been playing much after like week 3 or 4). But doing damage to heal isn’t why - Most specs have moved towards that paradigm somewhat, at least dipped in their toes.
But Disc has been a fairly unpopular spec from legion til now even at its stronger points - it’s only widely adopted when it’s an actual meta spec or overtuned like crazy. I’d say that changed a little in Dragonflight’s S3 changes - the bender spec DID bring some people over with that tier set and it was doing OK popularity-wise after that relative to other non-meta healers. But I have a feeling that’s to do with ease of use - once you’re over the initial hurdle, disc is a fairly easy spec to play in PvE now. Even in raid, you can get mods to basically autopilot your ramps.
I’d love Door of Shadow back as a mobility tool, however unless it has a very short cooldown, I don’t think a cast time makes up for a good movement ability.
They could also put Shining Force back, in the spec tree, or as a PVP talent at least.
Disc essentially has infinite CDs of various kinds to keep your group alive while still doing damage. It’s been a meta spec for almost every season in various content forms, and even in most if not all content. Disc doesn’t need any help, and I’m glad it’s getting reworked to nerf so many talents, especially those based on shield spams.
