Hey all. I have currently been considering switching to kyrian not because I like them but because I like the ability they have for disc priests. I do raiding too but I really enjoy mythic + a lot and I’m learning it and feel this ability could be useful. Have you guys been using it? If so what are your thoughts on it
i tried it during beta and it feels pretty good, but what i dont like is using the boon feels disjointed from from a H/D/S priest and now for the next 8 seconds you’re a boon priest boon doesn’t give sanity nor dose it add big levels to youre atonement. so youre just stuck booning. if that makes any sense. would say if youre enjoying disc give venth a whirl its abilty fits into our rotation really well and hits like a truck.

I’m looking for more a mythic + ability to help fill that big group heal spot.
I’m not sure I understand your boon priest comment. Can you elaborate?
I was under the impression that the smite replacement was able to do some decent damage when it hit and then the big boom hit as an aoe to heal and then damage and then heal through atonements again. Sort of like a double dip.
If I’m mistake that’s fine. I just need some clarifications lol.
so i guess what i dont like about it is when you activate boon pretty much locked into either smiting or nova-ing the both the blast and smite replacement do apply atonement but the aoe blast part only xfers atonement from the first dude hit. its why im not a fan of it, but if youre major on M+ its really good its just not my playstyle. if that helps.
I don’t so much mind the change from smite. Disc has quite a few buttons in our rotation that moving around different spells shouldn’t be too hard, but will for sure take some getting used to. Maybe using a weak aura to know when to cast it would make it easier. Idk. I’m on the fence about changing. Mind games is a fantastic single target bomb no doubt. With the majority of my play time going to mythic + I’d say I’d like to be able to improve my group healing.
The stop transfer from first target is fine. Seeing as that’s how unholy nova works too. And both unholy and boon do an aoe heal at the same time, but boon does it better. I’ve been using unholy nova from the jump and the usefulness is just not there. It’s a total subpar aoe heal/damage. Which is super unfortunate considering how much I love maldraxxus. I keep putting off changing covenants because I keep hoping for a tuning pass, but none ever come
Well it doesn’t align very well with spirit shell…and when it does, it’s just too powerful. Spirit shell has max 60% hp cap so…You probably have to switch to Eva build.
In dungeon it’s god.
Yeah that’s where I am wanting to focus. Mythic plus. I feel like kyrian is the optimal choice, but even if I chose vampy bois that massive damage would be pretty decent too help me too. I would want to try out kyrian as raid with ss vs evang to see how they fair. I can get a decent ss without either of them now so I think I would fair well with whatever I chose l. My issue is in mythic+ at the moment
You will like it, I mean I liked it…
Phials are good, can deal with any tough heal spot ( Prideful etc. ) and deal solid damage.
The long CD kind of sucks but it is a very nice CD to have for big AOE saves. When you Radiance->BotA you can pretty much heal through anything easily for the duration.
I would have preferred mindgames earlier on but now that I have more gear and the penitent one leggo I have more consistent aoe healing for the more common/frequent AOE damage spikes, so Kyrian feels better.
And like Taankskk said the Phial is very helpful when paired with desperate prayer for self sustaining.
