I am thinking of making a Disc Priest for fun, not to level all the way. My reason is I like the survivability, and at low levels, the damage is decent. I would mess around doing a couple of leveling dungeons as DPS. I have two questions regarding DPS for dungeons and leveling. First, is the schism talent worthwhile? I used to use it when it had a much shorter CD but with the long CD I cannot use it on every mob when questing. The talent to add another bolt to penance seems like the best bet because at least it would be used all the time. Second, while questing what should be my rotation? Should I use shadow word: pain at all? Or should I do something Penance Smite/Smite/Smite Penance? Also, would the Disc nerfs in 8.1 affect what I want to do much? I would like use Body and Soul at level 30 for the movement buff.
I hate Shadow, btw
You have no desire to get to max level? I don’t understand. If that’s the case you can probably talent whatever you want and be fine.
But do answer your question yeah you’re gunna want castigation for leveling in open world stuff, schism cd is too long and you won’t get full uptime on mobs that die in 5 seconds.
Yeah SWP is worth it for the empowered penance procs. I find mindbender or solace to be personal preference but solace feels a little better now especially for questing. Obviously you wanna take Sins of the Many too
