    Holy vs. Disc for pvp?

    Hello!

    I've done a quick search for disc pvp priests on wow-europe.com 3v3 and 2v2 ladders.
    However I see only 2 disc priests popping up in there.

    Is disc no longer viable in pvp compared to holy? And what makes holy so much stronger, that little to none plays it anymore?

    Lightwell is very strong now, most powerful hot in the game i believe.

    Also chastise being on its own dr table is amazing for getting fears off.

    Feathers>guise>chastise>fear combo is very strong, couple that with the fact that you dont need to cast, all your spells are instant pretty much, so very mobile compared to disc.

    Its not a question of disc not being viable, its a good healing spec, its just holy has more utility therefore the majority of people pick it over disc.

    If you could not before in disc means that the priest is not for you.

    Not necessarily. I'm a well versed healer and found disc more difficult to thrive in RBGs.

    Disc is worse than holy. More vulnerable to dispel, lower throughput, more reliant on casting heals, no Divine Hymn, PS is not as good as GS, no chastise, less damage. Main benefit of Disc is Inner Focus, but with the amount of stuns in today's game, it's easily countered. PW:B isn't bad, but not alot of damage reduction, and limited in that it has to be placed.

    Divine Aegis is the main problem for disc, why it isn't viable at all. And then it's because holy is better in every way - healing (multitarget, higher throughput), dmg (lolwat), getting fears off (Chastise), instant casts (mobility, interrupts), Lightwell healing through LOS, Divine Hymn (vs. Barrier that is useful maybe when a rogue Smoke Bombs your teammate) etc.

    Holy is still vulnerable to dispel. Renew makes a lot, since people stack haste, take Glyph of Renew and refresh it with Serenity.
