Priest Disc & Shadow Rework (BASIC)

[Licketysplit77]

I Main Shadow priest and dabbled in Disc. I thought i would present a few basic ideas
Would love someone with the time and patience to run with this and elaborate on it

HOLY
You guys can keep that, have not played it enough to give it too much thought.
This should be a solid healer, no shadow spells at all

DISC
disc should be given Shadowform, the ability to switch in and out of shadowform exactly as shadow does now
depending on which form your in the spells take on different form
e.g.
Mind flay / Penance would only be available depending wether you were in shadow or not
so in shadow mind flay is available and it deals 70% damage, 30% healing (Flay would not be channeling, it would act as penance cast, 3 hits, etc)
not in shadow penance is available and it deals 70% healing, 30% damage

this would similar for all spells, theyd of course need a rework / renaming, but all with the 70/30 difference in healing and dpsing
Mind blast / Flash Heal
dispersion / bubble
shadow word pain / holy fire


SHADOW
would be in constant shadow form
would lose all holy spells
but gain the ability to leech like old Vampiric touch in order to get its heals off

disc should be given Shadowform

lol, what, no.

bold move giving disc shadow form.

It wouldnt fit lorewise though, as shadow form represents being a shadow ascendant, its only accessible through dedicating yourself to darkness.

I get what you are asking though, i would like to see disc reworked as a hybrid holy/shadow spec too, and i would love to see shadow lose direct heals in favor of its old school health drain effects.

As for stance dancing, that would fit better into discs playstyle than shadows, as shadow wants to remain in shadow form as much as possible while disc constantly swaps between dps and healing.

I like the direction though. i want to see a shadowier discipline priest specialization come legion. having 3 holy specs just bores me to tears, having a hybrid light and dark spec would be great.
