Disc seems incredibly strong in mythics.

[Brandon7894]

I was skeptical of the spec when it was originally announced like most. After a little bit of time on beta i grew to adore it's playstyle, and decided to main it in legion after playing MW/Hpriest/Hpally on and off through mythic HM/BRF/HFC

Fast forward to now and i'm simply amazed at how great we are in 5man mythics. My guild seems to really like how great the healing is and how much dps i can bring. This was especially helpful the first week of mythics where our gear was horrible and we had some really close calls on bosses.

Well done blizzard for designing this spec.

How's everyone else finding the spec?

i mean disc isn't the strongest 5 man healer, but it's not as bad as people think it is.

Disc is the worst 5 man healer. You can do mythics just fine, but for M+ expect to lag behind.

Agree to disagree, I don't think Disc is any worse than MW or even RSham. Can't keep up with RDruid, and HPal has the burst healing that is valuable to keep tanks up, but Disc a pretty good spec. The damage is great and Shadowmend is a LOT of healing.

If your group knows the tactics i would argue disc is one of the best healers for mythic+. RDruid and Hpally looking insanely good of course. My weekly highlight with disc was that the whole group survived the Aoe from the first boss in blackrook after 3-4 ghosts came through. Barrier and Epiphany to give everyone huge absorbs and we were able to kill the boss where arguably every other reactive healer would have failed. Since PwS places atonements on its target my artifact could top them pretty bursty with shism afterwads. Feelsgoodman

And disc has arguably the best burst heal for the group heal with schism and artifact

Yeah artifact does about 15% of a health bar on 90 second CD

This guy gets it...

That CD should definitely be lower. Does 4-5 smite's worth of damage with a full group of atonement and has 66% longer cast time than smite. Not bad but IMO does not warrant a 90s cd.

You can say it, go ahead. It's the worst relative to the other healers. Refusing to acknowledge that is a strange thing around these here parts.

Nice troll Thread hehe. Apreciated I must say.
I went from Disc to Holy yesterday. Ilvl 825. Wanted to check if it's as hard to keep up. After a few mobile fights where I failed miserably as disc (on Heroic have to point) , felt kinda fed up. Went in with not upgraded weapon and totaly rusty in terms of skills.... Felt like I landed in normal dungeon.
All those elitist defending Discipline - have you tried any other healing specc or class?
All those spammable spells all those insta - 0 - 100% hp cheap spells. 5 different AoE spells working way better than shitty atonement.
And to bury Discipline - Guardian Angel for the Tank and Divine Hymn for the party in "oh shit" situations.

Yeah you can heal as Disc but ONE small screw up or bad pull and you either BARELY prevent wipe or start corpserunning....

I feel like you're taking this to seriously... I never said disc was the best at 5 man mythics (Frankly i have no clue regarding the current "meta".)

I'm saying i was skeptical of the spec originally in 5 mans and was pleasantly surprised when it preformed as well as it did. I've now done somewhere close to 20+ mythics, and can safely blame all healing related deaths to my poor play and not the spec. Mind you when the group goes full derp and stands in breath on Helya people die.

This mindset people have about disc is really silly. Perhaps it is the worst 5 man healer (Once again i really don't know) but to say it's not viable for these entry level mythics is an exaggeration.

To the guy saying i created this account to troll you're wrong. I created this account after lurking forever on this forum and the priest wow forums (which are terrible btw...) My only goal was to get feedback on the spec i enjoy and hopefully improve as a healer.

Yes, you CAN do Mythics as Disc, but you're going to have a much harder time than any other healer.

I'm assuming you're running with a Warrior tank, because that's the only scenario where Disc would ever feel "incredibly strong" in a 5man.

Uhh just no.

Sounds to me like someone doesn't know how to use shadowmend with grace & ToF...

If you really want to play discipline on its full potential you should copy some mouse over makros. Icy veins is your go to source for that. If you are switching enemy and friendly targets all the time you lose so much time you otherwise would spend dpsing. Then you fall behind and cant put out the numbers discipline is very capapble of putting out. You also should communicate with your tank when he needs spot healing or cd's because a lot of tanks heal themselves and dont need constant spamming from your side. So put the heal where its needed or you simply steal the tanks healing and loose out on dps, therefore group healing, which helps no-one.

I hope i could help you. Im glad there are still people like you who want to invest some time into a spec. For all the “i only want to reactively heal and roll my thumbs in phases of no dmg incoming“ healers there is still holy (you are still missing out on potential since your serenity has a chance to spawn your personal naaru but i wont even go there). Please just don't think everything blizzard makes is an unbalanced disaster and rant about a spec you have little to no play time or you didn't look up some guides/charts etc.
If you just like the drama however i can recommend the shadow priest discussions where you don't need any insight of the class to rant.
Best regards

One thing I really thought about (since I spam Flashheal 80% during mythics as holy) was going to try disc with Penitent and Grace.
That way my Penance heals for 400k, and my shadowmend for 300k, both much more then my flashheal which heals for 170k.

But havent tried it now, guess I will miss ToL, HW:S and PoH.

Yeah because ToF + Grace + Mend will top everyone in one or two casts right?
And ofc you will do this all while sustaining atonement on your entire party, WHILE dodging random shit around.

I've played disc since it started being viable. I might play it again. But now, it's more like a funny gimnick, like shadow in Vanilla. You can play it, you might even do Mythic with it. But get ready for wipes.
