How is holy for Mythic dungeons?

[Deleted]

You can just look up logs (https://www.warcraftlogs.com/rankings/9), and you will notice all healers seem to be fairly capable of doing their job (although MW is a little underrepresented, idk if it is because they are worse or require more skill or simply because less people are playing them, or both).
And holy priest together with druid seems to be a cookie cutter choice.

MW's still stronk, maybe it's just that Monks are way less played than Druids/Pallies (in general the 2 most played classes usually) and Shaman, which are somehow common nowadays?

Thanks again all for your input Now another question (and hopefully the last ):

Holy is gonna be my main but what spec should I invest as a second Artifact? (realistically I cannot have all 3 and sustain them)...

1) Leveling / Solo content / Farm old raids: Shadow or Discipline is better?

For leveling, Discipline is better due to its durability.

For solo content and farming old raids, Holy is really the way to go because its the only spec with decent AE damage. In old raids, your single target damage will exceed your need for virtually any encounter. In PvE solo content, normally you'll either be fighting large groups or single targets alongside all the other people doing the same world quest (where your ability to survive matters quite a bit, your ability to dps not so much). I suppose, worst comes to worst, you'll have to fight it out alone. But winning a fight 30 secs after a Discipline/Shadow Priest would have won the fight isn't a big deal when it's a single fight that it took you 10 minutes of travel time to reach.

2) Is it possible to require switch to discipline for a specific dungeon or boss fight (mythic dungeon) because it will be situational much better than Holy?

I can't think of any. Discipline's weak reactive healing and lack of available Atonement targets really cripple it in 5-man. It's entirely possible there exists some oddball boss I can't think of off the top of my head, but I can't think of any 5-man situation where Discipline is a better choice than Holy.

Thanks a lot m8. Really appreciate the info

If you're struggling in a mythic+, it is very likely your group is not doing what they are supposed to. And remember; CC stands for Crowd Control, not Constant Cleave like my guildies want to tell me...

lol, I agree. Holy feels really good and strong. I don't really have anything to compare it to though. I'm loving everything about Holy.
