Disco priest, gem+gear

Wastedpriest of Lesser Gods on Bladefist server: SEARCH Wastedpriest on armory yourself, this frikin piece of shit wont let post any links!!

Gems

Red: 23 SP
Yellow: 20 INT
Blue: Someone says, 12SP+10 Spirit, other say 12SP+5MP5, 12SP+10CRIT, 12SP+10HASTE. What should I stack?

Should I stack INT up to a certain level, then go over to more of those "50/50" gems? How much SP should I get?


Gear

Would you recommend a staff or MH/OH?
Only decent healing MH I found(aka without hit rating): Lockjaw from 10 man Rotface. Midnight Sun from Lootship 10 man. Trauma from Rotface 25 man.
Off Hand: Scourgelord's Baton from Deathwhisper 10man.
Only one that I can actually get, seeing that ICC25 pugs almost never go past Saurfang>.<.

Or a staff?
Maghari Chieftains Staff

I've seen disco priest with Midtnight Sun and Scourgelord's Baton as MH/OH, and I've seen priests with that staff. So what is best for disco? What should I be aiming for?


HMM, omg soz for NO LINKS, this shit wont let my post any ffs. Go w w w DOT w o w h e a d DOT c o m )))))

red: sp
yellow: int (if your more a spam shield disco) or sp/haste (using shield mostly for tanks and doing pendance greater for healing)
Blue: sp/spirit (never mp5)

go mh/oh

[xcitu]

Ok, thanks alot, will do that then. Int+SP/spirit for me then.

[Tylanir]

I hate you because you typed 'Disco priest' instead of 'Disc priest' or 'Discipline priest'

Seriously, where the fuck did the 'o' come from?

[inzide]

What? mp5 is better than spirit for Disc, go for Spirit if you are planning on going Holy Later on, if not go for mp5.

[deadjack]

because of the meditation talent, priest got more mana in fight from spirit than mp5

come on disco priests let´s party!

[Cjeska]

because of the meditation talent, priest got more mana in fight from spirit than mp5

It's roughly the same, the difference is so small and tiny that there is no real reason to prefer one over the other. (I will always gem spirit over mp5, mp5 for a priest still seems very odd to me, but it's gonna be the same stat anyways in a coupls of months, who cares)

gemming sp/mp5 in the blue ones atm , but wil change to spirit soon enough as i got 2.3 k int in raids
and for yellow i would say go sp/int sp is always yummy to increase the shields

Flat SP in every socket.

Flat SP in every socket.

good luck not ooming in the first 2 min of a boss ^^

Thats why we have shadowfiend.

[k0smos]

got only red +sp, I never get oom at bosses.

[Spanners]

I also gem full red SP and rarly have mana issues. Some people swear by it with rapture stacking, but ive never really tried for it and have no issues! shadow fiend and hymn is a full mana bar.

But from my experiences int is better than spirit/mp5 in mostly all cases, i would only suggest gemming spirit/mp5 if your duel specced holy/disc or are planning on every playing holy in that gear.

[ahtrend]

i gem plenty of sp/int gems to get a good mana pool up for more regen , and tbh i oom all the time , ofc spamming shields over the place , so duno about pure sp gemming for my healing style

[Azyoulike]

I'd agree with the consensus that you should't be gemming any +Int at your gear level. It really hasn't been necessary since Ulduar.

The choice comes down to +SP in yellow sockets and +SP/Haste depending on the quality of the socket bonus and how often the holy offspec is getting used.

As to weapon, well we take what we can get - for Disc you just want the most SP you can get, but the Maghari staff is extremely nice for Holy - and if gemmed for +SP completely viable for disc.

Disco fever

[Ubick]

Azyoulike has a very strong point.

[Velocet]

Royal dreadstone is better than purified dreadstone by 0.4mp5. I'd suggest using purified if you have an OS disc or holy which you play frequently.

Gemming for mp5/intellect is of course only beneficial if you find yourself running oom, so it's a decision you should make whether to gem full SP or not. Just because someone else doesn't run oom doesn't mean you won't.

[DeltrusDisc]

I like:

Red: SP.
Yellow: SP/Haste or SP/crit. I have more than enough mana.
Blue: SP/Spirit.

The only time I just gem a full red gem in all the slots on some piece of gear is when said piece has a socket bonus of 5 SP or less.
