Disc Priests Love

[blast3r]

BTW, here is my current DPS macro. Suggestions appreciated!

/castsequence reset=8/target [nochanneling] penance, Shadow Word: Pain, holy fire, renew, Power Word: Solace, smite, smite, smite
/cast [nochanneling] [target=targettarget] Power Word: Shield

Tried any pvp with this group yet? Disc priests are hard as hell to kill in Bgs let alone four of them

The problem is that IWT for any class without a melee spec is awful. So with Priests you have two spells that can make you auto face (maybe more I can't think right now). If I see a boxer with a class that requires facing to cast, then I really know how to screw with them. Priests are fun, but actual implementation isn't as nice.

sounds like a fun setup im thingking about getting back into boxing and want to play 4 or 5 healers so i can have som fun in lfr maybe even join a casual normal mode guild but cant decide what to play i like the idea of 5 heling rains alot but as op as disc is atm it might be better

My disc priest macros (four steps)


1:!if (character in "Priest Disc") /castsequence [@focus] Prayer of Mending, Power Word: Shield, Prayer of Mending, Prayer of Mending, Power Word: Shield

2:!if (character in "Priest Disc") /cast Holy Fire

3:!if (character in "Priest Disc") /cast Mindbender

4:!if (character in "Priest Disc") /castsequence Smite, Penance

For five man fights you can put a second smite in the last castsequence, I don't like to do a full just "smite" on its own because it tends to hinder the rest of it flowing smoothly and being used whenever the other abilities come off cooldown (because of the way that /cast queues work, I imagine).

Actually IWT faces them the direction they need to go. It will also walk them a bit if the target is out of range and seems to stop when they are in range of the target.

Thanks for sharing that!

I just cleared Violet Hold at level 72 with no deaths. Not even near death. Love this team.

This thread inspired me to try 1x warrior and 4xs disc priests and holy cow - amazing! The lower level dungeons aren't generally tough even when boxing, but in placeswhere I usually die at least once (first boss in Scarlet Halls, for instance) I didn't even come close to dying. 4x renew on tank + shield and renew/shield on everyone is just so dang overpowered. Awesome suggestion, curious how well this will scale.

All my priests (four) are attonment disc.

8 disc priests + 2 tanks could probably zerg Algalon for the achv that requires low gear. DPS is amazing at 80 atm

What a great idea! I have a team with two disc, two destro, and a feral tank in the low 70s and planning to lock them at 80 and work on herald sounds like a fun goal for this month. I've heard that the best way to gear out is to mostly gear up from the 225 gear in the ICC 5mans and then use that for ulduar.
