WoW SoD Disc Priest Talents & Runes

Choose the following talents and runes in Phase 3 to heal dungeons and the raid Sunken Temple at level 50 as a Discipline Priest Priest:

Loading...

It is recommended to use Void Plague Void Plague over Strength of Soul Strength of Soul or Serendipity Serendipity. The other runes are of very little use in terms of performance as a healer. You’re more helpful to your raid if you can contribute some DPS with Void Plague Void Plague. If you don’t want to contribute to DPS in your raid, use Strength of Soul Strength of Soul or Serendipity Serendipity based on your preferences.

Use Circle of Healing Circle of Healing instead of Penance Penance if more raid healing is required.

⌛ Currently, we don’t have a Holy spec available for Sunken Temple. Disc Priest Priest is vastly more popular and currently the default choice to heal the 20-man raid.

Legend: Items marked with Icon have their focus on healing power. Healing power is a good choice if you are new to healing, at the beginning of a phase, or you play with PuGs where you don’t know what to expect. With more experience or a static group, “damage and healing” becomes more versatile. Depending on your situation you might want to use more items marked with Icon or a mix of both.

* Enchant your wrist with Enchant Bracer - Healing Power Enchant Bracer - Healing Power if you want to maximize your healing output, otherwise with Enchant Bracer - Greater Intellect Enchant Bracer - Greater Intellect.

Not all bosses in Blackrock Depths are available in Phase 3. We removed items from these bosses, like Eye of Orgrimmar Eye of Orgrimmar and Songstone of Ironforge Songstone of Ironforge. Furthermore, it looks like available bosses from Blackrock Depths are missing items that were added in later phases of Classic, like Mantle of Lost Hope Mantle of Lost Hope.

Note: Twilight Invoker's Shoes Twilight Invoker's Shoes has more healing output than Extraplanar Spidersilk Boots Extraplanar Spidersilk Boots, because it unlocks the 2-piece set bonus. If you want to use Extraplanar Spidersilk Boots Extraplanar Spidersilk Boots anyway, just sacrifice the two-piece bonus. Rakkamar's Tattered Thinking Cap Rakkamar's Tattered Thinking Cap can’t be swapped, because it’s too good.

* For Shifting Scale Talisman Shifting Scale Talisman you need to have Tailoring, Leatherworking, or Blacksmithing with at least 100 points into it. The quest starts at N'ora Anyheart in Ratchet.

Holy Priest Stat Priority

As a Holy Priest Priest you want to prioritize gear with the following stats:

  1. Mana per 5 sec (MP5)
  2. Intellect
  3. Spell Damage
  4. Healing
  5. Spirit
  6. Spell Hit Chance (up to 5% against enemies 2 levels above you like raid bosses in Level Up Raids)

The value of Spirit and MP5 decreases if you’re not running out of mana. Pure +Healing is generally less sought after in SoD compared to Classic Era. In Era +Healing would allow you to downrank your healing spells, while in SoD a lot of your healing power comes from runes and runes can’t be downranked. With improved gear from you and your raid, Spell Hit Chance gains slightly more value since you have more time to help with DPS.
