Warning ! This guide is designed for level 90 discipline priests. It will of course be updated and completed with the addition of the "Gameplay" section after the release of Warlords of Draenor, once the maximum level has been raised to 100.
The Priest's Discipline specialization appeals to a lot of players, although it had some shortcomings at a very high level, it offers a game mechanic very different from the other healers in the game which make it a popular specialization for players wishing to heal a a little exotic way, namely, the absorption of the damage thanks to the shields, the small quick heals or the possibility to heal by hitting the enemies thanks to the passive Evangelism! The changes made with 6.0 are interesting and promise to make the Discipline Priest very fun and powerful to play in raid. How to play this specialization in an optimized way? Here are our tips!
Statistics
Intelligence> Spirit> Critical> Mastery> Multiple Strike> Versatility> Haste
Note the arrival of a new passive for the priest, Illumination, which increases your critical chance by 5% for all your spells, except Prayer of Healing which is entitled to a critical rate of 10%!
Talents & Glyphs
Once again, the talents are here as an indication, for the example below, we have chosen to use the specificities of the Discipline priest, namely, wounding enemies with Power Word: Comfort to heal your most allies. relatives. Same approach with Spiritual Shell, since the Priest's Disci spec is based on absorption spells, it was thought that this talent would allow the priest to be exploited to the maximum, anticipating maximum damage thanks to that.

In terms of glyphs, we tend to recommend Glyph of Penance for which allows you to use Penance while moving, despite a slightly increased mana cost. Glyph of Renovation and Glyph of Holy Flames are less "essential" but can help if you have spells on CD or are moving around!
Gems
Gemming your equipment will not pose a lot of problems here, just like the Holy Priest, it will be necessary to use the gems to increase your intelligence and your spirit, but also your critical strike chance!
Enchantments
The enchantments are exactly the same as that of the Sacred Priest here, no question to ask, we will focus on Intelligence and Spirit, and we will not hesitate to boost the critic a little!
