GET GEARED FAST! Disc Priest Gearing Guide for TOGC

with trial the grand Crusader rapidly approaching I figured now would be a good time to release a gearing guide for disciplined priests we'll be covering three major categories today the first is comparing the trial tier set versus the old war one and if it's worth using we'll then compare off pieces like trinkets Rings necks and others and be discussing priorities emblem uses and other tips for this phase a really quick note I'll be sharing the Google Sheets page in the description and pin comment so feel free to check that out as a reference whenever you want so to your sets while the Tog seeds here set obviously has better stats due to its increase item level it actually provides less overall spell power than the old war tier set due to losing on the four piece bonus of 250 spell power whenever you power with Shield which effectively comes out to 250 baseball power because you know discipline priest is a one button spammer class it takes no skill well that's just according to other jealous healers I wrote all the individual stats that you will gain from each piece on the left here and wrote out any minor changes due to bonuses from gems in the middle and then wrote out the effective differences from going from five pieces to tier 8 to tier 9. it comes out to 1 300 BHP 2010 Mana alongside 0.8 crit chance from the intellect you get 88 Spirit which amounts to a small amount of MP5 with some talents you lose 130 spell power due to the tier bonus that you're losing out on you gain a little over one percent spell haste and you also gain 1.22 crit chance from the crit which alongside the intellect crit chance comes out to about two percent extra chance at Christmas spells now is this worth it while it does include some nice bonuses losing over 100 of your primary stat and also getting a useless tier set bonus and increased empowered renew alongside a small upgrade in Your Divine Aegis procs doesn't feel too great The two-step bonus is a 20 buff to Palm which is great especially if you don't have an H priest in your raid as it definitely is stronger than a 10 crit of poh that comes from the tr8 two-piece two-piece bonus but you can't get two pieces of tier 9 and still run four pieces of tier eight what you can do is take one piece of tier nine as you can still preserve the four piece bonus for the rest of tier VII I'd recommend the chest for its high overall stat increases and spell power but the helm is another solid Choice legs provide a lot of overall stats but not as much spell power and shoulders and gloves are kind of matte you could also run something like Pharaoh gloves if you got lucky enough to get that as a Healer but if not definitely replace a higher item priority here going in the off pieces we will quickly run through each piece and list out how big of an upgrade it is and then also talk about some notes I made for each of them okay starting off with the neck it's only a minor upgrade going from charm and meticulous timing to whale of the valkyr you do gain crit instead of MP5 which is really nice in this phase as honestly a lot of the fights in togc aren't going to take much more than a few minutes the only fight being a new Brack and that's why it's going to be about five to six minutes if you're having multiple burrow phases realistically not gonna be a huge deal still though um if you're upgrading from pendant of the shallow grave it is a nice upgrade but you're only gaining about seven spell power um and you're also getting some minor increases in your crit and haste and in the uh stabbing and elect as well not overall a great upgrade but definitely something that we can improve if you haven't gotten a charm in particular timing but realistically without having the MP5 only healers are going to want it so if your Guild's still gonna be riding Old Wire and you get to something like that it's not going to be one of your top priorities to go from charm to whale up next we got the cape obviously Kate for every single class is pretty much gonna be the best because you're going from 252 item level to 272 at 20 the 20 item level increase is huge you're getting 20 spell power here uh effectively the 25 because now you're getting that red socket bonus because obviously you're this priest you're gonna be using red gems so you're getting at plus five from that as well so overall it's 25 spell power higher you're gaining 20 crit five stamina and 16 intellect and again crit over MP5 at this point you obviously might have to wait a while because well cloaks are gonna be in high demand you're only at one every week that you get a perfect run so it's gonna need to be you know if you don't get other pieces of gear you can probably kind of prioritize yourself to get the cloak I'm gonna do wrists and waist together here unfortunately there aren't many pieces that have high spell power that don't have hit on them so you're only going to gain a marginal amount of spell power while you're going to lose some optimization these two pieces don't have Spirit on them however uh so you are going to kind of it's not really a huge loss in terms of that other than that it's a minor upgrade for both of these if you do have a weaker piece like a 232 definitely prior that over other pieces especially if it's like shackles of the Otto list which realistically you're probably going to have grasp of reasons is pretty much wanted by most spell casters so healers aren't going to get prior for that so if you are stuck with shackles it is a nice upgrade going from that to binding uh with that let's move on with the feet there are several options that you might already have before whether that's boots of fire resolution from Hard Mode flame Leviathan or Treads of the false Oracle which is something that I use right now that drops off yag Starlight Treads is another option that can technically be used right now but it is a weaker item level uh boots of the morning widow though provides haste and spell power and spirit so it's gonna be highly contested so if you are stuck with something like Treads of the false Oracle right now it's really not a huge upgrade if anything you're losing out on some optimization with the crit uh all that for 19 you're gonna be getting 19 spell power off of that and you're losing a little bit of stamina to gain a little bit of intellect and then comparing with the boots of fire resolution which you're honestly only getting eight spell power from it's really not gonna be something you should be prior prioritizing there up next we got Rings uh rings and older are kind of weird where a lot of the 10 man items were pretty much just about as good as some of the 25 man options in terms of itemization so there really is a lot of options you could have here whether that's Starshine Circle Nebula band firework uh Signet or Signet of lost laminate the 258 items don't add a ton of spell power they do kind of offer options that are like you know bring the dark vendor which is it could be highly contested because of the MP5 it's pretty much a direct upgrade over Starshine Circle but again it's only a minor upgrade so really I wouldn't be wasting if you're on a loot Council uh Guild I wouldn't be wasting a lot of you know points on that or like you know your need rolls on that and I'm saying about gdkp it shouldn't be highly contested so after a few weeks you should be good to kind of just take that without too much of a hassle banded deplorable violence that's going to be kind of more highly contested by some of the spellcaster classes like Mages who want the crit and then also like locks who want Spirit like a demo Lock's gonna want this really well it's also dropping off a new Barack so it's gonna be something that might be gate kept if your girls able to clear it week one or two however these are you know there are upgrades you're getting a little bit of spell power there but it's really not a whole lot to write home about up next we got trinkets again you'll be keeping illustration of the dragon soul until heroic ICC stuff starts to drop uh it's just so strong with that base 200 spell power um ideally you're probably walking in the togc with show of Faith as long as you've gotten down yag it's giving you a great amount of spell power 158 obviously Souls of the fetus would make the upgrading to here uh the reason for that is because the MP5 in particular becomes a lot more consistent on it with show of Faith with weight this priests work we are pre-shielding people before the fight begins you're likely to have a lot of your procs already hit when you're not really actually wasting Mana because you know you're just pre-shielding people so you're kind of wasting that initial proc and then you're gonna get about that once per minute with the 50 second cooldown and only a 10 chance to proc while solo so defeated also just provides better MP5 over time over an entire minute you'll get 17 28 Mana from Solus while you're only going to get 816 Mana from show of faith and that's only if you don't get a product until the fight actually starts so Souls of the feed is a really nice item with that extra consistent MP5 you can definitely start to drop other pieces of gear that have MP5 in favor for pieces that have haste or crit on it that definitely obviously prefers is preferable in the long term as those stats provide more throughput than something like MP5 which only is going to help you with sustain so up next we got weapons no the legendary is probably not realistic even if your Guild's gotten out about two or three of these you might be starting to go towards a DPS like a boomkin or an Espress that can kind of use that Mysteries end also kind of is basically just about as good um the reason for that is the stats are all kind of lining up you see the equal spell power you're actually gaining more haste off misery's end as well as some stamina and intellect you are getting a little bit more crit on valineer and obviously getting that proc however if your guild already has two to three healers with it um they're gonna start overwriting each other and honestly it's a discipline priest your heels don't hit for as much because it's more about preventative damage so if anything yours is kind of wasted in terms of that so honestly at this point while it is technically this for your own individual output I would honestly go with misery's end and even going from misery Zenda for constellas you're gaining a good amount of spell power you're gaining 36 which is pretty nice misery's ends probably be pretty contested at first so you could go for something like that but they're gonna be sacrificing other pieces you're also losing out on a gem so really it isn't even really 35 spell power and something closer to like half of that especially with the new epic gems coming out so really I don't think it's as big of an upgrade other classes might view it as a bigger thing they might take advantage of that crit and haste a bit more than uh discipline priest does so honestly it's honor as ironic as it sounds I don't think weapon's a huge upgrade here for discipline priest over constellus and that should be something you definitely have by now drops off of algalon and hodir um in a lot of classes don't necessarily want it because of the MP5 on it so for the offhand this is something a little bit better about I'm still using the little Lantern thing you get from next ramus just haven't gotten lucky with some of the drops like iron mender Cosmos and honestly Cosmos shouldn't be going to a discipline priest first it is technically our best during old War uh with that super high spell power value especially compared to other pieces but it does have hit on it so it's obviously prior with other people who could actually utilize that uh the shallots though will also be sadly prioritized by classes like demo lock and mages due to a crit and spirit on it it does have more spell power though and has really nice amount of stamina and intellect on it if you can get it go for it but again if you already have something like iron mender or Cosmos it is going to be a nice smell power increase so get it if you can but if it's in a prioritization guild you're probably not getting it early on and then lastly we got wands honestly this kind of sounds stupid but the 10-man heroic item off of Freya the Petrified Ivy spring is honestly better than the rod of imprisoned Souls you're gonna get a ton more spell power especially with that socket you're gonna throw in there you're gaining obviously a little bit of stamina and intellect not enough to really make a big difference here it is better optimized with crit or haste rating on the rod of imprisoned Souls but honestly it's kind of a wash even a slight downgrade because again we prioritize spell power over everything else if you do have something like scepter of the lost souls or something from Knack still for whatever reason definitely could go go run Old Wire get that 10 man thing or go do the Turlock plus pluses you can get that petrified Ivy spring in there that's one less piece of gear you're gonna have to worry about okay so lastly we got some general tips and advice for prioring items in this phase because people are going to be spread out due to the nature of old war due to some groups taking a while to start clearing some hard modes and others just getting crap luck with drops most priests are going to have very different sets of gear going to togc because of that I would highly recommend looking at this list and seeing which items are the biggest upgrade for you as a general note look for the biggest spell power and item level upgrades for obvious reasons spell power is the best stat for you as hey server 154 won't be used while spamming power with shield and crit has uses but it's limited in terms of divine Aegis products and just general healing I'd also say to focus on getting rid of spirit and obviously hit pieces if you have any as those are wasted stats if you're someone who didn't get a lot of 10 man hard mode Old Wire loot you can also go and get some of those pieces by running the new heroic plus pluses and converting emblems to acquire it realistically you should only be getting a few pieces from this but it can still help your output and help your guild clear heroka Noob earlier and also save some lives and potential wipes leading the game those cloaks unlocked for some notes on what I've been prioriting and just a general note the cloak is obviously one of the biggest upgrades due to its high item level if you have a lot of other gear already and are in a loot Council Guild don't roll need or upgrade on many of the other things to artificially push out your time since your last piece of loot it might help you get proud for it I really like the sustained trinket Solace as it's a direct upgrade to show a faith and will allow you to drop MP5 gear elsewhere in favor of the other throughput pieces or pieces with crit or haste and as a reminder feel free to roll for one piece of tier just don't expect to get it super early as other classes actually want their full togc sets and it will likely and rightfully so be proud over you I would also not bother using the emblems for weaker variants it would only be a modestat increase okay that's all I got again I've shared the document the description and pin comment so feel free to check it out for reference I spent a good amount of time researching

my favorite thing about disc priest is that there's always one in the raid already.... which means yo ass is going shadow
