Discipline Priest: Rotation

Client build 1.60.1.70425 · updated

The Discipline priorities, top to bottom: use the first one that applies.

Healing priority (level 30)

  1. Power Word: Shield on the tank before the pull, and again whenever Weakened Soul is gone. With Soul Warding it has no cooldown, so shield several targets before group damage.
  2. Renew on whoever takes steady damage. Twin Disciplines adds 5%.
  3. Penance on cooldown for a spike. If nobody needs it, spend it on an enemy.
  4. Heal your efficient heal for steady damage on one target.
  5. Flash Heal when a 3-second Heal would land too late. Save it for emergencies.
  6. Prayer of Healing when three or more in one party are hurt. Aim it at that party: it heals the target's group, pets included.
  7. Dispel Magic and Cure Disease when a harmful effect matters.

Group damage

  1. Power Word: Shield on everyone who will be hit, before the damage lands.
  2. Inner Focus then Prayer of Healing: a free cast with extra crit.
  3. Prayer of Healing on the party that took the damage.
  4. Divine Aegis from 35, crit heals leave extra shields; it doesn't stack. Unconfirmed

Cooldowns and emergencies

  • Inner Focus 3-minute cooldown: the next spell is free with +25% crit. Never on Renew (no periodic effects).
  • Fear Ward on the tank just before a fear pull: it lasts only 3 minutes in Forever.
  • Fade if you pull aggro; Blizzard says its threat drop is doubled.
  • Psychic Scream to scatter what reached you; it can pull more mobs.
  • Power Infusion from 40: +20% spell damage and healing for 15 s on a caster partner or yourself. Unconfirmed

While leveling

  1. Power Word: Shield on yourself before the pull.
  2. Holy Fire to open: with Power in Light, Smite and Penance then do 10% more to the burning target.
  3. Shadow Word: Pain on anything that will live through its duration.
  4. Penance from 30, on cooldown as damage, or on yourself when hurt.
  5. Smite only with spell power behind it; otherwise wand instead.
  6. Wand to finish, and on anything already low.
