Only started watching but I can already see this is a clean and refreshingly simple guide that does not make a ton of assumptions about prior experience.
Instant sub! I've been away from WoW for several years and felt so overwhelmed by all the changes that I was tempted to shelve my priest and just roll DPS but with how simply you've explained everything here, I'm super excited to start playing around with disc! Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!
Oh thankyou so much Stacey!! If you do find it difficult (Disc is definitely not easy!) Then try out Holy, which is a lot easier and still really fun! Hope all goes well and welcome back to WoW!
@@JaviHeals Holy is definitely my comfort zone, it's what I've played since vanilla but with disc being so popular right now, I figure I'd see what all the fuss was about haha I just did a follower dungeon as disc and I'm not sure my heart could handle the stress for high end game content but it's definitely a ton of fun! Thank you again ^_^
I love how you make the core rotation visual, explain it and seems logical. No rotation addons needed after this. Subbed now m8. Best explanation vids I have seen. Back to my old main, priestie
@@JaviHeals yes ikr!!! Season 4 will be my experimental season to pick a toon to main for the next expansion. Recommended your vids to my guild to 😉 thanks again! Leaning towards Priest above all others atm.
Really good guide for a returning player like me. I just switched from Holy to Disc and this is really super helpful compared to other videos ive seen. Cheers 👍
Hollalooooya! (Pun intended)! Perhaps I'll be ready to step out of the shadows after-all (pun also intended!). Thank you so much for your kind demeanor, clear explanations, and the hope you have given me. Also, thank you for not blasting music in the background of this video (other guides have been quite distracting, but not you Javier!). Since 2004 I have always wanted to roll priest, so far it has been a blast but I'm still too scared to run dungeons. However, with a little more practice and your guidance- the light will shine on Spunky again. Seriously, thank you for all the time and dedication Javier, thank you.
These vids are a gift. Very respectful and very very well explained. Helped me alot with returning to wow (played from tbc to legion) but so much classes have changed and these video’s are my start when trying a new class.
@casaspadel on pull, it’s usually my first few casts, pre pull is setting atonement’s, first few post pull casts are PtW, I get it on like 3-5 targets and than cast a penance to spread it if needed and than get into my actual dps/heal rotations. I like to look at it as a Druid’s rejuvenation, get em up, get em rolling and forget about them until it’s time to reapply it if you talent into it, I think penance can extend the duration of them, tho not taken in every build that’s out there currently.
Damn man, after 20+ Disc priest videos i finally found something i cna relate and understand holly shait bro thank you!. Could I please have one small (kind) request? Is there any way I could import your UI as is in the video? It seems sooo nice and easy to follow through that it blows my mind.
Hey! So glad it helped!!! Regarding my UI , you can get it via import string in my discord (YT members & Patreons only though). It took me a long time to build so It's something I like to offer as a thankyou
Great guide! Two questions though, do you recommend constantly keeping atonement on my party while M+ or just the tank? and if so which skill do you say should be used to keep those atonement up? Thank you
Depends who needs healing. Also don’t feel like you absolutely must 100% heal through atonement. Flash heal & penance are fine here and there for example for minor healing. For which skill - Radiance is fantastic in M+ as it does 5 people, has 2 charges & is on a 15s recharge so should be up a lot of the time! Hope that was helpful
Disc priest is a reactive healer, in m+ you basically want to keep PWS on cooldown on the tank. As far as the rest of your party, you’re going to need to know the pulls and the damage they do and pre apply atonement if aoe or group wide damage is coming. As a disc priest once you start casting non instant cast flash heals for healing, you’re in trouble. While in 10.2 the rotation of disc priest got a lot easier and less rampy, there is most certainly still a ramp style play to the class. For big aoe group dmg you want to pre cast pws on tank, I usually get renews on the rest of the group before the pull and the ramp is radiance, mindbender, Mind blast, pwd, dark reprimand, halo, smite until one of the ladder spells comes off CD. You’re mindbender cleaves on targets when you cast mind blast and swd so you want to get as many of those cast while your mind bender is active. Flash heal should really only be used when it’s instant cast or between pulls to top your group up. Penance should only be used as a heal if there is only one person who needs healing, you loose significant value casting it on a friendly rather than an enemy. PWL is no longer taken as the other choice on the node gives a more consistent throughput. As far as ultimate penitence, it’s a cool spell, fun to use and does decent dmg/healing. This spell can and will get you in trouble if you are using it at poor times.
Throw a shield on the tank and if group damage is low your smite with the 2 piece tier will extend the tanks attonment by 2 seconds per smite. Flash heal will put attonement on you if you have binding heal so keep that in mind. During heavy aoe healing I will radiance and start my mind bender window and then sacrifice one of my torments to recast radiance half way through the window. Best advise I can give is practice that mind bender window on a dummy and know exactly how many penance and deaths you can get in the window for inescapable torment. Your dps window will look like this, bender-mind blast-penance-swd-smite until penance is up-penance-smite until penance and or death is up. Should get 5-7 torments from the mindbender depending on if you have the tier 4 piece. Overall great guide.
I suggest looking up automaticjak or justdiscipline. They are actually disc priest healers and know what they are talking about. Justdisc plays a little different build than most people but he knows what he’s doing, and has a lot of good thorough information in his videos.
Bro, you are a live saver, no other video for beginners covers this... as a new wow player and a 2 day old disc priest, I approve.
Glad I could help!
Only started watching but I can already see this is a clean and refreshingly simple guide that does not make a ton of assumptions about prior experience.
I really appreciate that buddy!
Fantastic guide! Disc priest has always looked so confusing to me but you just explained it all so perfectly. Really enjoy your guides 😃
Glad you enjoyed it!

Wow, thanks! A real beginners guide, can't find the words to express my gratitude. Great work!
You said all the words needed, thankyou I really appreciate this!!!
As someone returning to wow it’s a great refresher!

Good luck! I actually filmed another Disc video today and remembered how much I love it too!!! :D

Keep up the Great Work!
You have an excellent format for your descriptions of each class and spec!
Glad you like them!
Love your stuff man! Always good to help folks with the basics than assume everyone is doing +25 keys :)
Absolutely buddy!! Thanks!

I love this, you explained it perfectly, I went and killed 2 bosses WITH EASE on my first test (remix).

ty sm. short nad very helpful ! loved it
LOVING THE VIDS MAN!! KEEP IT UP! When are you doing Sub rogue?
Next week! I have already been practicing 😁
You didn’t talk about purge the wicked dot, you don’t use it or just throw it on a few targets before getting into your main rotation?
You’re gonna want it on as many targets as you can get it on, it’s free healing basically

i don't know about reactive, probably proactive. reactive to me is more hpal, holy priest (not disc), and shaman.@@dylan24848
excellent tutorial, thank you
You are welcome!
If kinda like to see it in action. It's nice to see the explanations, but how do they all interact?
Great vid!! Thanks!!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks dude!
Happy to help!
What interface and addons are you using apart from WeakAuras?
It looks nice and clean as well as functional.
A custom ElvUI profile I made
Is it downloadable or just for you?@@JaviHeals
ive been trying this for a week now. i am 470ilvl and only popping 60k hps, everything exacly as you said to do, still bad heals.
Awesome guide. If you can help me learn a class, you can help anyone hahahah. Well done mate
Thankyou!
My favourite, thank you
No problem! I know you wanted Holy Pal too… hopefully that wont be long away 😁
@@JaviHeals thanks matey
So do we Purge the Wicked or nah?
Really helpful! Do you think you’ll do fury warrior?
Yes all Warrior specs. Arms is out and Fury coming next week! 😁
Completely forgot the dot Purge the Wicked which is extended and spread with atonement but good otherwise!
i would like to know what frames do you use!
ElvUI
Anxiously waiting for that Fury Warrior DPS Guide 👀
Don't worry, It's coming I promise! :P
@@JaviHeals thank you! 🙏🏻 Your Shaman guides saved my Shammy main from a delete lmao
@@Vintian oh thankgod! I saved a life!!! 😂
fury is easy af compared to disc, u press like 4 buttons for your rotation
Will you make a advanced guide for disc priest for mythic plus please
I suggest looking up automaticjak or justdiscipline. They are actually disc priest healers and know what they are talking about. Justdisc plays a little different build than most people but he knows what he’s doing, and has a lot of good thorough information in his videos.
Why Vers over mastery? WoWhead has Mastery over Vers.
i dont get how to install that addon
Join my discord and ill show you if u need❤️
