Hey figured i’d throw in some stuff about pvp glyphs. Personally i use penance, inner fire and dispel but dispell can be switched out for pw:s or ps if you want. There is really no wrong choice and i tend to change my glyphs based on the bracket im playing and the comp im playing. An example would be that when i do 2s (priest/mage) i run with holy fire instead of dispel and also spec into searing light because the comp requires the priest to play extremely offensively

[...] lately, PvP leveling and preparing for PvP have been a popular topic. In fact, Lilitharien over at Devine Agis has recently talked about the Glyphs for a new Priest which gave me the idea for a blog topic on [...]

@Gynx This is true, Discipline Priests do make amazing raid healers, too. You’d be surprised what we can do. :D After talking about gear I’ll probably cover the Roles a Disc Priest can play in a raid and how, for those who herd cats.

I’m using Glyph of Penance, Glyph of PW:S, and Glyph of Prayer of Healing. I replaced my Glyph of FH with PoH because my mana is never a problem and the extra HoT is extra spiffy, especially with as AoE crazy as the game is.

Really I don’t think raid healing as a Disc Priest is all that bad. I have my off spec as Holy and really found it easier to heal as Disc, which surprised me since I’d heard that all a Disc priest is good for is keeping the MT up. Lies I tell you!

Hmmm. I like this post. Very helpful, thank you!

I’ve been using Glyph of Prayer of Healing (I run heroics more often than not, not at all a raider) for the extra HoT, which has been helpful, but now I’m wondering if going back to Glyph of PW:S might be the better choice, since I throw shields ’round like candy anyway.

PvP’er here and I wanted to suggest for those interested in pvp to switch out PoH/FH glyph for Pain Suppression for Arena and Mass Dispel for Battlegrounds. So if I’m doing Arenas I go with Penance, PW:S and Pain Suppression and if I’m doing Battlegrounds I go with Penance, PW:S and Mass Dispel. I also have the luxury of having an inscriptionist/scribe that can make up a stack of each of those that I can switch them out depending on my PvP play for the day. …And thanks to Lilitharian for the blog post idea.

I’m also going to agree with the PW:S > Flash for raid healers. Also, some Disc priests find themselves swimming in mana, and nixing another mana-saver in favor of more throughput is a logical choice.

What Paolo said. :-)

When raid healing as Disc you’re unlikely to be using a lot of FH IMHO. As a generalisation PW:S is about 80% of my casts in 25 man and 50-60% in 10 man when raid healing. FH is <10%.

The small heal from the Glyph of PW:S is often overheal but you cast this spell so much not taking this glyph would be silly IMHO.

But otherwise this post is spot on.

Gobble gobble.

@Paolo Ah, so you prefer PW:S over Flash Heal. Duly noted. Thanks for your input!

Hmm… raid-healing disc priests are shield-spammers even more than they are PoH-spammers. I can’t imagine being tasked with raid heals and NOT having the shield glyph. Choice is actually pretty simple: glyphs of Penance+Shield+PoH.

And… after I just wrote that I armoried Mr. Matt himself to see what he uses, since I’m more of a tank healer myself:

Holy Nova is party-limited (your party at that), not raid-wide, so I really wouldn’t include it as a raid-healing glyph. 5-mans are really the only place it’s useful. :\
