With the reveal of the Dragonflight Priest talent trees, our Discipline Priest writer AutomaticJak provides initial reactions and thoughts on this revamped system. We break down the Discipline Priest talent trees, discussing the new talents and providing some sample builds. Join us as we predict how this class could play in Dragonflight!

Priest Dragonflight Class Tree
Priest Dragonflight Talents - What’s New?
For the class tree, Discipline has some interesting damage synergies very early on.
Explosión mental
,
and
Palabra de las Sombras: muerte
synergies to increase their efficiency and defensive values from an early point. The spec starts off strong with hard breaks between damage and healing, even allowing Discipline to take advantage of a lot of synergies for
Renovar
/
Rezo de alivio
but strangely enough not one that makes
Rezo de alivio
an instant cast ability since that T2 trait was lost in Dragonflight.
Infusión de poder
of course returns, as well as
Gemelos de la sacerdotisa del sol
which are both required to spec through in order to get to the
Desvanecerse
defensive from Shadowlands'
Imagen traslúcida
. Almost everything in the Priest class tree is available in Shadowlands, the only difference is the options and selections being vastly improved.
Voluntad inflexible
is one of the few non-Shadowlands points and I omitted it earlier because it has such minimal impact for Discipline.
does not replace
Sanación relámpago
so you will not benefit from the reduced cast speed there, which leaves only
Punición
which already casts very rapidly.
Palabra de poder: vida
was one talent that I was incredibly interested in for Discipline as an overly safe option for Mythic+, but after testing, I am exceedingly disappointed in. The 20% health threshold is incredibly low, it seems to be a hasted cooldown for some strange reason and it doesn't seem to heal for very much even when used correctly. Would highly recommend a higher threshold of 40-50% health with a lengthier cooldown to properly be an "emergency button" to save an ally from death as opposed to a rotational key. Finally,
Renovar
does not seem to do much healing on its own, relying primarily on
Oración
procs to produce the "free" output, but with a cast time associated with
Rezo de alivio
this seems very unattractive for Discipline to take advantage of with any regularity.
Priest Dragonflight Talent Tree - First Impressions
The Priest talent tree looks to be fairly well-made but there are some major issues that I have noticed throughout my alpha testing. Firstly,
Purgar al maligno
does not replace
Palabra de las Sombras: dolor
which causes some annoying issues in synergistic talents as mentioned above. Discipline receiving
Rezo de alivio
baseline seems interesting but when there is a
cast time
attached to it, it starts making the ability less and less interesting for the spec to utilize. There are also major inconsistencies with damage dealing abilities in the class tree for Discipline. Mainstays like
Maligno de las Sombras
and
Juegos mentales
produce
Expiación
output, but
Reflejo cristalino
and
Prisma de Pirosombra
do not, making these options considerably less desirable.
With these new class trees it
looks
at first impression that the spec has gained some additional options or variety to utilize legendaries from Shadowlands that we frequently eschewed, but when they do not interact with
Expiación
or are supremely lowly tuned then there is no reason to even touch the surface of these other abilities and it feels almost like you fall back into the same-old song and dance. I believe that Discipline
must
have additional
Expiación
synergy in their class tree to promote actual variety in gameplay.
Discipline Priest Spec Talent Tree
Discipline Dragonflight Talents - What’s New?
Discipline has received a few new talent options but a ton of augments to existing talents. For
Expiación
modifiers there are increases to duration for
or
Palabra de poder: escudo
in
Desagravio
and
Indemnización
.
Pacto de las Sombras
is back with additional modifications, this time allowing you to cast Holy spells but at reduced effectiveness making the ability more flexible if you need to cast a dispel for example. Additional buffs for
Pacto de las Sombras
include duration increases and a spell-school change to
Penitencia
allowing it to be cast at full effectiveness during
Pacto de las Sombras
duration.
Purgar al maligno
is now independent of DStar/Halo allowing for additional DoT spreading and more consistent long-term DoT duration making it much easier to manage. Unfortunately it does not replace
Palabra de las Sombras: dolor
oddly enough, meaning that
Estertores de dolor
will not synergize with
Purgar al maligno
. Furthermore, DStar/Halo both have a Shadow-spell modifier with the one for DStar in particular dealing a hefty DoT which synergizes with
Pacto de las Sombras
but does not currently produce
Expiación
healing.
Cólera de la Luz
makes a massive return to the game for Discipline, allowing for an excellent burst alongside
Juegos mentales
staying on the Priest class tree as well.
Penitencia
has tons of modifiers allowing it to be a damage spell, to spread an additional
Purgar al maligno
, increase the damage from
Poder del lado oscuro
, and additional bolts from
Penitencia
in
Disciplina severa
. All of these modifiers allow for significantly more damage from baseline Priest abilities, shifting the power of your damaging abilities from covenant spells to baselines priest spells, more work needs to be done to complete this rebalance as
Expiación
output in general on Alpha feels fairly low but that is fairly normal in a 5 man environment.
On the utility side, Discipline will have access to
Proselitismo
AND
Indulgencia
for the first time ever. That damage reduction, paired alongside
Palabra de poder: barrera
will make Discipline even more powerful in a raid environment and could encourage double Discipline compositions if
Indulgencia
continues to be stackable. In Castle Nathria in particular, but frequently throughout raid progression, Discipline was heavily reliant on
Estimular
s to afford the high costs of powerful ramps. Now with the updated talent system, Discipline can flex into Holy talents such as
Esclarecimiento
to improve their mana regen. Even though
Luz y sombra interiores
is a mandatory pick in our talent tree, it does not seem to have as flexible of use as PvP because of the GCD restriction upon it, leading many Discipline Priests to just sit in the Inner Shadow form full-time instead of swapping stances.

Discipline Priest Dragonflight Talents for Raiding - How Strong is It?
View in Dragonflight Talent Calc
The above Discipline build is a fairly-standard setup that emphasizes
Expiación
extensions from
Proselitismo
to setup large scale burst output from
Cólera de la Luz
or
Juegos mentales
. It maintains strong damage reduction from
Palabra de poder: barrera
and
Indulgencia
while taking a ton of modifiers to increase
Penitencia
healing.
Notably,
Éxtasis
is omitted on the spec side. This could easily be taken in exchange for lower
Cisma
duration or less
Penitencia
damage. It feels very poor at the moment being forced into low-tuned
Palabra de poder: radiancia
buffs in order to get that 2nd charge of Radiance we are all so used to, and many of the modifiers for
Supresión de dolor
are just incredibly poor in value.
Exaltación
is quite terrible and the loss of additional
Expiación
extensions from
Éxtasis
is especially noticed, meaning
Coraza espiritual
is really never much of an option.
This tree feels fairly devoid of choice for raid gameplay. Trading out a bit of damage for some shielding but not really doing much to alter gameplay in substantive ways. From a raid perspective even the class tree seems a bit too focused/simple on what Discipline will select. There's no incentive to select increases to
Rezo de alivio
output like
Oración
when there is a casttime attached and zero
Expiación
interactions.
Nova Sagrada
is still a very poor spell and AoE damage doesn't translate well into healing.
In general this seems like a decent upgrade from the existing talent trees but there does need to be some polish added to low-tuned talent points like
Palabra de poder: radiancia
,
Supresión de dolor
, and
Éxtasis
supports to make them more desirable or just feel less-bad when being pushed into taking them like in the case of
Palabra de poder: radiancia
. On the Priest side there are many damaging abilities that do not produce
Expiación
output and if they did, they would be substantially more attractive to take.
Overall, Discipline looks slightly more defensive, similar in mobility, with more options to produced sustained
Expiación
output than the burst-heavy nature of Shadowlands and brings slightly better utility with
Indulgencia
. I don't expect many overhauls from here and I don't really think its needed for Discipline but I would like for the devs to very early on give attention to the rotten branches of the tree like
Reflejo cristalino
to make these options feel more like options.
