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.
Impacto Mental
,
and
Palavra Sombria: Morte
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
/
Prece da Recomposição
but strangely enough not one that makes
Prece da Recomposição
an instant cast ability since that T2 trait was lost in Dragonflight.
Infusão de Poder
of course returns, as well as
Gêmeos da Sacerdotisa do Sol
which are both required to spec through in order to get to the
Desvanecer
defensive from Shadowlands'
Imagem Translúcida
. Almost everything in the Priest class tree is available in Shadowlands, the only difference is the options and selections being vastly improved.
Determinação Resoluta
is one of the few non-Shadowlands points and I omitted it earlier because it has such minimal impact for Discipline.
does not replace
Cura Célere
so you will not benefit from the reduced cast speed there, which leaves only
Punição
which already casts very rapidly.
Palavra 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
Bênção
procs to produce the "free" output, but with a cast time associated with
Prece da Recomposição
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,
Expurgar o Mal
does not replace
Palavra Sombria: Dor
which causes some annoying issues in synergistic talents as mentioned above. Discipline receiving
Prece da Recomposição
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
Demônio das Sombras
and
Jogos Mentais
produce
Expiação
output, but
Reflexão Cristalina
and
Prisma da Chama Sombria
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
Expiação
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
Expiação
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
Expiação
modifiers there are increases to duration for
or
Palavra de Poder: Escudo
in
Solatium
and
Reparação
.
Sabá das 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
Sabá das Sombras
include duration increases and a spell-school change to
Penitência
allowing it to be cast at full effectiveness during
Sabá das Sombras
duration.
Expurgar o Mal
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
Palavra Sombria: Dor
oddly enough, meaning that
Agonia da Dor
will not synergize with
Expurgar o Mal
. Furthermore, DStar/Halo both have a Shadow-spell modifier with the one for DStar in particular dealing a hefty DoT which synergizes with
Sabá das Sombras
but does not currently produce
Expiação
healing.
Ira da Luz
makes a massive return to the game for Discipline, allowing for an excellent burst alongside
Jogos Mentais
staying on the Priest class tree as well.
Penitência
has tons of modifiers allowing it to be a damage spell, to spread an additional
Expurgar o Mal
, increase the damage from
Poder do Lado Escuro
, and additional bolts from
Penitência
in
Disciplina Rigorosa
. 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
Expiação
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
Evangelismo
AND
Brandura
for the first time ever. That damage reduction, paired alongside
Palavra de Poder: Barreira
will make Discipline even more powerful in a raid environment and could encourage double Discipline compositions if
Brandura
continues to be stackable. In Castle Nathria in particular, but frequently throughout raid progression, Discipline was heavily reliant on
Avivar
s to afford the high costs of powerful ramps. Now with the updated talent system, Discipline can flex into Holy talents such as
Esclarecimento
to improve their mana regen. Even though
Luz e 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
Expiação
extensions from
Evangelismo
to setup large scale burst output from
Ira da Luz
or
Jogos Mentais
. It maintains strong damage reduction from
Palavra de Poder: Barreira
and
Brandura
while taking a ton of modifiers to increase
Penitência
healing.
Notably,
Enlevo
is omitted on the spec side. This could easily be taken in exchange for lower
Cisma
duration or less
Penitência
damage. It feels very poor at the moment being forced into low-tuned
Palavra de Poder: Resplendor
buffs in order to get that 2nd charge of Radiance we are all so used to, and many of the modifiers for
Supressão de Dor
are just incredibly poor in value.
Exaltação
is quite terrible and the loss of additional
Expiação
extensions from
Enlevo
is especially noticed, meaning
Couraça 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
Prece da Recomposição
output like
Bênção
when there is a casttime attached and zero
Expiação
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
Palavra de Poder: Resplendor
,
Supressão de Dor
, and
Enlevo
supports to make them more desirable or just feel less-bad when being pushed into taking them like in the case of
Palavra de Poder: Resplendor
. On the Priest side there are many damaging abilities that do not produce
Expiação
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
Expiação
output than the burst-heavy nature of Shadowlands and brings slightly better utility with
Brandura
. 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
Reflexão Cristalina
to make these options feel more like options.
