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!
To learn about the best PvE talent builds in Dragonflight for this class, and export these builds into the game, please check out our Discipline, Holy, and Shadow Priest class guides:

Priest Dragonflight Class Tree
Priest Dragonflight Talents - What’s New?
For the class tree, Discipline has some interesting damage synergies very early on.
Detonazione Mentale
,
and
Parola d'Ombra: 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
Rinnovamento
/
Preghiera di Guarigione
but strangely enough not one that makes
Preghiera di Guarigione
an instant cast ability since that T2 trait was lost in Dragonflight.
Infusione di Potere
of course returns, as well as
Gemelli delle Sacerdotesse del Sole
which are both required to spec through in order to get to the
Trasparenza
defensive from Shadowlands'
Immagine Trasparente
. Almost everything in the Priest class tree is available in Shadowlands, the only difference is the options and selections being vastly improved.
Volontà Incrollabile
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 Rapida
so you will not benefit from the reduced cast speed there, which leaves only
Punizione
which already casts very rapidly.
Parola del Potere: Vita
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,
Rinnovamento
does not seem to do much healing on its own, relying primarily on
Benedizione
procs to produce the "free" output, but with a cast time associated with
Preghiera di Guarigione
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,
Epurazione dal Male
does not replace
Parola d'Ombra: Dolore
which causes some annoying issues in synergistic talents as mentioned above. Discipline receiving
Preghiera di Guarigione
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
Spirito d'Ombra
and
Giochi Mentali
produce
Espiazione
output, but
Riflesso Cristallino
and
Prisma d'Ombrofuoco
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
Espiazione
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
Espiazione
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
Espiazione
modifiers there are increases to duration for
or
Parola del Potere: Scudo
in
Consolazione
and
Indennità
.
Patto d'Ombra
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
Patto d'Ombra
include duration increases and a spell-school change to
Contrizione
allowing it to be cast at full effectiveness during
Patto d'Ombra
duration.
Epurazione dal Male
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
Parola d'Ombra: Dolore
oddly enough, meaning that
Fitte di Dolore
will not synergize with
Epurazione dal Male
. Furthermore, DStar/Halo both have a Shadow-spell modifier with the one for DStar in particular dealing a hefty DoT which synergizes with
Patto d'Ombra
but does not currently produce
Espiazione
healing.
Ira della Luce
makes a massive return to the game for Discipline, allowing for an excellent burst alongside
Giochi Mentali
staying on the Priest class tree as well.
Contrizione
has tons of modifiers allowing it to be a damage spell, to spread an additional
Epurazione dal Male
, increase the damage from
Potenza del Lato Oscuro
, and additional bolts from
Contrizione
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
Espiazione
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
Clemenza
for the first time ever. That damage reduction, paired alongside
Parola del Potere: Barriera
will make Discipline even more powerful in a raid environment and could encourage double Discipline compositions if
Clemenza
continues to be stackable. In Castle Nathria in particular, but frequently throughout raid progression, Discipline was heavily reliant on
Innervazione
s to afford the high costs of powerful ramps. Now with the updated talent system, Discipline can flex into Holy talents such as
Illuminazione
to improve their mana regen. Even though
Luce e Ombra Interiori
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
Espiazione
extensions from
Evangelismo
to setup large scale burst output from
Ira della Luce
or
Giochi Mentali
. It maintains strong damage reduction from
Parola del Potere: Barriera
and
Clemenza
while taking a ton of modifiers to increase
Contrizione
healing.
Notably,
Estasi
is omitted on the spec side. This could easily be taken in exchange for lower
Scisma
duration or less
Contrizione
damage. It feels very poor at the moment being forced into low-tuned
Parola del Potere: Radiosità
buffs in order to get that 2nd charge of Radiance we are all so used to, and many of the modifiers for
Soppressione del Dolore
are just incredibly poor in value.
Esaltazione
is quite terrible and the loss of additional
Espiazione
extensions from
Estasi
is especially noticed, meaning
Involucro Spirituale
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
Preghiera di Guarigione
output like
Benedizione
when there is a casttime attached and zero
Espiazione
interactions.
Esplosione Sacra
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
Parola del Potere: Radiosità
,
Soppressione del Dolore
, and
Estasi
supports to make them more desirable or just feel less-bad when being pushed into taking them like in the case of
Parola del Potere: Radiosità
. On the Priest side there are many damaging abilities that do not produce
Espiazione
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
Espiazione
output than the burst-heavy nature of Shadowlands and brings slightly better utility with
Clemenza
. 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
Riflesso Cristallino
to make these options feel more like options.
