How Discipline plays

Power Word: Shield before damage, Penance on cooldown, Flash Heal to fill, Prayer of Mending if you dipped into Holy. Power Infusion on the Mage or Warlock at the pull. Soul Warding removes the Weakened Soul problem so shields are your main heal.

Rotation and priority

  1. Power Word: Shield on the tank before every pull
  2. Penance on cooldown on whoever is lowest
  3. Flash Heal as the filler; Greater Heal with Inner Focus when the tank is low
  4. Renew on anyone taking light damage
  5. Power Infusion on a caster at the pull or on yourself in an emergency
  6. Pain Suppression on the tank for a boss's burst

Tips

  • Divine Aegis puts a shield on every crit, so spell crit is a healing stat.
  • Dispel Magic and Mass Dispel-style cleanses win more PvP fights than heals.
  • Fear Ward is trainable for everyone at 20 now; use it on the tank before fear bosses.
