Discipline Priest — Build, Power Infusion & PvP
Discipline Priest is a spec about utility, mana efficiency and PvP. Pure Discipline heals less than Holy, so raids run it as a disc/holy hybrid for Meditation (mana while casting) and the tree's crown jewel — Power Infusion. In PvP, Discipline with shields and cheap heals is nearly unkillable.
Power Infusion is your contribution to raid damage: put it on the best mage or warlock in a burst window (+spell damage and cast speed for 15s). One Discipline priest visibly raises the raid's total DPS.

What this build is for
Discipline covers utility and PvP:
- Raid utility — Power Infusion on top DPS, Meditation for mana, instant shields.
- PvP and duels — Power Word: Shield, dispels, mana efficiency — the priest survives burst and wins on resources.
- Dungeons — preventive shields cut incoming group damage.
Talent layout
A disc/holy hybrid built for raid utility:
| Tree | Points | Key talents |
|---|---|---|
| Discipline | ~30 | Power Infusion, Meditation, Inner Focus, Improved Power Word: Shield |
| Holy | ~21 | Spiritual Healing, Improved Renew |
| Shadow | 0 | — |
For pure PvP, points go deeper into Discipline (Mental Strength, Improved Shield); for raids, a Holy dip for healing power.
Rotation and play
Pre-shield with Power Word: Shield before damage lands, keep Renew up, patch with Flash Heal. In a raid burst window pop Power Infusion on the top caster. Templates are in priest macros and priest rotation.
Stats and gear
