Priest twink - holy or disc?

[MetalIllness]

Like the title says, I'm gearing a level 19 priest, nothing special yet, been enjoying holy so far but wondering which would be more viable in which occasion. I've personally grown to love holy word: chastise and desperate prayer but can see the benefits in stronger shields and penance too. So far it's on a quiet realm so all I do for now is a regular duel (actually just beat a level 30 loomed rogue on it ) but when I get the chance (money, time, chance for more matches) I'd definately consider taking my priest more seriously.

Right now it has around 300 spellpower and 1500 health with own buffs, no AGM yet.



My level 85 main's a priest, which is why I created a level 19 priest in the first place.



ps. I don't think it's a wise idea to say I ditched a level 19 warlock with Sacred Burial Trousers, Inferno Robe and Jutebraid Gloves for it?

I personally prefer to play Holy as well Chastise is not only nice as a peel i also like using it to set up a fear. Desperate prayer is nice when taking damage while trying too keep someone such as the FC up, I prefer the 15% healing in holy tree to the 20% on bubble not only does it help more when you have to resort to spam healing to keep someone up but if your not the only priest around then that bubble could go to waste.

Try both and see what fits your playstyle.



I prefer having Chastise and Desperate Prayer. I like Penance but have survived more sticky situations with the extra CC Chastise gives.

i agree with them, although i have never had a twink priest, when i was leveling one through the bracket doing wsg I found chastise to be more useful than penance.

If you'd like to be more of an offensive player, then I'd suggest trying Disc.

Id like to see your armory, my priest only has 1200 hp with 200 or so sp, and hes loomed out.

imo the ideal set up for pugs if you don't use hit pots, I switch to gravestone when I'm concerned about fears also you could put on crit wand/boots when your just straight healing.

I'd say Disc is a safe bet to go.

I liked holy, but have switched to disc

Comments considering you've played both sides of the fence?

Thanks for all the info. I thought the Furbolg Medicine Pouch + Devout Aurastone is still better?



Also, I personally love playing a holy priest twink, BG procs don't seem to ever happen, right now I do an occasional duel, perhaps I can realm change my priest to a more active realm once I have a bit of a safe chance for it to be worth the effort.

.

ATM the extra int from staff along with crit is more beneficial then the little stam from pouch mostly due to the increase in heal amounts making crits more valuable and the ability to get crit without sacrificing major stats has increased. Also with the change to heal crits next patch will make it even more desirable.
