EU+US How do I deal with discipline priest?

BALLISTIKZ

Grandfathered
Ok hi guys I am new to this forum(*a friendly tinker told me to register here) and I am playing my trusty F2P warlock right now just trying to get the spellpower staff

Right now I am having trouble with most classes and it looks like Warlocks are more team-oriented so I just stick with my team since I cant really do much solo but I tend to do good team-wise and objective-wise :0

I know low level healers always had an enormous advantage in abilities and healing-wise(i remember killing twinks as a non-twink) but this is just so lopsided and absurd

The problem I am having is my spells are so short-ranged while theirs can be cast from 45? yards away and while they shielded by their teammates so it makes it very difficult to reach them

Seems to be a broken game flaw/mechanic when Cataclysm hit. Priests got revamped and Warlocks didnt I am a sad panda

I dont really have a void hound to send at him to dispel since we only get an imp and succubi. Also they removed being able to put 4-5 dots on people and keep them feared. What sorcery is this

They also leave this ghost? when you thought you killed him they got what 9 nine lives?And then you see them running across the battlefield

I dont really care for shadow as most seem to be n00bs and just dont heal themselves or do it at the last moment and that is when I spam fear > : )
Holy seem to also be noobs
But Discpiline is a real pain right now.

I know shaman dispel is one good way but that is also very short ranged so maybe should I swap classes or tough it out until I get my staff? Does it get better? Hunter still have dispel on Arcane shot? I thought about making a hunter with Uber fast pet for pushback and dispel with arcane
Right now I am also playing Goblin for the rockets if this helps.
Just want to see these Priest's blood paint the Gulch

Thnx

Warlock is the weakest class in the bracket. You won't be able to deal with Disc they are the easiest healer to play and tend to be able to outheal any single DPS. You will need help to kill them on most classes

Hunter, Rogue, and Feral are best dps for 20s. But do what is fun. Also helps if you roll a 29 instead of f2p, for example enhance shaman gets stormstrike at level 26 and BM monks get guard at 26

^ This.
All but impossible to single DPS down even an average Disc Priest. Only chance you could have is if you have the healing debuff up on them or dispel / remove their Shield, but even then, 1 v 1 they are very difficult. As a Hunter I like to get a pet with the Mortal Wounds debuff. I don't know a lot about Lock's, but I know Warrior's can also trigger that effect.
I've been mucking around with a F2P Disc in recent times, and notice in bg's it quite often takes 3 to 4 toons to drop you. Even 3 x P2P Hunters were struggling to down my F2P Disc Priest, and on top of that, I was still DoT'ing up and pushing out DPS while being trained by the 3 x Hunters - lol. Took the Blood Elf Racial combined with the 3 x DPS on me to have a chance to drop.
Regarding Lock's, I know you are F2P right now, but I'd say if you want to play Lock and have a chance against Disc Priests, you may need to consider making a 29 Lock with FelHunter.
Or, if F2P, then wait for some others on your team to attack the Disc, then join in and throw everything at him, it's the only way. 1 v 1, he will not only laugh at your DPS and outheal your attempt to drop him, he'll burn you down with his DoT and Penance.
Good luck painting the Gulch ;)

Why is Fel Hunter relevant to this discussion? They have don't have CS or Dispel.
 
i am sure the fel hunter has dispel. Did they remove that too :eek:


i could just sic it on the nearest priest to petattack
but then no you dont T_T

priest just sat there and spammed heals without any mana management. Spell pushback is really weird too I have trouble getting a cast off while they seem to cast non-stop even with 4 hunter pets mauling them. and my succi.

i give up :D

Like I mentioned, I don't have a lot of experience with Lock's, but I thought the Fel Hunter used to eat magic abilities including shields, but just checking on WOWhead, those abilities don't seem to become available till higher levels, so possibly the 29 Fel Hunter doesn't munch magic. Certainly when I used to play end game they would munch off magic abilities.

Sorry Ballistikz, you'll have to cross your fingers the Disc Priest is an un-geared noob to stand a chance to drop him :mad:
 
You're not going to solo a disc priest ever. What you can do in a team fight is put your fears/seductions into the priest or help burst him down with an immolate up and chaos bolt double conflag with your pet attacking. Spam fearing his casts when your teammates don't have interrupts can help kill a priest as well.
 
Feral can solo a disc priest or run something like panda rogue for big burst and the stun

its undoable on the 20 lock, but my tip would be, play with a level 29 ret paladin who is offhealing bigtime and use hoj/fear as demo to win quite easy against discs by not letting them cast as much as is necessary to live (lock pally really overpowers shit with cc and doesnt have to be done properly, it just will happen as long as u use ur spells, against everyone whos not organized(99% of skirm teampops))

or an enhance 29, or go with a resto shaman or disc & try to do your best utilizing every mechanic the healers offer but it won't be enough as a 20 f2p lock sadly, its like a bottom/mid tier @ 29 even so 20 is a rough time.

apoligies
