70 Disc gear?

[Sassysasha]

Hi friends,

Does anyone have an up to date armory for a 70 Disc? Scoot seems to be in Shadow gear currently, or I'd refer to his. I've been looking at Ganerva's, which also looks correct - Ganerva @ Sunstrider - Community - World of Warcraft

Looks like he's in his balanced set of gear atm, which has a good mix of crit/haste/stam/sp

Ah, Lewis! How could I forget.

Thanks

you cant do much wrong with a disc

You have no idea how honoured I am to have you reference me for gear

But yes, I'm currently wearing shadow gear. It's perfectly viable to use the same gear for Disc, though it wouldn't be optimal.

I got a few pieces today from Sunwell, so hopefully I get lucky tomorrow as well.

Scoot, do you prefer using ~3 +68 crit gems, or ~1 +68 crit and ~2 +51 stamina as 70 disc? I suppose it's all preference. I may go ~3 crit, unless the stamina gems are a noticeable difference.

 

[Fx]

I like to run 19k+ unbuffed vs Rogues and Prot Pala teams, which requires a lot of stamina gems, so for that I just go 3 x 26 stam (they're downscaled, 51 is what they show as on armoury. Same with crit gems, they give +34).

vs Ferals and Elementals I like to run a more aggressive set with a balance of stamina and damage, mainly haste because the faster globals allow for more offensive dispels.

vs Hunters I ignore stamina and just go damage in every socket. Mainly crit.

You don't really face anything else in arenas.

I imagine with that said you have various gear sets? :~)

Despite playing this game since 2007 and doing arena most of that time, I've never tried swapping gear before the gates open. I presume due to even having multiple sets you can go ahead and switch gear before they open?

You'd probably be able to stack agi on a disc and be fine...

The most important part to note about Scoots damage set, is the 7 motes of water that he consumes before every game.
I hope all you priests out there are taking notes.

Yeah, ever since MoP you can see the comps you're facing before gates open, so you know what stats'll be important before the game has even begun. That, combined with the item set save option, make it very easy to swap gearsets around for different games.

Thanks for being so friendly, Scoot!

TI is in need of a 70 updated Disc guide, you should write one : )

For reference, these are the main sets I use as disc:

Basically, +15stam in every socket, +26stam gems from JC x 3, +16all from pearl, +8all from nightmare tear (probably going to replace it with a +15stam gem soon).

Red sockets are +5int/+10crit, except for the cloak and bracers, where I have the +12int JC-only gems. Yellow is +20crit and 2 x +24crit JC-only gems. I also use one +20haste gem in yellow. +26stam in blue head socket and prismatic belt. +16all in boots. +34crit in yellow belt socket.

And for feral and elemental teams I just mix the two sets 50/50.

Thanks for being so friendly, Scoot!

I might do that. I have spare time anyway.

I heard there was a positive correlation between Stamina and Arena Rating (only applicable to priests)

Is this still the case or are people starting to build more balanced set-ups?

You can play full stamina vs everything and you'll still be able to do alright on lower ratings, but if you want to climb higher you'll have to play with more damage, especially vs hunter and elemental teams.
