Good Afternoon BIS Horde Disc Priest

Tattered Dreadmist Robe has crit. Crit at 85 is the least desirable stat for a disc priest. Is this any different at 20? I would think the Je'neu's Robes would be BiS. 7 spirit vs 7 crit. TDR does offer more stam than Je'neus' Robe though.

Also Firebelcher > Wind Rider Wand. +1 more stam/int. Hit isn't important since spirit = hit. My build gives me 5.96% with is more than enough for my offensive abilities. I don't believe there is actually a disc hit cap either, is there?

Any thoughts on this? I want my toon BiS so any and all advice is helpful

Spirit = hit only for Shadow Priests.

Here is my priest. As far as that setup, I also switch between Grand Staff of Jordan (mainly against 24's or while FCing) and I would be running Inherited Insignia of the Horde (but I have the Discerning Eye of the beast equipped as I was running dungeons and needed as much mana as I could get)
Basically missing Mindthrust or any of the better bracers, but the crystaline have spirit so its not bad. AGM is not very important on a priest IMO. We need the 10 spell pen, and the Insignia is very key. (I will switch out insignia to the Eye of the beast *+6 int* while my insignia is on CD sometimes but the 6 resilience is nice). I guess you could switch the insignia with AGM if you wanted to just for the 12 more stam.... But It's to much of a pain in the ass for me to bother getting. Also, as you can see, I only have the light armor kit. I am lazy, but if you want to be BIS, get he 16 armor kits. I will do it eventually haha.

Dont have Mag mantle, but if you break it down between all my Resilience, I am at 9% reduction (with GSJ), so I am not missing much. Still trying to get MM for FCing though (and probably just running in general).

My normal Setup I run that is different from what I have linked is just he +8 stam cape, and the +3 necklace (and the Inherited Insignia), just for that little bit of extra HP. Sitting at 2175 mana with the stam stuff on (without wiz oil or int pot) so, its not too bad. I have different gear sets depending on what I am doing (dungeons more mana, and BG's depending on what my team is like and how many hunters alliance side has haha)....

Hope I could help. If not, well that sucks for you.

- Ohh sorry about the terrible mogging going on..... Still trying to find something I like, so I figured I would just look terrible meanwhile.

I prefer Je'neu's Robes because spirit is static. Heal crits will save you mana, but you can't rely on them.

The Firebelcher is certainly not BiS for any spec. As Shadow, you'd want to use Tattered Dreadmist Robe over Je'neu's. Regardless, you won't have enough spirit to get hit capped via Twisted Faith anyway.

You want hit cap regardless of the situation, Psychic Scream missing 4% of the time is ridiculous. You should be running GSoJ over DHC, or at least running Lavish/Unturned Boots in its stead.

Ya, I have many different setups, it just depends on what is happening for me. I use GSJ mainly now, it just depends on what is happening. If we are doing really well in a BG, Ill go to DHC just for the extra crit and mana. GSJ is BIS though.

I was referring to disc only. I do prefer the Je'neu's myself. I was just wondering why a 'BiS' priest had a hit wand instead of the minimal upgraded firebelcher. I get the point. Priests have many setups and playstyle's. I just need the mindthrust bracers, LFH, and insignia and I'll be 100% happy. Thanks for the feedback EDIT: Still waiting on my satchel cloak too. But i have a feeling I'll be swapping them out from time to time.

If you want to do any dps with Disc, u need hit... Trust me. I would know. Wind rider= BIS in my opinion.

I do play very offensively and my current build keeps me at hit cap without the Wind Rider Wand. Thanks

10 spell pen > AGM indeed. AGM isn't really 'necessary' for any class. All arguments aside, spell pen is too good not to have for a priest. EJ and Arena Junkies confirms
 
lol @ comfirming with AJ

all it takes is dying from Kill Command because your fear got resisted.


Ofc, you can't use AGM or elixers in arena so Mining is understandable
