State of disc in 8.1

I have a 39 disc and I get blizz doesn’t balance around low level pvp but the weakened soul nerf is huge, shield spam is all I can do to combat the hordes of fury warriors on me. Unless they buff the amount of the shield we will he trained due to zero mobility I think. Very unfortunate cause I really enjoy healing as disc. What are everyone’s thoughts? Refill or will we be ok?
 
I won’t act like my priest isn’t broken at 39 and again I don’t expect things to be balanced at this level but I’m like a magnet for fury warriors in that I constantly have 1-2 on me with no way to get away, all I can do is tank them with shield spam and fear bomb every 60 seconds. Maybe I will give the feather talents a try like you mentioned
 
This really isnt worth complaining about unless you're playing 120 lol. 39 Disc will still be busted.
 
I get that, I’ve already said it, this will only add to fury’s utter domination in this bracket is what I’m saying
 
yeah disc is getting nerfed but mayb this'll make holy less shadowed

stack haste spam flash heals for quicker serenities or sumn might be cool who knows
 
Would love it if holy were to become on par with disc.

Disc will still be plenty busted...yeah fury is op, but if you are getting shut down nonstop I tend to agree with hash that it's probably bad positioning...or if you are solo queuing your probably not getting good peels & support from your pug teams, which should be pretty much expected.

Disc priests have been gods since cata. They could nerf them completely to the bottom and I wouldn't care.

Just stay with other healers if the DPS on your team aren’t going to help you out. Sooner or later they will wisen up and protect healers.

Learn to fake cast like other healing classes have to. Anyway priests still have 2 spell schools of healing, just hope your penance gets kicked and spam shadow mend. A healer isn't supposed to be able to easily survive 2+ people on them unaided.
 
Guess we will see, again I agree disc is currently op but with virtually zero escape mechanics it seems the class is designed to stand and tank damage. Short of a fear bomb every 60 seconds we are forced to just soak damage where it seems other healing classes can get away to cast a heal or simply get away from danger. Maybe with weakened soul they can buff the amount absorbed by shield to find a middle ground.
 
Fear, speed increase via talents, 2 different spell schools, Warstomp (if you're tauren).

Priests don't need any buffs, you just need to get better. This weakened soul nerf is well deserved.
 
Speed increase does nothing when we’re perma slowed and for the record I’m not asking for buffs big guy
