State of disc in 8.1

Maybe with weakened soul they can buff the amount absorbed by shield to find a middle ground.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Work on your positioning (aka stay in the back of a group, novel concept I know) and maybe you won't be hit with so many slows/get focused. Game is v hard these days for disc priest but I believe in u
 
I for one will freely admit that I get rolled by the constant stream of 4+ fury warriors on every horde team and absolutely crutch on shield spam.

Looks like shadow will be back on the menu boys. : )
 
Yes that still results in a nerf overall...I’m not disagreeing that we need a nerf but I’m trying to find a middle ground to maintain some sort of survivability while getting trained by fury’s with no way to get away. I stand at the back and keep my distance but get charged and once they’re on me I have no choice but to tank the damage, fear and they trinket and then its another 60 seconds having a fury beat on me.
 
Absolutely this but apparently it’s a l2p issue I guess, we should know better than to get in range to heal teammates because then we are by default in range of opposing dps.

Edit: Was quoting the reply above about shield spamming due to being trained by fury’s but it didn’t appear to actually quote it...
 
With focused will being a thing I don't think priests really need to be that mobile, as long as you are not running into 3-4 players alone and have a few allies to support you its not a needed thing. Priests are pretty sturdy ( I play a holy priest at 39) just focus a bi more on where you are.
 
I do try to focus on my location and stay out of the fray and yes disc is op, unfortunately we are no more op than fury atm and when nerfed I’m afraid fury’s will then steamroll everyone as they pretty much do already.

Positioning disc priests as the metaphorical wall holding the hordes of fury warriors at bay is an odd choice. But ok.
 
Ehh, fury and disc are clearly the most op in this bracket so a nerf to disc leaves fury alone at the top...
 
disc hands down is most over powered spec/class in any bracket. Obviously till end game where It starts to lack the overpower it has in lower brackets. If a class can live and out heal 5 twinks on them, bursting with everything they have that spec is broke. Aka disc.... No other class can come close to that disc does it with ease. So I hope the get nerded and nerfed hard. Fury warriors are simple to beat just need to play smart. So like the man said above probs your positioning if your struggling but hands down disc is most broken class idc what anyone else says everyone deep down knows it. But this is my opinion I wish they would get nerfed for the lower brackets so other specs/classes have even a chance. Not insulting You or anything just wanted to rant about how much I hate disc and how I feel they are at the current state. Ps fury only broken when have pocket healer and because of the proc weapons. If you get them to Los they will drop like flys

lol you priests act like legion disc without shield spam wasnt still strong as hell.

edit - perhaps you'll need to adjust from the uber confident front line play style you've become accustomed to while priest has been godmode since BFA patch
 
Disc deserves a nerf.
It does not need the strength of it's shield increased to make up for weakened soul.

You will just need to change your playstyle because you've clearly become lazy and used to playing with half a brain, it's difficult not to when you play such a faceroll class as disc.
The spec has 2 schools of magic to heal from. That's more of an advantage any other healer has imo.

Then you look at the damage disc do too... the whole spec is just a joke when you compare it to Holy and Shadow. On my 89 I can do more dps as disc than I can as shadow. I heal more than holy and I can tank more than anyone on the field. It's retarded.
 
The one downside to disc being nerfed is the increased difficulty to solo PvE raid content lol. Since disc is so op at lower levels it enabled me through very high damage to tank/solo some raid enemies(albeit slowly), after the nerf I doubt I can do that anymore, as no other spec will be as strong as pre-nerf disc was in terms of tanking. Heck I actually usually tank things better than a actual tank with high healing and 40% damage reduction. It was fun while it lasted I guess!
 
Disc cant die over 760+ days /played priest as disc alone, still here.
