Discipline Priest

Discipline changes

• 
  NewPenance

  21-point talent. Two-second channel on a 12-second cooldown; heals an ally or damages an enemy.

• 
  NewSoul Warding

  16-point talent. Cuts the cooldown and mana cost of Power Word: Shield. Requires Improved Power Word: Shield.

• 
  NewRenewed Hope

  Raises crit chance of direct heals on targets carrying Weakened Soul, and shortens that debuff.

• 
  NewTwin Disciplines

  Row 1. Increases damage and healing from instant-cast spells.

• 
  ChangedDivine Aegis

  Critical heals create a 12-second absorb shield. Does not stack.

• 
  ChangedMental Strength

  Moved to row 4 and now raises Intellect by percentage rather than mana.

• 
  RemovedForce of Will

  Gone. Unbreakable Will folded into Silent Resolve; Improved Power Word: Fortitude is baseline.

Baseline changes — every Priest

These apply to Discipline too, regardless of where talent points go.

• 
  NewShadow Word: Death

  Baseline at level 32. Instant Shadow damage; if it does not kill the target, you take 10% of your maximum health.

• 
  ChangedFear Ward

  Available to every Priest at level 20. Previously a Dwarf racial — one of the oldest balance complaints in vanilla, now gone.

• 
  ChangedDevouring Plague

  Available to every Priest at level 20, no longer Undead-only.

• 
  ChangedDivine Spirit

  Baseline at level 30 instead of a talent.

• 
  ChangedPrayer of Healing

  Heals the target’s party and their pets, rather than only your own party.

• 
  ChangedRenew

  Multiple Priests can keep Renew on the same target simultaneously.

• 
  ChangedFade

  Threat reduction doubled.
