Discipline Stats and Gear

Int > Resilience > 195 Spell Penetration > 4% Spell Hit > Spirit > Mastery > Critical/Haste

• D. Priest Mastery is a pretty solid stat.
• Reforge Crit & Haste into better stats
• Spell Pen can  come from Gems and the Cloak enchant.

How much Resilience? Less if your teammates take the pressure, more if you’re the center of attention. If you’re taking less pressure then you can use some PvE items in place of the PvP items. If you’re the center of attention then you should get the full PvP set.

Discipline Priest Gems

Unless a socket bonus offers intellect, it’s more effective to gem for pure intellect and ignore the bonus. Note that the 2nd choice meta gem requires two yellow gems. If you can’t afford (or find) the +50 Int gems then it’s not a big loss to drop down to +40 Int gems. If you seed more gold to buy more gems and stuff, then see our gold guide or WoWcrusher.
