Priest PvP Builds

• Shadowpriest PvP – For the pain
• Discipline Priest PvP – For the relief of the pain

Gems

All Priests will Gem for pretty much the same thing: Int. Int provides the most “bang for the gold piece” of any stat. Gemming for Mastery or Spirit is an option, depending on your spec and situation.

• Red:
  • Brilliant Chimera’s Eye: +67 Int, requires Jewelcrafting 500
  • Brilliant Queen’s Garnet: +50 Int
  • Brilliant Inferno Ruby: +40 Int
• Yellow:
  • Mystic Cogwheel: +208 Resilience, requires Engineering 525 and Engineering helm
  • Mystic Chimera’s Eye: +50 Resilience
  • Mystic Lightstone: +40 Resilience
• Blue:
  • Stormy Deepholm Iolite: +63 Spell Penetration
  • Stormy Ocean Sapphire: +50 Spell Penetration
  • Veiled Demonseye: +20 Int & +20 Hit
• Meta:
• Burning Shadowspirit Diamond: +54 Int & +3% Crit damage. Requires 3 red gems
• Ember Shadowspirit Diamond: +54 Int and +2% max. mana. This requires two yellow gems (see above.)

Unless a socket bonus offers intellect, it’s generally more effective to gem for pure intellect and ignore the bonus.

Enchants:

Int enchants are common to all priests, but Discipline will want to enchant for Spirit and Mastery, while Shadow will want Haste and Mastery.

Both will probably be interested in the Spell Penetration cloak enchant. See the individual spec pages for details.
