Discipline Priest
PvE guide, updated for Patch 12.1.5
Introduction
This is the Discipline Priest Healer guide for end-game PvE. SimulationCraft models damage, not healing, so its stat priority, gems and enchants, consumables and talent builds come from what top Mythic+ players run, read each week from Blizzard’s leaderboards and the Armory.
Read it as what the players in the highest keys chose, not as a measured best: their gear follows what dropped for them, and their choices follow the guides they read. It covers Mythic+ only, so raid stats and builds aren’t in it.
