Gear is one of the most important elements in WoW to strengthen your Discipline Priest, providing massive amounts of stats as well as armor, procs, and set bonuses.

BiS Gear - Priest Guide: A list of the latest Best-in-Slot (BiS) gear for a Discipline Priest in WoW Shadowlands. World of Warcraft (9.0.2). Priest Healing Ahn'Qiraj Best in Slot Gear (BiS) - WoW Classic Phase 5 Below are the Best in Slot gear recommendations for Healing Priest in Ahn'Qiraj, the newest raid in WoW Classic Phase 5. While epics from AQ40 play a large role in this list, we also recommend gear from PvP, Professions, dungeons, and quests. Disc Priest will primarily focus on maximizing item level in most gear slots, with rings, trinkets and Azerite slots (Helm/Chest/Shoulders) as the notable exceptions. Those slots should be targeted when possible for specific stat or Azerite bonuses although they too can be replaced if there is a significant item level increase. Welcome to Wowhead's Shadow Priest Arena PvP Guide! In this section, we cover how gear works in PvP in Shadowlands, the best stat priority for Shadow Priests in PvP, the best pieces of gear and legendaries for Shadow Priests in arena PvP, as well as the best enchants to use on your gear.

In this guide, we will explain how to obtain the best gear for your Discipline Priest in Shadowlands and how to check if a piece is BiS, an upgrade or just bad. This guide will help you select the best pieces of gear from Dungeons and Raids in Shadowlands, whether they be weapons, trinkets, or armor.

Recommended Gear for Discipline Priests in Shadowlands

What is the BIS Discipline Priest gear?

With many different sources of gearing and loot scarcity in Shadowlands, targeting your absolute Best in Slot gear isn't entirely realistic; instead, we've created a Best in Slot list from the ideal Discipline Priest raid drops found in Shadowlands, from Mythic Dungeons, to help you decide what to prioritize.

Disc Priest will primarily focus on maximizing item level in most gear slots, with rings and trinkets. For example, a low-level Crit/Haste ring (desirable Disc stats) can be replaced by a significantly higher item level Vers/Masteryring, especially if it also has a socket.

In this list there are a lot of non-haste items described here. This is because World Boss loot will be about 23 item levels HIGHER than Mythic 0 quality loot. When Mythic+ comes out, you'll more easily be able to focus on dungeon loot to fill out some missing slots.

Trinkets

  • Unbound Changeling - Really the easy trinket that you want to focus on acquiring early. It drops from the Mists dungeon and is easy to acquire. The secondary stats it provides will change based on what stat food that you eat.
  • Cabalist's Hymnal - Super solid stats and very high ilvl.
  • Sinful Gladiator's Insignia of Alacrity - Strong trinket optionfrom pvp.
  • Manabound Mirror - Decent healing and very high ilvl from Sire Denathrius
  • Darkmoon Deck: Repose - Decent darkmoon deck trinket that is generally easy to acquire early on before raid.
  • Wakener's Frond - Stat trinket that can drop from World Quests.
  • Stolen Maw Badge- Stat trinket that can drop from World Quests.

Slots to Prioritize in the Great Vault

If you checked the Castle Nathria loot list above, there are a great many of haste-heavy items that feature very high item level from Sire Denathrius and Stone Legion Generals. Outside of those excellent pieces, there are a couple slots that have poor itemization and you can use PvP or the Great Vault to fill in those gaps.

Primary slots to aim for improving from the Great Vault would be:

  • Neck
  • Wrists
  • Gloves
  • Boots
GearPriest

Weapons

Currently, there is no major difference between selecting a Main Hand + an Off Hand versus a Staff for Priest. There is potential for Leech/Avoidance/Speed procs on multiple items but generally, you'll want to focus on maximizing item level/spell power gains.When it comes to weapons from the raid. Stone Legion and Sire Denathrius drop their highest respective item level tokens and as a result should be the focus for which tokens to prioritize.

Sire's token will allow you to instantly get the highest item level staff Sinbearer's Absolution Staff which should be your focus.

BiS Gear (Ulduar Edition)

I have compiled a list of BIS gear pieces from other websites & put my own list together. This may differ from your own opinion; however, their value and itemization work well for holy or disc priests.

This is a good time to note that I have 5 gear sets (some interchangeable) for my 2 specs. I have 3 for Disc: normal, General V. & Algalon. I have 2 for Holy: normal & Freya +3/Firefighter. The gear is very interchangeable with each spec, thank GOODNESS! Also note that not all my items are BIS on my list… we’ll discuss that after the BIS list.

As you can see, I have a lot of HOLES in my BIS gear. Ironically, I’m one of the top “gear-score” priests on my server, thus I’m doing something right by gear score… LOL. As many priests have come to realize, gear score means NOTHING when it comes to skill & level of play.

I will discuss my “normal” gear for each class & what stats it gives me in separate posts – one for disc & one for holy.
