I'm leveling as Disc... it hurts!

Hi everyone.

I want to share.

I've been leveling a diesc priest for 2 weeks, right now it is a level 33 troll, and my gear has spirit all over.

My build so far:

http://db.vanillagaming.org/?talent#bVMusfmk

It's being a painful experience!!!

My problem is that I wanted to be full discipline so I'm lacking of the Spirit Tab talent. Every 2-3 mobs I need to drink.

Killling mobs is very slow paced. What I do is PWS, HF, MB, SWP, then use my wand to finish the mob. It takes 2 PWS to kill a mob. It feels like my wand gets outdated every 5 levels.

My mayor problem with healing is that I can run out of mana easyly and although I have the talents to regen at this level they are no very useful imo (all my gear has spirit, 156 point not buffed).

So regarding healing, and that discipline doesn't boost your healing, I think a Shadow Priest would heal almost as well as a Discipline while leveling.

PVP wise I am normally an easy prey for Hunters around my level, I can kill the green-level ones though. My shield can stand against rogues, I normaly manage to either use two shields and flee or two and then die. I've beeing able to defeat most warriors.

So I'm going to try to level to 60 still as a DISC, with some talents from Holy that boost damage. I'm doing this not because it is the best way to level, but because it is a good challenge.

So hopefully I don't get mad in the comming weeks and respect to shadow or just level that warlock instead.

That's my experience if it helps some other doubtful Priest in someway.

Pardon my English & Cheers.

Masochists everywhere...
At least get Spirit Tap. It's good for sanity.

But why?

I know people are arguing about the best levelling build, but pretty much everyone agrees spirit tap is a must-have talent. It's not too late to spec into it, but you should've started at level 10!

If you're gearing for spirit it makes even less sense - just pick up spirit tap already!

I guees I thought I could make it just with Meditation, Divin Spirit and Mental Agility... I was so wrong.

Yeah I should realy start with Spirit Tap as soon as I get a new level.

I don't really understand why you wanted to level Disc without the smite/holy fire talents in Holy and Spirit Tap.

If I were you, I would have first done 5 in shadow, 5 in Disc for Wand, and then at least 10 in Holy before focusing the rest on Disc.

Your rotation is allll messed up. I would recommend opening with HF, SWP, MB, then wand to death with another MB thrown in if the fight takes too long. Quit wasting tons of mana on PWS and just hit yourself with a renew every now and then.

PWS is not a bad idea, especially on a PvP server with horde that only gank you while you're fighting things.
