BC Discipline Spec
by Laneer on Nov.06, 2006, under Gameplay

I’ve been using a fully disc spec now for a little over 2 weeks. I haven’t found that I have any problem healing in instances and found I actually like everything more than I thought I would. I’m especially found of how much mana I have
Of course PI is always nice and well Pain Suppression leaves a little to be desired but can come in handy some times. My most favorite thing of all in Disc is of course the Reflective shield.
The reflective shield is an interesting beast. First of all it can crit, which is really fun when it does. So it doesn’t just reflect back 50% of the damage done it actually does a little more. Each damage reflected has a chance to crit. I’m not sure who’s chance to crit it is using when it does this though. Even more interesting is PI definitely causes the shield to do more damage as well.
Like I’ve mentioned before I’ve never really been interested in shadow. Plus as you have no doubt read I am often teamed up with Inien and shadow doesn’t lend it self to this as well. The one thing I’ve noticed this vs my current live Disc build is I actually win 1v1 battles. Its been a while since felt I could actually beat someone 1 on 1. As I was questing a bit today I was able to beat a 63 Feral Druid, 62 Rogue, and a 62 Hunter. I attribute the wins mostly to the shield. Pain Suppression actually helped out as well though I still think this talent needs something else. For this reason at least until I’m 70 I’m gonna go disc I think. I’ve enjoyed it too much not to! My final level 70 build would look something like this.

Ohhhhh… now you’re making me drool to try out Reflective Shield. Hehehhe being able to crit with it makes it MUCH more useful.
Thanks for testing it out.

Yes the Shield turned out to be my favorite part most definitely second to the +5% stats
Just think throw up your shield, hit power infusion, someone throws a 1200 damage Shadow bolt at you, it reflects 600, no wait, it crits, so 900 + 20% damage from PI
I’m not sure if the Infusion effect would come before or after it crits that would be hard to test I think hehe Either way the caster would be getting a surprise!
