“Tools to evaluate a discipline priest”

One of the biggest problems with discipline priests is convincing the raid leader that they’re an extremely useful addition to the raid. Because they’re low on the healing meters, it’s assumed that they aren’t doing anything. Now, anyone who knows anything about how a discipline priest operates knows that the build works off of damage mitigation, which simply won’t be at all obvious on healing meters.

Lesson 1: (healing) meters aren’t gospel

Lesson 2: learn about the build and its capabilities before judging

Lesson 3: not all problems can be solved by brute force

Anyway, the whole point of this article is to point out that Matticus wrote another Spiritual Guidance article entitled Tools to evaluate a discipline priest. He takes a look at a number of different ways to get insight into how a discipline priest is doing - without using the heals per second statistic.

It’s an interesting read and well worth looking at if you’re a raid leader, a healing lead or just a discipline enthousiast.
