WoW Forever Discipline Priest BiS at level 20

Healer
role
7/16
new in Forever
15/16
with a known source

Summary

This is the site’s suggestion for Discipline Priest at level 20, not an official list: we use our Discipline stat weights to score every item a Priest can use with a required level of 20 or lower, and pick the best one for each slot. The beta already goes past this level: the current cap is 30.

Stat priority of the list, per point: Mana per 5 sec > Healing = Spell Power > Intellect. Percentage stats count too, per 1%: spell critical strike. Only wand DPS is scored; other weapons count by their stats.

The highest-scoring pieces:

7 of the 16 pieces are new in Forever and 15 have a known source.

Gear by slot

More on Discipline Priest

Reasoning: Healer with Meditation (mana regen while casting) and Mental Strength, so spirit and intellect are worth more than for Holy and crit a bit less. Healing is the reference and spell power counts the same because it heals too. The wand fills the ranged slot: in the beta's early levels, much of the levelling is done by wanding, so its DPS scores.

Heads up: the beta is capped at level 30 and the weights are indicative, tuned for level 60 with no simulations behind them. Sources come from the WoWSims Forever database and, for items that already existed in Classic, from the Classic 1.12 database (CMaNGOS Classic-DB, marked "Classic data": they may change in Forever); an item without a source may not be obtainable yet. Set bonuses and procs are not scored. Everything will change with each build.

Treat these lists as a starting point: your talents, enchants and play style may make another piece the better pick.
