Best Discipline Priest PvP Glyphs
The glyph system has changed quite a bit in Cataclysm as opposed to Wrath of the Lich King. All glyph scrolls that have been learned are now permanent glyphs that can be placed inside major and minor glyph slots, and there are 3 additional prime glyph slots included with the major and minor glyphs. Vanishing powder will be needed to swap out those glyphs. Those will be handy, since some glyphs may be swapped depending on a certain arena matchup.
Prime Glyphs
These three prime glyphs provided below are your primary glyphs within your prime glyph slots. These glyphs do not change.
Glyph of Power Word: Shield provides extra healing when Power Word: Shield has applied to your target. Having this will empower one of your strongest spells, providing additional healing throughput for friendly targets.
Glyph of Penance reduces the cooldown on your Penance spell, allowing you to frequently cast one of your strongest healing abilities. This spell can be used defensively or offensively, granting you more opportunities to save your allies or to deal a finishing blow on your enemies.
Glyph of Renew will provide you additional healing throughput on your Renew spell, providing increased sustainability on friendly targets.
Major Glyphs
These three major glyphs provided below are your primary glyphs within your major glyph slots. These glyphs almost never change. There is the alternative of playing Glyph of Inner Fire instead of Glyph of Dispel Magic. Glyph of Inner Fire provides additional armor when used on your character, and can be valuable if you find yourself becoming a kill target against a melee composition.
Glyph of Desperation allows your Pain Suppression to be castable while in a Stun effect. This is your most important major glyph, as this will prevent potential kill windows.
Glyph of Mass Dispel reduces cast time of your Mass Dispel by 1 second, making your Mass Dispels extremely fast to press. Remember that this spell requires a lot of mana to use, so using this excessively can be detrimental to your sustainability during an arena game.
Glyph of Dispel Magic provides a minor heal when using Dispel Magic on a friendly target. This will only take affect when dispelling a magical effect. Having extra healing throughput will strengthen your team survivability throughout an arena match.
Glyph of Inner Fire increases the amount of armor given from Inner Fire, helping with Priest survivalibility. Also, having Inner Fire on yourself is important since it grants you additional Spell Power. Only choose this glyph if you plan on being a primary target against melees.
A new expansion offers new possibilities to learn different information that has been added, changed, or removed in the game. Our Skill Capped Guide will provide you with that information at ease through our specialized premium courses. Consult with the best PvP players with years of PvP competitive experience. They will teach you how to be ahead of the composition. Sign up today to get a 5% discount and jumpstart your Cataclysm PvP climb with a +400 rating guarantee.
Minor Glyphs
Even though minor glyphs do not greatly enhance the performance for Discipline Priest, there are 3 minor glyphs provided below that can be used in your minor glyph slots to minmax. These glyphs don’t change.
Glyph of Fortitude reduces the amount of mana spent on Power Word: Fortitude, which can be beneficial when facing Restoration Shamans and other Priests that prioritize purging buffs off of yourself or your teammates.
Glyph of Shackle Undead increases the range of Shackle Undead by 5 yards, which can assist with applying this ability on Death Knight pets and Summon Gargoyle without getting in Death Grip range.
Glyph of Shadowfiend grants you 5% base mana if your Shadowfiend dies early during its use. Since Shadowfiend is typically squishy by itself, this provides minor boost for mana sustainability.
