A majority of our talents chosen in the Discipline Priest tree involve reducing our cooldown on Power Word: Shield, or increasing our heals after using Power Word: Shield. This ability is one of your major defensive abilities, as it provides a large shield to protect your allies. Here are some talents from the talent tree that enhance this talent build.

- Inner Focus gives you a Critical Strike modifier and no mana cost on your primary heal spells.
- Renewed Hope provides a Critical Strike modifier on your primary healing spells, increasing your sustain healing whenever you can’t apply absorptions on yourself or allies.
Additionally, it’s important to understand that having Weakened Soul on your target after using Power Word: Shield will provide additional healing bonuses.
If we look into the Holy tree, here are the talents that enhance our performance on Discipline Priest.

Optional Discipline Priest PvP Talents
We can adjust the talents, Surge of Light and Inspiration, for instant Flash Heal casts or damage reduction on friendly targets respectively. This grants Discipline Priests an instant cast for Flash Heal, which can help apply Grace stacks for increased healing on your current target. Although both talent choices are based around preference, Surge of Light seems to be more inconsistent, as it relies on a proc chance to gain benefit. It is preferred as the default option to choose Inspiration due to its sustainability as a defensive buff.
