Role of Disc. Priests

dburne

For Instances how do Disc Priests compare as DPS to Shadow Priests.
Are they purely healers or can they play the DPS role? I was
wondering if they could run as DPS with healing ability if things got
tricky.
Any opinions?
TIA

Disc priests are healers who can do some DPS as part of their healing.

Discipline DPS will be pretty weak compared to other "real" DPS specs.
Most discipline talents improve your healing, only a few talents improve
your DPS.

As opposed to a real DPS spec where *every* talent improves your DPS.

If you know ahead of time that you will need extra healing then a Disc
priest would be a good choice, but otherwise I wouldn't bother. Just go
shadow.

Well he was detained briefly. But a gun was never involved in the
domestic dispute.

========================================

Bullshit. The wife stated he had his hand on his gun while sitting in his
car at her home. This was clearly reported to police.

Why are you going out of your way...in other words lying...for this POS?

What I read this morning was that Zimmerman's attorney admitted that his
client had a gun with him and that the police suspected he had a gun in the
car but chose not get a search warrant to verify it.

Was it "proven" a fraud or just a case of the wife changing her story?

This guy walks around with a gun holstered under his shirt and has an
anger issue. It's only a matter of time before he hurts someone.

I know but his wife said so on the 911 call. Fortunately Zimmerman was
released when it was proved a fraud before he was formally arrested.

It really depends on who's lying. Or did you make the trip down from
Canada to bear witness?

And the wife has since retracted her claim.
