Need a Disc Priest CR that works. I've had to switch to Holy, then lvl up gear so I can start pulling Disc gear and play manually.
Just don't need that extra step. Is anyone working on or know of anyone working on a disc CR?

i second this.

oracle is ok (but no more than that) for pve, but it's a nightmare and not usable in pvp, and definitely not worth the money if you're playing a priest. a REALLY good disc routine for both pve and pvp is definitely missing. i would kill (and pay a lot) to have one thats worth it (thinking on a level like millz wl and mage routines... something brilliant like that is definitely missing for priest).

No one's going to bother making a new routine for MoP when WoD is right around the corner. Any new routines that come out will likely release in November. It might be helpful to list what you think a PvP routine needs to do differently than what Oracle or KingWoW does.
 
BennyQuest raids with O2 and a disc priest, and I've seen his numbers. O2 works for disc. It's not really meant for lower geared toons (not saying anyone using it has low gear) due to mana consumption, but it does work. My disc priest struggles with mana, but that's because I'm below 500 ilvl (I switched from Shadow to Disc). I'm still working on gearing my priest. There was a write-up on how to set O2 up for disc priest to get the best results. This is for PvE. I have no clue about PvP as I don't PvP. It's one of the aspects of the game I could live without.

*O2 = Oracle II
 
of course O2 "works", but its far, far from being great/superior.

i'm using it for crap raiding (flex...), but would NEVER use it in my main raid other than for example millz for my WL, which does a brilliant job even in HC raiding.

(and it's not a gear thing in my case, my disc is 562 and never experiences mana issues at all)

"It's crap" is lazy, useless feedback. What isn't it doing? What should it be doing?
 
It should be able to switch between Normal and Atonement healing styles for PVE. I've build my personal macro's and rotations based on Game Play - Websites (below) - and feedback from DP's that love to tell me what I'm doing wrong :)
Just asking for a CR that can function as a Disc should function. I understand WoD is around the corner and no one is going to work on a New CR before then, however, When HB comes back and is stable, I'd love to be able to play my disc again.


Discipline Priest healing involves moving between two different healing styles based on the needs of the fight or your party/raid. Your Normal Healing priority is stronger on most progression content and times where high amounts of damage are delivered to a single target. Atonement Healing is strong for farm content, group healing, and times where every bit of DPS is required to beat a fight. Since Discipline Priest have the passive talents to do both types of healing, you should feel free to switch healing modes on the fly to best suit each encounter. Noxxic


Discipline Priests have a unique type of ability. Thanks to Atonement Icon Atonement, a passive ability, you can heal players, automatically, by dealing damage to enemies through Smite Icon Smite, Holy Fire Icon Holy Fire, and Penance Icon Penance. This healing is a smart heal (it heals the lowest health target in range) and it is mana efficient. In addition to these benefits, it allows the Priest to also contribute to the raid's DPS.
Each time you deal damage with Smite Icon Smite, Holy Fire Icon Holy Fire, and Penance Icon Penance, the lowest health player within 40 yards of the target (the target you have dealt damage to) is healed for 90% of the amount of damage that you did. Each time this happens, thanks to Evangelism Icon Evangelism (another passive ability), you gain a stack of a buff that increases the damage and healing done by the above-mentioned 3 spells, while also reducing their mana cost. This buff stacks up to 5 times. Finally, you can consume these stacks of Evangelism through Archangel Icon Archangel, an active ability with a 30-second cooldown, which increases your healing by 5% per stack consumed, for 18 seconds.
Thanks to Divine Fury Icon Divine Fury, a passive ability, Smite, Holy Fire, and Penance will never miss their target.
As such, there are two distinct aspects to keep track of. One is the amount of healing you can do through Atonement, and the other is the rather potent 18-second healing increase you can gain through Evangelism and Archangel.
Atonement healing is not difficult in essence, but with its rise in popularity (due in great part to it having been made increasingly viable), we feel that certain aspects need to be covered in more depth. Icy-Veins
 
Have you tried KingWoW's Disc Priest? I think I remember it having a toggle key for Atonement/Normal healing modes. I haven't played my Priest in months, so I can't say if he's kept up with it.
 
Let me bump that thread! So, now that KingWoW 2 is out for Priest, what are your experiences if you have bought both?
KingWoW2 vs Oracle2 GO!

note: Of course numbers do not matter at this point. We are playing a game designed for 100 while we are 90. It is waaaay too soon to know how they both end up like. However, my question leans more towards the "gameplay" of the routines. I recall once a thread where people claimed that KingWoW was more aggressive and effective than Oracle, which was still "okay" but passive.
 
I've run both for a few hours each in raids.
King wow is faster to adjust to damage, and is faster overall.
Oracle 2 is smarter in certain instance with dispelled etc...
HB and these cr's are not optimized at all.

Remember though you can't really claim which is best.

Since each fight has different circumstances and no 2 fights at the same boss are the same ( for example on one attempt 5 people get hit by fire, and on the next attempt none), with which one you got: a. bigger number in recount ( not really important ) b. a more secure feeling that even though stupid people might not appreciate your HPS, you can always keep the raid alive?

fast/agressive healing was ok (at times..) for MoP but healing in WoD will be completely different. I believe O2 is going to be far superior in WoD.
