Wow! That is amazing! 🤯 Am doing something similar with my Priest. Was mostly Discipline and a bit of Holy however I like getting away from either being a Shadow Priest for DPS or Discipline for healing. You found the best of both worlds! 🤩
be aware that a cast needs to be 3.5 sec cast to get full spell power usage, so for example is a spell is 3 sec cast, it uses 86% of your spell power in that ability. Not taking the mind blast reduced cast as shadow was also a lot of fun ^^
@@PointlessCam oh, didn't play priest in latest patch. I remember I had a chat with a GM asking him about spell power value if I took the talent for less cast speed on mind blast loong ago
Danny! I Played Smite Priest back in Classic (have a video my own on this channel) and it’s awesome - especially with ZG Tier Set Bonus: u lose some spell power but habe 41 yard range, it’s hilarious. 41 yard an instant dmg, u just smash everyone 😬
Yeah really thinking about playing a smite priest on turtle wow. Turtle wow is the best version of wow, wondering what a smite priest build could achieve on twow.
Now that you've tried both builds I would love your thoughts. Say your level 40 and you're duo leveling with a hunter who is smashing single targets fast. What build would you prefer to roll with them in hardcore? I was thinking that perhaps this holy build would work fairly great. Might actually give me a chance to spirit tap. Feel like he's just going to take all my last hits if I go shadow spec.
Been watching your vids for almost 10 years and this series is my favorite. I want to support you in some way, as I feel the need after watching your content for free for so many years. Do you have a patreon or do you just lean on twitch donations?
Hey! Do you recommend to level in this spec? Like for early dungeons. Or is it better to take wand, stamina buff from disc tree? If i am aiming for healing dungeons
For early dungeons and leveling I took wand spec from disc tree, didn't go for anything else from it and not worth imo, went holy after. At 38 or so I respec to full holy to get my dmg talents earlier cause I couldn't wait to try it.
@@DannyGaminGnC Thanks for the response man! Don;t you think Dwarf gets countered by Shamans and UD tho? The racials look great but maybe rolling Horde would give an easier time? Just a thought.
@@DannyGaminGnC Appreciate the great reply! I kinda like being the only "true" healer in bgs so I will probably roll UD (most shamans are ele on my server).
hello and thank you for your videos. If I don't intend to heal during my leveling in wow hc, would you still advise me to spec in the holy tree or rather into the shadow tree as i intended to do. In that case, which stat would you recommend please? Keep up the good work!
I always leveled as shadow so this holy spec is different and fun so I'd use it in hardcore even without healing dungeons so you can try it and if you don't like it go shadow, in theory shadow is the best for solo leveling and you want spirit on every item and for hardcore I like more spirit + stamina items just in case but it's nice to have some spirit + intellect ofc. At level 40+ you can look for items with stats and spell power like the dreamweave crafted 3 items from tailoring and some from dungeons with still good stats and sp
Yea it should work but doesn't seem worth for AoE farm like DM East lashers for example, by the time you kill them you use all the mana and then drink to full anyway and for the spell power from it through spiritual guidance, you kill the mobs all at once so it won't proc during the pull and also holy nova scales very bad with SP, you just want higher mana pool instead for AoE farming so stacking int is better than spirit for the lashers. Spirit tap is good for leveling like I am atm and going from mob to mob where spirit tap regens me mana and smite scales well with the SP.
I use renew when I lose some hp cause renew costs less mana than shield and the amount healed is more than the amount a shield absorbs, just to save mana that way. The benefit of shielding instead would be no pushback but for me the little pushbacks aren't annoying and smite is 2sec cast so it's not that noticeable and later I will take martyrdom talent from disc so if I get crit by melee I will get free cast.
I forgot to mention I do use sheild spcifically vs cats mobs cause their attack speed is very fast, other than cats the explanaiton I gave you is the way I think about it @@L4urynas
I love your vids especially the wpvp vids from back in the day... but just watching everyone level very slowly on hc classic is getting so boring lol. Much love for you tho Danny!
cant you put shadow pain and holy fire ? so lets say you are hitting (there are 4 ticks per holy smite) 500 * 4 at max Holy smite = 2k... hmmm now mage will be hitting 1k on a frost bolt at lvl 40 the thing is can the mage get 2 frost bolts away in the time it takes 4 ticks of a holy fire - the answer is yes so mage DPS in the same time wins hands down. UNLESS you could use shadow pain as well as Holy fire.

Can't wait to see your next tank tell you to only heal lol
good shadow priest heals and do dmg at the same time. also changing Shadow form doesn't take that much mana
I remember trying smite spec back in real vanilla, with enough gear it can sometimes be stronger than shadow in duels ^^

@@Naatewaardthere is so much wrong with this comment I’m not sure where to begin?
@@PointlessCam what part? ^^
@@Naatewaard The mind blast talent reduced the cool down, not the cast speed?

I remember when you PvP ed as smite priest in classic. Nice idea to level as this in HC
smite spec on 30-39 pvp level is super fun too .. playing that on turtlewow n ripping to shreds!

Yeah this spec is very good for duo cause you can easily turn into healer when needed

should I go 25 / 25 / 0 to get divine spirit buff?
Hey Danny which server are you
How about soloing elite quests with this spec?
Hey Danny. Overall for Holy/Disc (both healer and maybe smite spec at some point) would you say Dwarf or UD best?
dwarf better overall
@@DannyGaminGnC Thanks for the response man! Don;t you think Dwarf gets countered by Shamans and UD tho? The racials look great but maybe rolling Horde would give an easier time? Just a thought.
Priest does get countered by shaman but still for holy/disc dwarf is better but if you want undead thats good too@@SpyZ86

Seems good, usually the horde lacks healers and alliance has more most of the time@@SpyZ86

With Pala's debuff on the mobs, it is going to do even more damage. Like +50% more?
not 50% but the debuff on mobs is 10% and they have aura for 10% but it's still good dmg increase
Play priest for many years and didn’t know that spirit tap works with the spirit spell power talent ! Can it work at 60 for aoe pull ? :)
Yea it should work but doesn't seem worth for AoE farm like DM East lashers for example, by the time you kill them you use all the mana and then drink to full anyway and for the spell power from it through spiritual guidance, you kill the mobs all at once so it won't proc during the pull and also holy nova scales very bad with SP, you just want higher mana pool instead for AoE farming so stacking int is better than spirit for the lashers.

i love this build
Might be i miss your explanation but why dont you use Power Word shield?
I use renew when I lose some hp cause renew costs less mana than shield and the amount healed is more than the amount a shield absorbs, just to save mana that way.

@@DannyGaminGnC what do you mean by free cast from martyrdom?
@@slXD100 No pushback on my casts
from meme to dream
try 3 mobs at same lvl as you

Yea smite video with tanaris pvp Its my hearth Aim first exp resto druid HC 40 Fighting tanaris 😂
Why even bother with Holy Fire? Wouldn’t it be better to just spam Smite?
It's still good dmg and leaves a dot and is less mana cost than smite so why not open with a holy fire
Yea definitely, you get the full use of of the holy fire dot. It ends at the perfect time of death it seems
@@DannyGaminGnCThanks!
you're killing mobs 4 levels lower lol
Moreee
Smite can work, but is VERY gear dependent to have enough Spirit etc or you go oom very quickly.
I feel like the optimal rotation would be holy fire -> SW:P (back up) -> smite etc
No I don’t think so. Waste of mana, they die to quick to get the optimal use out of that.
unless you get all 6 ticks of shadow word pain it is not worth the mana cost
cant you put shadow pain and holy fire ? so lets say you are hitting (there are 4 ticks per holy smite) 500 * 4 at max Holy smite = 2k... hmmm now mage will be hitting 1k on a frost bolt at lvl 40 the thing is can the mage get 2 frost bolts away in the time it takes 4 ticks of a holy fire - the answer is yes so mage DPS in the same time wins hands down. UNLESS you could use shadow pain as well as Holy fire.
You have skinning, and you are skipping 70% of the mobs you can skin. No wonder you can't afford mount at 40 😅
BTW, love your vids
