- Expansion: Mists of Pandaria
Before you can start earning the most powerful items from raids, you’ll need some equipment to get you started. Discipline Priests who are just starting to dip their toes into endgame content will want to work on building a set of pre-raid gear that provides plenty of mana regeneration from Spirit while also boosting their healing power through Intellect and other throughput stats.
Priests can only use Cloth armor, and will receive 5% increased Intellect from all gear through their Mysticism passive ability. The Ranged equipment slot is gone in Mists of Pandaria, with Wands going into the Main-hand slot instead.
Pre-Raid Best-in-Slot Items
Here is the best gear you can obtain as a Discipline Priest outside of raids in Mists of Pandaria, including dungeon loot, random daily scenario rewards, reputation rewards, and profession bonuses. Don’t forget to gem, enchant, and reforge every item to complete your optimization.
