Disc/holy dmg pvp spec?

[sloasdaylight]

Hello,
simple question: Does anyone have experience with this build? Is it viable? Maybe as crit spec?

I have never tried thisone before but it kinda attracts me to have ability to heal my ass 24/7 while doing some decent dmg. Disc/holy talents still have some 5/5 +holy dmg/crit talents so maybe its worth a try as a super-hybrid build?

Simply put it's not worth it. It's good for little doo-dads here and there, like a 10 priest WSG, or Beckon's PvPriest 4 video, but on the whole it's not a very good spec. It's ridiculously dependent on gear that does not mesh with Shadow Priest dps gear at all, it's not as good in 1v1s, it's susceptible as all hell to interrupts (kicked in your Holy dick? oopsies, now what?), and it's not as tanky as shadow.

It's fun to play with, but it's really not a spec you should spend much time trying to make work. Shadow is better for pretty much anything except skank healing than that spec.

until debuff slots open up though, it's actually better DPS - especially on Alliance side if the Smite Priest is grouped with a Ret Paladin - then it is absolutely much better DPS

That's possible, but the question was about PvP, not PvE.

Could anyone post a talent build for a decent smite priest?

So far i see it like there are 2 ways how to build holy dmg priest. Either go for 5/5 holy crit or go for +spirit and max spell dmg and spirit gear. Any suggestions?

I think thisone might do the trick: http://db.vanillagaming.org/?talent#bxMGRhiVodxxhbb

If I were going to go a smite build, this is what I would do. It's fairly similar to yours, but does vary somewhat.

this but:
3/3 improved renew
2/5 spelwarding
instead, and focus on shield, renewing ur team (no casted heals)
thats my spec and it roxx in wsg, ab

-instant 'heal'spells (shield/renew) for ur team, lot better in bg's then casted healspells (will get silenced/ccd now and then) , for teamfights u get more an offhealer hybrid role: u can save teammates from dieing with ur instant spells and main healer will do the rest
-you can add alot of burst to more important targets when the time is right (flagcarrier, enemyhealers etc.) with power infusion, and throwing some smites
- u solve some 1v1 issues

make spelldamage/heal ur mainstat for items and get 1 or 2 pure healing ones (hide of the wild, Av offhand for example)

what gear do you have?
can u explain what you do in wsg? focusing more on smites and some shields+renews?
do you feel yourself more as a dps or offheal?
what gear do you have?

i actually played with this. you can check me on realmplayers for my gear. my spec is mostly straight forward incl. PI and holy nova and 2/2 searing light.

i have an MC talisman trinket, so when i pop PI and trinket i crit for 1,8k with smite but

holy dmg is fucked up on nost and likely won't be fixed (any time soon), which means a large amount of resistance related (partial) resists that are not blizzlike. mana i just as much an issue as with shadow. it works great with a retpaladin. most likely there will be no debuff slot for the jotc but then you could really rek.

it is defnitely far more viable than shadow pre-ZG and much fun to play around with.

once a scrubby hunter in BRM attacked me only to die with 3 short smites, he certainly didnt expect that.

overall its fun to be versatile, being a good healing spec as well as some form of dps (good for farming). and i can certainly recommend it if you dont need to have a more holy oriented spec for raids. then again i have very good gear.

/NOTE: this isnt my go to spec, only until shadow becomes viable. what you see is a mix of my shadow gear with some off items i collected merely for this purpose.
