Talents

Patch 11.0.5 - The War Within
Discipline Priest
Voidweaver Level 70
Voidweaver Discipline Priest leveling talents

Spec Tree

  • Shadow Covenant
    • The most powerful buff for a Priest as it activates synergies between talents by transforming Penance and Halo into shadow spells.
  • Inescapable Torment
    • This talent greatly increases your damage while your pet is active and extends its duration, allowing you to AoE your enemies.
  • Void Summoner
    • This essential talent lets you summon your pet more often. Focus on this as much as possible.

Class Tree

  • Phantom Reach
    • Increases the range of your spells to 46 yards, allowing you to pull mobs from further away.

Hero Talents

  • Voidweaver performs better than Oracle while leveling because Entropic Rift is a good tool to do AoE damage with a very short cooldown and oracle focuses around enhancing your healing spells.
  • Your Mind Blast summons a massive Entropic Rift that deals a lot of damage itself and transforms your Smite into Void Blast.
