Spirit PVP buildFollow

there are different pvp builds such as arena builds dics shadow, bg builds holy dics and shadow, its all in what you want to do. I would find a priest on your server that pvps alot and ask them depending on what spec they are to figure out which is the best.

I am sorry that i cannot answer your question about pvp builds bc i only raid and use my raid spec to pvp with just for points every week ;)

The fact of life in battlegrounds is that regen is almost immaterial. In PvP fights, you will rarely use all of your mana; on those occassions when you do, you will typically die almost immediately thereafter. In both cases, regen is nowhere near as important as in, say, a ten-minute PvE boss fight. Consequently, spirit is low on the priorities list, and gear that is good for PvP (i.e. has resilience) has zero spirit. If you get spirit gear, your survivability is wretched because no spirit gear has resilience.

Don't get me wrong, a Smitelol build in BGs could probably do just fine, but Spirit Tap will underperform and boosting your spirit is unproductive at best. Drop Spirit Tap for more damage talents and be thoughtful with your itemization.

Theres absolutely nothing wrong with trying to think out of the box. However understand that the "norm" exists for a reason. Most often because it makes the most sense.



No, I absolutely get where you are coming from but once again understand practicality and experience trumps theory crafting. Spirit Tap will not work because it depends on getting the "killing blow" and like I explained in my previous post it is almost impossible to time getting the killing blow on a PvP toon with 10k+ HP when your spell only does 1.5k dmg while 3 other people are pounding on that same target. It is hard enough to do on casters with sub 10k HP, now try doing it on a warrior or hunter with 16-20k HP. Also, while ImpDS is a beautiful raid talent, it will most often be dispelled/purged in PvP. So while it looks pretty on paper it is nigh useless in an actual fight.

Spirit tap only seems to be worthwhile for solo PVE grinding to cut the downtime as the killing blow will always be yours. IN BG's the occasional fight might be one or one with you finishing your opponent but mostly even then some party member is likely to cut the last bit of health of your target.

I tried to tell him that, Ixi, and I don't think it registered.
