Which utilities do you think your group will need more? (Power Infusion&Pain Suppression vs Guardian Spirit&Body and Soul talent (if you get it)).
What type of heals do you think your group will need more given the comp they have and they content they are doing? (Shields vs Chunky heals)Ģ. So when it comes to deciding which you should play in a raid setting (personally, I have both a discipline and a holy spec, I dont hardly play shadow), you should consider two very important key factors. Both of the specs perform very well and are useful in pretty much all areas and aspects of the PvE portion of the game. When it comes to raid content, it really depends on your group comp (the healer comp especially), what you're good at, what your gear looks like, and what content you're doing. This is most apparently in the gearing process during dungeons. As a result, playing Holy at low gear levels can leave you drinking frequently, while Discipline will be a lot more friendly towards your mana pool. Not exclusively, of course, but they do lean in those directions. Holy is a mana-hog which relies heavily on regen stats, while Discipline's mana regen relies more on talent usage and max mana pool.
