Dear Wowheaders,
First of all this post might sound like a qq-post but I really ask for some constructive replies if that's not too much to ask for.
I was doing a quest in Grizzly Hills when all of a sudden a Disc Priest shows up and starts attacking me.
As I got surprised I started my regular rotation of abilities; JoL, Holy Shock, Shield of Right. and repeat. The biggest problem I encountered was that our little priest friend spammed Mana Burn.
Now I got oom and was kind of useless to anyone even myself, no mana, no healing, no dps. And the priest had 40% mana left and was full HP and had his shield up (orly).
My question: How to beat a Disc Priest as Holy?
if it seems rather useless to even try so, just tell me.

Thanks for the quick response. Even though you suggest I shouldn't even try. I'd like to keep every possibility open ^^;

If it didn't change, shadow resistance aura and judgement of wisdom helps.

thx, it sounds rather logic when u say it like that but sometimes the best way to learn it is hearing it from others.

Hi Flash.
It's really difficult to win 1v1 against a disc priest, as they are designed to cripple us. Mana burn, dispel, and mass dispel are always going to be a pain in the ass.
I'd suggest line of sight as a recourse. As a holy paladin a discipline priest shouldn't be able to put out enough damage to simply burst you down; it will be a long process - and really you have the power to make it a never ending fight. Just heal through it and plea liberally and you'll be able to last forever.
Our weakness in the fight would be the amount of damage that we can actually do (especially with all the shields absorbing all our damage). You won't be able to kill him until he is out of mana.
LOS and keep him out of the 5 second rule... your mana should outlast his, even with a couple burns.
Also, its important to remember that pvp is currently not designed for 1v1 - and from this I would suggest not trying to kill a disc priest alone as a holy paladin. However, if they make exorcism castable on players in 3.1, its GG all over the place.
