How bad is disc for leveling?

Beitrag von Lunatique

I have been playing WoW for a little while now, but very very casually. I got my disc priest to level 40 by logging on maybe once a day and doing one dungeon and/or one battleground. This was mostly due to lack of motivation for doing quests (I've just never liked it). Up to this point I've only played as disc because I'm pretty much always the healer and I enjoy the style.

Lately though I've been feeling the urge to finally get my priest to level 80, so I guess I'll start questing again. The question I have is this: How bad is disc for leveling? Should I respec to the energizer build in the stickies? Or possibly shadow? If I would just be questing I would probably go shadow. The only problem is that I still want to heal some dungeons. I know a lot of people say that healing as shadow is no problem at low levels, but would it be better for me to go holy if I still want to heal?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

PS: Where's the best place to level for a level 40 with empty quest log?

Did everyone miss the point where the OP is lvl 40 and doesn't have the +mana goodies from shadow?

His possible disc build (points can be moved enlightenment for Reflective shields): http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#bVcbuhhVRh

His possible Shadow build: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#bZZGxfVoczbco

Comparing the two, Disc has the +50% mana regen giving it mana, and reflective shields to make up lost damage if the OP so desires. Shadow has to constantly move to maintain full effectiveness, while Disc allows him to stop and take care of quest objectives without losing 15% of his damage.

He could also take this Disc/Holy build: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#bVcbuhhbZ0xL which offers improved holy damage spell cast times with the 5% crit, while taking reflective shields to get another damage increase.

Edit: Another idea, when we want that much mana: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#bVcbhZ0ttc0bZh:u (I do not fully endorse this build, I made it for the lolz)

Seems like its divided between disc and shadow...I think I'll try both and see how it goes.
