Good morning everyone, today I bring you This Mistweaver Monk Guide 7.0.3 PVE. Currently, this class and specialization is my chosen one to complete the content of this expansion under the name of mithzay. Throughout this guide, I will try to explain the multitude of ways to heal and stats that the monk goes to, focusing mostly on raid healing. Here we go!
Mistweaver Monk
"Those who weave the mists wield the power of the life essence and use a mixture of preventive and restorative spells to heal the wounds of their allies"
Modifications in patch 7.0.3
This class has undergone a major change in the way of healing. We remember that in previous expansions, we used comforting mist and on this channeled we cast the current effuse by mana and enveloping mist in exchange for chi. Right now…
- Chi no longer exists. All of our abilities have a mana expenditure.
- The rotation and style of play has changed, not surprisingly after the change of what is indicated above.
- There are no longer Crane or Dragon styles. The fistweaving playstyle no longer heals, it only provides mana if we have the corresponding talent enabled.
- Now Summon Jade Dragon Statue is for talent. Also mana tea now it is for talents and has a different operation.
- Changes in the talent branch.
- Glyphs removal.
Difference between "fistweaving and mistweaving"
- fist weaving: This style of play is based on including attacks in the rotation. In this expansion, at least one must include kick of the rising sun in rotation to benefit if we have chosen crane spirit o rising thunder. I really don't like this rotation and it is somewhat more complicated, in this guide we will talk about it.
- mistweaving: The traditional style of play without attack rotation.
Talents
Talents, as in almost all classes, are highly versatile and situational. At this point I will explain the ideals above, and in which cases we should change them.
- Level One: At this first point we must choose chi blast generally, being able to change it to zen pulse in area fights and generally using it on the tank.
- Level One: In this we can choose the one that best suits our style of play. I personally think the best option is chi torpedo, But tiger wish it is also quite common among gamers.
- Level One: Either talent is fine, but we need to think about the fight ahead. Normally, we'll do a lot of Envelope and Revive Mist casts, so lifecycles it becomes a very successful option. In certain fights, especially in Mythic +, it may be more convenient to use wrap in the mist. Crane spirit We will use it if we are fistweavers, and we include attacks in our rotation.
- Level One: In this talent tier, leg sweep it is the best option.
- Level One: This tier provides us with a damage mitigation. The default option will be elixir of healing, as it provides two charges of healing and also automatically jumps to the drop of a certain percentage of life. Blur magic provides a 60% magic damage reduction for 6s, it is very effective in certain combat with magic damage. Especially when you have to prioritize casts to eat areas.
- Level One: The default option will be summon chi -ji, the red crane. This does considerable healing and is very helpful. Summon Jade Dragon Statue it is not feasible in any case. Refreshing jade wind It is useful only in fights where the raid is very close and we have the talent Crane spirit. It is used loosely to supply essence source.
- Level One: In the mode of Mistweaving we will have to choose between mana tea o focused thunder. Mana tea allows us to cast high cost spells such as essence source. It is a very useful talent for long bosses or where healers suffer from mana. We will use focused thunder in the other fights, since it gives us 1 more charge of thunder focus tea, very useful to spend especially with renewing mist or in certain cases with enveloping fog. These two of us should use them almost whenever they are available.
Artefact
The talents go in the order listed above. The dilemma comes in the third line of talents, we must choose which we prefer first heavenly breath o Yu'lon's blessing. Personally I have gone the long way of Heavenly breath, but I admit that I have not finished it yet and that if it was today I would surely have chosen the short route of Yu'lon's BlessingWell, it is a very good talent, especially if we have the legendary petricor detail. In addition, in this way we will need much fewer artifact points.
Choice of relics
Our relics are from storm, Life y Frost. We will always prioritize the relics with the highest item level, since they are the ones that raise the level of the weapon and with it the statistics. But before several equal relics, these must be the priorities *:
Infusion of life > extended healing > path of the mistweaver
From here on, any characteristic that increases the absorption of vital chrysalis or the healing of our abilities, it will be suitable for us.
* This corresponds to the Mistweaver style of play.
Statistics priority
Intellect> Critical Strike> Versatility> Mastery> Haste
It's hard to decide a stat when it comes to healer. Mastery: Streak of Mist It is very good and it is worth having something of it, but finally we must guide our character to have the maximum critical hit possible and the maximum versatility possible. Haste in principle is only useful for mythical +, because since we are the only healer, we must have a higher casting speed before a greater amount healed.
Gems and Charms
Enchantments
- Necklace. We will love Trained Soldier Mark. (300 Mastery permanently). We will love this because, as I mentioned before, mastery does not hurt and it is preferable than the proc that gives us enchant necklace: paw mark, although we can value it, especially if we play fist weaving. In no case compensates mark of the elder priestess.
- Rings. We have two enchantments, one more expensive and one cheaper. The expensive: critical strike bond (+200 critical hit); and the cheap: critical hit word (+150 critical hit).
- Cover. We have two enchantments, one more expensive and one cheaper. The expensive: intellect bond (+200 Intellect); and the cheap: intellect word.
Gems
- We can equip a single gem of intellect saber eye, which increases our intellect by 200 points.
- The rest of the team must go with eye of deadly prophecy (+150 critical hit).
Consumables
Flasks and potions
- As a potion we will use by default law torrent potion, although for special occasions in which we cannot stop to subtract, we will use ancient mana potion. As pre-pot at a high level we will use: potion of the old war.
- As a jar we will use: flask of the whispered pact (+1300 Intellect).
- It is advisable to replace the sorcerer's stone (life stone healing), per ancient healing potion, because it shares cooldown time.
Meals
We can eat the delicacy of hungry magister (+375 critical) or opt for a more basic (and cheap) meal: Law barbecue rib (+300 critical).
Runes
Desecrated Augment Rune gives us 325 intellect.
Rotation and tips
A healer has to use abilities as combat demands, there is no predefined rotation to heal. But remember that if you have chosen lifecycles, you will have to alternate enveloping fog with vivify frequently. To lift a heavily wounded ally, I usually use focused thunder to convert enveloping fog in an instant ability. Afterwards, I throw several effuse, vivify o sheilun gift; depending on the artifact's charges or if other allies are taking damage. Even if vivify be a cure in area, it is affected by our master's degree in the target we throw it at, so we will raise the life of the heavily wounded ally equal to or better than with effuse. If the damage is moderate, we can lift it with renewing mist, enveloping fog and let him channel the comforting mist or directly pass on to another ally. I highly recommend, use renewing mist to reuse and combine it if possible with focused thunder to have two or three charges instead of one.
If we have mana tea or our companions throw at us abilities that reduce the cost of mana, essence source it is a good option for lifting lives when players are separated or raid damage is widespread. This ability is also benefited by our master's degree.
Revival y vital chrysalis are cooldowns strong healer that we will have. Use them with your head or when the raid leader I ask you.
