How to Play Mistweaver Monk in Shadowlands Pre-Patch
Mistweaver Monks are a healing class in World of Warcraft. We are one of 6 different healing specializations in the game. We are also one of 3 classes that allow you to perform a tanking or DPS role with your offspecs.
Mistweaver Monks heal through a combination of Heal over Time effects (HoTs) and direct healing, using Mana as our primary resource. There are interactions between some of our spells, such as
also healing any target that is affected by our HoT,
, that highlight this. Mistweaver Monks are extremely mobile healers, through a combination of
,
, and the ability to talent into additional speed related spells, such as
.
Mistweaver Monks excel at strong single target healing, through the use of
allowing certain spells to be cast without a cast time, and also buffs such as
or
. The latter of which, will modify our base spells in different ways. Mistweaver Monks have a number of defensive abilities, which make them difficult to kill in encounters.
Mistweaver Monks, like all monks, have a connection to the Peak of Serenity, and can quickly travel back through the use of
. Monks can also float in meditation on a small cloud,
.
If you are looking for a more in-depth look at Mistweaver Monk, please check out the
beginner’s guide
or the
rotation guide
. Both will provide additional details on how to play Mistweaver Monk in Shadowlands.
How Different Does Mistweaver Monk Feel in the Shadowlands Pre-Patch?
Overall, MIstweaver Monks will play similarly to how we play currently. We did gain a few new abilities, which I will detail below, but these mostly do not affect our rotation or healing.
will still dominate your AoE and raid healing breakdown.
and
still have the same interaction, and
modifies our spells the same way it has in Battle for Azeroth.
Mistweaver Monks will gain access to two new Celestials.
is a redesign of the current Chi-ji, and will cast healing on an ally and 2 other targets. With a new talent,
, we can replace
with a spell that allows us to convert physical damage into healing, and reduce the cast time and mana cost of
. These two Celestials give Mistweaver Monks another baseline cooldown to use during high damage periods.
One thing to note,
cast time has been reduced from 30 seconds to 8 seconds. This means you will need to reapply the
more frequently than before. Other than this, Mistweaver Monks remain largely unchanged for pre-patch.
New Abilities for Mistweaver Monk in Shadowlands Pre-Patch
Mistweaver Monks gain some of our more iconic spells back in Shadowlands. We also have the addition of our newly reworked Celestials mentioned above. I’ll quickly list out some our new abilities, none of these impact our playstyle currently in pre-patch:
, a small self-heal for a large mana cost. This ability was used previously during Mists of Panderia and Warlords of Draenor as a Chi generator for when Mistweavers had Chi. In its current iteration and tuning, you will rarely cast this.
is back! We gain access to this damage ability in Shadowlands. Again, this is nothing special in the pre-patch, except to speed up your reclears or World Quests.
Mistweavers did gain two new Celestials, as mentioned above.
has been added as a baseline ability, essentially taking over for the talented Invoke Chi-ji, or Crackbird as the community called it. This gives Mistweavers a new 3 minute cooldown and something you can now use during high damage events. Along with this new baseline ability,
was added as a new 45 talent. This talent replaces
when taken, and is similar to the Way of the Crane PvP ability from Battle for Azeroth. This ability will convert your physical damage into healing, utilizing your Mastery. This is another 3 minute ability, with a melee range requirement. In Pre-patch this talent may not see much play, but once the additional ranks and effects from leveling to 60 are gained, you will be able to experience the full power of this spell.
How Do AoE Target Caps Affect Mistweaver Monk in Shadowlands Pre-Patch
Mistweaver Monks have a number of different abilities that have caps associated to them. In general, for healing spells, the caps dictate when the spell is the most efficient in a given situation, so normally cast a spell when there are an appropriate number of people in range and injured.
The various spell target caps are:
will hit 6 people per wave with the base spell having 3 total waves.
will increase the number of waves.
is uncapped.
will only hit 3 individuals per healing event.
is capped at 6 players.
is uncapped in terms of players hit. It will only hit a player once per
cast.
Our spammable AoE spell,
, is capped at 6 targets per tick.
is capped at 6 players for healing, but 20 players in terms of damage.
Finally,
, which you will never take as a Mistweaver, is capped at 7 targets or jumps.
The only notable cap from the above list is
. Since it is now capped, this will limit its healing potential during
. In Mythic+ this may be a big deal, but we will need to see if larger pulls are still normal in Mythic+ in Shadowlands.
How Do the GCD Changes Affect Mistweaver Monk in Shadowlands?
has been removed from the GCD and had its duration reduced from 12 sec to 10 sec to compensate.
This is a great change. The removal of
from the GCD now allows you to easily pair it with
to enable more efficient burst healing. You can also use it during periods where you may not have a throughput CD available, but still need to put out a lot of healing through
spread and
spamming. Overall this is a great change, that allows us to quickly use
and transition right into healing, without any delay from the GCD.
How Strong is Mistweaver Monk in Shadowlands Pre-Patch?
For Shadowlands pre-patch, Mistweavers relative power will remain flat. We don’t gain much in terms of our returning spells. The Celestials do provide a nice boost and cover for a gap in the current Mistweaver toolkit, which is that power increasing cooldown. Previously our only other cooldown was our raid cooldown,
.
With the AoE cap introduction, we will probably see Mistweavers drop slightly in Mythic+ for pre-patch. Druids will still reign supreme and Mistweavers are losing ground in this pre-patch time frame to them.
What are the Big Gameplay Changes for Mistweaver Monk?
In a word, none.
is still our primarily rotational ability, with
used to cover any smaller healing.
is still the top dog during any sort of raid wide AoE. You will still rarely cast
or
.
The addition of the Celestials,
or if talented,
provide nothing new in terms of gameplay.
is just the current Way of the Crane, with an added bonus that offers a free
after a number of damage events.
Moving into Shadowlands, there will be additional changes as Covenants and Soulbinds add additional interactions with both spells and Covenant abilities.
How does the Loss of Corruption Affect Mistweaver Monk in the Shadowlands Pre-Patch?
The loss of Corruption has a limited impact. Mistweavers were currently either stacking Versatility or Critical Strike. With the stat amplifiers removed, you will, of course, feel that in terms of the strength of your healing spells and your survivability, but gameplay-wise there is little to no change. You may feel it in a Mythic+ dungeon as you spend more time casting to top people off, but for raiding you will largely not miss it.
Best Talent Builds for Mistweaver Monk in Pre-patch
Both the Raiding and Mythic+ builds will not change much from their current live versions. You will be using some of your new spells such as
, but in general, your playstyle will remain the same.
There are a few talents you can swap around situationally:
As always,
will generally be the more useful defensive talent, however, based on specific boss fights
may be the more appropriate choice.
vs
will be a talent row you can swap between. In terms of power, they end up relatively even, with
being the easier option to maintain and gain the most benefit from.
The standard Mythic+ build does not change much for Mistweaver Monks going into Shadowlands. You will be playing the new
talent but other than that, the remainder of the build remains the same as it was in Battle for Azeroth.
As always,
will generally be the more useful defensive talent, however, based on affixes or specific dungeons,
may be the more appropriate choice.
continues to be strong in dungeons to cover multiple scenarios such as moving mobs out of or into certain other abilities, interrupting caster mobs, or pushing portions of packs away for specific pulls..
Best Rotation for Mistweaver Monk in Pre-Patch
As a healer, there is no set rotation for Mistweaver Monks; we operate on a priority system. In terms of rotation, not much is changing in Shadowlands. You will still keep
on cooldown as much as possible and utilize
to top light group damage.
is still your larger group heal to cast during heavier damage.
The new spell,
, does offer you a 3 minute power boosting cooldown. This is not something Mistweavers have had in the past, so for now, this is some additional healing that can be done during heavy damage periods.
For more information please head over to the
rotation guide
. This will provide additional details and depth on our healing spells.
Best Stats for Mistweaver Monk in Pre-Patch
There is no change in our stat priority for Shadowlands. Will will continue to favor the following:
Critical Strike
Versatility
Mastery
Haste
As always, this priority is the same across dungeons or raiding.
Best Azerite Traits for Mistweaver Monk in Pre-Patch
No changes to the previous priority.
continues to be our most impactful trait. This will be true across both raiding and dungeons.
Best Essences for Mistweaver Monk in Pre-Patch
The biggest change is that
no longer provides any benefit as a major slot essence. The updated PvP talent provided by the major power is
. It is still strong as a minor, but no longer equip this as your major essence. Apart from this change, your raid and mythic+ Essence setups will not differ from each other.

Essence guide

So the Shadowland changes still seem to have a focus on the 'Fistweaving' style (which I loathe)?
I guess that's why you're opting for Invoke Chi-Ji at 45, rather than the Jade Serpent Statue (which I think is awesome)?

Is the tooltip bugged for Invoke Chi-ji? Because it doesn't sound anything remotely similar to the current way of the crane. No damage is being converted into healing, we just get a heal every time we cast a damaging ability according to the tooltip.

I'm honestly just hoping a non-fistweaving spec stays viable for shadowlands, I've been a mistweaver main since mists of pandaria, and it seems since the end of bfa, fistweaving is being pushed as the main healing spec for monks and I dont like it :/ i came to heal and take names not uh..kick..things..and take names <.<. I'm forever watching things to see if I can make it work..I just want to stay relevant and useful.
