Are the stat weights of noxxic still updatet? Does anyone know? Are they even "right"?

If not i would be very pleased to see the stat weights of this mistweaver guide :)

Personally, I would steer clear of Noxxic's stat weights.

If you want to find stat weights for Mistweaver, use the spreadsheet I've linked just above. It's the most reliable thing available for finding them.

Generic comment being mass posted over the comments threads guys.

We are aware of the changes and our writers are working hard to update the guides to suit what has changed. Currently, there is a lot of work still to be done and it's unlikely that every guide will be up-to-date immediately. Expect a flood of updates over the coming days that will answer all of your questions about what is now best after X change, in time for the reset next week.

Thanks for your understanding and patience.

Hey Icy Veins, thanks SO much for the artifact guides!  However, as a colorblind person, I find it extremely difficult to read the artifact maps.  If it would be possible to tweak the colors of the lines to more discernible colors, or even better - to textured/dotted/hashed lines, that would be super helpful.  Thanks again for all your work in providing this info for everyone! :D

This is something we've noted and were aware of, we're just trying to find the time to get it fixed! In the meantime, there should be an easy-to-follow text description under the artifact graph. If you're having trouble working it out, please feel free to message me and I would be more than happy to help you in any way that I can with working out your path :)

While i love the info and the guide, just cannot agree with the mastery opinion.   my MW has 2 mastery sets and a crit+vers set, my high mastery set is insanely high %  (434% unbuffed mastery and 9% crit, 2% vers)   my crit set is 31% crit and 151% mastery, 11% vers.   so far, in every instance..the mastery has vastly out performed the crit (even though the crit has 12 ilvls on it) this includes emerald nightmare. im trying out a cross build now with 23% crit, but only 337% mastery and 5% vers....ill post my results when possible.

Any update on this? I feel like Mastery is the way to go on this

I have been having some internet issues  for a bit (getting new service soon) so i havent been able to post accurate logs anywhere (as lag spikes keep messing up everything), however...

IF you want to or like to use essence font as a main heal for any reason, mastery+ haste is the way to go as essence font gets 2 hits per target from mastery and haste makes it ..faster^^  so far my best results have been (for mistweaving only) 15%-20% haste +crit, and a minimum of 325% mastery. versatility is an amazing stat atm, but it is just too hard to get any good numbers out of it for the stat points.

IF you want to fistweave...i recommend going with 25-30% haste as a first priority then crit all the way and the reason for this is, as a fistweaver you need to be putting out a fair amount of damage  to compensate for the lower heals per cast.  fistweaving has the benefit of mana regen and dps (great for soloing  for some odd reason) but at a loss of heals per cast.   while mistweaving (with huge mastery) gets monster numbers per cast.

 atm, i am comparing 2 sets of gear, set 1 is ilvl 855, 29,207 int, 36% crit, 13% haste, 146% mastery, 1% versatility.  

set 2 is 845 ilvl, 28,090 int, 15% crit, 13% haste, 344% mastery, 2% versatility.

so far, unless i get a huge crit streak, the mastery set pulls ahead until i use essence font..then mastery skyrockets it beyond set 1.

total healing (non crit ) for essence font: set 1=1,281780   set 2= 1,934,568.   this is the baseline for 6 targets

enveloping mist: set 1 = 405,380.  set 2 = 450,248 

renewing mist: set 1= 285,120.   set 2 = 333,915

vivify: set 1 =  346,835.  set 2 =  392,782 .  this is for 3 targets

effuse: set 1 = 113,597.  set 2= 167,732

gusts of mist (mastery): set 1=  44,603.   set 2=  101,200

all numbers include only mastery bonus (gusts of mist)

Hi!

Mythic Dungeon questions

-I understand that TFT is a key  part in good healing. And i see most mention to use it usually on RM/Vivify, but is this almost on CD if dmg is pumping? Or do you save  1/2 for insta cast EM when the dmg is so spikey? 

- When the whole team in mythic is taking dmg do you use essense font or is it better to cast Vivify 2 x on different targets?

Best regards

I would use your own thoughts at this point. If you KNOW that spikey damage is incoming, I'd save it. It can be a great "oh damn" button. Otherwise, just keep it flowing on CD.

Vivify if you need to conserve mana, EF if you can spam.

Tooltip for soothing mist on here states that when channeling EM and Effuse become instant cast on your SM target. That's wrong, isn't it? Have I missed a super cool talent somewhere or what?

Hi Monky friends !

I am pretty new to the game, since I played only a few weeks in MoP, but this time I really enjoy my little -big coz of the Panda thing- Monk.

I am currently a classic Mistweaver, but I read a lot about Fistweaver, and I see that one of the best legendary item is for Fistweaver, so I wanna learn a little bit about this different kind way of playing the Monk.

- Which one heal the most ? Or maybe it's kinda the same, just the FW provide some DPS? Coz I dont see where Fistweaver will provide some healing.

- In term of DPS, how much it is? It's kinda the same as a Disc ?

- What's the DPS rotation? And, this rotation, it's only something that takes place when you don't heal, am I right? When you don't DPS, you use your common healing spells, FW is not a different way of healing, it's just an additional dps ?

- Last but not least, in the guide, they said that, in T7, Rising Thunder is "lot of free DPS", I don't get it? Ok you reset your TFT, but where you gain DPS? If you TFT -> 2 Renew -> TFT again -> 2 Renew, so you have 4 people with Renew so you can DPS?

 

Sorry if you already talked about this, it's just that you talk about Fistweaving into the guide, and it wasn't very clear for me. Thanks for the time you'll take to answer me !

Fistweaving isn't about producing healing specifically, but about amplifying your ability to heal during periods of down time, such as resetting the cooldown of TFT.

Disc is better.

I can't explain it much better than this:

Quote

If you have taken at least the Spirit of the Crane Icon Spirit of the Crane talent (tier 3), or both that and Rising Thunder Icon Rising Thunder (tier 7), then you have chosen to fistweave. In short, this means you will also use Tiger Palm Icon Tiger Palm, Blackout Kick Icon Blackout Kick, and possibly also Rising Sun Kick Icon Rising Sun Kick in addition to using your healing spells.

Since this playstyle offers only a minor increase in healing at the expense of complication the rotation, we will keep all explanations pertaining to it in this section.

To begin with, if you are fistweaving, you will have to stand in melee range of the boss or of another target which you can attack (such as an add).

If you have only taken Spirit of the Crane, then you will have to use 3 Tiger Palm Icon Tiger Palms in succession, followed by a Blackout Kick IconBlackout Kick. All the Tiger Palms do is stack your Teachings of the Monastery Icon Teachings of the Monastery buff up to 3. Then, Blackout Kick (used while the afore-mentioned buff is still active, so within a 7-second window of having used Tiger Palm) will restore Mana thanks to Spirit of the Crane.

You should use this combination as often as possible, but only during downtime when you do not need to actively heal (since it provides no healing). If you are fistweaving, then this will likely simply take the place of channeling Soothing Mist Icon Soothing Mist.

If you have also taken the Rising Thunder Icon Rising Thunder talent, then you will have to incorporate Rising Sun Kick Icon Rising Sun Kick into the rotation. Using Rising Sun Kick will reset the cooldown of Thunder Focus Tea Icon Thunder Focus Tea, which is obviously very beneficial.

At this point, it is worth pointing out that (thanks to the Teachings of the Monastery passive) you have a 15% chance for Blackout Kick to reset the cooldown of Rising Sun Kick. The result of this is that you should use Rising Sun Kick as often as possible (to benefit from all the cooldown resets), and in turn it means you must make as much use as possible of Thunder Focus Tea (to make sure that each time you use Rising Sun Kick, it does actually reset the cooldown of Thunder Focus Tea)

It's just the guide section, but it is the most in-depth description that I know of. It's not really a set rotation per se.

I think this should actually be HPS. Will double check!

Just asking, and possibly making a suggestion.  Have the makers of this guide heard of the Mistweaver addon?  It's on curse, and it's practically Healbot but specifically for Mistweaver monk.  If you guys HAVE heard of it, do you know why you didn't put it on the list?  I use it and face very little issues, so i would just like to know why i might not want to be using it.

Its just like any other addon out there, some will like it and some wont. I installed it to see what it was and its just like having my skills drawn out from my actual bar which I find highly useless since I already have a skillbar for just that purpose but its like you say, healbot but for mistweavers and me personally dont see why one would need this :) If this benefits your gameplay and it improves your healing, dont hesitate to keep using it though.

I think this is basically the reason why something like this wouldn't be included. Using something like Healbot can end up being a pretty huge change in playstyle for people, especially when you start using the "Click to act" sort of things. We're more trying to point people towards general addons that amplify the current playstyle.

I go crit > haste > mastery..kinda for M+ i do well there as well in raids. I have 0 versatility. I aim for like 33% crit 18% haste rest mastery; Would love to have mastery higher..im at 20% haste and im struggling to drop 2% more haste and go mastery. mastery is so important, in raids and in m+ its either rank 2 - 4 in biggest heals.

 

Trying to wrap my head around this versatility. some guy 885 lfr had like 14% vers, 4% haste 32% crit 212% mastery and i outperformed him even though im only 880. Dunno how i feel about this. Kinda think haste and vers can be interchangeable.

Unfortunately, comparing by meters doesn't show the actual ability of the player. It might be that one of the players in question is far better than the other. 

If possible, next time you make a comparison, try to make a log of the fight so that we can actually see how each healer performed in regards to their playstyle and rotation.

Anyway, the priority will most likely see changes when 7.1.5 when the patch drops with all the changes!

      The fourth War Within Alpha build brought some changes to Skyriding powers.
      Skyriding Power Changes
      Skyriding Basics- While falling from a high location, your mount Dragon Isles drake extends its wings to propel you both forward. Pointing yourself downward grants more momentum. Evening out can transfer that momentum forward. Pointing yourself upward slows you down. When at your slowest, you will start to fall slowly toward the ground. You also gain access to the following abilities: Surge Forward Flap forward. Skyward Ascent Flap upward. Skyrider's Initiative- While dragonriding skyriding at middle speed and above, you gain stacks of Dragonrider's Skyrider's Initiative, up to 10. When landing at mid-to-high speeds, you create a shockwave, damaging enemies for [ Greater of {72% of Spell Power} or {72% of Attack Power * (1 + 0) / 10} ] per stack, split among them, and disorienting them for 3 sec. Landing at low speeds cancels Dragonrider's Skyrider's Initiative. Skyrider's Hunt- Defeating an enemy increases your Vigor  will grant your you 1 vigor. Vigor recharge rate by 10% for 3 sec. This effect can only occur once every 10 sec. Ground Skimming- When dragonriding skyriding near the ground, you regenerate 1 Vigor every 30 sec. This effect does not occur while affected by Thrill of the Skies unless Swift Skimming is learned. Thrill of the Skies- While dragonriding skyriding at high speeds, you regenerate 1 Vigor every 15 sec. Vigor- Dragonriding Skyriding abilities spend Vigor. Spending time on the ground, whether mounted or dismounted, regenerates 1 Vigor every 30 sec. Skyrider's Cultivation- Gathering herbs or minerals increases your Vigor recharge rate by 400% for 3 sec will replenish 1 vigor. Skyrider's Compassion- While airborne on a Skyriding mount, Dragon Isles drake, you gain stacks of Dragonrider's Skyrider's Compassion, up to 10. When you dismount, you gain a shield worth 1% of your health and gain 1% movement speed per stack, lasting 30 sec Lift Off- When mounted on a dragonriding skyriding mount, double jump to launch upward and start gliding forward. Skyriding Skill Track
      In the War Within expansion, the Dragonriding Skill Track has been updated:
      Dragonriding Glyphs have been renamed to Skyriding power (current PH name is Dragon Power) You will gain extra Skyriding power as you level. The costs of all Skyriding Powers has been reduced to 1 Dragon Power. A premade Level 70 template character starts with 20 Skyriding power and can unlock all the perks in the tree.
      On the right side, you can enable/disable the Ride Along feature and the second node lets you pick between Whirling Surge and Lightning Rush at no cost.

      All Mists of Pandaria raids and World Bosses are on a daily lockout in Patch 10.2.7.
      We're not sure if the change is intended or a MoP Remix feature, but somehow, daily lockouts for MoP raids and World Bosses have slipped through to live servers even before the event's starts on May 16. Maybe this is a way to give retail players more chances on Tusks of Mannoroth since you can buy them directly from a vendor during MoP Remix.
      If you're farming Garrosh, don't forget there is a skip at the beginning of the raid. As you enter, interact with the scroll on the wall.

      Gleeful Glamour is an Enchanting item in the War Within that lets you temporarily change the race of your character.
      Enchanting adds interesting scrolls that let you cosmetically change your character's race for a short period of time. The associated spell with all the transformations is: 
      Magical Mischief - Don the mask, magically altering your appearance to that of another one of Azeroth's residents. Lasts 20-60 min. based on the quality of the Gleeful Glamour. (1 sec cast, 2 hrs cooldown) From the description, we know the transformation lasts for 20-60 minutes and is on a 2-hour cooldown.

      Blizzard has added Glyph of Jab for Monks in the War Within, making Tiger Palm strike your target with your equipped weapon!
      We've got some great news for all Monk players out there. In the War Within expansion, Blizzard has added Glyph of Jab that makes Tiger Palm strike your target with your equipped weapon, instead of your fists.

      In the past, Glyph of Jab was a minor glyph used by monks, designed to ensure that the Jab ability was executed with hands and fist animations even when non-fist weapons were equipped. You will find more details here.
