Mistweaver Monk Healing Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible Raid Guide — Dragonflight 10.2.7
On this page, you will find tips, tricks, and strategies tailored to your Mistweaver Monk for each boss of the following raid: Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible. All our content is updated for World of Warcraft — Dragonflight 10.2.7.
Introduction
The following guide will explain some tips and tricks for Mistweaver Monks in Vault of the Incarnates. For a complete understanding of specific mechanics or the encounters in general, be sure to check out our Aberrus page.
Talent Cheatsheet
We recommend using the Rising Mist build for Aberrus.
However, both the Rising Mist and
Tear of Morning builds are likely to be
competitive, and pre-patch is the perfect time to experiment and see which playstyle
you prefer. More details about the builds can be found in our
//www.icy-veins.com/wow/mistweaver-monk-pve-healing-rotation-cooldowns-abilities section.
Kazzara, the Hellforged
Tips
- Use
Transcendence to mitigate the knockback from
Wings of Extinction while also taking advantage of
Escape from Reality to spam cheap Vivifies into the raid.
- Damage to the raid can ramp up significantly when the boss is below 30%, so it is a good idea to have a cooldown ready to go for if things get dicey.
For more information, please refer to our Kazzara guide.
The Amalgamation Chamber
Tips
- Be on the lookout to use
Tiger's Lust to speed up some of your slower raid members especially during
Molten Eruption or
Convergent Eruption.
- During Phase 2, make sure
Transcendence is set up with the ranged so that when
Gloom Conflagration happens, you can soak it with the melee, then port away to dodge the follow-up damage from
Coalescing Void. You can also make use of
Escape from Reality to heal up the damage after you port out, then port back into melee.
The Forgotten Experiments
Tips
- Use
Roll to quickly get out of the way of
Massive Slam and
Bellowing Roar
Unstable Essence needs to be dispelled in a particular and controlled way. You should talent into
Restoral to avoid accidentally dispelling them by mistake. However, your guild may find it advantageous to plan around that and use
Revival as a mass dispel, so just be sure to coordinate with your raid leader.
For more information, please refer to our Forgotten Experiments guide.
Rashok, the Elder
Tips
- Make sure
Transcendence is placed near the boss so you can quickly port back into melee after soaking
Doom Flames.
- Have a personal cooldown such as
Diffuse Magic or
Dampen Harm for when you have to soak
Charged Smash
- When the boss is moved to the center of the room and casts
Siphon Energy the raid will take enormous damage - have either your Celestial or
Revival ready to help survive the damage. This is also a good point for personal defensive cooldowns.
For more information, please refer to our Rashok the Elder guide.
Assault of the Zaqali
Tips
- Dispel Magma Flow quickly.
- If your raid is short on interrupts, you can consider talenting into
Spear Hand Strike to help interrupt the
Lava Bolts.
- Use
Tiger's Lust to quickly deliver the rocks that fall from the ceiling to the yellow arrows on the side of the platform to prevent some adds from spawning.
For more information, please refer to our Assault of the Zaqali guide.
The Vigilant Steward, Zskarn
Tips
- Use
Life Cocoon to help your Off-Tank soak
Shrapnel Bombs.
- Have your
Transcendence in the middle of the room to quickly reposition for
Tactical Destruction. Just be aware of its placement, as a random trap could have become active on top of it while you were not looking.
- Alternatively you can instead place your
Transcendence on the boss and use it to avoid the
Blast Wave knockback. You will need to replace the port more often. However, it will allow you to make better use of
Escape from Reality.
Magmorax
Tips
- This fight is a huge HPS throughput check, so be ready to use your raid cooldowns early and often.
- Look to be soaking as many
Magma Puddles as you can, while not going above 15-20 stacks. If your stacks get high, use a personal defensive cooldown to mitigate the damage.
- Keep your
Transcendence so you can make frequent use of
Escape from Reality to help keep your mana healthy. Equally, you can use it to return to the boss after soaking a Magma Puddle or
Lava Ejection.
- If your group is not using a Warlock gate, then
Transcendence can also be used to dodge the
Overpowering Stomp.
For more information, please refer to our Magmorax guide.
Echo of Neltharion
Tips
- Make sure targets with
Volcanic Heart have a
Renewing Mist on them so you will still be able to heal them if they drop out of line of sight. You may also want to use
Life Cocoon on one of them.
- Make sure the raid is healthy before each
Echoing Fissure, as it gets stronger after cast.
- In Phase 2, make sure whoever gets
Corruption is topped off before they become hostile.
For more information, please refer to our Neltharion guide.
Scalecommander Sarkareth
Tips
- Damage in phase 1 is intense, so use cooldowns early and often. You can use
Invoke Yu'lon, the Jade Serpent a few seconds before the pull and cover the first 30 seconds of the fight, basically solo.
- Make sure you have your
Renewing Mists ramped up for
Mass Disintegrate.
For more information, please refer to our Scalecommander Sarkareth guide.
