Mistweaver Monk Healing Gear and Best in Slot — The War Within (11.1.7)

Because of the diverse nature of gear and the variability of item level due to things like the weekly cache, a true "best in slot" list is slippery. You should always be equipping items that will benefit you based on your stat weights. To acquire said weights, use WoW Analyzer. More on that can be found below.

To find out how to best augment your gear with enchants and gems and optimize your characters with consumables, check out our Gem, Enchant, and Consumable page below.

Upon reaching Level 80, you have 3 main options to start gearing your character: Dungeons and Raids, PvP such as Arena or Battlegrounds, and world systems like Renown with the four main Reputations.

Once you can get invited to Mythic dungeons, be sure to complete each one during your first week, then look to see if you can find groups for your preferred style of play, be that Mythic+ or Rated PvP.

Trinket #1	Mister Pick-Me-Up	Sprocketmonger Lockenstock in Liberation of Undermine
Trinket #2	Mug's Moxie Jug	Mug'Zee in Liberation of Undermine

The ranking system is as follows:

1. A Tier: These trinkets are by far the strongest and are always good options.
2. B Tier: are slightly weaker than A but may be lacking in certain areas.
3. C Tier: are middling trinkets that have either difficult-to-use effects or random procs that drastically reduce their effective value.
4. D Tier: These are generally worthless trinkets you should avoid.

• Mister Pick-Me-Up
• Mug's Moxie Jug
• Eye of Kezan
• Soulletting Ruby
• Signet of the Priory

• Reverb Radio
• Entropic Skardyn Core
• Carved Blazikon Wax
• Burin of the Candle King (Good option in Mythic+ to survive one-shots)
• House of Cards (Again, for Mastery builds)

• Ingenious Mana Battery
• Gallagio Bottle Service
• Vial of Spectral Essence
• Remnant of Darkness
• Goldenglow Censer from Delves

In Patch 11.1.7 you will be able to acquire a new belt from Delves, the Durable Information Securing Container. By venturing into Overcharged Delves you will be able to acquire this item after a short questline.

For more information on how to acquire or upgrade the belt, make sure to check out our dedicated Overcharged Delves guide!

The belt can reach a maximum item level of 701, meaning it will likely outclass any other option currently available to us. Of the 9 powers on offer, we will want to use Spark Burst, though Critical Chain is also a good option. Changing powers is as simple as right-clicking your belt, so feel free to experiment.

For Mythic+ you may be tempted to run Static Charge, however due to our high APM play style, you will likely find yourself burning through that proc before you can make effective use of it.

The War Within Season 2 offers a way to acquire specific items from Liberation of Undermine through the new Puzzling Cartel Chip. These chips will allow you to purchase any item you want from raid bosses that you have previously killed. For example, if you want a Mythic Mister Pick-Me-Up then you will need to have killed Spocketmonger Lockenstock on Mythic difficulty at least once. In total, you will be able to buy 3 items with this system. For more information on how this system works and where to buy your items, check out our dedicated Puzzling Cartel Chip section!

We have compiled a list of high-value items that you should prioritize with your Cartel Chips in The War Within Season 2 as Mistweaver Monk. This list is not exhaustive or in order of priority, and you are best served simming yourself for optimal results as the best pick will depend on the gear you already have available.

• Mister Pick-Me-Up is far and away the strongest trinket for us;
• Mug's Moxie Jug is our other BiS trinket;
• Eye of Kezan can be powerful on fights longer than 6 minutes;
• Blastfurious Machete if you haven't crafted a weapon yet.

Cyrce's Circlet is a ring added in Patch 11.0.7 that you can acquire by completing the intro quest line on the new Siren Isle. This ring is customizable via its 3 unique sockets, each of which can be fitted with a gemstone of its type (Thunder, Sea, and Wind). There are 4 gems of each type, for a total of 12 to choose from.

This ring starts at ilvl 639, and can be upgraded to 658 over the course of 6 weeks by doing weekly quests on Siren's Isle. Because of this heightened ilvl, this ring will remain competitive through the start of season 2.

You will want to replace this ring once you acquire a Myth track ring.

These are generally considered to be the best gems, but that may change depending on your gear and/or goals (Mythic+ players may want to try damage gems for example).

• Stormbringer's Runed Citrine;
• Legendary Skipper's Citrine;
• Mariner's Hallowed Citrine.

For more information on how to get the ring, as well as acquiring all of the different gems that you can possibly socket into it, check out our Cyrce's Circlet guide below!

When an item is being crafted, you can add a reagent called an Embellishment that will cause that piece of gear to have a specific proc, depending on the reagent used. Additionally, some pieces of gear come with embellishments already on them. You can wear a maximum of 2 pieces of embellished gear.

The following are the best Embellishments for Mistweaver Monk:

• Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension
• Darkmoon Sigil: Symbiosis

Tier Sets are a group of items that provide you with bonuses depending on how many items of that group you equip. These are always dropped from raids, but you can also acquire them from your Great Vault or by upgrading items via the Matrix Catalyst. The bonuses for Mistweavers are as follows:

• Monk Mistweaver 11.1 Class Set 2pc — Healing spells have a chance to apply Insurance! to your target, healing them for a large amount over 15 seconds. If the target drops below 40% Health, Insurance is consumed, healing the player for a moderate amount.
• Monk Mistweaver 11.1 Class Set 4pc — Renewing Mist applies Insurance! to its target for 6 seconds, and Insurance's strength is increased by up to 50%, in proportion to the coverage of Renewing Mist on your group, up to 10 players

This tier set adds a very powerful HoT to our kit that will passively increase our HPS by quite a bit. It should be noted that Insurance! is amped by our bonus healing effects like Enveloping Mist and Chi Harmony, and that the 50% bonus of the 4-set scales with your group. If you have 5 people in your group, then all 5 need Renewing Mist on them in order to get the full bonus.
