Mistweaver Monk Healing Gear and Best in Slot — Shadowlands 9.0.2

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 gain net you the greatest benefit 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 also how to optimize your characters with consumables, check out our Gem, Enchant, and Consumable page below.

For the first week of Shadowlands, much of the end game methods of obtaining gear will be disabled. Not only will Raids be closed, but Mythic+ will also be unavailable. As such the only real ways of obtaining gear to get ready for the following weeks will be through crafting and Normal/Heroic Dungeons. It should be noted though, that while crafted gear is higher item level than Normal Dungeons, it is lower than Heroic, so you should not invest too much into it.

It should be noted that weapons do not drop in Castle Nathria. Instead, certain boss drop tokens that you can then exchange for weapons at your covenant. Every covenants has the same weapons, just with different names and appearances.

Equally the value of the Raid trinkets is still up in the air. They will be added to this guide closer to the release of Mythic.

When crafting your first legendary, unless you prefer one of the other ones, Tear of Morning is the best all-around pick. It has very powerful single target and AoE throughput, and functions excellently in Raid, Mythic+ and solo content.
