Mistweaver Monk Healing Gear and Best in Slot — Dragonflight 10.1.7

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 70, 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.

BiS List for Mistweaver Monk

This list contains the highest all-around HPS setup from most sources, for Mistweaver Monk. This does not take into account content-specific weights and instead opts for a primarily item-level-based approach.

In most non-Tier slots, a 447 iLvl Craft is technically optimal since you can customize the secondary stats to your liking. A few 450 iLvl Slots from Mythic Raid are the exception.

447 iLvl Great Vault items from Mythic+ are not listed here, as they are not targetable due to the RNG nature of the Vault. Mythic+ items are included at Item Level 441.

Raid Gear BiS List for Mistweaver Monk

This list contains the highest HPS setup, only using gear from the Aberrus Raid.

This list is mostly useful for informing your organized guild of what loot is optimal for you for loot distribution purposes.

Slot	Item	Source/Note
Weapon	Erethos, the Empty Promise (450)	Scalecommander Sarkareth
Helm	Cover of the Vermillion Forge (447)	Magmorax
Neck	Kagni's Scorching Talisman (447)	Assault of the Zaqali
Shoulder	Spines of the Vermillion Forge (450)	Echo of Neltharion
Cloak	Voice of the Silent Star (457)	Scalecommander Sarkareth
Chest	Cuirass of the Vermillion Forge (447)	Zskarn
Bracers	Bloodstench Skinguards (447)	Kazzara
Gloves	Fists of the Vermillion Forge (447)	The Forgotten Experiments
Belt	Elder's Volcanic Binding (447)	Rashok
Legs	Pantaloons of the Vermillion Forge (447)	Rashok
Boots	Failed Applicant's Footpads (447)	Zskarn
Ring #1	Tormentor's Siphoning Signet (447)	Rashok
Ring #2	Onyx Impostor's Birthright (450)	Mythic Echo of Neltharion in Aberrus
Trinket #1	Rashok's Molten Heart (447)	Mythic The Forgotten Experiments in Aberrus
Trinket #2	Neltharion's Call to Dominance (457)	Mythic Echo of Neltharion in Aberrus

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.

Rashok's Molten Heart is an outlier, and as such I am giving it its own tier above A Tier. This is an extremely powerful trinket; there's basically nothing wrong with it. It gives primary stat, mana regen, a bonus healing effect, and overhealing protection. On top of that, its proc rate scales with haste, making it a perfect addition to our arsenal.

The Patch 10.1.5 Megadungeon, Dawn of the Infinite, introduces several unique, new items. All items in the dungeon drop at Item Level 437 but can be upgraded to 441! The two trinkets that are available to Mistweavers, while likely not an upgrade over the "BiS" trinkets you can attain in Aberrus, they do offer some interesting effects.

• Echoing Tyrstone has static intellect as well as an on-use that lets you store a sizeable amount of healing once every 2 minutes. When anyone drops below 35%, it will heal them and anyone around them for the stored amount, as well as granting them a haste buff. It's also very easy to charge up by simply using a decently stacked Sheilun's Gift.
• Mirror of Fractured Tomorrows Is another static primary stat trinket that has a large on-use haste buff on a 3-minute cooldown. In addition to the extra haste, it will also summon a clone of yourself that will cast spells based on your spec.

With the updated crafting system introduced in Dragonflight, we have also seen the introduction of a new way to add interesting effects to your crafted gear: Embellishments. When an item is being crafted, you can add a reagent 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:

• Magazine of Healing Darts — This embellishment will randomly spit out healing to your group on a fairly high proc rate. However, it does have a high propensity to overheal, so it loses value in smaller groups and Mythic+.
• Potion Absorption Inhibitor — The benefits of this can be somewhat marginal, however it can be paired with a Potion of Chilled Clarity to regen mana while doing the rotation we would normally do while under the effects of Mana Tea or Innervate

It should also be noted that you can get a bonus quality of life embellishment that doesn't count towards your total in the form of Alchemical Flavor Pocket. It extends the duration of your food buff, as well as causing it to persist through death. Perfect for progressing on new bosses or pushing higher Mythic+

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 Inspiration Catalyst. The bonuses for Mistweavers are as follows:

• Monk Mistweaver 10.1 Class Set 2pc — Renewing Mist has a 4% chance to proc Soulfang Infusion which regenerates 3% of your mana over 3 seconds on a 6-second internal cooldown.
• Monk Mistweaver 10.1 Class Set 4pc — Any time you drink Tea ( Mana Tea) or Thunder Focus Tea, or any time you gain Soulfang Infusion, you gain a buff that increases the healing of your Renewing Mist and Vivify by 40% for 6 seconds.

These bonuses are so powerful that they open up alternate talent builds designed to capitalize on the healing bonus they provide. Check out our talent build guides for more info!

In Patch 10.0.7 Blizzard introduced the Onyx Annulet, a then powerful ring that was customizable with Primordial Stones. The power of this ring was already waning by the beginning of Season 2, and now , with the 40% nerfs to the Stones brought in by patch 10.1.5, this ring is no longer worth acquiring.
