BiS Gear Guide for Mistweaver Monks

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.

2.

Gearing up for The War Within

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.

Master of Harmony:

  • Monk Master of Harmony 11.2 Class Set 2pc Icon Monk Master of Harmony 11.2 Class Set 2pc — Gaining vitality has an increasing chance to cause your next Tiger Palm Icon Tiger Palm to unleash a Harmonic Surge, dealing high Nature damage split between your target and other nearby enemies, and a large amount of healing to up to 5 injured allies.

The Durable Information Securing Container (DISC) Belt

Patch 11.1.7 introduced a unique belt, the Durable Information Securing Container Icon Durable Information Securing Container. By venturing into delves you are be able to acquire this item after a short questline.

The belt can reach a maximum item level of 701, meaning it will remain relevant until you start to push into Mythic raids or higher level Mythic+. Of the 9 powers on offer, we will want to use Spark Burst Icon Spark Burst, though Critical Chain Icon 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 Icon 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.
