General Information

On this page, we present you with the best gems and enchants for a Mistweaver Monk in World of Warcraft Legion 7.3. We also list the best consumables (food, flasks, and potions) and profession-specific perks.

The other pages of our Mistweaver Monk guide can be accessed from the table of contents on the right.

About Our Reviewer

This guide has been reviewed and approved by Suplift, a long-time Mistweaver Monk theorycrafter who raids in Ego (the guild that resulted from the merger of Lotion and Entropy). You can follow him on Twitter: @suplift.

1. Gems

The gems you will use depend on the type of content you are tackling.

1.1. Mistweaving

You should use Saber's Eye of Intellect in one socket, and Deadly Deep Chemirine (or the cheaper Deadly Eye of Prophecy) in all other sockets.

1.2. Fistweaving

You should use Saber's Eye of Intellect in one socket, and Versatile Labradorite (or the cheaper Versatile Maelstrom Sapphire) in all other sockets.

1.3. Mythic+

You should use Saber's Eye of Intellect in one socket, and Quick Dawnlight or Masterful Shadowruby (with the idea being to keep Haste and Mastery equal) in all other sockets.

2. Enchants

The enchants you will use depend on the type of content you are tackling. Regarding neck enchants, note that the difference in HPS between Enchant Neck - Mark of the Ancient Priestess and Enchant Neck - Mark of the Trained Soldier is very small. If you regularly do both raiding and dungeon content, using Mark of the Ancient Priestess as default is viable.

2.1. Mistweaving

Slot	Enchantment
Neck	Enchant Neck - Mark of the Ancient Priestess
Back	Enchant Cloak - Binding of Intellect Enchant Cloak - Word of Intellect (cheaper)
Rings	Enchant Ring - Binding of Critical Strike Enchant Ring - Word of Critical Strike (cheaper)

2.2. Fistweaving

Slot	Enchantment
Neck	Enchant Neck - Mark of the Ancient Priestess
Back	Enchant Cloak - Binding of Intellect Enchant Cloak - Word of Intellect (cheaper)
Rings	Enchant Ring - Binding of Versatility Enchant Ring - Word of Versatility (cheaper)

2.3. Mythic+

Slot	Enchantment
Neck	Enchant Neck - Mark of the Trained Soldier
Back	Enchant Cloak - Binding of Intellect Enchant Cloak - Word of Intellect (cheaper)
Rings	Enchant Ring - Binding of Haste or Enchant Ring - Binding of Mastery Enchant Ring - Word of Haste or Enchant Ring - Word of Mastery (cheaper)

3. Consumables

Flask of the Whispered Pact should be used for raids along with Potion of Prolonged Power and Leytorrent Potion as your potions of choice. The DPS potion can optionally be used as a pre-pot at the beginning of the fight where healing is not very intense, while your Leytorrent Potion is a one time usage potion per fight where you can restore Mana at the cost of not being able to cast or move while the effect lasts.

You should eat Lavish Suramar Feast for the buff to your Intellect (or the cheaper Hearty Feast if you cannot afford the +500 food).

Ancient Healing Potion can be used in place of Healthstones. Ancient Mana Potion can also be used once per fight as an instant Mana restore.

If you can afford it, you should also use augment runes (which work in both raids and Mythic+ dungeons). Defiled Augment Rune is the cheap rune with a one-time use. Lightforged Augment Rune costs 50,000 and requires exalted reputation with the Army of the Light faction.
