Mistweaver Monk Healing Best Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — 12.0.5

This section specifically covers the optimal gems, enchants, food, and flasks to use for your character. To get a more detailed rundown of the different stats for Mistweaver Monk, please visit our dedicated Stats page.

Your priority for gems differs slightly between raiding and Mythic+, due to the difference in how they affect your healing and DPS output.

The best stats for Raiding Mistweaver Monks are Haste and Crit, so that is what we will be gemming for.

You should use Indecipherable Eversong Diamond in one socket, then fill the rest of your sockets with Flawless Deadly Peridots.

The best stats for Mythic+ Mistweaver Monks are still Haste and Crit but that can change depending on your goals. Haste will always be ideal to stack until you hit diminishing returns, but depending on if you intend pushing into higher levels of keys, Versatility will start becoming more and more important. It doesn't provide quite as much damage or healing throughput as Crit, but the damage reduction component will start to become necessary to survive the scaling 1-shot mechanics of high keys. Adjusting your gems is the fastest way to get more Versatility if you need it to survive.

Most of the time, you should use Indecipherable Eversong Diamond in one socket then fill the rest with Flawless Deadly Peridots. However if you are finding that you are comfortable on your haste and want a tiny bit more tankiness, you can opt for Flawless Quick Lapis instead. That being said, you will probably get better mileage by just sticking with the Peridots.

Consumables substantially increase the power of your character for a limited time. Any time you are challenging yourself with difficult content, it is advisable that you buff yourself with Flasks, Food, Potions, and Weapon Oils.

For most content Flask of the Blood Knights will be your standard choice, as it provides our strongest throughput stat. In Mythic+, there may be times in which you find that the extra Versatility from Flask of Thalassian Resistance is more beneficial in order to leverage the slight damage reduction.

For optimal throughput, you should be using Silvermoon Parade/ Harandar Celebration in order to gain primary stat. However, if these feasts are unavailable to you (as they can be cost prohibitive) then you should make use of Royal Roast. The secondary stat it provides is weaker than the Intellect you would gain from a feast, but it is much more affordable.

Mistweavers generally have three options for potions: Potion of Devoured Dreams for maximal mana return, Lightfused Mana Potion for immediate mana return, and Light's Potential for throughput. Generally, in raids you will be using Potion of Devoured Dreams and in Mythic+ you will be using Lightfused Mana Potion, but it is a good idea to carry a stock of all three in order to use whichever is best in the moment.

The best Weapon Oil for Mistweavers is Thalassian Phoenix Oil as it buffs both of our strongest secondary stats.
