Mistweaver Monk Healing Mythic+ Tips — The War Within (Season 1)

Spear Hand Strike is your "kick" and your most important bit of utility in Mythic+, used to stop enemy casts for the benefit of the group and especially the tank. It is highly recommended to use a Focus Kick macro for this.

• /stopcasting
• /stopcasting
• /cast [@focus,exists,nodead][@mouseover,exists,nodead] [] Spear Hand Strike

This macro will kick your focus target if you have one, mouseover if you have no Focus target, and your target if you have neither of those.

To quickly set a focus target in hectic scenarios, we also recommend a Focus Mouseover macro.

• /focus [@mouseover]

Make sure that your UI shows your Focus Target's casts clearly so that you are always able to kick it on cooldown or in coordination with the rest of your group.

It should be noted that for many abilities that mobs will cast, "stopping" a spell is just a stopgap to buy. If an enemy has a "kickable" cast that is stopped by anything other than an interrupt spell such as Spear Hand Strike, they will simply try to cast the same spell again.

Leg Sweep is one of your "AoE stops". It simply stuns all enemies within 6 yards for 3 seconds. Perfect for preventing multiple abilities from going off at once if your group is low on kicks or from saving your tank, allowing them to create some distance.

Ring of Peace is your second "AoE stop" and will be used the same way as Leg Sweep most of the time. However, rather than being a stun, Ring of Peace creates a zone on the ground that knocks any enemies out of it and will continue to knock enemies out that try to enter. This can be used to stop a large group of mobs from casting or placed on your tank to give them a window of safety. You can also use this ability to prevent a fixated mob from reaching their target.

Because Ring of Peace is a persistent area knock-back, in certain circumstances, you can lock enemy mobs down For longer than intended - if two Monks are in the same group, they can create a Venn diagram with their Rings in order to bounce mobs back forth between the two until one of them fades. In that same vein, if mobs are near a wall, with careful positioning, you can cause your ring to infinitely knock them against the wall. Finally, Ring of Peace also does not trigger combat with a mob, meaning it can be used to move a group of mobs out of your way so that your group can sneak by undetected.

Paralysis is an incredibly versatile spell, allowing you to instantly crowd control a single target from 20 yards away while also not engaging in combat with them. That means if a patrol is pathing towards your group, you can Paralyze the lead mob, and usually, the adds following them will stop and wait as well. You can also pair this with Ring of Peace in order to bounce Paralyzed mobs a bit further than they'd normally go while also preventing them from trying to run back to where they were.

When used in combat, it can be a simple ranged single-target stop, or if talented into Pressure Points, it can be used to remove enrage effects from the target as well.

Crashing Momentum can be used to slow a large group of packs if you find that your tank has run out of cooldowns and needs to run away from a particularly scary pull.

Transcendence is easily one of our most powerful spells, allowing us to teleport through moving barrier mechanics, quickly reposition, or, if your reactions are fast enough, negate knock-back abilities that would otherwise knock you off a ledge.

Our myriad of crowd control is excellent for this Affix. Between Ring of Peace, Leg Sweep, Spear Hand Strike, and Paralysis, we have got more then enough tools to assist the group.

This affix is fairly straightforward for Mistweavers as we can simply rotate around the mob to help soak the incoming crystals.

Revival can clear this in a pinch; otherwise, use Detox on priority targets and just heal the rest of it off normally. Diffuse Magic can be used to remove it from yourself if you think you aren't going to need the damage reduction soon.

Touch of Death should be used to help finish off the add as quickly as possible.
