Mistweaver Monk Healing Mythic+ Tips — Midnight Season 1

This build relies on frequent use of your DPS abilities such as Spinning Crane Kick and Blackout Kick in order to cover the majority of the maintenance healing in dungeons via Way of the Crane and Jadefire Teachings. You will be able to maintain full coverage of Renewing Mist as well by frequently pressing Rising Sun Kick.

When more direct healing is required, Sheilun's Gift can be used to instantly top someone off, then Mana Tea can be used to recharge your spent Sheilun stacks.

This build generally plays the same as the Conduit build, however at the moment, the tuning is a bit lacking. Normally these talents would be taken to buff your damage output, but they have not been tuned in such a way as to be competitive with Conduit.

That being said, the gameplay of the talent build is still fun, so for completing lower-stakes keys, you might want to give it a shot.

Midnight has removed interrupt abilities from most healers, Mistweaver included. We no longer have access to Spear Hand Strike, so we must rely on our groups to kick important casts.

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

Leg Sweep is one of your "AoE stops". It 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 for 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 since we are in melee, our orbs will be easily soaked by nearby melee. Depending on your group, you may need to Roll out to tag a ranged player instead.

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 can be used the moment these mobs spawn, as they have 1hp, but a large shield. If talented into Fatal Touch, you can use Touch of Death on every other spawn.
