Mistweaver Monk Healing Ny'alotha Raid Guide — Shadowlands Pre-Patch 9.0.1

This page is meant to be a rough outline of what to do on each fight as a Mistweaver specifically. It is advisable to familiarize yourself with the mechanics and strategy of each encounter on our Nyalotha Raid Guide section.

Keep in mind that the Essence recommendations are for the standard Mistweaving playstyle. If you are using the Haste Build, then you will want to swap The Ever-Rising Tide into the Major slot, and Memory of Lucid Dreams into a Minor slot.

We advise you to use the following essences against Wrathion, the Black Emperor.

• Major Slot
  • Memory of Lucid Dreams — Rank 3: Memory of Lucid Dreams + Lucid Dreams
• Minor Slots
  • Conflict and Strife — Rank 3: Strife
  • The Ever-Rising Tide — Rank 3: The Ever-Rising Tide
  • The Formless Void — Rank 3: Symbiotic Presence

Mistweaver has more mobility than it needs for this fight, so look for opportunities to give Tiger's Lust to any raid member who might be lagging behind during the intermissions. During the 2nd phase, if there is no healing to be done, try to apply your Mystic Touch to as many pillars as possible using Spinning Crane Kick.

For Mythic difficulty, you will want to proactively use Tiger's Lust to clear the slow from people who need it.

For more information, please refer to our Wrathion, the Black Emperor guide.
