Mistweaver Monk Healing Spec, Builds, and Talents — The War Within (Season 1)

Warning: There is currently a bug affecting the talent Jade Bond causing it to do significantly less healing than it is supposed to. This is caused by a Shadowlands soulbind conduit of the same name, overriding our talent's 500% bonus healing with a 10% bonus healing instead. If you are experiencing this problem, go to your Shadowlands Covenant's Forge of Bonds and remove the Jade Bond soulbind conduit.

This build plays into the "dps into healing" aspects of our kit. Its goals are to maintain a large amount of Renewing Mists during our Invoke windows, and aggressively spot healing with Vivify outside of your cooldowns. Rising Sun Kick also needs to be cast on cooldown to maximize the HoT extension effect it brings.

This build is built around raid healing using ramp windows. The aim is to maintain as many Renewing Mists as possible, then we use Invoke Yu'lon, the Jade Serpent to ramp up even more via Rapid Diffusion culminating in a Soothing Mist into Vivify spam. Once our ramp is set up, we can freely spam Vivifies until our ramp dies down.

This build is aimed more towards dealing damage and semi-passive healing via Jadefire Stomp. On the Monk side, it opts into more utility like interrupts and CCs in order to prevent damage before it even happens. Also, it leans more into the DPS side of things since Mythic+ is much more DPS-centric. As for the Mistweaver side, it is more of the same: leaning into dealing damage and relying on Jadefire Stomp and its supporting talents to take care of the maintenance healing.

This build is largely the same as our Mythic+ build, except it takes Soothing Mist and Elusive Mists for more on-demand, single target focused healing, as well as a few more bits of utility like Crashing Momentum.

In general, you will want to pull as aggressively as you can while using your Jadefire Stomp talents and Spinning Crane Kick to keep yourself alive. If you find that your passive healing is being outstripped by your damage intake, then HoT yourself up, and if that's still not enough, then make use of your mobility and Crashing Momentum in order to create some breathing room for you to be able to heal yourself.

It should be noted that Windwalker is likely the superior option for solo delve content, as the moment-to-moment gameplay is extremely similar, but Windwalker will just put out more DPS. In both instances, you will be in melee, hitting Tiger Palm, Blackout Kick, and Rising Sun Kick, however Windwalker at least has a fully fleshed-out damage kit and isn't at the whims of our dear NPC Brann Bronzebeard to follow and attack the correct targets.
