Mistweaver Monk Healing Spec, Builds, and Talents — The War Within Pre-Patch

Ideally, the best method for selecting talents is to gain a robust understanding of their strengths and weaknesses and then select the one most suited to the job at hand. However, as general recommendations, the following builds work well for their intended purposes. To see how these talents affect your rotation, check out our rotation guide.

It should also be noted that talents are now able to be free-swapped outside of combat. They do not require a rest area, tome, or any other frictional mechanics, so feel free to experiment!
