Mistweaver Monk Healing Spec, Builds, and Talents — Midnight Pre-Patch (12.0)

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

This build is aimed more towards dealing damage and semi-passive healing via Ancient Teachings. On the Monk side, it opts into more utility like CCs in order to prevent damage before it even happens. 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 Ancient Teachings and its supporting talents to take care of the maintenance healing.

Celestial Conduit provides an extra group cooldown to counter moments of high sustained damage, while also providing a bit of DPS as well. Strength of the Black Ox procs happen fairly frequently and allow for great spot healing thanks to it cast time reduction on Enveloping Mist, along with a small group-wide shield.

Master of Harmony provides substantial buffs to our DPS kit in the form of Overwhelming Force, Manifestation, and Harmonic Gambit. This build is ideal for pushing higher keys, as the DPS requirement to time them increases.

This build is largely the same as our Mythic+ build with a caveat. 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 Ancient Teachings 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.
