Mistweaver Monk Healing Spell List and Glossary — Dragonflight 10.0.7

This page contains all the basic spells and abilities that are available to Mistweavers upon reaching level 70, as well as how they fit in to the larger image of the spec as a whole. It also goes over some commonly accepted community acronyms/initialisms.

Mana is your only resource as a Mistweaver Monk. All of your healing abilities cost Mana, so managing it so that you do not run out over the course of each encounter is crucial to being able to heal competitively.

This guide is from the perspective of a max level Mistweaver. For More information on when you will be acquiring the spells listed below, check out our leveling guide.

Ability	Abbreviation	Description
Blackout Kick	BoK	One of your main DPS abilities. Has cooldown the length of two Global Cooldowns. Interacts with a myriad of our kit in order to both reset the cooldown of other spells, as well as deal healing.
Crackling Jade Lightning	CJL	A ranged damage ability. It is very weak in comparison to the rest of our DPS options and should only be used if you cannot be in melee.
Detox	-	Mistweaver's Magic dispel. Should always be augmented by our talent Improved Detox, causing it to also remove Poisons and Diseases.
Expel Harm	EH	An instant cast self heal that also deals damage to a nearby enemy. Can be cast during Soothing Mist and it will also heal that target as well.
Leg Sweep	-	An AoE stun on a 1 minute cooldown. 6-yard range.
Mastery: Gust of Mists	GoM (rare)	Causes all your single target heals, as well as Revival and Restoral to heal for a flat amount depending on your Mastery. This ability can crit.
Mystic Touch	-	Any time you damage an enemy, you apply this debuff that causes them to take 5% more physical damage. Only Monks can apply this debuff.
Provoke	-	Forces a target to attack you for 3 seconds
Reawaken	Res	Resurrects everyone in your party or raid. Can only be used out of combat.
Resuscitate	Res	Resurrects a dead player. Can only be used outside of combat.
Roll	-	Causes you to roll a short distance forward. If you roll off a ledge, the speed of the roll will be maintained until you touch the ground again.
Spinning Crane Kick	SCK	Our AoE damage ability. Channels DPS over the course of 1 GCD, to all enemies within 8 yards. Deals reduced damage past 5 targets.
Tiger Palm	TP	This is our filler DPS spell. It does a very small amount of damage, however due to Teachings of the Monastery, each time you use Tiger Palm, your next Blackout Kick will hit an additional time. This is further augmented by other talents such as Awakened Faeline.
Touch of Death	ToD	Instantly kills your target if your Maximum Health is greater than their current Health. 3-minute cooldown.
Vivify	Viv	This is our filler healing spell. In combination with Invigorating Mists it will heal your main target as well as anyone that has Renewing Mist on them. In order to remain mana efficient, this spell requires a high uptime of Renewing Mists.
Zen Flight	-	Allows you to slowly fly around on a cloud. Is mainly used like a parachute to avoid falling deaths. Only usable in areas where you can use a flying mount.
Zen Pilgrimage	-	Teleports you to either the Peak of Serenity in Pandaria, or to your Legion Order hall, depending on where you are in the story. As long as you do not leave either temple, you can reactivate this ability again to teleport you back. 1-minute cooldown.

Dragonflight has introduced a redesign to the talent tree, with many new passive and active abilities being added, as well as some old abilities making a comeback. The following list will be broken down into passive and active abilities, organized by the rows they appear in from top to bottom.

If you would like to know more about certain talent builds, feel free to check out our builds and talents section of the guide.

Ability	Abbreviation	Description/Effect
Soothing Mist	SooM	Channels a heal on a single target over the course of 8 seconds. It is a small but efficient heal and allows you to cast Vivify, Enveloping Mist and Zen Pulse instantly on that target, without breaking SooM's channel. It also procs our Mastery, but on a 1/8 deck system. To visualize this, imagine you have a deck of 8 cards, 7 of which are blank, and 1 is our Gusts of Mists proc. Every time Soothing Mist draws ticks, it is like drawing a card. Once all 8 cards are drawn, the deck is shuffled and reset. What this means is while it is possible to get two Gust procs back to back, three is impossible. Not that it matters at all to your healing, or changes how you play.
Rising Sun Kick	RSK	This is our largest single target DPS ability. It also can be augmented via through our other talents to both extend all of our HoTs as well as apply Renewing Mist. 12-second cooldown, can be reset by Blackout Kick while using Teachings of the Monastery.
Tiger's Lust	TL	Increases your target's movement speed by 70% for 6 seconds and removes all snares and roots on them. 30-second cooldown, but with a fairly short range.
Disable	-	Slow the target by 50%. Attacks refresh the duration.
Paralysis	Para	Incapacitates a target for 1 minute; any damage will break this effect. This is also a "soft" crowd control, meaning if you walk within aggro range of them, they will still enter into combat with you, meaning they will chase after you once the CC ends.
Enveloping Mist	EnM/EvM	A powerful short duration HoT that also increases the healing done by our other HoTs. Very expensive in terms of Mana, and should be only be used during periods of high single target damage.
Essence Font	EF	This is our large raid heal. Very mana efficient as long as its hitting 6 or more targets. It shoots out 18 bolts which individually do a small amount of healing as well as applying a small HoT to the target. It will prioritize injured players first and can be channeled while moving. Additionally targets with the EF HoT on them will proc your Mastery twice instead of once. 12-second cooldown.
Renewing Mist	ReM	Applies a HoT to a target healing them for a moderate amount over 20 seconds. If it overheals, it will jump to another injured party member within 20 yards. In that same vein, a hidden interaction that it has is that if you cast it on a target that already has ReM, the old instance of the HoT will jump to a new target within 20 yards instead of being refreshed.
Life Cocoon	LC	Puts a massive shield on a target for 12 seconds and increase HoT healing they take by 50% while the shield holds. 2-minute cooldown
Thunder Focus Tea	TFT	Augments our next Enveloping Mist, Renewing Mist, Vivify, Rising Sun Kick or Essence Font. For Enveloping Mist, it causes it to instantly heal for a large amount, for Renewing Mist, it increases its duration by 10s, for Vivify, it removes the mana cost, for RSK, it deduces its cooldown by 9s and for EF it causes it to channel 100% faster. Thunder Focus Tea is a 30-second buff, and the cooldown of the spell does not begin until you consume said buff. 30-second cooldown
Revival	-	Our Raid cooldown. Heals everyone in the group for a moderate amount and also procs our Mastery. Dispels all Magic, Poison, and Disease effects from the group. Additionally, it heals for 100% more in a 5-man group. 3 minute cooldown
Restoral	-	It is exactly the same as Revival, except it does not dispel Magic effects. Useful for when dispelling multiple things at a time will wipe the raid.
Song of Chi-Ji	-	Sends a slow moving cloud out in front of you that disorients any enemies hit for 20 seconds. Any damage taken will break the effect. 30 second cooldown.

Ability	Abbreviation	Description/Effect
Improved Roll	-	Gives your Roll or Chi Torpedo an additional charge.

Mastery of Mist	-	Causes your Renewing Mist to have 2 charges.

Ability	Abbreviation	Description/Effect
Transcendence	Port/Ghost	Leaves a spiritual clone of yourself in a location, that allows you swap positions with it on a 45 second cooldown. The transfer ignores line-of-sight and only requires that you be within 40 yards of the clone. However, you can be roughly 100 yards away from your clone before it despawns. Lasts 15 minutes.
Spear Hand Strike	Kick/SHS	Allows you to interrupt an enemy spell cast, preventing them from casting any spell in that school of magic for 4 seconds. 15-second cooldown.
Fortifying Brew	FB	Increases your maximum Health by 15% and reduces all damage taken by 15% as well. 7-minute cooldown.
Chi Wave	CW	A free spell that will fly to your target, damaging them if they are hostile, or healing them if they are friendly. It will then proceed to bounce back and forth between friend and foe, healing and damaging them respectively. 40-yard range, but the bounce has a 25-yard range. 15-second cooldown.
Chi Burst	CB	Fires a orb in a line that heals all targets it passes through, and damages all enemies as well. Its healing is reduces beyond 6 targets. The orb has a 40-yard range, and is on a 30-second cooldown.
Ring of Peace	RoP	Places a ring on the ground that will bump enemies out of it for 5 seconds. The ring has a maximum number of bumps, so using it against a swarm of enemies will cause the effect to end early. 40-yard range, 10-yard diameter, 45-second cooldown.

Invoke Yu'lon, the Jade Serpent	Yulon	Summons Yu'lon for 25 seconds causing her to randomly heal injured allies with Soothing Breath, hitting 3 targets at a time. Also causes Enveloping Mist to cost 33% mana while Yu'lon is active. The later talent Enveloping Breath causes your Enveloping Mists to splash a powerful HoT onto 5 allies near your target. 3-minute cooldown.
Invoke Chi-Ji, the Red Crane	Chiji	Causes your Blackout Kick, Rising Sun Kick, and Spinning Crane Kick to trigger a Mastery: Gust of Mists proc on two injured allies. They will also grant you a stacking buff that reduces the mana cost and cast time of your next Enveloping Mist by 33% per stack. The later talent Enveloping Breath makes spending those stacks very powerful. 3-minute cooldown.

Chi Torpedo	Torp	Replaces your Roll causing you to travel a much farther distance and also granting you 30% movement speed for 10 seconds, stacking twice. People are often cautious to take this talent due to it requiring much more careful and accurate use, simply due to the distance it causes you to go. One wrong move, and it can send you right off the edge of a boss platform to your death. But otherwise it is an unparalleled movement ability.
Ironshell Brew	-	Increases Armor and Dodge by 25% while Fortifying Brew is active.
Expeditious Fortification	-	Reduces the cooldown of Fortifying Brew by 2 minutes.
Profound Rebuttal	-	Increases the Critical healing of Expel Harm by 50%

Improved Touch of Death	-	Allows you to use Touch of Death on targets below 15% Health, dealing 35% of your maximum Health as damage. You can still wait for the target to be below your maximum Health in order to hit it for the full amount, but that timing can be pretty tight in a raid scenario.
Strength of Spirit	-	Expel Harm's healing is increased by up to 100% depending on your missing Health.
Spirit of the Crane	SotC	Causes each of your additional Blackout Kicks from Teachings of the Monastery to restore 0.45% of your Mana.
Mists of Life	MoL	Causes your Life Cocoon to also apply Renewing Mist and Enveloping Mist to your target as well.

Nourishing Chi	-	Increases Life Cocoon's HoT healing buff by an additional 20%, and causes that effect to remain for 10 seconds after Life Cocoon is removed.
Overflowing Mists	OM	Allies with your Enveloping Mist on them will be healed for 1% of their maximum Health whenever they take damage. This seems very strong for tanks being hit by many mobs, or on targets taking rapid DoT damage, but this effect has a 1-second internal cooldown, making it fairly weak.
Echoing Reverberation	-	Causes your Zen Pulse to trigger a second time for 80% effectiveness if the target has both Renewing Mist and Enveloping Mist on them.
Accumulating Mist	-	Causes your Soothing Mist to increase Zen Pulse's healing by 25% each time SooM ticks, up to 6 times. The effect resets once the Channel of SooM ends.

Calming Coalescence	-	Each time Soothing Mist heals, it will increase the absorb of your next Life Cocoon by 3%, stacking up to 50 times (you should almost never channel SooM that much).
Burst of Life	-	Reduces the cooldown of Life Cocoon by 20 seconds as well as its strength by 40%. When Life Cocoon is consumed or fades, it will heal 3 nearby players.
Yu'lon's Whisper	YW	Each time you use Thunder Focus Tea, you will spew a cone of healing 15 yards in front of you, healing up to 6 allies for a moderate amount over 2 seconds.

Celestial Harmony	EnB/EvB (used to be called Enveloping Breath)	Causes your Enveloping Mist to apply a copy of itself at ~60% effectiveness on 6 allies within 10 yards. Additionally, it also places a Life Cocoon on 5 friendly targets for 10% of their Health. This talent is mandatory.
Dancing Mists	-	Gives Renewing Mist a 5%/10% chance to instantly spread to an additional target when it jumps. This counts for both when it over heals and finds a new target, as well as for when you initially cast the spell.
Lifecycles	-	Causes your Enveloping Mist to reduce the Mana cost of your next Vivify by 25%, and your Vivify to reduce the cost of your next Enveloping Mist by 25%. This is basically always worse than Mana Tea, as it locks you into a bizarre cast pattern in order to get any value at all.

Ability	Abbreviation	Description/Effect
Summon Jade Serpent Statue	JSS	Lets you summon a statue in a location that will channel an additional Soothing Mist at your target whenever you do. This talent is tremendously bad because you never want to be using Soothing Mist. Avoid unless you are doing literally nothing but healing 1 target.
Summon White Tiger Statue	WTS	Summons a statue that pulses small AoE damage to all enemies around it. 2 minute cooldown. Worth taking in situations where you can hit a lot of mobs since our capstone talents leave a lot to be desired.

Faeline Stomp	FS	Stomps the ground in front of you in a cone, dealing damage to up to 5 enemies and healing up to 5 allies, while also healing them with an Essence Font bolt. It has a 30-second cooldown, and all your abilities have a 6% chance to reset that cooldown, so long as you are standing in the Faeline.

Escape from Reality	EfR	Allows you to use Transcendence: Transfer again within 10 seconds of the initial port. During that 10 seconds, all Vivifys cast on yourself deal 25%/50% more healing, and cost 50% less Mana. This also works if you are hit with a cleave from Renewing Mist. You do not have to be the primary target to get the mana refund.
Windwalking	-	Gives you and your allies 2%/4% movement speed for allies within 10 yard. Allies will keep the effect for 10 seconds after leaving range of you.
Fatal Touch	-	Reduces the cooldown of Touch of Death by 45 seconds. Incredibly niche in raid, will likely see more play in Mythic+.

Clouded Focus	CF	It buffs your Enveloping Mist and Vivify by 15% and reduces their mana cost by 15% for each time you cast those abilities during Soothing Mist, stacking up to 3 times. This bonus is lost when you stop channeling Soothing Mist.
