Mistweaver Monks in the Current Meta
Mistweaver Monks in PvP are fun, challenging, and rewarding to play. The style of a Mistweaver is fast-paced with unique offensive abilities. This play style is unlike any other healer in the game. Sometimes you are forced to get in melee range to deal damage in order to heal teammates.
