Mistweaver Monk PvP Guide — Midnight Pre-Patch (12.0.1)

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.

Strengths

• Great mobility
• Strong single-target healing
• Multiple crowd control abilities
• Can out-Mana any other healer

Weaknesses

• Easy to get stuck in crowd control and interrupt
• Very little utility for teammates
• No damage to help with kills
• Some instant healing, but it is not strong

• New added spells: Misty Coalescence, Way of the Serpent, Amplified Rush, Mistline, Path of the Falling Star, Stampede of the Ancients, Yu'lon's Avatar, Flowing Wisdom, Harmonic Surge, Potential Energy, Meditative Focus
• Removed Spells: Expel Harm, Spear Hand Strike, Chi Burst, Invoker's Delight, Shaohao's Lessons, Mending Proliferation, Chi Harmony
• Major Changes:
  • Sheilun's Gift replaces Vivify when talented into it.
  • When talented into it, Jadefire Teachings is always active. This is great for overall healing output since you do not have a short window to do healing.
  • Jade Empowerment is always active, but the damage increase was reduced to 300%.
  • Rushing Wind Kick no longer increases the healing of Renewing Mist.
• PvP Talent Changes:
  • Grapple Weapon has been removed.
  • Mighty Ox Kick replaces Ring of Peace. This will make knocking enemies at places like Lumber Mill much more difficult to do.
  • Zen Spheres are now passive. Sphere of Hope forms on the target you use Soothing Mist on. Sphere of Despair forms on the enemy you use Crackling Jade Lightning on. This is great for freeing up globals, a much needed change.
  • Healing Sphere is now passive. Your healing has a chance to spawn them. This is not ideal because you cannot control when or where they spawn.
