Mistweaver Monk PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets — Midnight (12.0.1)

The stat priority for Mistweaver Monk in PvP is as follows:

1. Intellect
2. Haste
3. Versatility
4. Mastery
5. Critical Strike

Intellect is the best stat in all situations. Versatility is the most important secondary stat as it increases the healing you do and reduces the damage you take. Haste is the next important secondary stat, as this increases the tick rate of your important HoTs ( Enveloping Mist/ Renewing Mist). This will help keep your team alive when you get stuck in crowd control.

In general, Mistweaver Monks want to get trinkets that increase their overall healing output. These trinkets can have a passive or on-use effect. The stat you want to be increasing is Versatility. The reason you want to increase Versatility is because it increases both your damage and healing and reduces the damage you take. For gear, you want anything that has Versatility and Haste on it. This will increase your overall healing output and your survivability. Here is the best gear we recommend you use as a Mistweaver Monk.

• Head: Fearsome Visage of Ra-den's Chosen
• Neck: Thalassian Competitor's Amulet - Crafted with Versatility & Haste
• Shoulders: Aurastones of Ra-den's Chosen

As noted above, acquiring both your 2-set and 4-set bonus is crucial. It is important to note that ALL tier sets are nerfed to 33% effectiveness in PvP. Although this nerf is significant, tier sets are still important to acquire to maximize your chances to win. For Mistweaver Monks, this is your tier set:

• 2-set: Renewing Mist healing increased by 20%.
• 4-set: Casting Thunder Focus Tea applies Renewing Mist onto a nearby ally.

Embellishments are bonuses that can be put on crafted gear. These affects can have a drastic impact on the game. You are only allowed to have 2 Embellishments equipped at the same time. Here are the recommended Embellishments for Mistweaver Monk:

• Blessed Pango Charm gives your healing spells a chance to grant Versatility to your target. This is great for increasing the survivability of your team. Craft this on both rings or a ring and a neck.
