Last updated on Aug 13, 2025 at 10:13 by Mysticall 17 comments

Choosing your gear carefully is important for your Mistweaver Monk in PvP. We give you a stat priority to help you choose items with the right stats, followed by advice on how to choose the rest of your gear and your trinkets.

This page is part of our Mistweaver Monk PvP Guide.

1.

Stat Priority for Mistweaver Monks in PvP

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 Icon Enveloping Mist/Renewing Mist Icon Renewing Mist). This will help keep your team alive when you get stuck in crowd control.

Mistweaver Monk Gear in PvP

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: Half-Mask of Fallen Storms Icon Half-Mask of Fallen Storms
  • Neck: Algari Competitor's Amulet Icon Algari Competitor's Amulet - Crafted with Haste & Versatility
  • Shoulders: Glyphs of Fallen Storms Icon Glyphs of Fallen Storms
  • Cloak: Reshii Wraps Icon Reshii Wraps - With Haste
  • Chest: Gi of Fallen Storms Icon Gi of Fallen Storms
  • Wrists: Astral Gladiator's Leather Wristwraps Icon Astral Gladiator's Leather Wristwraps
  • Hands: Algari Competitor's Leather Gloves Icon Algari Competitor's Leather Gloves - Crafted with Haste & Versatility
  • Waist: Astral Gladiator's Leather Strap Icon Astral Gladiator's Leather Strap
  • Legs: Legwraps of Fallen Storms Icon Legwraps of Fallen Storms
  • Feet: Astral Gladiator's Leather Treads Icon Astral Gladiator's Leather Treads
  • Ring 1: Algari Competitor's Signet Icon Algari Competitor's Signet - Crafted with Haste & Versatility
  • Ring 2: Algari Competitor's Signet Icon Algari Competitor's Signet - Crafted with Haste & Versatility
  • Trinket 1: Astral Gladiator's Medallion Icon Astral Gladiator's Medallion
  • Trinket 2: Astral Gladiator's Insignia of Alacrity Icon Astral Gladiator's Insignia of Alacrity
  • 2H Staff: Astral Gladiator's Staff Icon Astral Gladiator's Staff

Mistweaver Monk Tier Set

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:

3.1.

Master of Harmony Tier Set

  • 2-set: Gaining vitality has an increasing chance to cause your next Tiger Palm Icon Tiger Palm to unleash a Harmonic Surge Icon Harmonic Surge, dealing Nature damage split between your target and other nearby enemies, and healing to up to 5 injured allies
  • 4-set: Casting Thunder Focus Tea Icon Thunder Focus Tea guarantees that your next 2 cast of Tiger Palm Icon Tiger Palm will trigger a Harmonic Surge Icon Harmonic Surge.

This tier set is recommended to use when Fistweaving, as it relies on you doing damage in melee range. The passive healing is great for the damage playstyle monks have.

3.2.

Conduit of the Celestials Tier Set

  • 2-set: Heart of the Jade Serpent Icon Heart of the Jade Serpent additionally triggers for 8 sec at 75% effectiveness after you cast Thunder Focus Tea Icon Thunder Focus Tea.
  • 4-set: Heart of the Jade Serpent Icon Heart of the Jade Serpent increases your haste by 8% while active and for 4 sec afterwards.

This tier set is recommended to use when playing the Crackle build and only requires the 2-set. The 4-set is not impactful enough to use it for this build.

3.3.

Mistweaver Monk Embellishments

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

  • Energy Redistribution Beacon Icon Energy Redistribution Beacon. While above 80% health, your direct healing will redistribute up to 2% of your health to your target. This is great for increasing your overall healing output.
  • Duskthread Lining Icon Duskthread Lining. This Embellishment significantly increases your Versatility when you are above 80% health.
3.4.

Gems and Enchants

Here are the best enchants for a Mistweaver Monk:

  • Cloak: Enchant Cloak - Chant of Leeching Fangs Icon Enchant Cloak - Chant of Leeching Fangs
  • Chest: Enchant Chest - Council's Intellect Icon Enchant Chest - Council's Intellect
  • Bracers: Enchant Bracer - Chant of Armored Speed Icon Enchant Bracer - Chant of Armored Speed
  • Legs: Daybreak Spellthread Icon Daybreak Spellthread
  • Boots: Enchant Boots - Scout's March Icon Enchant Boots - Scout's March
  • Rings: Enchant Ring - Cursed Versatility Icon Enchant Ring - Cursed Versatility
  • Weapon: Enchant Weapon - Stonebound Artistry Icon Enchant Weapon - Stonebound Artistry

Versatile Onyx Icon Versatile Onyx is the best gem you can use. You also get access to 1 Meta Gem. You should use Cognitive Bloodstone Icon Cognitive Bloodstone for the meta slot.
