Mistweaver Monk PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets — The War Within (11.1.5)

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

1. Intellect;
2. Versatility;
3. Mastery;
4. Haste;
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. Mastery ( Mastery: Gust of Mists) is also important because it increases your overall healing output.

Note: You can also be successful on Mistweaver Monk if you do the following stat priority:

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

Intellect is still the best stat in all situations and versatility is the most important secondary stat. However, you stack Haste instead of Mastery. This increases how fast your important HoTs tick. Instead of Mastery: Gust of Mists one of your top healing spells it will be Enveloping Mist. Both builds work, the stats just change where your healing comes from.

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 Mastery 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.

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 by 50% 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: Your healing spells have a chance to apply Insurance! to their target that heals them over 15 seconds. Insurance is consumed if an ally drops below 40% health to heal them.
• 4-set: Casting Renewing Mist applies Insurance! for 6 seconds. The healing of Insurance! is increased by up to 50% in proportion to the coverage Renewing Mist has on you and up to 10 allies.

4-set is not required for Mistweaver Monks, but getting 2-set is recommended.

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. 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. This Embellishment significantly increases your Versatility when you are above 80% health.

Here are the best enchants for a Mistweaver Monk:

• Cloak: Enchant Cloak - Chant of Leeching Fangs
• Chest: Enchant Chest - Council's Intellect
• Bracers: Enchant Bracer - Chant of Armored Speed
• Legs: Daybreak Spellthread
• Boots: Enchant Boots - Scout's March
