While the above calculator provides a generally accurate overview of the viability of talents, some finer points are discussed in the sections that follow, and we recommend you read those for a deeper understanding.

• Spear Hand Strike. This is a melee-ranged kick that will be useful in almost every matchup. Use this to interrupt incoming crowd control.
• Escape from Reality. Originally a legendary in Shadowlands, this talent allows you to port a second time within 10 seconds of using Transcendence: Transfer. This is crucial versus melee cleaves that target you.
• Lighter Than Air is a great talent to use when targets are trying to run away from you when trying to Leg Sweep.
• Song of Chi-Ji. This gives Mistweavers a third way to crowd-control someone. You will now be able to use Paralysis, Leg Sweep, and Song of Chi-ji to crowd control an enemy healer.

• Mist Wrap. Enveloping Mist is crucial to Mistweaver healing, and increasing its healing and duration makes it even better.
• Focused Thunder. This gives you more flexibility when you are using Thunder Focus Tea and works well with the Clouded Focus talent.
• Overflowing Mists. Another talent that increases the healing of your Enveloping Mist. This is a great talent versus teams with no purges.
• Chi Harmony is a crucial talent to take for both Mistweaver and Fistweaver. This makes it so your Renewing Mist makes the target receive additional healing for 8 seconds after used. This is a mandatory talent to keep your teammates alive.
• Jadefire Teachings/ Rushing Wind Kick is a very important choice node. Rushing Wind Kick, in combination with Crane Style, gives Mistweavers a much more aggressive playstyle. Weave this into your rotation to heal from your damaging spells. Jadefire Teachings will be used in combination with Jade Empowerment to deal damage/healing from range.

You can choose 3 of the following PvP talents. Each of them has their uses, but some are better for certain strategies than others. The top three choices are the most useful, but can be replaced with other PvP talents, depending on your team's goal.

Peaceweaver reduces the cooldown of Revival and makes you immune to magical effects for a short period afterward. This is an amazing PvP talent to use versus teams with magic damage and in Rated Battlegrounds.

Zen Spheres places a sphere of Hope or Despair over the target. This is a great talent to increase the overall damage output of your team and increase the healing you do to your target. Only one can be active at the same time:

• Sphere of Hope increases your healing done to the target by 15%.
• Sphere of Despair makes the target deal 3% less damage, and takes 10% increased damage from all sources.

Zen Focus Tea helps Mistweavers deal with one of their greatest weaknesses, being interrupted. Because most healing spells Mistweaver have are used while channeling Soothing Mist, being interrupted is very common. Use Zen Focus Tea versus teams with multiple interrupts, especially verses classes with long interrupts (Mages, Warlocks, Rogues).

Grapple Weapon disarms the enemy for 6 seconds. This can be crucial utility against teams with a melee DPS on it. This is also a great option when playing against Death Knights. When you Disarm them, they will not be able to heal and can result in you killing them.

Eminence allows you to use Transcendence: Transfer while stunned. This talent can be useful versus teams with mobile melee specs on them (Demon Hunter, Windwalker, Feral Druid) or against teams that rely on setup to get kills (Jungle and RMP).

Mistweaver is unique, as it has two different playstyles in one specialization. 'Fistweaver' is a much more aggressive playstyle, using the Ancient Teachings talent to convert physical damage to healing. Here are the best PvP talents if you plan on playing this way:
