Talents Summary
Monk Tree Talent Highlights
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.
Mistweaver Monk Tree Talent Highlights
Mist Wrap.
Enveloping Mist is crucial to Mistweaver healing, and increasing its healing and duration makes it even better.
Song of Chi-Ji. This gives Mistweavers a third way to crowd control someone. You will now be able to use
Paralysis,
Leg Sweep,
Ring of Peace, and Song of Chi-ji to crowd control an enemy healer.
Overflowing Mists. Another talent that increases the healing of your
Enveloping Mist. This is a great talent versus teams with no purges.
Focused Thunder. This gives you more flexibility when you are using
Thunder Focus Tea and works well with the
Clouded Focus talent.
PvP Talents for Mistweaver Monks
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.
Mandatory PvP Talents
Chrysalis reduces the cooldown of
Life Cocoon.
This is an overall great talent so you can use Life Cocoon more often
throughout an arena match.
Situational PvP Talents
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).
Peaceweaver reduces the cooldown of
Revival and makes you
immune to magical effects for a short period afterwards. This is an amazing
PvP talent to use versus teams with magic damage and in Rated Battlegrounds.
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).
