While the above table 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.
Tier 1 (Level 15) Talents
The best choice in this tier is Mist Wrap.
Enveloping Mist
is crucial to Mistweaver healing, and increasing its healing and duration makes
it even better.
Tier 2 (Level 25) Talents
In this tier, the best choice is Chi Torpedo. This helps with your
survivability and mobility. It also allows you to safely "overextend" in order
to crowd control an enemy and then roll back to safety. However, if you are
playing against a team with a Frost Mage or Survival Hunter,
Tiger's Lust
is the better talent. This will help deal with all the roots and slows these
specs have.
Tier 3 (Level 30) Talents
The best choice in this tier Mana Tea. Mistweaver Monks have no
sources of Mana regeneration and this talent help with Mana issues. This talent
also works well with
Invoke Yu'lon, the Jade Serpent.
Tier 4 (Level 35) Talents
The best choice in this tier is Ring of Peace. This will help with
getting away from melee and acts like a "pillar" to prevent melee from hitting
you. You can also use it as an additional interrupt to prevent incoming crowd
control.
Tier 5 (Level 40) Talents
Healing Elixir is the best talent in this tier. This is an overall
great talent for when a team starts targeting you. However, if you are playing
against a team with multiple Damage of Time effects (DoTs),
Diffuse Magic
is the better option. This is great for dispelling magical effects on you and
should be used if the enemy team tries to swap to you.
Tier 6 (Level 45) Talents
Summon Jade Serpent Statue is the best talent in this tier. The
bonus healing from your statue helps deal with all situations. In general, this
talent also outputs a lot of healing over the course of an arena match.
Tier 7 (Level 50) Talents
Focused Thunder is the best choice in this tier. This gives you more
flexibility when you are using
Thunder Focus Tea. This will help you
maintain
Renewing Mist or give you great burst healing with
Enveloping Mist.
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).
Healing Sphere allows you to place a healing sphere on the ground
after 1.5 seconds. If allies walk through it, they consume the sphere, healing
them and dispelling all harmful periodic magic effects. Only 3 spheres can be
active at the same time. This should be used against teams with multiple DoT
spells.
