Midnight PvP Talent Builds for Mistweaver Monk in Arena

Crackle Mistweaver Monk Hybrid Mistweaver Monk BG Blitz Mistweaver Monk
2.1.

Crackle Mistweaver Monk

Crackle build for Mistweaver Monk primarily focuses on playing max distance away from the enemy team and using Crackling Jade Lightning Icon Crackling Jade Lightning to heal your teammates.

2.2.

Hybrid Mistweaver Monk

Hybrid Mistweaver Monk relies on being close to the fight and utilizing Rushing Wind Kick Icon Rushing Wind Kick to deal damage to enemies in order to heal. This is a much more aggressive playstyle, but teh damage can overwhelm teams and force cooldowns quickly.

2.3.

BG Blitz Mistweaver Monk

BG Blitz talents are unique because you do not play either Rushing Wind Kick Icon Rushing Wind Kick or Crackling Jade Lightning Icon Crackling Jade Lightning. Instead, you focus on maintaining your HoTs (Renewing Mist Icon Renewing Mist/Enveloping Mist Icon Enveloping Mist) on as many teammates as possible and using Vivify Icon Vivify/Sheilun's Gift Icon Sheilun's Gift to spot heal anyone being targetted.

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.

3.1.

Mandatory PvP Talents

Peaceweaver Icon Peaceweaver reduces the cooldown of Revival Icon 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 Icon 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 Icon Sphere of Hope increases your healing done to the target by 10%. This is given to whoever you Soothing Mist Icon Soothing Mist.
  • Sphere of Despair Icon Sphere of Despair makes the target deal 3% less damage, and takes 10% increased damage from all sources. This is given to whichever enemy you Crackling Jade Lightning Icon Crackling Jade Lightning.
3.2.

Situational PvP Talents

Zen Focus Tea Icon 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 Icon Soothing Mist, being interrupted is very common. Use Zen Focus Tea Icon Zen Focus Tea versus teams with multiple interrupts, especially verses classes with long interrupts (Mages, Warlocks, Rogues).

Eminence Icon Eminence allows you to use Transcendence: Transfer Icon 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).

PvP Talents for Hybrid Monks

Mistweaver is unique, as it has two different playstyles in one specialization. 'Hybrid' is a much more aggressive playstyle, using the Rushing Wind Kick Icon Rushing Wind Kick talent to deal large amounts of damage that will convert to healing. Here are the best PvP talents if you plan on playing this way:
