Additional Resources for Mistweaver Monk — The War Within (11.2.7)

Welcome to our additional resources page for Mistweaver Monk. Here you will find links to recommended third-party tools, guides that can help you reach the next level in your gameplay by teaching you how to sim yourself or analyze your own logs, as well as other information that can help you improve both your character and performance.

Due to the nature of healing in general, it is effectively impossible to sim healers. Unlike DPS, whose goal is to simply deal as much damage to the boss as possible, healers instead aim to keep players alive. This means sometimes playing in sub-optimal ways in order to save a life. Equally, healing is a zero-sum game, in that if one person does exceptional HPS, the HPS of their co-healers will suffer as a result. These compounding factors, along with the randomness injected into the system by players interacting with their characters, makes simulating healers next to impossible.

Rather than using prescriptive tools like simulations, healers must instead depend on descriptive methods of post-fight analysis, such as QELive (by Voulk) and WoWAnalyzer (maintained by Vohrr and Trevor).

These tools are excellent for not only improving your minute to minute gameplay, but also determining how to optimally gear your character. If you would like to know how certain stats benefit your character, then checkout our Stats Guide.

In order to help you further elevate your performance and improve your ability to self-analyze your gameplay, we are preparing a set of guides that teach you how to look at your own logs, find rotational issues, check for uptimes on buffs and debuffs, and much more. Please make sure to check back at a later time once these have been completed.

The Mage Tower offers a unique solo challenge for every specialization to test themselves against, granting a unique transmog set and potential mount for those that succeed. If you are looking for guidance on the trial awaiting Mistweaver Monks, see our dedicated guide to it below.
