Yea crit gives you more mana tea and you SHOULD NOT glyph mana tea.

is it possible for me to go into proving grounds in my boosted set and achieve basic healer (gold)?

 

Edit: Yup

 

 

 

Thanks guys getting rid of the mana tea glyph made a big difference.

From what I can tell its basically pointless for me to cast Soothing Mist unless one of these conditions are met right?

 

A.  I need to heal someone specific that isnt the lowest hp target

B.  I need to do some heavier heals like Enveloping Mist or Surging Mist

 

Is that correct? because it seems like doing damage provides more healing than just soothing mist by itself.

[Krazyito 521]

If you spam click (or press) your soothing mists button it gives you more chi than just channeling it. You can do that for some more chi generation.

Should I be able to beat priests on the meters?  because usually priest provide far superior healing, sometimes i lose to druids as well.

[Krazyito 521]

Disc is overpowered.  But really it depends on content and gear disparity.  Don't worry about meters too much unless you're wiping to mechanics because of healing and you have similar gear levels.

 

It's my honest opinion that mistweaver is underpowered at the moment compared to other classes, but if you want me to examine what you're doing please provide logs and make a new topic in the mistweaver section.

Hi guys, great guide and these have really helped me.

 

I'm fairly new to MW and just had a question about something on the guide. It says to only use Tiger's Palm if you have Muscle Memory active, but then it says you can use Tiger's Palm to dump Chi.

 

Now lets say I'm in a situation where there's low to no damage, and i have max Chi. Should I just dump my Chi with TP? Since I'm already at max Chi, I'm not going to Jab, thus not proccing Muscle Memory. So all of those Jabs will be without MM, which the guide stated I should never do. If I DO jab, I'll get MM, but I won't be dumping Chi.

 

So I was just confused as that part of the guide seemed to contradict itself without further explanation.

 

Thanks!

[Krazyito 521]

I think it is a bit misleading.

It should be that you NEVER jab when MM is active.

Dumping chi into TP is fine, but you get more effect with MM up.

My suggestion is if you're max, you can go down 1 chi without MM, thus allowing you to jab->TP repeatedly.

What you will end up doing is hovering around 2 - 3 chi so that you don't cap from using RM and EH on CD, which means you will weave in BoK pretty often.

you have power strikes and ascension confused. you need to swap them. this info has been out for months and this being wrong can confuse new monks.

I seem to be going oom way to fast this time around, I'm using the suggested rotations and its gone by the time trash is done. am I doing something wrong?

Best way to see if this is the case is to create an account (here and at warcraft logs), make sure advance combat logging is turned on, log the raid (/combatlog when you enter), and then create a post in the monk section asking for a review.

Just some general pointers off the top of my head:

•Get at least 30% buffed crit

•Use mana tea during periods of low damage

•Do NOT use mana tea glyph

•Keep renewing mist up in as many targets as possible

•Use your statue

•Use LMG procs for either mana regen (Jab > TP > jab > TP) or free healing
