Mistweaver Monk Healing Guide — The War Within (11.0.5)
Welcome to our Mistweaver Monk guide for World of Warcraft — The War Within (11.0.5). Here, you will learn how to heal as a Mistweaver Monk in both raids and Mythic+ dungeons. We cover everything from the basics all the way to min-maxing techniques to optimize your output.
Mistweaver Monk Overview
The Mistweaver specialization is versatile, and different talent choices can allow it to fit the requirements of a raid very well. Mistweavers can, therefore, heal both tanks and the raid very well.
Based on talent choices, Mistweavers can be either unparalleled tank healers with strong area of effect throughput or damage-dealing mobile raid healers.

- Able to cast a large amount of healing spells while moving.
- Strong crowd control options by way of Paralysis, Leg Sweep, and Ring of Peace.
- Able to apply the 5% Physical damage debuff, Mystic Touch to enemies.
- Mana management can be difficult for newer players to pick up.
- Historically bad scaling as an expansion progresses.
- Does not offer a damage reduction cooldown to the raid.
Mistweaver Monk and Guide Changes for Patch 11.0.5
Changes to Mistweaver Monk in 11.0.5
Patch 11.0.5 to Mistweaver Monk
Monk Class Changes
The majority of our changes came in the form of adjustments to the Mistweaver talent tree, with some effects being baked into other talents while others were baked into our default kit. We also got a new new talents to take the spots of ones that were removed.
- Talent Removal: Ancient Teachings — Ancient Teachings is being removed as a talent, and instead is being made a baseline passive, albeit at a lower effectiveness of 30% rather than 170%, as well as causing Crackling Jade Lightning to transfer healing as well.
- New Talent: Jadefire Teachings — After casting Jadefire Stomp or Thunder Focus Tea, Ancient Teachings transfers an additional 140% damage to healing for 15 seconds.
- New Talent: Jade Empowerment — Casting Thunder Focus Tea causes your next Crackling Jade Lightning to deal 800% more damage and hit 5 targets.
- New Talent: Rushing Wind Kick — Replaces Rising Sun Kick with a cleave that splits damage amongst all enemies within a 25 yard cone. Damage is increased per enemy hit by 5%, up to 30%. Using this ability will also increase the healing of your Renewing Mist by 50% for 4 seconds.
- New Talent: Refreshment — Casting Life Cocoon will now grant you 5 stacks of Mana Tea, as well as applying 2 stacks of Healing Elixir to your target.
- Calming Coalescence has been redesigned — Increases the absorb amount of Life Cocoon by 80%.
- Blackout Kick's damage was increased by 25%.
- Awakened Jadefire now additionally causes Blackout Kick to strike 2 additional targets at 70% effectiveness (basically just baking Ancient Concordance's effects into this talent).
- Crackling Jade Lightning now channels 25% faster.
- Dance of Chi-Ji's chance to trigger has been increased by 100% and has moved talent locations to become a choice node with Jade Empowerment.
- New Passive: Dome of Mist — previously a PvP talent, this passive causes Enveloping Mist to transform into a shield when it is dispelled, absorbing 80% of the remaining HoT's value.
- Enveloping Mist can now be dispelled.
- The following talents have been removed:
- Ancient Concordance
- Nourishing Chi
Leveling a Mistweaver Monk in The War Within
If you are interested in playing a Mistweaver, but are not yet at max level, consider taking a look at our leveling guide!
Before you start leveling, you should consider setting up your addons to allow yourself some time to become familiar with them. It can be sort of overwhelming to try and set everything up all at once after reaching max level and once you have already built up some muscle memory. Feel free to browse our recommended add-ons page, which is linked below.
Basics of Mistweaver Monk Gameplay
Like all healers, a Mistweaver needs to have a solid understanding of their spells so that they know which one to use in any given context. Unlike DPS, who can follow a rotation or priority queue, Healers are much more contextual.
Your aim needs to be maximizing efficient casts to squeeze the most healing out of your Mana bar. A high uptime and coverage of Renewing Mist is ideal is almost every situation for a Mistweaver as it is the driver for an enormous swath of our healing via Vivify, Invigorating Mists, Zen Pulse, and the myriad of other supporting talents. You should be looking to use your cooldowns such as Invoke Yu'lon, the Jade Serpent, Invoke Chi-Ji, the Red Crane and Revival as frequently as the fight allows, as these large cooldowns generally result in the strongest throughput (and by proxy mana efficiency) that our kit has to offer. Lastly, to keep up with your mana consumption, you should be mindful to use Mana Tea enough as to not overcap your stacks, as well as timing it before large healing events so that you can make the most of the mana cost reduction that it provides.
If you are a beginner and would like to familiarize yourself with the spec, you should check out the Spell Summary and Easy Mode pages are linked below.
However, if you are familiar with Mistweaver Monks or just need to get a quick build in a hurry, then feel free to head straight to our Talents and Rotation pages.
How to Gear Up a Mistweaver Monk
Gearing can seem a little daunting at first, but there are certain stats that provide more benefit to Mistweaver than others. However, once you get an idea of the value of these stats, then you can begin to intuit which pieces are likely better than others. You can find out how our stats affect our characters, as well as a list of Best in Slot gear from the current raid tier, in the links below.
In that same vein, you will need to enchant your gear, as well as select consumables such as food and phials. For simple stat buffs, it can be pretty easy to just follow your stat priority, but for more complicated effects like weapon enchants, be sure to check out our Enchants and Gems pages.
Mistweaver Monks in the End-Game
Once you have reached the end game, your goals will shift significantly. Below are some handy guides centered around the late-game avenues of progression that WoW has to offer, from raiding to dungeons to PvP.
Mistweaver Monk DPS
While it might seem as though the goal of a healer is to keep people alive through healing, your goal is actually no different than any other role: to kill bosses and clear content. Most of the time, that means you will be healing; however, when there is little to no healing required, then you ought to be spending your time dealing damage. Being able to consistently deal high damage while also keeping the raid healthy is the mark of a great healer.
