Mistweaver Monk Healing Gear and Best in Slot — Midnight (12.0.1)
On this page, you will find the best gear and best in slot items for your Mistweaver Monk in World of Warcraft Midnight (12.0.1).
BiS Gear Guide for Mistweaver Monks
Because of the diverse nature of gear and the variability of item level due to things like the weekly cache, a true "best in slot" list is slippery. You should always be equipping items that will benefit you based on your stat weights. To acquire said weights, use WoW Analyzer. More on that can be found below.
Gearing up For Midnight
Upon reaching Level 90 in Midnight, you have 3 main options to start gearing your character: Dungeons and Raids, PvP such as Arena or Battlegrounds, and world systems like Renown with the four main Reputations.
Once you can get invited to Mythic dungeons, be sure to complete each one during your first week, then look to see if you can find groups for your preferred style of play, be that Mythic+ or Rated PvP.
