Mistweaver Monk in The War Within Mythic+
Mistweaver Monk is an extremely mobile and durable healer that brings
a deep pool of cooldowns tailored to 5-player content. Outside of throughput Mistweaver
also brings a variety of utility abilities that allow for creative routing options, such as combining Paralysis and
Ring of Peace to skip certain trash packs.

Mythic+ Utility for Mistweaver Monk in The War Within Season 2
This section talks mostly about the uses of different spells. For in-depth explanations of all Monk Abilities and Talents, including these, check out our Spells page.
Utility of Mistweaver Monk in The War Within
Interrupts, Stuns and Stops
Spear Hand Strike is your "kick" and your most important bit of utility in
Mythic+, used to stop enemy casts for the benefit of the group and especially
the tank. It is highly recommended to use a Focus Kick macro for this.
- /stopcasting
- /stopcasting
- /cast [@focus,exists,nodead][@mouseover,exists,nodead] [] Spear Hand Strike
This macro will kick your focus target if you have one, mouseover if you have no Focus target, and your target if you have neither of those.
To quickly set a focus target in hectic scenarios, we also recommend a Focus Mouseover macro.
- /focus [@mouseover]
Make sure that your UI shows your Focus Target's casts clearly so that you are always able to kick it on cooldown or in coordination with the rest of your group.
Stunning and "Stops"
It should be noted that for many abilities that mobs will cast, "stopping" a spell is just a stopgap to buy time.
If an enemy has a "kickable" cast that is stopped by anything other than an interrupt spell such as Spear Hand Strike,
they will simply try to cast the same spell again.
Leg Sweep is one of your "AoE stops". It stuns all enemies within 6 yards for 3 seconds. Perfect for preventing
multiple abilities from going off at once if your group is low on kicks or for saving your tank, allowing them to create some distance.
Ring of Peace is your second "AoE stop" and will be used the same way as Leg Sweep most of the time.
However, rather than being a stun, Ring of Peace creates a zone on the ground that knocks any enemies out of it
and will continue to knock enemies out that try to enter. This can be used to stop a large group of mobs from casting or placed on your tank
to give them a window of safety. You can also use this ability to prevent a fixated mob from reaching their target.
Because Ring of Peace is a persistent area knock-back, in certain circumstances, you can lock enemy mobs down for longer than intended - if two Monks are in the same group, they can create a Venn diagram with their Rings in order to bounce mobs back forth between the two until one of them fades. In that same vein, if mobs are near a wall, with careful positioning, you can cause your ring to infinitely knock them against the wall. Finally, Ring of Peace also does not trigger combat with a mob, meaning it can be used to move a group of mobs out of your way so that your group can sneak by undetected.
Paralysis is an incredibly versatile spell, allowing you to instantly crowd control a single target from 20 yards away while also
not engaging in combat with them. That means if a patrol is pathing towards your group, you can Paralyze the lead mob, and usually, the adds
following them will stop and wait as well. You can also pair this with Ring of Peace in order to bounce Paralyzed mobs a bit further than
they'd normally go while also preventing them from trying to run back to where they were.
When used in combat, it can be a simple ranged single-target stop, or if talented into Pressure Points, it can be used to remove
enrage effects from the target as well.
Other Utility
Crashing Momentum can be used to slow a large group of packs if you find that your tank has run out of
cooldowns and needs to run away from a particularly scary pull.
Transcendence is easily one of our most powerful spells, allowing us to teleport
through moving barrier mechanics, quickly reposition, or, if your reactions are fast enough,
negate knock-back abilities that would otherwise knock you off a ledge.

Affix Tips, Tricks and Management for Mistweaver Monk in The War Within Season 2
This section has Monk-specific tips for dealing with the various affixes of Mythic+. If you want general guides for each of our Dungeons or Mythic+ in general, check out our dedicated page below.
Affix Guide for Mistweaver Monk in The War Within
Ascendant Affix Management for Mistweaver Monk
Our myriad of crowd control is excellent for this Affix. Between Ring of Peace,
Leg Sweep,
Spear Hand Strike, and
Paralysis, we have got more
then enough tools to assist the group.
Pulsar Affix Management for Mistweaver Monk
This affix is fairly straightforward for Mistweavers since we are in melee, our orbs
will be easily soaked by nearby melee. Depending on your group, you may need to Roll out to tag a ranged player
instead.
Devour Affix Management for Mistweaver Monk
Revival can clear this in a pinch; otherwise, use
Detox on priority targets
and just heal the rest of it off normally.
Diffuse Magic can be used to remove it from
yourself if you think you aren't going to need the damage reduction soon.
Voidbound Affix Management for Mistweaver Monk
Touch of Death can be used the moment these mobs spawn, as they have 1hp, but a
large shield. If talented into
Fatal Touch, you can use Touch of Death on every other
spawn.
Mythic+ Gear for Mistweaver Monk
On our Gear Page below, we have compiled BiS items for Mistweaver Monk that also apply to Mythic+.
