Tips for Ulgrax the Devourer for Mistweaver Monk
Note that it is early days and that this section will be far more fleshed out as the Season progresses and cool tricks and tips are found.
Defensive Tips
- In phase 1,
Fortifying Brew is great if you are assigned to soak during
Carnivorous Contest. - The rot damage in phase 2 is fairly predictable, so you can maximize value from
Strength of Spirit by using 
Expel Harm later than you might otherwise feel
comfortable.
Cooldown Usage
Celestial Conduit is great to use during Carnivorous Contest
as it can be used while moving, and its healing comes in waves.
Mechanical Tips
- If assigned to soak Carnivorous Contest have your
Transcendence
placed far from the boss to give you more options in dodging the pull. Conversely,
you can set it up in melee range and use it to get back to the boss quickly instead.

to try and counter as many of these damage events as you can.
Mechanical Tips
- Be on the lookout to

reduce the size of the DoT left on them.

General Defensive Usage Notes
Mistweaver Monk is a fairly naturally tanky healer, thanks to
our myriad of defensive talents like 
Martial Instincts and 
Bounce Back.
For active defense, while we have quite a few options, your bread-and-butter choice
is going to be 
Fortifying Brew. Using 
Expel Harm with 
Thunder Focus Tea
grants us a moderately sized shield on a fairly low cooldown, at the cost of being able to
spend the charge of Tea on 
Renewing Mist, so be on the lookout to make use of this
when you can also gain value from the heal as well (damage events that happen in waves
are perfect for this).
Most of the time, we will be taking 
Yu'lon's Grace for the overall damage reduction
across the entire fight, but for encounters that require discrete magic mitigation,
Diffuse Magic is another powerful option in our toolkit.
- Fortifying Brew
- Yu'lon's Grace
Thunder Focus Tea + Expel Harm- Life Cocoon
General Cooldown Usage
Mistweaver Monk has a few cooldowns to think about using optimally on the fights in Nerub-ar Palace:
- Invoke Yu'lon, the Jade Serpent — Our main cooldown. With proper play, it should
be available every 2 minutes.
- Revival/
Restoral — A simple cooldown that heals everyone in the
raid instantly when you press it. By default, Revival also dispels magic, poison, and disease
from its targets - on fights in which dispelling at the wrong time could cause a wipe,
you can talent into Restoral instead. It functions identically to Revival, except it can be used
while stunned, and does not dispel magic anymore. - Celestial Conduit — The Conduit of the Celestials Hero Talent cooldown.
At a short 90-second cooldown, this ability should be used as frequently as possible.
