Mistweaver Monk PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets — The War Within (11.0.7)
Choosing your gear carefully is important for your Mistweaver Monk in PvP. We give you a stat priority to help you choose items with the right stats, followed by advice on how to choose the rest of your gear and your trinkets.
This page is part of our Mistweaver Monk PvP Guide.
Stat Priority for Mistweaver Monks in PvP
The stat priority for Mistweaver Monk in PvP is as follows:
- Intellect;
- Versatility;
- Mastery;
- Haste;
- Critical Strike.
Intellect is the best stat in all situations. Versatility is the most important secondary stat as it increases the healing you do and reduces the damage you take. Mastery ( Mastery: Gust of Mists) is also important because it increases your overall healing output.
Gear Recommendations
General Guidelines
In general, Mistweaver Monks want to get trinkets that increase their overall healing output. These trinkets can have a passive or on-use effect. The stat you want to be increasing is Versatility. The reason you want to increase Versatility is because it increases both your damage and healing and reduces the damage you take. For gear, you want anything that has Versatility and Mastery on it. This will increase your overall healing output and your survivability. Here is the best gear we recommend you use as a Mistweaver Monk.
- Head: Algari Competitor's Leather Mask - Crafted with Versatility & Mastery
- Neck: Algari Competitor's Amulet - Crafted with Versatility & Mastery
- Shoulders: Gatecrasher's Enduring Effigy
- Cloak: Forged Warmonger's Cape
- Chest: Algari Competitor's Leather Chestpiece - Crafted with Versatility & Mastery
- Wrists: Forged Warmonger's Wraps
- Hands: Gatecrasher's Protectors
- Waist: Forged Warmonger's Belt
- Legs: Forged Gladiator's Leather Legwraps
- Feet: Forged Warmonger's Boots
- Ring 1: Forged Gladiator's Signet
- Ring 2: Algari Competitor's Signet - Crafted with Versatility & Haste
- Trinket 1: Forged Gladiator's Medallion
- Trinket 2: Forged Gladiator's Insignia of Alacrity
- 2H Staff: Forged Gladiator's Greatstaff
Note: It is essential to be wearing 2 PvP trinkets. This will give you a Stamina and stat boost that will increase your survivability.
Cyrce's Circlet for Mistweaver Monk
Cyrce's Circlet is a new ring introduced in Patch 11.0.7 that you can acquire by completing several activities on Siren Isle. The ring has 3 sockets, which can fit a different kind of gem each. There are four different gems available for each of the three sockets, for a total of 12 gems, so there is quite a bit of choice on what to socket.
Cyrce's Circle ring does not have any secondary stats and in PvP, Cyrce's Circlet Gems are heavily nerfed. It is not recommended to use it.
Mistweaver Monk Tier Set
As noted above, acquiring both your 2-set and 4-set bonus is crucial. It is important to note that ALL tier sets are nerfed by 50% in PvP. Although this nerf is significant, tier sets are still important to acquire to maximize your chances to win. For Mistweaver Monks, this is your tier set:
- 2-set: Renewing Mist applies a buff to the target, increasing their healing taken from you by 50% for 8 seconds. This is a very powerful set bonus that will drastically increase your healing output.
- 4-set: 20% of all healing you do to targets with Chi Harmony is stored and then dispersed evenly among your allies with Renewing Mist when Chi Harmony Fades or is refreshed. This is a decent set bonus that provides more spread healing.
4-set is not required for Mistweaver Monks, but getting 2-set is recommended.
Mistweaver Monk Embelishments
Embelishments are bonuses that can be put on crafted gear. These effects can have a drastic impact on the game. You are only allowed to have 2 Embellishments equipped at the same time. Here are the recommended embellishments for Mistweaver Monk:
- Energy Redistribution Beacon. While above 80% health, your direct healing will redistribute up to 2% of your health to your target. This is great for increasing your overall healing output.
- Duskthread Lining. This Embellishment significantly increases your Versatility when you are above 80% health.
Gems and Enchants
Here are the best enchants for a Mistweaver Monk:
- Cloak: Enchant Cloak - Chant of Leeching Fangs
- Chest: Enchant Chest - Council's Intellect
- Bracers: Enchant Bracer - Chant of Armored Speed
- Legs: Daybreak Spellthread
- Boots: Enchant Boots - Scout's March
- Rings: Enchant Ring - Cursed Versatility
- Weapon: Enchant Weapon - Stonebound Artistry
Versatile Onyx is the best gem you can use. You also get access to 1 Meta Gem. You should use Cognitive Bloodstone for the meta slot.
