Patch 11.0.2 - The War Within

Mistweaver Monk

Conduit of the Celestials gives you another cooldown Celestial Conduit, which offers very strong healing and damage for a 1.5 min cooldown. It also offers you great talent nodes such as Heart of the Jade Serpent that lowers the cooldown of some of your abilities, after a total of 10 stacks of Sheilun's Gift has been used. Conduit of the Celestials also enhances your other spells and gives you some utility as well.
Master of Harmony focuses more on increasing your DPS output and has chances of being a strong choice if you wanna do high DPS.
But overall Conduit of the Celestials is the stronger choice for Mythic+, so this guide will focus mainly on Conduit of the Celestials as the Hero Talent choice.

Conduit of the Celestials

Master of Harmony

Tier Set

2-Set: Enveloping Mist and Renewing Mist healing increased by 10%.

Priority List

General rotation

Apply Mystic Touch to all enemies by doing any damage to them.
Cast Jadefire Stomp and maintain the buff.
Spin to win with Spinning Crane Kick if there are 4+ enemies and you can heal the damage intake with it.
Cast Renewing Mist so you never reach 3 stacks.

For Damage

Cast Rising Sun Kick on cooldown.
Cast Blackout Kick on cooldown.
Cast Tiger Palm.
Cast Spinning Crane Kick if there are 4 or more enemies.

Cooldowns

Celestial Conduit

This is a very strong healing cooldown that you can channel while moving, use it when you need a lot of healing, especially AoE healing, as it does increased healing based on targets hit. At the time it will also deal good damage to enemies so you can use it mainly for DPS if you don't need the healing at that moment.

Invoke Chi-Ji, the Red Crane

Your main healing cooldown as a Mistweaver Monk summons an effigy of Chi-Ji, that shields allies with Celestial Harmony, and your damage abilities reduce the cost and cast time of Enveloping Mist by 33% (up to 3 stacks) making it 100% free and instant cast. And thanks to playing Conduit of the Celestials you gain 15% damage taken reduction through the talent Jade Sanctuary whenever you summon your Invoke Chi-Ji, the Red Crane.
- Celestial Harmony gives a shield to 5 allies, and also makes your Enveloping Mist apply an extra HoT and 10% heal increase with Enveloping Breath.
- Gift of the Celestials reduces the cooldown by 2 min, making it a 1 min cooldown, but decreases duration to 12 sec.
- Invoke Chi-Ji, the Red Crane kicks upMastery: Gust of Mists, which is your Mastery, whenever you use Rising Sun Kick, Blackout Kick and Spinning Crane Kick, which can be big heals when used well.

Before summoning Invoke Chi-Ji, the Red Crane you should get 4x stacks of Teachings of the Monastery. This makes your next Blackout Kick hit 5 total times for a super strong heal through Ancient Teachings and Gust of Mists.

Sheilun's Gift

Sheilun's Gift is a powerful cooldown due to its super strong heal, you can treat this as a cooldown by itself when it's at 10 stacks, but at lower stacks it can still be powerful, especially on targets with Chi Harmony on them. If used well, this can be a lifesaver for your party in many situations.

Thunder Focus Tea

Use Thunder Focus Tea on Rising Sun Kick for a cooldown reset, or you can also use it on Expel Harm for a heal absorb from Chi Cocoon for survivability. You can also use it on Enveloping Mist for an instant cast spot heal if necessary.

Life Cocoon

A high absorb external, Life Cocoon, can be a lifesaver for both allies and yourself. You can use it before a high-damage event to save some personal cooldowns on your allies, or so you can entirely focus on healing the rest of the group.

Deep Dive

Patch 11.0.2 - The War Within

Mistweaver Monk

Min maxing Tier Set 4pc

Your 4pc incentivizes you to cast Vivify to extend the duration of Renewing Mist and Enveloping Mist by 3.0 sec on the target, you can min-max this by specifically planning out who you are going to deal a lot of healing to. For example, you use a defensive on yourself for the upcoming damage event, and you cast 2 Enveloping Mist on the 2 squishy dps in your group, and then you cast Vivify on those players, for the increased healing taken from Enveloping Mist, as well as the very good HoT it provides. When you also extend the duration with Rising Sun Kick through Rising Mist, you can have almost a 10 sec long Enveloping Mist duration on your targets.

Spin to win or Ancient Teachings for healing?

If there are 7+ enemies, then spin to win with Spinning Crane Kick and Awakened Jadefire for the most healing.
On 4-6 enemies then keep casting Spinning Crane Kick for damage, but only if you can heal through the damage intake.
If there are 1-3 Jadefire Stomp and Ancient Concordance with Ancient Teachings is by far more healing and damage. Even with 4-6 enemies, this is generally better than Spinning Crane Kick for healing, it can depend on how much damage the tank is taking, and the pattern of damage intake.

If you can't do either of the above to sustain enough healing for your group, then you need to start using cooldowns. Activate Sheilun's Gift to top the group when health bars are going low, Invoke Chi-Ji, the Red Crane is a huge boost to your healing especially with Blackout Kick during Jadefire Stomp with the talent Ancient Concordance.

Understanding Mechanics

Rotational min-maxing is just one aspect of mastering a specialization, but there are numerous other key mechanics that influence your performance. Use the following guides to improve them.

Understand your secondary stat priority and the tertiary stats needed for optimal performance during Mythic+ dungeons as a Mistweaver Monk. For more detailed information, visit the Stats and Attributes guide.

Mistweaver Monk Stat Priority in Mythic+

The conclusion here is that you want to equip the highest item level generally.

Blizzard introduced Stat DRs that you need to be aware of. To get to know what those are and why you have to care about them click here to get to our detailed stat DR resource post!

Tertiary

Avoidance - Reduces damage taken from AoE effects.
Leech - Returns a portion of your damage and healing done as healing to you. (Excludes self healing)
Speed - increases movement speed. (Does stack with other movement speed abilities)

The only time you should think about picking a lower item level is if it has Leech or Avoidance. Speed is nice to have, but you should generally ignore that stat.

Here is a showcase of how powerful Leech is for a Healer:

Farmable Alternatives

Due to the way stat weights work for Mistweaver Monks, there isn't a strict best-in-slot list.

This list shows the best items for healing in Raids from all sources. Keep in mind that getting different tier pieces with Leech / Avoidance changes which off-piece is best for you. Likewise, any other non-trinket item with Leech / Avoidance replaces the one suggested here.

Below you are presented with a good list of farmable alternatives that are obtainable outside of WoW’s weekly lockout system. While replaced in time as you progress, these offer immediate character power.

Trinkets

Below you can find active and passive alternatives to our recommended trinkets. Do note that some trinkets are better than others depending on the dungeon.

Active Trinket alternatives

Viscous Coaglam
- Transforms overhealing into a shield that is capped at a very small amount.
Creeping Coagulum
- Redirect healing into the trinket up to a certain cap, to then bursts healing onto 5 allies.

Passive Trinket alternatives

Gruesome Syringe
- Either provides you with a big intellect buff or a strong HoT to targets below 70% HP.
Empowering Crystal of Anub'ikkaj
- A very strong stat stick, granting you a huge random secondary stat proc.

Embellishments

Duskthread Lining 2x
- Increases your Versatility by a small amount, while above 80% HP

Remaining Sparks

Crafted items are 636 item level and regular items are 639 on max item level, therefore, it's not beneficial to equip crafted items outside of your 2x embellishments unless you don't have access to other high item level gear on that slot.

Races

Patch 11.0.2 - The War Within

Mistweaver Monk

For min-maxing a Mistweaver Monk in Mythic+ Dungeons, different racial traits can provide a tremendous benefit to your characters. If this is not your top goal, picking a race that fits your style works just as well.

Shadowmeld -- Night Elf
- Turns you invisible, any action, movement, or suffering any damage breaks this effect.
Stoneform -- Dwarf
- Removes all magic, bleed, poison, and disease effects and reduces physical damage taken.

Recommendation:

I recommend playing Night Elf this season! The higher the keys you run, the more essential Shadowmeld becomes in certain dungeons where you can ignore certain mechanics.
