Overview
Hero Talents
- 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 20 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 giving you another stack of Thunder Focus Tea and making it the enabler for Aspect of Harmony which splashes out the healing you have gathered in your Vitality resource that you will see as a buff.
- But overall Conduit of the Celestials is the stronger choice for Raid, so this guide will focus mainly on Conduit of the Celestials as the Hero Talent choice.
- You gain the ability Celestial Conduit on a 1.5 min cooldown, this is a very strong cooldown for healing, you may move while channeling, and its healing and damage are increased up to 30%, for 6% per target.
- You can recast this ability during its duration, to have all the August Celestials assist at 200% increased effectiveness, it will do it automatically if not used before the end of the cast.
- Heart of the Jade Serpent gives you 75% reduced cooldown time on Renewing Mist, Rising Sun Kick, Life Cocoon and Thunder Focus Tea whenever you consume a total of 20 stacks of Sheilun's Gift.
- Jade Sanctuary gives 15% damage reduction whenever you cast Celestial Conduit and it lingers for 8 seconds after.
- August Dynasty enhances the next Rising Sun Kick by doing 30% more damage, or Vivify by doing 50% more healing.
- Aspect of Harmony stores "vitality", up to a certain amount, from 10% of your damage, and 20% of your healing, with overhealing at a reduced amount. Casting Thunder Focus Tea activates Aspect of Harmony for 10 seconds, making your spells draw out the amount of vitality stored, to deal 25% additional damage or healing over 8 seconds on the targets.
- Through Coalescence which makes Aspect of Harmony have a chance of spreading to a nearby target, by dealing damage or healing. You also deal 10% more damage and healing to targets you healed with Aspect of Harmony.
- Path of Resurgence makes your Chi Burst increases all vitality store by 25% for 10 seconds.
- Harmonic Gambit enables Aspect of Harmony through your single target abilities to draw vitality to deal damage.
- Endless Draught gives your Thunder Focus Tea another charge.
- Overwhelming Force makes your single target abilities deal 15% more damage in a line in front of you.
Talents
When to use this Spec
This is the Rising Mist build for Mistweaver Monk, which makes you a melee healer, focusing on casting many Rising Sun Kick to extend the duration of your HoT's with Rising Mist. Use this Spec if you like being in melee, and if the encounter is not too anti-melee.

- Chi Harmony
- The target you cast Renewing Mist on take 50% more healing from you for 8 seconds, but it cannot jump to a new target during that time.

When to use this Spec
- This is the Soothing Mist build which sort of makes you able to play as a ranged healer. You have to adjust the class talent tree based on the utility needed for the encounter. To make your life easier, boss-specific talent loadouts are available in the Nerub-ar Palace section.
Talent Adjustments
Spec Tree
- Added
- Tear of Morning
- The core talent for this build, that makes all your allies with your Renewing Mist, when you cast on an ally that already has a Renewing Mist on them, take 12% of the total healing from Enveloping Mist upfront, and 15% healing increased from Invigorating Mists cleave.
- Peer Into Peace
- This talent makes you able to keep casting Soothing Mist and switch targets when casting either Vivify or Enveloping Mist. It also increases the Soothing Mist channel by 4 seconds and 5% of overhealing you do on targets with Soothing Mist goes onto 3 nearby injured allies.
- Trait #124873
- The absorb amount of Life Cocoon is increased by 80%.
- Unison
- Your Soothing Mist also heals a second injured ally for 25% of the amount healed.
- Tear of Morning
- Removed
- Mending Proliferation
- You will be casting Soothing Mist a lot and gain a lot of value from the other choice node talent.
- Crane Style
- You will not cast that many Rising Sun Kick with this build.
- Uplifted Spirits
- Less value with this build due to not casting as many Rising Sun Kick, but if this talent would make you gain another cast of Revival that would be crucial to defeat a boss, then take this talent and remove Healing Elixir.
- Mending Proliferation
Rotation
Tier Set
- 2-Set: Enveloping Mist and Renewing Mist healing increased by 10%.
- 4-Set: Vivify extends the duration of Renewing Mist and Enveloping Mist by 3.0 sec, up to 3.0 sec.
This set emphasizes your casting-focused playstyle by enhancing the output of Enveloping Mist and Renewing Mist, and Vivify increases the duration of those buffs by 3 seconds when you cast on them, making Peer Into Peace work together very well with this Tier Set.
Priority List
- Cast Renewing Mist so you never reach 3 stacks.
- Cast Rising Sun Kick on cooldown, which extends your HoT durations through Rising Mist.
- Cast Mana Tea before casting any Vivify and Enveloping Mist for the 30% mana cost reduction.
- Cast Thunder Focus Tea on Renewing Mist to gain Haste throughSecret Infusion.
- Cast Enveloping Mist when you have Strength of the Black Ox.
- Cast Vivify to heal an ally and the raid.
- Cast Tiger Palm to gain Teachings of the Monastery stacks.
Cast Renewing Mist so you never reach 2 stacks.
Cast Mana Tea before casting any Vivify and Enveloping Mist for the 30% mana cost reduction.
Cast Thunder Focus Tea on Renewing Mist to gain Haste through Secret Infusion.
Cast Soothing Mist on a target with Chi Harmony on them.
Cast Enveloping Mist for the healing itself and the healing increase.
Cast Vivify to heal the target and the raid.
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 as it deals increased healing based on targets hit.
Invoke Yu'lon, the Jade Serpent
- Your main healing cooldown as Mistweaver Monk, which heals allies, reduces the Mana cost of your Enveloping Mist, and paired with other talent nodes also gives you:
- Celestial Harmony that gives a shield to 5 allies and your Enveloping Mist applies an extra HoT and 10% heal increase with Enveloping Breath.
- Gift of the Celestials which reduces the cooldown by 2 min, making it a 1 min cooldown, but decreases duration to 12 sec.
- Invoker's Delight that gives you a 33% Haste buff for 8 seconds when you summon Yu'lon.
- You may cast more or less Enveloping Mist, but you really wanna cast Vivify for when you need the big burst healing
- Ramp with the Soothing Mist build example. You may cast more or less Enveloping Mist but you really wanna cast Vivify for when you need the big burst healing
Revival
- To maximize Revival, check for crucial magic, poison, or disease dispels in the encounter. Pairing it with 3 out of 4 buffs from Shaohao's Lessons boosts healing by a good amount. Its instant cast is ideal for heavy movement phases.
Sheilun's Gift with Shaohao's Lessons
- Sheilun's Gift with Shaohao's Lessons, is a powerful cooldown for both the initial heal and the 4 buffs: Lesson of Doubt, Lesson of Despair, Lesson of Fear, and Lesson of Anger. Cast Sheilun's Gift before you cast your healing cooldowns Invoke Yu'lon, the Jade Serpent and Revival.
Thunder Focus Tea with Secret Infusion
- Using Thunder Focus Tea with Secret Infusion provides both the empowerment and a 15% secondary stat buff, depending on the next spell cast. Generally use Renewing Mist for a 10-second duration increase and 15% haste from Secret Infusion. Use this ability before you cast your Invoke Yu'lon, the Jade Serpent to maximize the haste benefit.
Life Cocoon
- A high absorb external which can be a lifesaver for both other allies and yourself. Use it to save allies from dying, or combine it with Invoke Yu'lon, the Jade Serpent because of the talent Mists of Life that will grant Renewing Mist and Enveloping Mist on the target for increased total healing output.
Deep Dive
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. Say you are casting several Enveloping Mist on the raid, and then you specifically cast Vivify on those players to extend the HoT. When you also extend the duration with Rising Sun Kick by playing the Rising Mist build, you can have almost a 10 sec long Enveloping Mist duration on your targets.
Min maxing Sheilun's Gift with Shaohao's Lessons
- Use Sheilun's Gift before every Invoke Yu'lon, the Jade Serpent, regardless of how many stacks, and regardless of what buff it is. You can use 3 out of 4 buffs from Shaohao's Lessons to boost Revival output, but ideally, you don't mess up your Shaohao's Lessons buff that you want for your Invoke Yu'lon, the Jade Serpent.
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.

Phase 1

- Externals
- Use your Life Cocoon on Binding Webs targets without strong defensive cooldowns as those are the people most likely to die.
- Paradox
- Ask for it if you are assigned to play Binding Webs as you will have to do strong spot healing while on the move.
- General
- The people in danger in this phase are the ones playing Binding Webs. Ensure you keep them healthy so they can fully focus on the mechanic without having to worry about other things.
- Dispel your tank as often as possible whenever he has multiple stacks of Poison Bolt as this mechanic will easily kill your tank if ignored.

How To Use Your Healing Cooldowns
- These cooldowns were assigned with the primary goal of defeating the boss, rather than maximizing raw HPS.
Boss Tips
Phase 1
- Defensives
- Use Fortifying Brew any time you have more stacks then expected from Frothy Toxin, or if you are not healthy before Silken Tomb hits.
- Externals
- Use your Life Cocoon on the tank with Feast absorb if needed, otherwise you can use it on targets without strong defensive cooldowns as those are the people most likely to die.
- Paradox
- Ask for it if whenever you get knocked up in the air during your Invoke Yu'lon, the Jade Serpent, allowing you to keep ramping during the knock up and dodge the waves coming in from the soaks.
- General
- There are a lot of very dangerous one-shot mechanics in this phase, make sure to prioritize your own survival and play mechanics to survive, the healing requirement in phase 1 is not as high as you may think, so play to live rather than maximizing your output will make you progress this boss faster.
- You can make use of Transcendence a lot on this fight for knock ups and you can break your root or anyone else's root with Tiger's Lust.
Intermission
- General
- Use the double jump from the talent Lighter Than Air to negate the Wrest grip mechanic, and use all your healing to top the raid before Wrest rather than after, play to win, not to maximize your output and letting people die.
Phase 2
- Defensives
- Use Fortifying Brew when people are going through the Shadowgate for dispels and there is a Wrest grip at the same time.
- Externals
- Use your Life Cocoon on targets who walk through the Shadowgate to get a dispel, or if someone is very low health before Wrest.
- Paradox
- Ask for Spatial Paradox when you are gonna use Invoke Yu'lon, the Jade Serpent in this phase.
- General
- Here you can also use Lighter Than Air to easily negate the Wrest grip mechanic.
- Try to time your healing for when people walk through the Shadowgate and you are about to dispel, you want your side of the raid to be healthy before you dispel as it does a lot of damage.
Phase 3
- Defensives
- Use Fortifying Brew if you get Royal Condemnation.
- Externals
- Use your Life Cocoon on targets with Royal Condemnation.
- Paradox
- Ask for Spatial Paradox with your last Invoke Yu'lon, the Jade Serpent in this phase.
- General
- Your Ring of Peace will be crucial in this phase when the small adds spawn, make sure to time this, and place it well, as a small misplacement of the ring will make the small adds walk into the boss and it's a wipe.
- You can completely dodge the incoming ring from Abyssal Infusion with Transcendence, this make you a excellent carrier of an essence on the 2nd set of this mechanic, where it usually is a bit more chaotic.
- There is a lot of running in this phase, and mainly using personals and externals correctly on the 3 targets with Royal Condemnation, if the 3 targets, and everyone else survives, there will not be a big issue in healing the raid up afterwards, even with plenty of adds up, this phase is also very heavily play-to-win based, not about actual hps throughput.
Stat Priority
Understand your secondary stat priority and the tertiary stats needed for optimal performance during Raid boss fights as a Mistweaver Monk. For more detailed information, visit the Stats and Attributes guide.
The Conclusion here is that you want to equip the highest item level generally.
- Blizzard introduced Stat drs, which you should 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 shouldn't consider this stat when choosing between two items.
- Here is a showcase of how powerful Leech is for a Healer: Breakdown of Mythic Fyrakk
Gear
Due to the way stat weights work for Mistweaver Monks, there isn't a strict best-in-slot list. Although it is theoretically possible to obtain items with all the correct Tertiaries, doing so requires extraordinary luck or several human lifespans because of the weekly reset system in World of Warcraft.

Authors Note:
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.

Races
For Mistweaver Monk there's almost no variance between races, but some have some potentially useful racials that could be good in certain raid encounters.
- Stoneform -- Dwarf
- Can dispel Magic and Bleed debuffs. Has been useful in the past on some bosses with Bleeds.
- Arcane Torrent -- Blood Elf
- 2 minute cooldown that gives you some mana back and rarely can be used to dispel enemies.
- Shadowmeld -- Night Elf
- In raid rarely used, but you can use this racial to ignore certain targeted mechanics.
- Cannibalize -- Undead
- Famously used in certain encounters, this racial can be used on corpses that are Humanoid or Undead to regenerate 7% of your health and Mana every 2 sec for 10 sec.
Recommendation:
Unless you are really min-maxing, you should play whatever you want, whether it's lore or aesthetics. However, Dwarf with their Stoneform helped out on Tindral Sageswift & Fyrakk the Blazing in the latest Race to World First by having easy access to dispelling yourself at crucial points of the fights mentioned. And on Fyrakk the Blazing, Cannibalize could be used in Phase 2 on the smaller Undead adds that spawned.
So if I had to recommend any race in general, it would be Blood Elf for Arcane Acuity and Arcane Torrent, or Dwarf for Stoneform and Might of the Mountain.
