Mistweaver Monk Tier Set
- 2 set: Renewing Mist applies Chi Harmony to its initial target, increasing their healing taken from you by 50% for 8 seconds.
- 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 very strong tier set, and we will once again be using it in S4. You will want to ensure that Chi Harmony is being tracked on your raid frames, as it is a key buff one should be cognizant of. To expand on how this tier set works, I’d like to highlight two fundamental points:
- Chi Harmony is only applied in two ways: directly targeting someone with ReM, or generating a new ReM via Dancing Mists. Thus, our ramp is even stronger than in previous tiers.
- Each CH buff and ‘pot’ is independent. Each CH buff stores healing and then redistributes it on active ReM targets, but there is no feedback loop. It would be best described as many little ‘bubbles’, popping on active ReM targets.
Mistweaver Monk Best in Slot Gear
The list below is to be used as a rough guideline for what gear you should be using as a Mistweaver Monk, and help you target the right content for each piece of loot. Healer simming is also extremely valuable, and this can be done through QELive.

Antique Bronze Bullion Buy List
Your Bullion use will depend on a few things, but I would generally recommend purchasing:
- Smoldering Seedling
- Neltharion’s Call to Dominance / Whispering Incarnate Icon / Ominous Chromatic Essence *
- Quake-Detecting Seismostaff, if you do not already have a Mythic alternative.
* Note: this may depend on your goals. E.g., a M+ group may request that you run either a Whispering Incarnate Icon or a Ominous Chromatic Essence, as it benefits your DPS. If you’re intending to raid, then Neltharion’s Call to Dominance is best.
Mistweaver Monk Embellishments
You’ll want to normally send your first Spark on a 1H weapon, which will typically be your largest upgrade.
Your second Spark typically will be used on Elemental Lariat.
Your third Spark typically will be the Signet of Titanic Insight with the Verdant Tether embellishment. This embellishment is specifically good on a ring, as it has 22% more versatility when applied to a ring, compared to another piece of equal item level gear.
