Mistweaver Monk Gearing Guide

Season 3 Mistweaver Monk Tier Set:

This season’s tier set is focused around your Hero talents and empowering them through different ways. Below are the two options we have for mistweaver, Conduit of the Celestials and Master of Harmony.

Conduit of the Celestials tier set

• (2) Set Bonus: Heart of the Jade Serpent additionally triggers for 8 sec at 100% effectiveness after you cast Thunder Focus Tea.
• (4) Set Bonus: Heart of the Jade Serpent increases your haste by 15% while active and for 4 sec afterwards.

Master of Harmony tier set

• (2) Set Bonus: Gaining vitality has an increasing chance to cause your next Tiger Palm to unleash a Harmonic Surge, dealing [20 * (400% of Spell power) / 100] Nature damage split between your target and other nearby enemies, and [80 * (500% of Spell power) / 100] healing to up to 5 injured allies.
• (4) Set Bonus: Casting Thunder Focus Tea guarantees that your next 2 cast of Tiger Palm will trigger a Harmonic Surge.

Regarding this tier set “Gaining vitality” is whenever you’re healing something. So the 2pc effect will trigger very often by just damaging your target. Remember that when you use Thunder Focus tea you will activate spending of your vitality.

There’s a great Weakaura for tracking Vitality made by Swirl over on Wago (Aspect of Harmony Vitality Tracker | Wago.io).

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.

• Overall
• Raiding
• Mythic+

Season 3 has some returning trinkets from previous seasons that are really good for Mistweaver. For example Signet Of The Priory is still very strong when paired with your 2 minute cooldown. The below list is ordered from best in slot at the top.

• Diamantine Voidcore (if paired with Voidglass Sovereign’s Blade)
• Astral Antenna
• So’leah’s Secret Technique
• Ara-Kara Sacbrood
• Empowering Crystal of Anub’ikkaj
• Signet of the Priory (Priory of the Sacred Flame). On-use trinket that pairs really well with your 2 minute cooldowns.

Honorable mention for M+ that Loom’ithars Living Silk is really good for higher keys as it puts absorb shields on your party members.

You can also simulate your best trinkets for healing over at QE Live.

Embellishments are generally weak and because of this you’ll prioritise crafting in the following order. These recommendations might change during the first month of the raid tier due to tuning. Always consult QE Live for what’s your highest valued embellishment based on your character's gear.

This tier has a strong set of weapons in raid that you should use if you can get them. In a group environment of progress raiding you’re usually prioritised lower though. So a good option is to craft a 2-hand weapon as your first craft.

1. Vagabond’s Bounding Baton - pair this with Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension as your 1st embellishment. This is a 2-hand staff so you’ll need 2 sparks.
2. Writhing Armor Banding - use this as your 2nd embellishment on any crafted armor piece as it doubles the effect of Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension on your Vagabond’s Bounding Baton.
3. Any piece of crafted gear that can replace a lower item level piece.

Reshii Wraps

Reshii Wraps is a new Cloak released in Patch 11.2 and will be the only cloak you use (and the only one that can drop from any content in Season 3). You gain access to it via a quest chain and completing chapter 3 of the main patch storyline.

The Reshii Wraps are upgradable via Ethereal Strands and can have secondary stats of your choice added to it.

To add a secondary stat to the Reshii Wraps you use a Fiber in the Fiber Socket of the Cloak. The highest quality version of the Fibers requires a work-order to a Tailor.

When picking a Fiber, I strongly recommend simming your character for the best stat for your current gear and intended content. If you just want a quick recommendation for which Reshii Fiber to use, then use Pure Chronomantic Fiber (Haste).

To find out more about the Reshii Wraps, you can read the Method Reshii Wraps Overview Guide.

D.I.S.C Belt & Miniature Titan Disc Effects

In Patch 11.1.7 the Durable Information Securing Container (D.I.S.C) belt can be unlocked through a quest chain involving Delves gives access to choose one of several effect options. Generally you’re free to choose whichever one of them you prefer as they are self explanatory in what they do. With that said, there are some more valuable Miniature Titan Disc Effects than others for Mistweaver Monk for Mythic+ and Raiding:

• Cauterizing Bolts - great option when raiding as it targets the lowest health friendly target.
• Charged Touch - similar effect as Cauterizing Bolts just that it only hits one target.
• Critical Chain - great effect overall paired with Mug’s Moxie Jug to increase your healing output.
• Spark Burst - our highest preferred secondary stat.
• Static Charge - good option for increasing your damage and healing output when you’re already reaching soft cap on crit and haste.

Regarding Electric Current, it’s our least preferred option as Mistweaver doesn’t actively play around mastery.

If you find yourself overhealing too much in a raid environment you can swap your belt effect to one of the damage or shield effects listed below. Same goes for if you want to prioritise damage in a Mythic+ environment.

• Charged Bolts
• Charged Crystal
• Energy Shield
