Stat Priorities
Stat Ranking
Raid / Mythic+: Haste > Critical Strike = Versatility > Mastery
Stat Outline
Haste: This increases our attack and spell casting speed, and reduces the time between our HoT ticks. This interacts especially well with our newer talents, such as Misty Peaks and Rapid Diffusion.
Versatility: This stat will increase your damage and healing done, whilst also reducing damage taken. Absorbs such as Life Cocoon, Chi Cocoon, and Yu’lon’s Grace only scale with Versatility and player health. This makes Versatility even more beneficial for Mistweaver Monks.
Critical Strike: This gives your spells a chance for extra effectiveness on damage and healing. Versatility and Critical Strike are both very close in value.
Mastery: Directly impacts your scaling of Gust of Mists which procs from casting Renewing Mist or Enveloping Mist healing your target for a value based on your mastery. Mastery has historically been our worst and still considered to be in Midnight as it’s scaling really bad for the amount of invested statpoints needed for it to be good.
Races
For raiding the currently preferred race is Mag’har Orc because of its racial Ancestral Call giving secondary stats that lines up with your celestial cooldown. However with that said there’s nothing stopping you from playing any other preferred race as the impact of racials in healing output is not that huge.
Night Elf, Dwarf and Dark Iron Dwarf are three great choices for Mythic+. Dwarfs are exceptional at being able to remove bleeds and similar effects from oneself with their racials: Stoneform and Fireblood.
