Stat Priorities

Stat Ranking

Haste > Crit = 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. Interestingly, 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. Additionally, Critical Strike synergises extremely well with Uplifted Spirits.

Mastery: This makes our Renewing Mist, Enveloping Mist, Rising Sun Kick, Expel Harm, Revival/Restoral, Sheilun’s Gift, Jadefire Stomp and Vivify cause a gust of mist to hit our target, healing the primary target for a value based on your mastery. Mastery has historically been our worst stat. With several buffs to our Mastery scaling in The War Within it’s now a decent stat but we’ll not actively pursue high amounts of it as the other stats still outperforms mastery.

Races

Night Elf, Dwarf and Dark Iron Dwarf are three great choices for both raiding and Mythic+.

However, do play whatever race you prefer as the differences between them are minor.

Enchants

Cloak:

Chest: Enchant Chest - Crystalline Radiance

Bracers:

Boots: Enchant Boots - Defender's March

Legs: Sunset Spellthread

Rings: Enchant Ring - Radiant Haste

Weapon: Enchant Weapon - Stormrider's Fury

Gems

Insightful Blasphemite as your main stat gem and then Deadly Emerald for all other gem slots. Alternatively, if you want to increase your maximum mana through the Algari Diamond effect of Insightful Blasphemite make sure you slot different colors of gem.

Recommended gems with Haste that interacts with Insightful Blasphemite:

Consumables

Food: Feast of the Divine Day or Stuffed Cave Peppers

Phials: Flask of Tempered Swiftness

Potions: Algari Mana Potion or Slumbering Soul Serum for mana. Tempered Potion for throughput increase.

Health Potions: Algari Healing Potion
