Talent Builds

This is your standard raid build for most bosses in The War Within. The build helps in maintaining a high amount of Renewing Mist stacks and paired with Zen Pulse you’ll have a good amount of AoE healing.

Using this build you don’t have access to Shahao’s Lessons so Sheilun’s Gift is only used for healing and triggering Heart of the Jade Serpent.

Only difference with this build to our other Rising Mist build is that you play Jade Bond instead of Gift of the Celestials. This makes your Invoke Yu’lon, the jade serpent a 3 minute cooldown reduced by triggering Gust of Mists. If played well you should be able to reduce it to a 2 minute cooldown which works for several of the raid bosses in War Within.

A few points within the capstone section can be altered. Unison can be swapped for either Legacy of Wisdom or Chrysalis. Unison is the highest throughput talent out of the three options, however the others are competitive and may suit certain situations better.

Peer Into Peace is a fantastic talent which was added in Dragonflight. It is designed to help redistribute our immense overhealing. This means that there is some finesse in deciding whether to continue overhealing an individual, to benefit your raid healing, or if it is necessary to swap targets to save another player. Generally, our ramp has now become much faster, as all of your Enveloping Mist casts are instant.

A few class talent nodes have been altered for this build, as they are incredibly valuable in Mythic+.

If you would prefer to DPS, then Shaohao Lessons can be chosen. Generally, however, I would recommend Veil of Pride, especially in higher key levels.

Jadefire Stomp is the activator of Ancient Teachings. To ensure a Jadefire Stomp reset, you can stand in an old Jadefire Stomp and use Chi Burst on enemies. This is rarely needed anymore as the cooldown was lowered on Jadefire Stomp in The War Within, but if you do find yourself needing a reset use Chi Burst. Make sure to always keep this buff up as much as possible as it’s your main healing.

Class Talents

These talents are what I’d generally recommend for most content. The following talents are mandatory talents in the class tree for Mistweaver: Save Them All, Vivacious Vivification, Chi Proficiency, and Calming Presence.

In general, most of your other talent choices will be made based on what you, the group, or the content you are playing requires. Some talent points can be adjusted depending on the type of content that you intend to do (e.g., Soothing Mist can be dropped for a Rising Mist centric raid build). Diffuse Magic will often be far more helpful in Mythic+ compared to Yu’lon’s Grace, which is recommended for raiding (although it can have niche uses in Mythic+, as it scales off of maximum health).

Hero Talents

With The War Within Mistweaver two Hero Talent trees were added to Mistweaver, Conduit of the Celestials and Master of Harmony. Master of Harmony is currently heavily undertuned and hindered by several bugs. Therefore this guide will not go through Master of Harmony. Conduit of the Celestials is our only good choice as of now and we’ll go through the important parts of it.

Conduit of the Celestials

Celestial Conduit

This tree focuses around the new Hero Talent Conduit of the Celestials which is a strong channeling AoE heal and damage talent on a 90 second cooldown. Make sure to pair it with Shaohao’s Lessons if talented into it for even stronger healing on your group.

Heart of the Jade Serpent

Heart of the Jade Serpent - After consuming 10 stacks of Sheilun’s Gift (20 if using Veil of Pride) you’ll receive a cooldown reduction on several of your abilities. The buff in itself doesn’t really have that much of an impact to your healing. However it does receive the 200% extra effectiveness from Unity Within so you have the option of intentionally triggering Heart of the Jade Serpent after using Celestial Conduit to make your Rising Sun Kick and Renewing Mist cooldown very short.

Courage of the White Tiger

Courage of the White Tiger has a chance to proc passively from your Tiger Palm and Vivify. When it procs, Xuen will damage your target and and heal a nearby ally based on how much damage was done. You will also receive a stack of the buff Strength of the Black Ox.

You can guarantee a proc of this talent after using your Yu’lon or Chi-Ji cooldown.

Strength of the Black Ox

Strength of the Black Ox is an active buff allowing you to cast your Enveloping Mist faster and it also grants an absorb shield to allies around your Enveloping Mist target. The buff is consumed on casting Enveloping Mist until the next time you gain one from Courage of the White Tiger. So keep weaving in those Enveloping Mists on your group whenever you receive the buff.

Flight of the Red Crane

The intention of Flight of the Red Crane is to give you a stack of Mana Tea and doesn’t really impact your healing as the heal is so small. Also grants you 2% haste through the interaction with Inner Compass.

Inner Compass

Inner Compass is a flat percentage stat buff that cycles between your four secondary stats depending on which celestial last helped you.

Unity Within

Unity Within is your keystone talent at the bottom of the Hero Talent tree. At the end of your Celestial Conduit channel you’ll call upon all of your celestials at an increased effectiveness. Take note that you can end your Celestial Conduit channel early intentionally if you want this effect directly.
