Mistweaver Monk Gearing Guide

Season 2 Mistweaver Monk Tier Set:

This season's tier set is built around the 2-pc bonus being role specific and 4-pc effect bonus is unique for every spec. In short all healers have the same 2-pc effect and every healer spec has different 4-pc bonuses The actual power scaling of 2pc and 4pc bonuses are different for all healer specs.

• (2) Set Bonus: Your healing spells have a chance to apply Insurance! to their targets that heals them for (394.45% of Spell power) over 15 sec. Insurance! is consumed if an ally drops below 40% health to heal them for (236.67% of Spell power).
• (4) Set Bonus: Casting Renewing Mist applies Insurance! for 6 sec. The healing of Insurance! is increased by up to 50% in proportion to the coverage Renewing Mist has on you and up to 10 allies.

Insurance! has two effects related to it. First there’s the ticking healing effect of it and then there’s the second one where it gets instantly consumed for a fixed amount of healing if you drop below 40% health.

The (4) Set Bonus of Insurance! can be applied through Rapid Diffusion when casting Enveloping Mist as it spreads Renewing Mists. This makes it so your Invoke Yu’Lon, the Serpent will have the added effect of spreading several Insurance! buffs throughout the raid naturally. On top of this you’ll also play Chi Harmony as it will increase the overall healing of both Renewing Mist from Rapid Diffusion and the healing from Insurance!

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+

Most trinkets that drop from bosses in Liberation of Undermine are great options. You should try and get your hands on any trinket combination. Signet of the Priory is especially strong for Yu’lon ramp healing.

• Signet of the Priory (Priory of the Sacred Flame). On-use trinket that pairs really well with your 2 minute cooldowns.
• Carved Blazikon Wax (Darkflame Cleft). Primarily good for Mythic+.
• Mug’s Moxie Jug (Mug’Zee)
• Mister Pick-Me-Up (Sprocketmonger Lockenstock)
• Eye of Kezan (Gallywix). This trinket is primarily for raid encounters as it drops stacks out of combat. It takes 2 minutes to reach the same value as other trinkets and full strength at 4 minutes.

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.

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.

Dinars

Seeing as Dinars will be timegated and earned over several weeks, your Dinar choice should focus on high value pieces that are hard to get. For Mistweaver that’s been trinkets this tier, and so you would most likely prioritise the following items:

1. Mister Pick-Me-Up
2. Mug’s Moxie Jug
3. Eye of Kezan

Corruption

General consensus for Mistweaver is that you pick Void Ritual as your choice of corruption, as it gives secondary stats. There’s sadly no healing effect corruption, as all of the other corruption enchants are damage focused. If you’re already overhealing by a lot, you can always change to using a damage corruption as an alternative.
