Mistweaver Monk Midnight Gearing Guide

Midnight Season 1 Mistweaver Monk Tier Set Bonuses:

• (2) Set Bonus: Renewing Mist healing is increased by 20%
• (4) Set Bonus: Casting Thunder Focus Tea applies a Renewing Mist for 20 sec onto a nearby ally

Tier Set Discussion:

Tier set effect from Midnight emphasises the continuous playstyle of keeping Renewing Mist up on as many targets as possible. In a raiding environment this works out great using Vivify and Invigorating Mists to cleave heal the entire raid group. Within a Mythic+ setting you’ll see great value from Mistline.

Overall it’s a great tier set when it comes to aiding your overall uptime of Renewing Mist.

You should still prioritise the gear you use by running a sim for your character, but the lists below will give you a good idea of what items are considered good for Mistweaver Monk, and help you target the right content for each piece of loot.

• Overall
• Raiding
• Mythic+

As it stands, there are multiple great options of trinkets we can target, four from raid and two from Mythic+: Any combo of them will work out for you early on in the season.

Trinkets from Raids

Gaze of the Alnseer - Multiple stacking procs of intellect throughout an encounter. Highly contended by everyone, including DPS-players so you might not get your hands on this one for a while.

Litany of Lightblind Wrath - This one is a bit special as you’ll need to do multiple instances of harmful spells on your trinket target after usage. Luckily for Mistweavers we can use Conduit of the Celestials for this which lines up perfectly with the trinkets 1.5min cd. This is also considered a healer trinket in raid so you’re more likely to be able to get it compared to the other trinkets.

Locus-Walker’s Ribbon - Even though this has mastery as a secondary, which Mistweaver generally don’t want, it continuously stacks intellect up to 10 times while in combat. You’re already receiving more intellect from the first stack of it than what any other trinket’s static stats grant.

Volatile Void Suffuser - Having haste stats it’s great for Mistweaver, and on top of that, it also has a chance to grant you intellect while healing.

Trinkets from Mythic+

Emberwing Feather - Active on-use trinket granting haste pairs really nicely with your celestial cooldowns. The trinket, being on a 2 minute cooldown also has it working out great paired with the Mag’har Orc racial Ancestral Call.

Heart of Wind - Passive procs of haste throughout the fight has always been a great thing for Mistweaver as most of our spells scale with haste.

With the start of Heroic raid week you’ll have access to 4x Spark Of Radiance that you can use to craft a 2-hand weapon, or any other piece depending on your priority.

There are some things to take into consideration regarding a weapon-craft though.

For early progress value it’s worth crafting a 2-hand staff using just sparks and no crests, and then recrafting to mythic when you have mythic crests. If your guild doesn’t clear the entire tier on Mythic level within 8 weeks you should hold off on crafting and try and get a weapon from M+ vault instead.

One Recommended crafting order is:

1. 2-hand weapon, Aln’hara Cane. This will require 4x Spark Of Radiance and can be crafted with the Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt embellishment
2. Any high intellect armor piece that’s not a tier piece slot. Waist, boots and shoulders are great options. Shoulders are considered an off-piece slot (the tier piece slot you won’t be using) as it has too much mastery. Pair these with the Arcanoweave Lining embellishment.
