Mistweaver Monk Healing Gear and Best in Slot — The War Within (11.0.5)

Because of the diverse nature of gear and the variability of item level due to things like the weekly cache, a true "best in slot" list is slippery. You should always be equipping items that will benefit you based on your stat weights. To acquire said weights, use WoW Analyzer. More on that can be found below.

To find out how to best augment your gear with enchants and gems and optimize your characters with consumables, check out our Gem, Enchant, and Consumable page below.

Upon reaching Level 80, you have 3 main options to start gearing your character: Dungeons and Raids, PvP such as Arena or Battlegrounds, and world systems like Renown with the four main Reputations.

Once you can get invited to Mythic dungeons, be sure to complete each one during your first week, then look to see if you can find groups for your preferred style of play, be that Mythic+ or Rated PvP.

When an item is being crafted, you can add a reagent called an Embellishment that will cause that piece of gear to have a specific proc, depending on the reagent used. Additionally, some pieces of gear come with embellishments already on them. You can wear a maximum of 2 pieces of embellished gear.

Be aware that Embellishments are still being tuned, and as such it is a good idea to wait until Season 1 actually begins before using any of your Spark of Omenss to craft anything.

The following are the best Embellishments for Mistweaver Monk:

• Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension
• Darkmoon Sigil: Symbiosis

Tier Sets are a group of items that provide you with bonuses depending on how many items of that group you equip. These are always dropped from raids, but you can also acquire them from your Great Vault or by upgrading items via the Matrix Catalyst. The bonuses for Mistweavers are as follows:

• Monk Mistweaver Season 1 2pc — Enveloping Mist and Renewing Mist healing is increased by 10%
• Monk Mistweaver Season 1 4pc — Vivify will extend the duration of Renewing Mist and Enveloping Mist on its primary target by 3 seconds, up to 3 seconds.
