Mistweaver Monk Stat Priority
Intellect > Critical Strike > Spirit > Mastery > Haste
Prioritize Intellect as much as you possibly can. The more Intellect you have, the stronger your spells will be and the more mana you will have. After focusing on Intellect, you’ll want to get as much Critical Strike as possible. A huge part of your healing output comes from Healing Spheres, which already have a super low global cooldown. Critical Strike is important for buffing all of your heals, especially orbs.
Followed by Critical Strike, aim for as much Spirit as you can get to feel comfortable. This will provide more mana sustainability as a Mistweaver Monk, especially with mana always being an issue in the first season of an expansion.
Then you will aim to stack Mastery, which will automatically proc Healing Spheres on the ground, and lastly Haste. Haste is your least important stat and should be avoided while gearing.
Thankfully, PvP has two new stats engrained on all PvP gear. These two are PvP Resilience and PvP Power.
PvP Resilence is identical to its predecessor, Resilience, as it reduces incoming damage from enemy players. PvP Power, on the other hand, is a completely new stat that makes our healing and damage stronger to other players. These two will naturally apply as you gear, meaning you don’t have to worry about min-maxxing these stats.
When reforging, you can convert any Haste piece for more Critical Strike or Spirit, depending on what you prefer the most with your current gear.
A new expansion offers new possibilities to learn different information that has been added, changed, or removed in the game. Our Skill Capped Guide will provide you with that information at ease through our specialized premium courses. Consult with the best PvP players with years of PvP competitive experience. They will teach you how to be ahead of the composition. Sign up today for a 5% discount and jumpstart your Mists of Pandaria PvP climb with a +400 rating guarantee.
