Mistweaver Monk Stat Priority

Versatility > Haste > Mastery > Critical Strike

Versatility will be our most important stat. You want to focus on getting as much of it as you can, up to at least 25%. This will happen automatically through PvP gearing, as most of the items you will end up using will have Versatility on them.

Beyond this stat, we suggest focusing heavily on Haste especially when playing our Mastery of Harmony build. This not only reduces the global cooldown but reduces the cooldown on Rushing Wind Kick, allowing you to create massive pressure from your damage alone.

Followed by Haste, we have Mastery. Having a decent amount of this increases your healing throughput and is applied immediately after successfully casting a majority of your core healing spells. After recent nerfs to our Mastery effects as well as Resplendent Mist, this stat has become less favorable as it was in previous patches, which has resulted in a dramatic shift to Haste.

Critical Strike provides us with the least amount of benefits to our toolkit, therefore making it avoided at all costs.

Weapons

Main Hand: Astral Gladiator’s Staff

Trinkets

Trinket 1: Astral Gladiator’s Insignia of Alacrity
Trinket 2: Astral Gladiator’s Medallion

When it comes to trinkets, the offensive option is the Astral Gladiator’s Insignia of Alacrity. This provides us with a static boost to our Haste, which helps with our current stat priority, and grants us a considerable boost to our primary stat in order to enhance our sustain healing.

You will then need a Astral Gladiator’s Medallion to break out of CC every 1 minute and 30 seconds.

If you find yourself struggling with survivability and become a potential kill target against certain teams, you can substitute in Astral Gladiator’s Emblem instead of Astral Gladiator’s Insignia of Alacrity. This temporarily increases your health and can be combined with cooldowns that scale based on your current HP to receive higher value out of it, such as Fortifying Brew.

Best Mistweaver Monk Embellishments

Item 1: Energy Redistribution Beacon on any crafted slot.
Item 2: Energy Redistribution Beacon on any crafted slot.

The Elemental Focusing Lens embellishment provides us with the most consistent throughput, and is only effective as long as you have at least 1 gem equipped.

This embellishment occasionally deals damage from a specific school of magic based on the gem you equip. Keep in mind that the damage from this embellishment can’t be buffed by cooldowns, talents, or any damage bonuses from school types.

Best Mistweaver Monk Gems

Core Gems: Cognitive Bloodstone + Quick Sapphire
Alternative Gems: Versatile Emerald

Core Fiber: Pure Chronomantic Fiber
Alternative Fiber: Pure Dexterous Fiber

In The War Within, you will use a Vicious Jeweler’s Setting to add sockets to your Helmet, Neck, Bracers, Belt and Rings. Two sockets can be added to the Neck and Rings.

For your new unique PvP-specific gem, we highly recommend the Cognitive Bloodstone, reacting similar to our Precognition embellishment from Dragonflight.

For all gem slots, we will use either Versatile Emerald or Quick Sapphire, depending on your preference. Both will provide us with a static amount of Haste, slightly supporting our healing throughput.

As of now, we notice a majority of players currently using the new Reshii Wraps cloak introduced from the 11.2.0 patch. This new piece of gear requires a fiber socket to which we suggest opting for the Pure Chronomantic Fiber to best suit our stat priority. Alternatively, you can use Pure Dexterous Fiber instead if you want to increase your own survivability.
