Caster MW Stat Priority

If I want to play strictly crackleweaver in 2s, 3s, and solo shuffle and not use rushing wind kick which stat priority should I be focusing on?

Just don’t do it. Not worth it.

I’d love to play just crackling all the time, but it’s just not viable right now if you want to push.

If you are still trying to go for it, then crit/vers/haste or just same haste/vers as hybrid.

I tried crackling with crit/mastery/vers and it really sucks. Sacrificing haste for mastery is awful.

Again, I’d play crackling always, but this is not the season, probably not even the expansion.

Haste till like 20% then vers

But mw really is not built for caster this season. Mistweaver frankly is not built for pvp period. GL

Idk maybe with 4 set proc rate FW makes a comeback? :eyes:

def feels weird to play

Apart from kick nothing heals lol

Yeah that’s why mw didn’t get any tuning last week and isn’t getting much this week.

I think the funniest part about mistweaver this season is that, in a board room at Blizz HQ, some group of devs are probably pulling their hair out wondering why people don’t like mistweaver right now. “They all said they liked rushing wind kick, so we omega buffed it and gave it a special set bonus and now the entire spec is centered around rushing wind kick, the ability that all those mistweaver players (except for me apparently) said they loved! Why are they all upset???”

Completely missing the mark for what makes a class great, and what made mistweaver great. We have 1 button that heals. And with the 4-set, our class is just “run in an RWK repeatedly” and we do basically nothing else.

Mistweaver is dead. Blizz either needs to bite the bullet and commit to the bit of a fistweaver healer, or make two dedicated fistweaving and caster weaving healing specs. Until Blizz fixes caster mistweaver I’m off the class. Shame.

This is the worst season not to play RWK. The set bonuses require you play RWK.

Yeah but I play a healer to heal. With the death of caster weaver that’s not a thing with mistweaver anymore. What’s left is a sick joke.

RWK is my top healing ability…

the point is: it is garbage design

Current MW is the worst a healer has ever been in the history of WoW PvP

It’s truly unplayable trash. Horrible mana, no ability does any healing, horrific playstyle of being forced to run in and press RWK which half the time bugs out and does no healing anyway.

Question regarding the tier for MW.

2-set seems mostly useless, boost to a heal that’s roughly 2% of total healing in most matches. The damage buff doesn’t apply to RWK, either by design or bug.

The 4-pc is seemingly good, but many kicks are sent with thunder tea, which already makes the cd zero with enough haste. So if the 4-pc procs during thunder tea, all it does is save 3,125 mana?

Clearly you’ve not played Mistweaver in Shadowlands season 1.

The PvP talent to port while stunned didn’t exist yet, they added it in season 2 precisely because Mistweavers were the kill target every game for the entirety of that first season: once you had forced their trinket, you could kill them in a stun since they had nothing at all to use during CC.

It depends what your goals are. I got to 2600 in shuffle last season with pure caster playstyle, no RWK, no spinning abuse.
It was fine. Optimal? Probably not, but I didn’t feel weak.

Much better after Hpriest nerfs in SS

Still feels horrible in 3s since mana is like a leaking fuel tank on an engine that does 50k HPS

When ever it procs, RWK will reset, the icon will glow, and have 50% reduced mana cost then the one after from TFT reset will be a normal RWK.

So you can get 5 back to back RWKs if it procs from 4set in a TFT.

RWK → TFT RWK → 4pc proc RWK → TFT reset RWK → 2nd charge reset RWK

True. It all depends on your goals. If you just want Elite. Then yes, go for it… maybe wait for inflation and you’re done.

You want to push R1 or Glad? It’s gonna be frustrating af.
