Does Mistweaver have alot of buttons/APM?

I really want to try out Mistweaver and curious if it’s full of button bloat and alot of key presses or more of a passive/chill healing while dpsing spec?

To me it feels slower than WW but it still feels pretty quick. Ive realized recently that as i get older, the higher apm classes are just too much for me. Class trials are back so id suggest making one and messing around to see if its your style. Cheers.

I’m new to Mistweaver, and it feels pretty bloated to me. What healing class are you coming from?

Holy Priest mostly, resto shaman years before that

I don’t think it’s bloated - I’d say it is complex but still within the sweet spot.

It’s not bloated, but to play it at a higher level there is abit more APM than other healers.
Tbh it’s probably one of the easier healers.

its passive chill i really enjoy healing and even doing pve content as mists. i’ve tried WW and is fun but I have more fun as mists thou that’s my personal opinion

Here’s some macros that will help reduce bloat

#showtooltip Renewing Mist
/cast [mod:alt, @player] Renewing Mist; [help, nodead] Renewing Mist; [harm, nodead] Tiger Palm; [@player] Renewing Mist

#showtooltip Soothing Mist
/cast [mod:alt, @player] Soothing Mist; [help, nodead] Soothing Mist; [harm, nodead] Blackout Kick; [@player] Soothing Mist

#showtooltip Enveloping Mist
/cast [mod:alt, @player] Enveloping Mist; [help, nodead] Enveloping Mist; [harm, nodead] Rising Sun Kick; [@player] Enveloping Mist

Higher APM: Yes but a lot of it is casting/maintaining the same few spells or buffs, or preparing ramps/setting up. Higher haste is also beneficial for us, so that contributes to more frequent casting. There is always something to do on MW.

Bloat: No. You can reduce it further depending on talents if you really wanted. ( ex: essence font was removed, you can talent out of jadefire stomp, Chi wave is a passive, etc ). It’s nowhere near as bad as shaman or druid ( w/shapeshift forms )

Complicated: Not really. The spells are pretty straightforward and the talent interactions are easy enough to understand

I deff suggest it! Even though there is more to do I find it pretty chill.
