Gust of Mists; How does it work?

new to monks but im confused on how this mastery for MW works.

i hover over the actual spell it doesn’t say much besides Eveloping mists, vivify, and renewing mist procs it and grants additional X amount of heals. however both enveloping mists and renewing mists are both HoTs i believe so is it proc’d on the initial tick only or ever tick?

Also is it 100% proc and the healing scales with mastery or is the proc rate based off mastery?

I also read that soothing mist has a chance to proc it too or so it says on the tool tip i assume it’s every tick. im only lvl 17 atm but when i tried to test it out with a 47% mastery i don’t see much really it looks all the same besides possibly crits thus why im confused and i don’t even see any animation changes.

It’s just a flat heal as a bonus that’s triggered on the cast.

Target player A -> Vivify -> Player A is healed by Vivify -> Gusts of Mists procs
Target player A -> ReM -> Player A has ReM applied -> Gusts of Mists procs

Any additional effects happen afterwards as stated. The proc rate is 100% and scales off spell power (Int) and mastery but as you’ve said, It’s not the most exciting spell.

ahh ty yea i wasn’t too sure if it was 100% or what and how it really worked i assumed it worked on initial ticks only but i think it might work on every single tick right?

It only works on the initial cast of the previously mentioned abilities, unless you have a essence font hot on them then you get two gust events. IIRC soothing mist procs it at each 8 ticks. And only yours not the one your statue talent does.

It’s a weird and clunky mastery. It only procs on the >initial< cast of the ability.

To give you an idea of why we don’t typically stack mastery, it scales at 0.1% spell power.

No that isn’t a typo.

Also every tick of soothing mist has a >chance< to proc it.

I heard before that Blizzard rigged the odds so that completely channeling a Soothing Mist guarantees there at least one Gust.

It’'s a random somewhat garanteed thing. Ie, You Sooth and get Gust on the second tick all other 6 following will not proc it. The game then has you try again for the Gust proc at 1/8 ‘chance’ You may stop your channel and start a new one it does not matter.
Consider / has new channel start, 1 has proc and R has ‘chance reset’
