how bout some buffs for mistweavers in pvp?
monk healer has decent movement. ill be the first to say i fail to use transcendence like i should. my biggest gripe as mw heals is very little offensive. stuns galore but then what?
run away and dont cure lock dots.
When I’m in random battlegrounds and I see a healer monk playing poorly, I scold them for not using their Torpedo and Transcendence. The monk’s portal can be used in so many clever ways. Leg sweep enemies near you, use your torpedo, then transcendence and you’re out of there.
Combine their ability to move with Cocoon and Fortifying Brew. And leaving enemies behind a ring of peace.
I’d say that the person just doesn’t know how to play monk properly.
I support buffing MW, or at least re-working them to have a def CD of some sort.
Can we get mistwalk back please
Mistweaver has always been kinda squishy… It requires proper positioning, proper use of mobility and lots of instant cc. Survival I don’t think is an issue, it just plays very different.
Now if throughput is an issue, that’s a different issue. Like if you put some distance between yourself with mobility but can’t top yourself, that’s a problem.
Blizzard should just take the mist weaver from MoP and throw it into the game. If were gonna have all these op dps we need an OP healer. MoP mistweaver would be perfect in this meta.
This is how blizzard works my friend:
Pvp Community:. MW need some love!
Blizzard: nerfs rogue
This is all true… However, requires basically every one of the Monk’s CDs… Whereas if you look at Shamans, druids, preists… they hardly have to use CDs to achieve the same healing throughput as a MW monk. Shamans are probably the worst right now. Keep earth shield up, drop a totem every 30 seconds, bind Ghost wolf to something close and GGs.
It could be an issue that the meta changed to high burst and MW players just need to adapt, you may be right. I’ve seen MW’s in higher games do well.
But I wouldn’t be opposed to them getting something to curb the burst a little to bring them into a better viability so MW players don’t feel left out. (I’ve only played Resto Druid/ Holy Paladin for the record, I’m not trying to resurrect my MW or anything lol)
Doesn’t change the fact. Monk is still garbo atm.

Yeah I’m just speaking from mop-bfa as I haven’t played this expansion (other than some leveling). I can see them suffering a bit in a burst meta for sure. Then orc/human racials all the more important for them probably
MW needs help for sure but Healer survivability isn’t an issue lmao.
Which stones galore for Mistweaver do you speak of?
stuns!! i have 3 cuz panda. paralyse, leg sweep and quaking palm.
as a 50 player, and the class built to sit on heals,which healer do you find takes longer to take down?
Druids, the very fact that resto druid bear form is as optimal and strong as a guardian druid is absurd. This is because you would have multiple classes with MS on them too.
Disc priests… The worst thing in rbgs is facing a 30% verse priest in 225 gear… Don’t even bother. And usually in higher level CRS you are facing two of them. Just cc them. Druid heals drop like flies so do mws. I suppose if we ever see a druid healer just pressure them to turn into bear. Not much healing going out when they are in bear form. What’s the point. Discs have swr that’s instant cast and shields and penance damage heals… They can cast that while getting punched in the face. Plus rapture barrier pain sup… Etc… I’ve even seen some teams with three disc priests haha brutal
I dunno about that. I saw a Mistweaver heal for an insane amount. Only had 1 death too. Might just be a higher skill cap spec.
anyone doing well as mistweaver could do significantly better if they switched to another healer
