Title says it all. It totally ruins the talent for me … i have such ideas on how to optimize for this talent, but this really just dusts my doillies. Please change it, it genuinely does seem like an oversight on the Enveloping Mist ability to not include it.
I just want it to be baseline again and replace the talent.

I already have too many buttons on my bars which nearly all of them are monk specific and I use when playing not to mention that would just be a raw increase in power in the MW kit which means something would have to be weakened as a trade off
The “too many Buttons” meme is a poor argument for making things baseline IMO. We almost never use Soothing currently so I dont see the power creep issue either.

Considering this is Blizzard’s explicit argument for ability pruning, I’d say it’s a fair argument depending on why it’s adding too many.
I’d probably agree that JSS wouldn’t really add too much, though I’d take it as far as saying JSS would be a mostly dead ability anyway.
I’d just make JSS smart and always heal the low hp target with renewing mist. That’s way cooler and would be a hps buff too it because it wouldn’t just over heal after you top someone off with sm.

They removed smart heals from the game for a reason
They are very much hit button and don't think which isn’t the direction of healing they wanted
There are tons of heals in the game that pick a target for you.
most are considered ‘semi-smart’ heals, where they don’t differentiate the health percentages between possible targets besides if the target is at full health.
I think the issue here is terminology
When I say/read smart heal I’m referring to a heal that targets the lowest hp play, there are currently only 3 of those in the game right now, chain heal, wild growth, and power word radiance
Most non targeted heals are either dictated by something else Like Renewing Mist for Vivify OR are SEMI-smart heals which means they just heal ANYONE who is hurt not the lowest hp target per say. These SEMI-smart heals can also have additional rules like the ones Essence Font has.
Which SEMI-smart heals still produce a level of I need to make a judgment call "Direct heal this low hp person or yolo pray that my aoe heal hits them"
Some (basically all) Semi-smart heals in MW’s toolkit
- Refreshing Jade Wind
- Renewing Mist Jumps
- Essence Font
- Ancient Teachings of the Monastery
- Chi Wave
- Chi-ji Gust of Mist
- Enveloping Breath
- Weapons of Order Burst healing
- Fallen Order Target selection
- Faeline Stomp
- Yu’lon’s Whisper
- Soothing Breath
There are currently no Smart heals in the mistweaver toolkit

Healing in ESO is mostly smart heals and AoE with a few targetted abilities here and there, and it feels fantastic.
The feeling of gradually spreading Renewing Mist and empowering it with Uplift felt great and took plenty of thinking skills. Maybe it was too complex for some people, but I’d really like to go back to it.
