Yes the mistweaver has some good spells. It can spread hots. It has strong direct heals with the right legendary. However the mistweaver can’t survive a ret paladin and is killed before spells can reset. Rets need to be nerfed and/or MW need to be buffed.
MW just needs a huge buff. Whenever I vs a mw I get excited for a free win and that’s basically what always happens

I still remember some trolls saying MW is fine in pvp
unbelievable that bliz left them dead in the water for an entire season of 8-9 months now, since 9.1 is still 1-3 months away?
Not being able to use cocoon while stunned was such a bad change. And that’s among many other changes that have just gutted the class and spec.
I only yolo arena with pugs to cap and if I’m queueing as MW, I won’t even touch arena without a warrior

Wow MW must be really bad because i’ve seen even bad healers stand there while a ret goes to town on them and barely lose health.
Mw is getting massive survival buffs in 9.1. some people are saying it will be the number 1 heals. Here’s to hoping for ya.
Enhance shaman says hi from mid first season patch of BFA for the entire expansion. Blizzard needs a PvP dev team lol

I feel your pain. I have a MW and it’s just terrible, definitely needs a buff!
I’m more about bringing other classes up to a better level instead of nerfing down classes.
I see a Ret with wings I just do my best to run! And even then I can still get wrecked by them quickly if I’m not fast enough.
no1 can survive a ret pally =P
i legit just run, blind or vanish if i see any single one of their cds popped. this includes shield of veng =P

You know it’s gotta be something wrong when one of the most mobile healers, is obliterated by one of the least mobile DPS’ in the game
I feel bad for the mistweaver players they really got hit with the low priority stick
I guess if you are the creative Dreaner type player you can make it work
This is not even true anymore because they can just delete you with Final Verdict … from a distance !!

The buffs mistweavers are getting will be good for arena but they will still be the go to target in rbgs until blizzard decides to fix some of the core issues
This. You just have to run away. If he stuns you then you better have trinket up or you die. It’s just the way it is and it’s not a unique thing to being a mw. Just stun/ incap or whatever and get some distance and you’re fine. Pallys are slow.
Mw is fine to me

I don’t know how you figure this? They have decent throughput. Disgusting mobility. With the new talents they’re not gonna die in stuns any longer.
They might not be 9.0 Holy pally levels of insane but they’re going to be good.
Fine for BGs, but struggling in arena, IMHO. Luckily the changes that are supposed to happen in 9.1 should be correcting the arena issue.
The changes wont make them more survivable than holy priests and holy paladins, they will still be mediocre.
Still have no instant cast heals to top someone instantly like Hpal’s WoG/Holy Shock/Divine Toll and HPriest’s Serenity which is a big deal with burst damage quite high and makes them susceptible to kicks.
Also a few throughput spells like Counteract Magic and Refreshing Breeze are getting reworked but ultimately nerfed that will lower our healing throughput in BG’s in particular.
Holy pally for example got totally nerfed and are expecting even more in 9.1.
Yeah I didn’t say they would be top heals. Still though I think they will be good. Definitely better than they are now.
Mana and resources needs to make a return in PvP and meta and tools to regain those back. Maybe even add spirit to PvP gear. Current playstyle is mongo and spammy.
