New Healer: Leveling Monk

Classes Monk
1

Hello all!

I am returning to WoW after a LONG time away, and am looking to ask for some advice. So, I am wanting to get into maining a Mistweaver Monk since I enjoy it’s playstyle a lot more than the other healers. My question here is should I be concerned with learning fistweaving on my way up? I am dungeon spamming for a healing experience to better understand my abilities, and I do like the idea of fistweaving. However, due to it being reliant on lots of Haste, gear, and certain Azerite Traits, am I better off just coming back to it when I get the recommended gear setup? I already DPS while healing as it is, but since I won’t really benefit from fistweaving until I unlock Rising Mist, I’m assuming that looking into an advanced playstyle this early for me is probably not the way to go.

All in all, I’m satisfied either way. I just didn’t want to be looked down upon or seen as incompetent by not knowing how to fistweave by the time I’m level 120.

Thanks for any and all feedback!

Since the low level dungeons are pretty easy, I would definitely try to get used to the abilities fistweaving uses and focus a lot on dps while healing. If you end up not using it at max level, oh well. You should know a pull or two in if you need to heal more. One annoying thing about a lot of the old dungeons is you’ll get spell locked, silenced, stunned, etc a lot more by being in melee.
