Please Fix Mistweavers

Monk is about balance. You must center your chi. That means mana is used more I guess?

Mistweaver also unplayable in PvP.

It is. I use it for every Raid fight except for Sludgefist. The throughput is solid because you have the mana to use RJW on cool down for the most part and the HoT extension from Rising Mists.

I don’t disagree with you
but it’s funny hearing it come from a Shaman.

If anything MW will receive reduced mana costs BUT it will come at a cost of throughput. Will be meh. I’d rather keep what we have.

With how insanely stressful healing is this expansion youre saying a healing class should get a nerf? Are you insane? Buff everything else to be as good as rsham, yes. Nerf any healer right now? Big no.

For PvP random BGs, they seem to be a good spec. They are really hard to kill and have lots of mobility.

Not even top 3 anymore in content that matters.

Fix mana issues
Improve damage
Support for PvP
Raid utility boost would also be nice

Thanks!

do we have the ability to put a healing leash on our tank, and follow-along slowly healing them like back in legion again? y’know, where pretty-much all our other abilities just boosted how strong the healing is? no? dang.


i miss legion mw monk


I love mw class fantasy and the spell effects. The green mist is so pretty. I also love being a healer that has to dps. Its a cool challenge. Just fix our mana costs. My main is a disc healer and the ease with which I can keep people alive as a priest vs. a mw is insane. Its just needlessly harder for mw.

I also know many people in my guild and otherwise that straight up have told me they don’t want a mw in their mythic +. Which sucks bc while we suffer from high mana costs I don’t think we’re THAT bad in + but we have a tougher time bouncing back than r shammies rn which are way overtuned. People don’t want to run the risk during the playtime they have. Its a crummy situation.

I got completely ignored when joining a guild RBG group, the lead commented are mw even good in rbgs.

Was sitting in voice chat and the invites went out, I realised they had replaced me with a priest or hpal and started to queue without me.

Felt really crappy even though I can pull decent numbers and have literally doubled the healing of other healers before :(.

Please blizz do something about mw. Makes it pretty bad to play the game when people think so poorly of mw.

From my recollection, mana has always been an issue for MW. I love it, its my favorite healer and fun to play but the mana situation sucks. Now matter how careful I am, how I use the Teas and try and manage my spells, I frequently have to sit and drink and I rarely see other healers doing the same.

I remember back in BfA going on lower level M+ as heals with my guildies- I coped just fine with healing the party but the mana situation slowed us down as I had to call oom a number of times, and drink.

I’ve always found it difficult to understand why one class has so much problem with mana while others (like resto druid), the mana bar may as well not even be there.

I feel like it all stems from when they reworked mana tea. In MoP for example if you could essentially go from no mana to close to full in a few seconds.

NGL, that seems pretty busted, so it probably deserved to be changed. It’s one thing when arcane mage does it, DPS specs aren’t supposed to run out of resource for the rest of the fight anyway. (No one wants to bring back wanding.) But the danger of going OOM and staying OOM is supposed to be a thing for all healers to think about before spamming their expensive spells, the problem is just that right now it’s much more of a danger for some than others.

But if MW’s other mana costs had been balanced around having a near-Evocation level mana CD
 then those mana costs needed to be changed too!

Yeah, I do think reverting Mana Tea to what it was in MoP and WoD would solve a lot of this. Creating Mana Tea charges through performing actions, and Mana Tea restoring Mana would help a ton.

It would bring back some of MW’s lost flavor too.

Did you seriously just claim that Mistweaver logs on Mythic Stone Legion are some kind of proof of anything? Did you even look at the sample size - only 7 Mistweavers have killed that boss - compared to 230 - 470 of the 3 meta healers, so you’re just looking at useless data/noise and a tiny sample size. It shows why you can’t even complete a +10.

Castle Nathria is not the only content that matters, though. Many people play the game for M+ nowadays, as well, which is where MW are really lacking compared to others.

The game isn’t balanced around M+. At all.

Classes are balanced in PvP 3s (for PvP) and M Raiding (for PvE).

Reroll. It’ll be faster than waiting for Blizz to balance the least played class in the game around a game mode they don’t balance against.

Okay, but the problem I have with this is not everyone wants to “Reroll”. I have played/mained this character since MoP, through the ups & downs (before M+ was even a part of the game
)

Also, with that logic, it can be argued that Mistweavers are broken in both of those other portions of the game as well. I would say they are best in their current state in PVP, but always have been due to their mobility as a healer.

But in Castle Nathria, we aren’t faring much better than in the M+ route. Something’s gotta give.
