Talents, Stat Priorities, Additional Spells, and Further gameplay tips will be talked about in the full class guide I make once Dragonflight launches. The beginners guide is aimed towards players just picking up the class for the first time.

[@Afinityz63]

You are a saint for making these videos. Great job with them. I like the way you talk slowly and give pauses between your actions on the screen and explanations of the spells. I hope your videos blow up.

[@Moarcookiezlive]

Thank you so much. I'm glad you are happy with the presentation method. I look forward to provide quality content for dragonflight

[@midnyte_tv]

This, quite frankly, is one of the BEST beginner guides for any spec I've ever seen. You've really helped me understand the basics of MW. TYVM!

[@Moarcookiezlive]

Thank you. Glad the format is working!

[@sharonwilliams6593]

Agreed

[@bryancheaney3821]

Agreed

[@TheCompanion42]

You got me into Holy Priest and now trying out Mistweaver for my first time. Your guides are the clearest out there and should be the standard for helping newer players like myself.

[@Twiggy-yj7bz]

Finally someone who just gives the beginning stuff to get me going. Thanks!

[@Moarcookiezlive]

I plan to update these for every new expansion too :]

[@Skev_]

Was digging around for a refresher and found this. Love your pace and the visual aids and really getting to the core of the base spec.

[@Kralnor]

This is one of the best beginner guides I've seen. Clear and concise without information overload. Great job!

[@Cod3oz]

Watched a load of videos on this and this is the only one I could follow, awesome job, got yourself another subscriber 👌

[@Moarcookiezlive]

Thank you! These will all get updates soon for the new expansion when we are closer to a release date!

[@belindagreen8267]

I'm brand new to the Mistweaver monk. This video was SO helpful !! Thank you so much !

[@Gorre022]

Dude you are a GOD SEND! This is truly the best and easiest beginners guide to understanding this spec! Thank you soooo much 💙🤓

[@XaverisGaming]

Perfect guide, was able to understand all the combinations without all the talents in the tree described and most guides have little actual situational examples simply explained. Thank you senpai

[@idesofjune]

Great videos for all the healers, been watching all of them to decide what healer to play for Dragonflight. Looking forward to Holy and Discipline!

[@Moarcookiezlive]

Holy just came out alongside this and Discipline will be out by tomorrow! Thank you for watching :)

[@steffenvestergaard2075]

Thank you for the video. Saw it and got right into MW! Really basic guide. Thank you!

[@Brian_irl]

Great video Cookie! I like it when content creators put out fundamentals videos; as a veteran I know that it’s the fundamentals that saves lives in the real world. This just speaks to me. I’ll be looking forward to your deeper dives.

[@Moarcookiezlive]

Thank you so much and thank you for your service!

[@Brian_irl]

@@Moarcookiezlive it was my genuine pleasure to serve. Thank you.

[@PeterTeehan]

Thank you for the guide - finally getting around to my mistweaver and am extremely rusty playing right now in dragonflight 10.0.7

[@booradley6832]

I really appreciate your videos. Informative content and you dont plaster your face over every video for no god damn reason.

[@samurizzy]

Right to the damn point. Excellent work here.

[@MackManther]

you helped me so much! liked and subbed dude....great guide

[@d.b.4535]

Great Tutorial 🙏

[@conceptKitty]

Thanks a lot! I'm trying out Monk and l had no idea l had to hard cast vivify.

[@nogylopp]

Love your videos man. Watching you back in previous shadowlands seasons made me want to get more serious about KZbin healer content so thank you :) Also what’s your favorite cookie?

[@Moarcookiezlive]

Funny enough I'm actually not a big cookie person, but a soft Chocolate Chip is the best

[@Astolotl]

top tier guide

[@nenus4585]

Really cool video, helped a lot! It'd be cool if you did another "way to play" video, showing the most effective talent trees, how to play with them and new cooldowns usage that you get from there. I hope people find your guides

[@Moarcookiezlive]

Yep I plan to do exactly this either during prepatch or early on into the launch of dragonflight

[@f.w.5928]

Just watched it to maybe see changes, i love the monk. First season of lasst addon did all m+15 with him and my warrior tank friend. We was a great Team

[@dlear85]

I havnt really played much since cataclysm so learning to heal in df is like a new game. I watch this great guide and makes sense but trying to do it all in a group gets me so flustered and panicked lol

[@Legomoe]

The sitting Tauren with subscribe me pls sold me xD

[@Moarcookiezlive]

hehe :)

[@phonepolice]

Understanding this is a bare bones basics intro, I know most of the healing kit is not covered, but I think folks should note that “ranged” mistweaver would be like a discipline priest not healing through atonement. Technically a possibility but generally a bad idea unless you’re roleplaying or something.

[@Moarcookiezlive]

Depending on tuning ranged mistweaver builds have been popular in the past, and with the talents providing us with ranged options, I say it might go either way since things may change and I want these beginners guides to stay relevant for the entire expansion.

[@jontaii152]

Yeah melee healing is the way to go. It’s the way the class is meant to be played. Ranged healing on mw is just less effective

[@gamer8622]

Melee healing is fucking stupid. If I wanted to play melee I'd dps. Ranged healing is only less effective cuz blizz is dumb af and puts too much emphasis on dps break points for bosses

[@phonepolice]

@@gamer8622 you’ve got two priest specs, druid, shaman, and evoker if you want to perform well and be at range. Paladin and monk don’t need to be glued to the boss but they do best in melee. If you want to play ranged play one of those.

[@jontaii152]

@@gamer8622 that’s your opinion, sorry you don’t like the play style that’s why there’s caster healers

[@keifer7]

Cheers

[@davidpitts3236]

Is dmg really important? I feel like dmg won’t really matter in raids and dungeons. but I’m a monk noob looking to play MW. It’s not necessarily dmg to heal like disc priest?

[@Moarcookiezlive]

This depends on if you are taking teachings of the monastery. If so, dealing damage is part of your rotation. So it will change from patch to patch but if you don't like the idea of using damage buttons as filler, I'd recommend a different healer where it's not a core part of your healing. It's not as impactful as discipline priest but it can be a part of your rotation again depending on talents

[@giancarlomaturan1591]

That party frame sir what how did you do it like that? Sorry noob question

[@Moarcookiezlive]

Its actually just bugged from the prepatch. But its with the addon Elvui. You can make it look like that just by disabling names on the party frames (which the prepatch decided to do for me xD)

[@Matt-ri3ce]

how do i get my party members on that list in the middle of your screen so i can heal easier

[@Moarcookiezlive]

Thats with a unitframe addon like elvui

[@Karnalsyn]

Soothing mist is just trash unless you want an instant EM? Even with Jade statue?

[@Moarcookiezlive]

With jade statue you will want to use it to keep the jade statue healing players. For the most part, think of soothing mist as something to press when you are going to spot heal a player for more than 2 vivifys are worth.

[@CloudyZX4]

What is the best race to use?

[@Moarcookiezlive]

Pick your favorite. There is no real advantage to specific races besides very niche things in content like mythic+. If you really insist on me providing a more specific answer, I would say Pandaren or Blood Elf

[@DaRkSuRaaaa]

You say MW can also be ranged but how viable is that?

[@Moarcookiezlive]

It is entirely dependant on tuning. Currently there is a ranged build floating around for mythic+ but otherwise it's a pretty Melee dependant class at the moment

[@brettmurphy2917]

Just so you know, Subscribeplz Tauren worked. Grats.
