Fistweaving Guide for Beginners - Mistweaver 10.0.7 WOW Dragonflight - Basics for playing Mistweaver

Everything you need to know to start Fistweaving in 2023. 10.0.7 came out recently, and a lot of people are swapping to monk. 10.0 is around the corner and I expect even more, so I thought that I would make a simple guide to Fistweaver/Mistweaver.

It's refreshing to see such a clear and simple guide! Also, do you know if getting healing embelishments are always the best? Are there some viable damage alternatives, or is that too troll? :)

Personally I just went with healing darts and don't think much about it lol. Honestly they all kinda suck so if there's one that seems fun to you then go with it!

[@hunthealthy1018]

I'm considering having my monk as my backup trifecta main to fill in tanking and I've dabbled in heading in general, never really got super into it, but I want to do Fistweaving, it seems really fun and passive. So thanks for this video! I'm hoping to really get into it and give it a go.

[@hunthealthy1018]

I did have one question, what's the range on the Essence Font? Also is Ancient Teachings good in raid? I'm assuming that the focal point for Fistweaving Monk is to heal the melee.

[@LBNinja7]

I highly recommend! I believe essence font is 30 yds. Fistweaving is the go to playstyle for raid. At the baseline you could just focus punching and kicking to do healing, and then get more advanced by weaving in renewing mists, tracking how many renewing mists you have and focusing on extending them with rising mists, then pump with vivify that will cleave on everyone with renewing mist!

[@hunthealthy1018]

@@LBNinja7 Okay excellent! I did test it out on a regular dungeon last night, my stats aren't ideal yet, but I'll get there. The build you have, is it good for both M+ and Raid?

[@LBNinja7]

@@hunthealthy1018 its only really good on cleave fights in raid, you can drop the 3 faeline talents to go secret infusion>celestial haste&mending proliferation and itll be a pretty solid raid build thats close to this one!

@@LBNinja7 okay, so you'd swap out FLS to trigger AT for Essence Font? I'm guessing that the build you're referring to is more suited for a ST fight?

[@lucidquasar]

Great video, thanks so much. Just starting out leveling a MW was wondering if you had some good stat weights to use for pawn or a good way to determine stat weights as I progress. Pretty new to the game so just learning about how best to use these addons. Thanks again.

[@LBNinja7]

absolutely! So haste is pretty good right now because it just lets you press more buttons so you make less mistakes. When you are lower level, mastery heals a lot relatively, but as you get higher item level your other heals out weigh the mastery procs, so crit is better. If you find yourself dying very easily, give yourself a little vers, but its not too good healing wise at the moment. So i would go Haste main, then mastery until you get to about 390 ilvl then start trading some mastery for crit!

[@kayla9663]

while FLS is down you get 2 stacks of teaching from each TP. you can pair this with chi-ji and make EM cost 0 mana while just using one TP while inside FLS. So FLS TP Chi-ji then BoK then repeat TP+ BoK until chi-ji expires

[@LBNinja7]

Yeah for every em to be instant in chiji

[@sirenigma886]

can you share your UI settings? looks so clean

[@BoomsTheGoblin]

It seems like you ignored that Enveloping Mist is instantly casted while channeling Soothing Mist. Casting Soothing Mist and going into Enveloping Mist is far more efficient than hard casting Enveloping Mist alone. Set up Click-Casting for Soothing Mist and transition cleanly into both and it's much faster. Additionally, casting Enveloping Mist will automatically produce a Renewing Mist, adding a renewing mist to your ticking pool of hots throughout the group you're healing. You can see an example of this at 6:30 - note Renewing Mist leaping off of the character when it's casted on yourself.

[@Luna-ii4mx]

This seems good on packs but it makes me wonder how do you deal with if you have no mobs in range or if someone in your team gets a dot or something that you need to preheal/pop defensive on them for? It seems very random heals and no controls basicly. Or if you have to run away with some ability lets say first boss in Ruby. How do you heal then

[@LBNinja7]

Same way ranged does. Fistweaver is actually much better at making sure the party always has renewing mists on them since rising sun kick applies them then extemds them, and vivify blasts cleave healing

[@Nahkriin545]

What is the addon for the mana bar etc looks really clean.
