Mistweaver Monk Stat Priority

Caster Mistweaver + RWK: Versatility > Mastery > Haste > Critical Strike
Fistweaver + Jadefire Stomp: Versatility > Haste > Mastery > Critical Strike

Versatility will be our most important stat. You want to focus on getting as much of it as you can, up to at least 25%. This will happen automatically through PvP gearing, as most of the items you will end up using will have Versatility on them.

Beyond this stat, we advise grabbing the most amount of Mastery you can get your hands on if you prefer our casting playstyle, although you may want to leave in some room for Haste while gearing. This is more generally preferred for most players, especially in a bracket like Solo Shuffle where games can close out unexpectedly and fast. However, in a 2v2 setting, we have noticed some representation in our iconic Fistweaver playstyle, which places Mastery down slightly in our stat priority for how we gear our character.

If you aren’t sure about how Mastery works, This increases your healing throughput and is applied immediately after successfully casting a majority of your core healing spells.

Followed by Mastery, we have Haste. Having a decent amount of this stat makes our globals feel fluid, as it reduces the global cooldown and increases the number of ticks we receive out of our periodic HoT effects. As for our Fistweaver build, in an ideal world we recommend having more of this stat than Haste. This reduces our Rising Sun Kick cooldown, which is great when Rushing Wind Kick is selected, and allows us to throw out more physical attacks to make our healing stronger. Not to mention, the more abilities we use, we can reset our Jadefire Stomp more often. This tremendously helps out with our damage and healing output.

Critical Strike provides us with the least amount of benefits to our toolkit, therefore making it avoided at all costs.

Trinkets

Trinket 1: Forged Gladiator’s Insignia of Alacrity
Trinket 2: Forged Gladiator’s Medallion

When it comes to trinkets, the offensive option is the Forged Gladiator’s Insignia of Alacrity. This provides us with a static boost to our Haste, which helps with our current stat priority, and grants us a considerable boost to our primary stat in order to enhance our sustain healing.

You will then need a Forged Gladiator’s Medallion to break out of CC every 1 minute and 30 seconds.

If you find yourself struggling with survivability and become a potential kill target against certain teams, you can substitute in Forged Gladiator’s Emblem instead of Forged Gladiator’s Insignia of Alacrity. This temporarily increases your health and can be combined with cooldowns that scale based on your current HP to receive higher value out of it, such as Fortifying Brew.

Best Mistweaver Monk Gems

Core Gems: Cognitive Bloodstone + Versatile Onyx
Alternative Gems: Quick Onyx

In The War Within, you will use a Vicious Jeweler’s Setting to add sockets to your Helmet, Neck, Bracers, Belt and Rings. Two sockets can be added to the Neck and Rings.

For your new unique PvP-specific gem, we highly recommend the Cognitive Bloodstone, reacting similar to our Precognition embellishment from Dragonflight.

For all gem slots, we will use either Versatile Onyx or Quick Onyx, depending on your preference. Both will provide us with a hefty amount of Mastery, greatly supporting our healing throughput. For more consistent throughput, you can pick up Versatile Onyx, otherwise use Quick Onyx for the most optimal throughput at the expense of losing out on a bit of your survivability.
