Mistweaver Monk Raid Talents (PvE) - patch 8.0

Let's have a look at Mistweavers and their base talents for Uldir in Patch 8.0



Right now, I feel that Mistweaver is in a great spot in Mythics and Raid healing, and while the talents you choose may vary according to personal preference or situation, I feel that they all have a decent output.

General Talents for Raid.
I will just focus on raiding talents on a hole, later on, other posts I will break it down for each individual boss, and what is better to use in each of them and why.

Tier 1 (Level 15) Talents for Mistweaver Monks

Here the choice will rely on the fight itself, an all-around good choice is  Mist Wrap it provides you passive improvement to your  Enveloping Mist targets.   Chi Burst comes in if the fight if you are able to regularly use Chi Burst to hit several players clumped together.

 Chi Wave for raid scenario isn't worth it.

Tier 2 (Level 30) Talents for Mistweaver Monks

In this tier and in movement terms  Celerity has essentially no use as it is outclassed by both  Chi Torpedo and  Tiger's Lust in any given situation. My preference is Tiger's lust, for the fact that it gets you rid of roots, and adds utility to your arsenal.

Tier 3 (Level 45) Talents for Mistweaver Monks

In this tier both options highlighted are good, depends on what you want to focus, Lifecycles is a good pick if you are on tank duty, while  Spirit of the Crane will reward your dealing

damage during downtime. Both these options allow you to recover some mana, but if you are struggling you might want to consider Mana Tea.

Tier 4 (Level 60) Talents for Mistweaver Monks

In a raid environment  Ring of Peace is always the correct pick, while bosses won't be affected by 

it, adds won't be able to reach you, which allows you some free time.

 Tier 5 (Level 75) Talents for Mistweaver Monks

The choice here will depend on the type of damage you need to avoid during an encounter. If it is magic then take  Diffuse Magic, otherwise, take  Dampen Harm.

Tier 6 (Level 90) Talents for Mistweaver Monks

In  this tier your best options are  Invoke Chi-Ji, the Red Crane or go with

 Summon Jade Serpent Statue, while Invoke is a great cooldown, it has specific times to be used, and can really shine on AOE dmg times, While the statue, provides constant healing troughout the encounter, so it is a matter of if you need a cooldown go Invoke, if you need sustain go Statue.

Tier 7 (Level 100) Talents for Mistweaver Monks

 Upwelling is a good pick for raids when not "Fistweaving" as it provides an excellent efficiency gain if you are unable to cast  Essence Font on cooldown. It also makes our mastery more valuable by the nature of the extended HoT duration.

 Rising Mist is the talent that makes the "Fistweaving" build viable. It affects all of our active HoT spells, meaning not only  Renewing Mist and  Enveloping Mist but the HoT from  Essence Font as well. Rising Mist is a tool of efficiency; the heal is not enormous, but  Rising Sun Kick only costs 1.5% of your Mana, and the increased duration on your active HoTs stacks adds up quickly.

This post covers the overall talents situations for Mistweaver Monks, and my take on those options
