Wenlo - The Way of the Crane: A Raid and Mythic+ Build for Midnight Mistweaver Monk

I did and works better. I use Synapse.. just out of curiosity what do you run yours at?

How do these builds/sequences compare to straight SBA?

They perform much better than Blizzard’s SBA. You don’t get the -30% penalty and the rotation is more optimized. You can also use one-button sequences for healers, which is not possibl with the Blizzard one

should wenlo_harmonie_midnight_hot only be used on 1-2 targets? i heal neglible amount compared to just spinning crane kick when its 4 targets or over. What macro do you recommend for m+? I feel like sheilun gift is necessary for m+ no?

Sheilun’s Gift isn’t really necessary at the moment since there is nothing to heal. We’ll see once M+ opens if we actually feel the need for it once we reach an certain key lvl. In the meantime, you can perfectly have fun running even the ‘bonus build’ at the end, which is a pure DPS build, and still do perfectly fine in any PvE or PvP content, this is what i do atm for my M0 tour or world pvp

hi, thx first for ur amazing work, and im new in this stuff i just did regrist here for this question,

i imported the talents and the GSE Macro exactly as posted. the macro appears correctly in GSE, but when i try to bind it on a key or drag in to an action bar, noting happens.

Sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt… like other macros.. it seems random.. Am i missing a step after importing? DO i need to enable something i GSE or create the macro in a specific way?

thx

Hi! You dont have to drag anything on the action bar, you open your gse, go to keybindings > new keybinding > select your sequence and select your keybinding there. You dont need the macro icon on your actionbars anymore. Hope it helps

thx. maybe im just to stupid for it xD i will try some how.

Make sure this is checked.

Hey there! I really appreciate your work. Great macros that encouraged me to play mw monk this expansion and it’s awesome! Just one question as I couldn’t find any version of macro to just simply do fistweaving rotation to execute rising sun kick with highest frequency (no spinning crane kick, enveloping mist, renewing mist). I would love to play wowhead conduit talents and to just help myself only with doing gse macro for fistweaving. Thank you very much in advance!

Hey, thanks for the kind words! If you only want the melee part, it will be the first sequence if you’re playing with MoH, or the last one if you’re using Celestial. The one without the apex talent. Our apex talent got an really bad design and tuning number atm and build without are just strictly better.

Hi! GSE sequence name is the same for Bonus Build and Pure Fistweaver (no Apex Talent ) so I cant import both, (pure_dps_mist), perhaps change the name of the bonus build GSE sequence?

For now, when the window pops up about a duplicate name, in the drop down menu where it says “merge” you can choose “rename new macro”, change it to whatever you want until it’s looked into.

Thanks name is changed

With the changes in the patch notes,

  • Mistweaver
    • Sheilun’s Gift healing increased by 60%.

    • Sheilun’s Gift clouds now increase its healing by 10% per stack (was 33%).

    • ( Its an Sheilun buff under 4 stack but an nerf on more than 4)

    • Jadefire Teachings now increases the transfer rate of Ancient Teachings by 260% (was 200%).

    • Way of the Crane now transfers 340% of damage onto 1 ally (was 125% onto 3 allies).

    • Jadefire Stomp damage now transfers into Ancient Teachings at 20% effectiveness.

    • Developers’ notes: Jadefire Stomp’s tooltip will be updated to reflect thisin a later patch.

    • Invigorating Mists healing increased by 30%.

our best M+ build at the moment should be something like this, at least until they make our Apex talent decent

How annoying that they keep nerfing Teachings to then revert it again.
It was 260% before last patch, then 200%, now 260 again :’)

Yeah… Blizzard doing their Blizzard thing. They love to buff something, revert it, and then do the exact same thing again and again. It’s the same with Sheilun’s Gift they’ve already buffed and nerfed it countless times before the season even starts. I just hope they bring Harmony damage back to how it was during S3 and fix our Apex talent, and we should be fine

Thank you very much for your macros and your effort. :slight_smile:

What macro would be the best for the new build u posted after the patchnotes ?

Currently im playing your II) sheiluns Serpent build. Will this still be viable or is it better to heal with crane and dmg ? I usually play fistweaver but this season i like to heal from range. I also like the visuals from the Apex talents. I hope they will be viable in high m+ :slight_smile:

Thanks, I appreciate it! :slight_smile: The most usefull sequences with this build would be:
II) Fistweaver + HoTs
III) Fistweaver + Sheilun’s + HoTs
Both with Master of Harmony to optimize our Ancient Teachings healing

In Mythic+, the meta will almost always favor the melee style since it helps your group’s damage and allows you to apply the +5% damage taken debuff on enemies. It’s also less mana-intensive and usually provides more passive healing compared to the pure caster playstyle.

But the pure caster build have bigger HPS windows and stronger burst healing, and it’s more beginner friendly since you stay at a safe distance focusing only on healing rather than healing while maintaining a DPS rotation. I know a few monks who push keys only as ranged healers, so it’s definitely viable. I also did some high keys during the beta with that playstyle.

The main issue can be mana, but feel free to try that style once the season starts and see how it works for you.

is it supposed to never use spinning crane kick? I find the hps to be lacking compared even to sba. Or am I understanding something wrong?
