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

If you’re not using the Spinning Crane Kick variant, then no. It’s likely something isn’t working properly on your side. I tested every sequence in Mythic and they all worked correctly I didn’t have any HPS issues, even with the full DPS one. Which one did you use?

II) Fistweaving + Healing Over Time Build

(no Apex Talent )

Run of Heroic Windrunner Spire, posting details below.

Does this seem reasonable? Basically holding the sequence the whole run, making sure to be punching all the time high activity %, a couple life cocoons during “sketchy situations”

What abilities should I cast manually that are not included in the rotation and when?

like if I have to go out of melee range, do I spam vivify on party members, or do I channel soothing mist etc.

What situationals should I use?

Should I manually use spinning crane kick on big AoE pulls instead of doing the GSE-sequence? or is the HPS of the sequence better even on big pulls?

First time playing mistweaver and finding limited information regarding fistweaving.

Your numbers seem correct. The only thing I immediately notice is that there’s no HPS coming from your Chi-Ji


It’s our biggest healing Cd and it only has a 1 minute cooldown, so you can basically press it on Cd

Outside of the sequence, you should still use your healing cooldowns like Chi-Ji, Revival, and Life Cocoon (our external). If you’re forced out of melee which shouldn’t happen often you can use some Vivify/Sheilun’s Gift or enveloping Mist (its cast instant during our Chi-Ji windows).

Soothing Mist isn’t really necessary with this kind of build, and I personally never use it.

As for Spinning Crane Kick: if you have Dance of Chi-Ji talented, you should use it whenever you get a proc. If you don’t have that talent, only use it on 5+ targets, and it’s not mandatory. You can perfectly run the melee sequence without using Spinning Crane Kick in big pulls it’s just an optimization for certain situations.
Since you get more Rising Sun Kick resets by doing the regular melee rotation, and Rising Sun Kick is our most important spell, it has its advantages.

That’s okay regarding the information it actually made me think I could add some good external guides about the class in the main post for people who feel lost about how Mistweaver works.

Both of these links are the best guides about Mistweaver in my opinion, so feel free to check them out if you’re looking for more information.

Chi-Ji was the missing piece of the puzzle both healing and damage-wise. thanks!

Also tested the fun damage build, its crazy, owned my friend(frost mage) in duels he plays a lot of arenas and stuf, won a bunch of 1v2 pvp situations out in the world also, and a blast to do WQ’s with.

One last question, does it matter if I use 2H or 1H+OH?

Really glad to hear it fixed your issue! :slight_smile:

Haha yeah, it’s actually insane how strong it is in PvP. I’ve been crushing every H2 player I run into in world PvP even in 1v2 or 1v3 situations you can still manage to win. Just don’t forget to at least use one tick of your Crackling Jade Lightning on them to activate the PvP talent Zen Spheres.

Sadly, our damage in PvP will be nerfed on the next reset, so we should enjoy it while it lasts.

As for the weapon, it doesn’t really matter it’s mostly a cosmetic choice now. It’s just a small optimization at the start of an expansion or season to save your spark to craft the staff early and get a slight advantage, but that’s about it.

Personally, I’m going for the one-hand/off-hand combo this season just because the new warglaive lookalike from the monthly Trading Post looks so cool.

Is it worth putting a /use 13 on the macro or will it mess with the macro too much? I just got a On use haste macro thats why i was asking.

Is it the 2-minute cooldown haste trinket? I think it would be better to put it on a separate macro with Chi-Ji and take the talent that makes Chi-Ji a 2 minute cooldown instead of the 1 minute one

Something like that :

#showtooltip Invoke Chi-Ji, the Red Crane
/use Tempered Potion (or whatever the name of the new burst potion is)
/use Trinket (the name of your haste trinket)
/cast Invoke Chi-Ji, the Red Crane

So it will give you a huge burst window every 2 minutes with Chi-Ji under your haste trinket

Sorry for my dumb question, but how can u transmog the same skin on mainhand and offhand ? Mistweaver cant dual wield 1 hands, right ? :smiley: So i have a sword skin and one offhand skin from the monthly trading post. But they look different and the off hand one is way shorter :confused:

there is a warglaive looking OH as well :slight_smile: A little smaller.

It seems he has 2 big ones tho in the picture so I’m suspecting he is WW there.

Hi, I wanted to start leveling my level 80 Monk, but only in dungeons since I already have a few level 90 characters. I just want to go in as a healer. But when I try to test a macro, nothing happens except that he just keeps casting Mists of Time over and over. Am I doing something wrong?

Ensure your client is in English, that action button down is enabled and multi click is enabled within GSE

Hello! Loving your guides. I am running III) Fistweaver + Sheilun’s + HoTs build and with our patch changes coming in, would you change anything to it for the raid? I seen your update on the M+ is that for all the sequences or a certain one? I am raiding Tuesday night with the guild and they are seeing who they want for the progression raid and just wanna make sure lol.

This is insanely good !!! OMFG, Big thx :folded_hands: from all Gamers !!

Why do we put a point in Jade Infusion with build III)

it only has an effect when using soothing mist right, or does it do something else also?

Haha glad you like it, Thank you I appreciate it :slight_smile:

The sequence uses one tick of Soothing Mist to activate the statue and keep Soothing Mist running. It also applies the +6% DR buff to the targeted member

For the Fistweaver build, I won’t change anything until there are balance changes and buff to the Apex talent and it becomes a mandatory pick. Until then, I will keep running Apex less build. Personally, i will go for this one during my raid

With the AT + Hot sequence

I always do my Raid progress with that kind of playstyle, even though it’s usually not recommended for raid.

If you prefer a safer choice, since your roster will apparently decide who they keep based on the first raid, it might be better to follow the meta. Usually the Celestial / Rushing Jade Wind Kick build tends to perform better in raid, so I would recommend going with that one.

I cant find Soothing Mist in here :thinking:

Looks like I imported the wrong one. Delete it and copy paste it again

Alright, will try it out, ty. Are we supposed to touch of death manually considering this talent?

Also the soothing mist from statue will always be on me the way the sequence is built, is this intentional/optimal?
