Introduction

 

 

[spoiler=Introduction]

 

Hi, I'm Max, Maxuhmilli, Mintyx, Mendi or whoever you want to call me. I LIKE CLEAVES. I have been playing MW since its release and have had crazy adventures with the class. In the start of MoP (Season 12), I was a massive noob. I know, hard to imagine. I achieved a MAX rating of 2k as rogue and was very proud of myself. I then spent my hard earned money and boosted a monk at the start of Season 13, this is where to fun starts. I started slowly learning the class just as everyone else would with a new edition to WoW where I reached my FIRST 2.2 Achievement ever (2.3xp at this point)! MW was probably one of the worse healers in that current patch due to the lack of class knowledge, or simply HPS. Season 14 was like a new beginning for monks as people realized the REAL use for the Healing Sphere spell. With the discovery of the actual use for this spell, monks started appearing more frequently on both US and EU ladders. Towards the end of S14 I achieved my 2.4 Achievement and earned my first Gladiator title.

 

Season 15!

 

This was where most MW Monks started to shine. Being the highest HPS in the game, monks were incredibly good at playing with and against melee cleaves. Season 15 was one of the longest seasons in WoW. At the start of S15 I was the highest Fury turbo in the world (YES FURY). We were approximately 2500+ CR and slaying the noobs. Later on in the season as my reputation started to grow, I met some amazing people/players. I discovered the comp Beast cleave and achieved my highest rating of EXACTLY 3000cr and having 2 monks above 2900cr (3.1 MMR). MW Monks have many counters, making it a pure sniping class. Facing a mage as any other comp than Beast cleave, will almost certainly result in a horrific experience for the Monk

 

 

(No matter how good we play).

The Mistweaver Monk Class

 

 

[spoiler=Overview]As mentioned earlier, MW Monks are great with and against melee cleaves. This is due to their instant healing, instant CC, and short cooldown defensive abilities for team mates with LIFE COCOON RING OF PEACE PARALYSIS.

 

Advantages:

 

Instant High HPS

Good Mobility

Immortal

 

 

 

 

Disadvantages:

 

Few viable comps (Relies on shamans)

Extremely susceptible to CC due to Soothing Mist GCD

Falls back on Mana Tea globals when Sphering

Little to NO CC depending on comp (could also be a advantage :?)

 

 

 

 

Talent choices/Glyphs

 

[spoiler=Talent choices/Glyphs]

Level 15 Tier:

 

I mainly choose the tiger's lust talent. This is because it is a free root dispel. Example: If I'm playing TSG vs a Mage team, and the mage decides to poly my warrior out of a nova, I can tiger's lust to help him either connect, or kick the mage. If the kick fails, I still have a dispel available for the poly.

 

The only other viable choice is Celerity in combination with the level 90 talent tier Chi Torpedo. I usually play this combination against WW monks in 2s, making myself extremely slippery. The basic strat is; Roll his roll. In other words, when the monk rolls to you, you roll away. You then have an extra Roll in order to close gaps for kicks or his Flying serpent kick.

 

Level 30 Tier:

 

Chi wave, Chi wave, Chi wave, NEVER anything else. Simply too high on healing output as well as a boost in damage. Works well in combination with the http://db.pandawow.me/?spell=115070 Passive, AKA Eminence.

 

Level 45 Tier:

 

Chi Brew, Chi Brew, Chi Brew, Grants 2 chi and Mana Tea charges, why would you play anything else? Very when falling behind on Enveloping mist casts with regards to Chi.

 

Level 60 Tier:

 

All talents in this tier are viable depending on comp/playstyle.

 

Ring of peace: The go-to spell when healing Melee cleaves. Also a great defensive ability vs Melee cleaves.

Charging Ox Wave: Very good if used well. Primarily used when playing defensive comps such as LSM.

Leg Sweep: Good in comps that lack stuns like Beast Cleave! Or in 2s with a DK who plays with Silence.

 

Level 75 Tier:

 

Only Viable options for PVP:

 

Healing Elixirs: Great when playing vs Melee Cleaves, or basically anything that isn't a caster.

 

Diffuse Magic: Extremely under rated and EXTREMELY good/important. Play this vs EVERY Wizard Cleave or Anything that has a Wizard in it (even Warrior Mage). LSD is unhealable without this talent, acts as a 2 free dispels. Dispel DoT's off self and 90% less damage on dispel for partners (DOES NOT WORK ON PANDAWOW).

 

Level 90 Tier:

 

Only Viable options for PVP:

 

Invoke Xuen, the White Tiger: I play this 99% of the time in both 2s/3s. It is a simple 15k HPS boost with regards to http://db.pandawow.me/?spell=115070.

 

Chi Torpedo: As mentioned before, It is good in combination with the Celerity talent (Tier 15).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reforging, Gearing and Gems

 

[spoiler=Reforging, Gearing and Gems]

Just in case you don't know, Intellect is MW's Main stat. This is then followed by Crit, Spirit, Mastery, Haste. IN THIS ORDER.

 

Reforging:

 

Everything to Crit/spirit. EXAMPLE. If you have a crit mastery piece, reforge the mastery into spirit.

 

Gems:

 

Meta: Destructive Primal Diamon

or Reflect Gem

 

Red: Potent Vermillon Onyx (Intellect + Crit)

 

Yellow: Smooth Sun's Radiance (Crit)

 

Blue: Misty Wild Jade (Spirit + Crit)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Races

 

[spoiler=Races]

:horde:

:undead2: or :ork1:

 

:alliance:

:nightelf2:

 

More crit and better racials, HUMAN IS BAD, more HPS is useless for a class with the highest HPS already.

Horde is generally the better option for MW Monks

 

 

 

Tips and Tricks

 

[spoiler=Tips and Tricks]Port Placement:

 

Remember to constantly replace your port. Make sure you can always port incase you get swapped on or find yourself about to be feared/Polied or any type of Crowd Control

 

Aura Mastery:

 

This is the first global I use when coming out of CC vs classes that have blanket CS's (Mage, Spriest, Warlock). Most Mages or even Spriests will use their blanket silences when you trinket 99% of the time (If its off CD). Using your Thunder Focus Tea QUICKLY could save you!

 

Provoke:

 

Probably the most underused spell in the game. You can taunt Mage/Hunter/X pets to break Poly/Trap/Wyvern/Scatter or even Blind vs RMP's while shadowfiend is up! It's easy to do and there's not reason to not be doing it. Use this macro: /cast [@arenapet1/2/3] Provoke

 

Chi Brew:

 

Chi Brew is extremely good due to its Chi granting effect. A lot of times I find myself Chi starved and wanting to cast a Enveloping Mist. The basic rotation for this is Renewing Mist -> Chi Brew -> Enveloping Mist.

 

Pre-Hotting:

 

Effective use of Enveloping Mist can save you and your partners some defensive CD's. Using Enveloping Mist when anticipating CC's is almost like putting a Cenarion Ward on your partner. Enveloping Mist and Cenarion Ward are the biggest hots in the game.

 

Mana Tea:

 

Avoid getting to 20 stacks of Mana Tea as much as possible. Don't let this interfere with your gameplay. Capping Mana Tea is seen as a waste of Mana and is simply unbeneficial.

 

 

 

 

Comps

 

[spoiler=Comps]

Final Notes

 

[spoiler=Final Notes]MW Gameplay heavily depends on partners and work best with Shamans due to their babysitting capabilities with range kicks, Grounding Totem as well as Tremor Totem. The general go-to strat for MW is sit back, relax, avoid cc and try your hardest to help your team mates with the minimal amounts of support you can give. (incapping off target, ringing pets etc.)

Гайд полный мусор, как и напарники в большинстве случаев. Играть монком можно только с воином, все остальное просто не захилите. Если вар мудило то вы скорее испортите мышку кликая под него, чем этот идиот наступит на сферы. Итог = использовать бот. Без бота лучше играть другим хилером, так как на протяжении всех времен существования проекта 90% сильных монков используют софт. Камни энчанты таланты и другое = совершенно ничего не значит если вы сферами не попадаете под напарника.
