Mistweaver General ideas / help before sub runs out

@JadeFire PANDA B I S

 

I am not sure why mastery shows this high and how exactly 141 mastery translate to 186% (normally would be something like 50%), maybe it's a mistweaver thing. That said, if you are looking for other stats, I get that we are talking about bgs and haste decreasing cast times is important, but given that most spells are either instants or are made instants via channels I'd really try crit first. (I mean, let's go to the most basic thing - how do you save a target that is being focused? Soothing Mist -> insta Vivify / Enveloping. Haste doesn't help you as much as crit here.)

 

I’ve been playing mw for some time now and I do not regret going for full hp and then surging mist pvp talent. No counting instant heal makes it almost necessary to go for hp to survive burst. You could try to go for a lot of int and haste aswell but then u better be a god at fooling interrupting. Haste and then verse has been good for mw forever but these days I would recommend hp > int > mastery > haste > vers. It all comes down to playstyle and who you play with tho.

oh and yeh, mw have mana issues if u wanna do any healing at all. Helm is a big must all the time.

 

Going to want haste as a secondary stat for MW my friend.

Idk about what's best, but here are some thoughts:

• Mastery is great for healing throughput, and getting a chunk instantly at the start of your HoT's is nice. Downside is that it doesn't help your damage at all if you care about that.
• Crit is unreliable and doesn't scale well in PvP. I'd avoid.
• Versatility good but kinda boring and doesn't scale that well, but the damage reduction is a nice upside.
• Haste is great, makes everything more responsive, helps healing and damage. It makes you burn through mana even faster though. Also the nature of MW healing being basically all channelled/instant means that you suffer less if you don't stack haste (especially if you DO stack mastery).

Mastery/Haste is what I'd go for for healing, Haste/Vers for a more hybrid-y approach. But I think apart from crit, everything is viable.

 

Static stats max cap at 126%. Anything over that is wasted, unless it’s coming from a non-static source (trinkets for the most part).
As most of your spells are insta or can be made insta, you’re only going to truly benefit from haste if you go hard enough to lower your GCDs.

 

Every single point of haste lowers your GCD, until you hit the GCD cap of .75s

 

126% is cap for secondaries from gear. https://www.wowhead.com/guides/diminishing-returns-on-secondary-stats-in-world-of-warcraft

 

I'm not gemmed "to the teeth" but with 205 spell power and 9.37% versatility, My Vivify is 315. With some quick maffs, I calculate that Vivify is about (1.40*SP)*(1+Vers%). Gust of Mists I believe is (Mastery%*SP)*(1+Vers%). So you should be able to calculate the tradeoff from there.

Mastery is specifically handled differently. From the article: "Note that for Mastery, we are talking about Mastery Points instead of percentages, since every class has a different conversion of Mastery Points to Mastery%. Click here to learn how Mastery works"

 

It’s still 126 mastery points from gear, if I’m understanding this article correctly. Each specialization starts with 8 mastery points. So, you can have a total of 134 mastery points for your specialization. Anything over that would be wasted points.

 

Correct. 126 Mastery points. Which would be take almost 500 Mastery rating (the stat that's on gear) at level 20 WITHOUT diminishing returns. Or to put it in the context of MW monk, the mastery cap is ~562% (idk why the article says that the MW coefficient is 1, it's 4.2 currently in game). Nobody has to worry about hitting the mastery cap anytime soon, it's a ridiculous theoretical threshold.

 

I love reading these insights.
Haste is a good idea.

Vers is the best idea. If you're dead your heals mean nothing.

Get your hp at a good level. Get the helmet. Get the vers. Gg
