I absolutely cannot wait for these single target buffs. I'll probably trip and fall in backwards to the PTR because I'm sooooo impatient. Great Upload!!!
Thanks LB for all the work! Your discord and videos have helped me so much! I’ve tanked since BFA and brew main in S3. This season first time healing as a main and I love MW I’ve got 2400 and I’m excited for next season! Your videos have helped me so much healing as MW!
I had my monk y as my main alt this season, but as I started really learning Mistweaver and playing it more, it has overtaken my main on weekly playtime, and M+ rating, still a few points of ilvl behind though. And I did find that many of the current single target fight pain points were very much there, so was very excited for the changes coming in 11.1, and I'm 99% sure my Mistweaver is becoming my main this time around! I still hate healing Siege of Boralus last boss though, I've been avoid pushing score on that key... xD
Came back after about 5 years away, fell in love with the idea of fistweaving and decided I would play it even if it was bad. The thought that it could be viable for higher level content makes me so happy and excited. I'm having more fun in WoW than I ever have, and I've been playing on and off since BC.
Unironically one of my favourite things about monk is that it’s so niche and not very popular. And since MWs have been on the rise since DF season 2, they’ve been a consistent sleeper hit. Which feels very monk to me. 😅 like the quiet at the mountaintop achieving enlightenment. Ahahhahaha Great video, mate. I am so excited for 2000% damage increase to CJL during damage amp phases, like 1st boss in mists, or chains boss in Neltharus. 😍
Mistweaver main since Shadowlands here. I started watching you back when you did videos in shadowlands. It was really nice to reminisce with you about how awfully shit MW back then, and how far we've come as a spec with the slow sequential buffs over the years. It was fun to be like "oh my goddd I forgot we used to do that", or "idk how I played this spec back then". I could never play this class as it was back then knowing what it has turned in to now. I honestly think we've been such a solid spec since season 3 DF when we were meta for a season. I never liked the castweaving spec that became meta for raid, BUT I'll admit that it was fun to pump out those massive HPS numbers compared to other healers. I hope to see more viable fistweaving builds for single target in the future. I also would love slightly more range on our interrupt, anddd BREZ. If we could get those, I would be a super happy camper. Happy mistweaving! P.S. fuck essence font. I only ever tapped it to get the buff on everyone to increase Chi-Ji's gusts of mists healing. Felt awful to take 6 full seconds to build all of my ancient teaching's stacks, tap essence font, then cancel the channel to roll in to chi-ji. Never liked the spell
Disc Priest / Resto Shaman are still the Meta for S2. That isn't going to change until they either nerf disc into oblivion or add some crazy big dmg buffs to mistweaver to make it viable.
Hey! Thanks for the good vibe content mate! I'm interested on your opinion about 11.1 possibilities for M+ caster style alternative play, as for now fistweave is so much ahead, that casting style is pretty much gimping the key run. Cheers.
I don't think it's going away at all as you still have all of the great things added in DF/TWW so far, however it still just doesn't fit the content as well as the current build that brings more damage, more healing (even now in single target scenarios), and better positioning to hit our cc
Remember when we all thought Mist/Fistweaver couldnt get any better than Dragonflight Season 3? Here we are reaching a new peak in TWW Season 2 Ty for the guides! MONK 4 LIFE
There is only one S-tier play style, and that is fist weaver. No idea what the "3rd" play style that you claim there is, but caster monk is not remotely viable in M+, and don't get me wrong I wish it were, it's my preferred play style.
Their are so many one talent tweeks that shake up the build in interesting ways! I don't think anyone was claiming they're all at the same level lol, but you can kick back and play some wildly different builds without having to change characters and that is so cool!
Tried some MW back in BFA, played WW in last season of Dragonflight, and I'm currently playing MW as an alt with some idea of pushing M+ with it in S2. It's such a pleasant spec, such a pleasant class to play. On an unrelated note, what unit frames are You using for healing?
Such a satisfying and relaxing class that can deal with the stressful healing world! I use Cell for my frames and love it! My profile is in the my-ui channel in my discord!
Only thing i disagree is the Zen Pulse change. I enjoyed the dmg part and it felt like the borrowed power from the tower of Thorghast called: Corrosive Dosage, that dealt dmg whenever you healed someone with renewing mist. Kinda wish they would allow us to play it as an option instead of going only melee. Overall the monk particulary Mistweaver is coming into the best state in a loooong time and ive played him since Pandaria every expansion to 3k+ io
Man I loved me some corrosive dosage, let me tell you lol! I do see your point, but to me it felt more like a chore having to set it up every 30 seconds with envm for it to do any damage at all, when nowadays they're able to buff our other rotational damage spells so we don't have to interrupt our rotation to do any damage at all.
i love monk - but it feels like rly have (situational) bad cds all having the same issue low / single target count makes chi-ji and crackling jade rly rly bad on the other hand- if you can cleave - daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang im exited for the upcoming changes
I feel like the 2000% change to single target coming soon may be a tad too much for pvp, especially 3's. It will literally be like fearing Emperor Palpatine slingin his bolts till he's soggy in the face!
@@LBNinja7 Yep, if something is broken for pvp, fix it there plz and let me reign lightning upon my foes. Went from holy pally all my life to getting the deserved thundernerf in S3 DF. MW ever since and the only thing I miss is my ignore mechanics button.
we are all entitled to our own opinions, but for me, MW wont be good until they bring essence font back. class last so much of its fun when essence font left,
Yea Devs are listening to community and making steps for better player experience......took them nearly 4 YEARS since Shadowturd. This shouldn't be considered as achievement. Its sad and only shows how benevolent wow players are. Shame on Devs for their shit work for so many years. Its more than about time, to make changes and making good decisions. They should beg for redemption.
I honestly disagree because you have to look at the position they were put in. The company was going through so many layoffs and Covid at that time, and I could imagine that the higher ups were putting a ton of pressure on Devs focusing more efforts on the popular specs. So I really don't think it had anything to do with their ability to develop the spec that they also love like we do, it has more to do with the fact that they likely weren't able to devote the time they wanted to to it.
@@LBNinja7 I know, that single developer is a small cog in huge machinery. But this game is generating so much money each month and they has very often deliberatly waited to announce some much needed changes. Its their job, it has always been. Not my or any of player problem that they started listening to community after nearly 20 years. Since beginning it was: here is your game, deal with it. But since beginning it was community game and that's what took them so long to see and accept.
What a journey. So much insight in this video. Thank you for sharing!!

That is so great to hear! I hope you stick with it and continue to grow and enjoy mistweaver!
did KSM on both shammy and monk and then got bored with the crest farm, now it feels like a time to go back and play MW monk only for S2!
Dust it off!!!

I main mistweaver, and I find it insane that in the same spec there is 3 or more playstyle
but all 3 are good? can u link me a non melee/dps one?

@@LBNinja7 Ye, the setup part is annoying indeed, but it was a nice addition to spellcasting mistweaver :P
i love monk - but it feels like rly have (situational) bad cds all having the same issue
low / single target count makes chi-ji and crackling jade rly rly bad
on the other hand- if you can cleave - daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang
im exited for the upcoming changes
I feel like the 2000% change to single target coming soon may be a tad too much for pvp, especially 3's. It will literally be like fearing Emperor Palpatine slingin his bolts till he's soggy in the face!
they prob nerf it specifically for pvp, like for pvp cjl only hit targets rn iirc
Man i didn't even think about this in PVP. I hope they split up the balancing of this for PVE and PVP though so both can find the sweet spot!
@@LBNinja7 Yep, if something is broken for pvp, fix it there plz and let me reign lightning upon my foes. Went from holy pally all my life to getting the deserved thundernerf in S3 DF. MW ever since and the only thing I miss is my ignore mechanics button.
Mists or Fists? Atm i play as fistswever in M+ It is the most Fun healer inever play
Evertime is good time to Play Monk 😅
It's just a shame that m+ is so horrible this xpac.
we are all entitled to our own opinions, but for me, MW wont be good until they bring essence font back. class last so much of its fun when essence font left,
Definitely an iconic spell, but I've been surprised at how Mistweaver has found its footing without it and I honestly haven't missed it much!
