Monk
Mistweaver
Playstyle
A 'fistweaving' healer that generates healing partly by dealing melee damage, with talents flexible enough to lean into a tank-healing AoE build or a mobile raid-healing/DPS-hybrid build. Core loop spreads Renewing Mist across the group, manages mana via Mana Tea, and times burst windows around Invoke Yu'lon/Invoke Chi-Ji. Straightforward core kit, but real optimization needs solid mana-management judgment rather than a fixed rotation.
Exceptional personal durability and best-in-class mobility (Roll, Tiger's Lust, Transcendence) — very self-sufficient
Season 2 Tier Set
Guile of the Monkey King
Rising Sun Kick deals 30% increased damage and Rushing Wind Kick's healing is increased by 100%.
Rising Sun Kick and Rushing Wind Kick have a chance to cause their next cast to ignore their cooldown and have their mana cost reduced by 100%.
+ The Good
Exceptional personal durability and best-in-class mobility (Roll, Tiger's Lust, Transcendence) — very self-sufficient
Strong throughput from damage-to-healing conversion mechanics
− The Bad
No Bloodlust/Heroism and no battle resurrection
Less external group-wide utility than most other healers
Blending cast-time heals with melee positioning is an unfamiliar rhythm if you've never played melee before
Best single-target healing comes when standing still — that value drops off once you're forced to move

Hero talents
Channels the four August Celestials for extra healing/damage procs off Tiger Palm and Vivify, plus meaningful cooldown reduction on core spells like Thunder Focus Tea. Clearly ahead of Master of Harmony in Season 2 across healing, damage, and defense.
Banks a portion of your healing/damage into a vitality reservoir that echoes out as extra HoT effects. Consistent but outclassed by Conduit of the Celestials in nearly every current comparison, especially now that its old burst-damage niche was designed away.
