Hero Talent Gameplay Changes

When playing Conduit of the Celestials there aren’t too many actual changes to our rotation. With Strength of the Black Ox you will be using Enveloping Mist to apply shields to your party and these are usually used whenever they proc or if you know there’s going to be damage incoming. Everything else is passive or not worth trying to minmax.

As you’ll see in the rotation page, you will also use Spinning Crane Kick for damage more as Conduit of the Celestials than Master of Harmony.

Master of Harmony has more gameplay changes and is far more complex than Conduit of the Celestials. You gain more buffs and debuffs to track, in addition to a new resource called Vitality. I highly recommend checking out this written guide for the advanced version of Master of Harmony gameplay from Swirl:

What is Master of Harmony and How Do I Use It?

When playing Master of Harmony we have some new things to track:

1. Vitality as a resource is something you'll want to track so you know when to use your Thunder Focus Tea. This cap is equal to our maximum health but is effected by things like Ancient Teachings and Fortifying Brew so it's important to track. I track it through a WeakAura which you can find on the UI page.

2. Aspect of Harmony which is the DoT applied to enemies via Rising Sun Kick, Tiger Palm , and Blackout Kick during Vitality drain.

3. Aspect of Harmony which is the HoT and heal amp applied to allies via direct heaing during Vitality drain.

Master of Harmony is capable of higher HPS for Mythic+ through Coalescence when we use our Vitality for healing. This is buffing our base Mistweaver kit instead of giving us a new cooldown like Conduit of the Celestials does.

Typically most large mechanics are covered with Enveloping Mist ramps and Aspect of Harmony with some kind of cooldown depending on which mechanic we’re covering. These Aspect of Harmony uses are on about a 30 second CD due to the buildup time of Vitality as well as the cooldown of Thunder Focus Tea . Of course you can also use Aspect of Harmony for the debuff as well, but that is solely for damage.

Below is a flow chart/cheat sheet for how to utilize our Vitality.
