Talents

Below are my recommended talent builds for Mythic+. They all utilize the Jadefire Stomp nodes as well as Sheilun's Gift, Jadefire Teachings, and Chi-ji, the Red Crane with Gift of the Celestials. There could be situations that arise where you would stray from these key talents but it’s extremely uncommon and generally not recommended.

Talents

Conduit of the Celestials (Beginner Build)

This build is what I would recommend if you’re new to Mistweaver. It focuses on healing as a priority while still benefitting from the damage to healing conversions that carry our maintenance healing and bolster our cooldowns. There are a few talents swapped to help with random damage vs. one shot mechanics that you’ll see in the recommended Master of Harmony build.

Master of Harmony (Recommended Build)

This build is what I would recommend if you’re more familiar with the spec and are looking to play more competitively. It focuses on damage and survivability while still being more than capable of heal checks present in higher keys.

Main Talent Swaps

Class Tree

Our class tree is mostly utility so it has a lot of variance. The most frequently swapped nodes are Pressure Points and Improved Detox.

Pressure Points is our soothe and only needs to be taken in dungeons that have Enrage effects, otherwise the point can go somewhere else.

For Improved Detox, there are only a handful of Disease and Poison debuffs in the dungeons so if they are not present, the point can go elsewhere.

Crashing Momentum can be used for dungeons that have mobs that run away in fear or have a lot of kiting required. You may also want to use Crashing Momentum when there are ads that need CC'd to prevent or delay certain boss mechanics that require small ads to be killed before they reach a physical threshold.

Spec Tree

Our spec tree varies very little, but there are a few points that tend to change per player: Secret Infusion , Healing Elixir , Shaohao’s Lessons vs Veil of Pride, and Jade Bond vs Gift of the Celestials.

Jade Bond vs. Gift of the Celestials

Jade Bond versus Gift of the Celestials depends on the dungeon you're doing and the damage intake and timers. Typically Gift of the Celestials is default and what I play most of the time, I also recommend Gift of the Celestials to everyone looking to learn Mistweaver. Jade Bond is taken specifically when there are large healing requirements that you cannot heal through with Gift of the Celestials in addition your other CDs AND you can heal the rest of the instance with the longer Chi-ji, the Red Crane cooldown timer. This very rarely happens but it can occasionally show up in a dungeon pool.

Shaohao’s Lessons vs. Veil of Pride

Shaohao’s Lessons versus Veil of Pride mainly comes down to personal preference but the dungeon pool can influence this choice some. Shaohao’s Lessons cycle through buffs that will increase throughput and damage depending on which buff you roll but all of them are positive in some way. Veil of Pride only increases your healing throughput but this is what I recommend for players who are newer to Mistweaver as it provides a little bit more protection from random damage and additional healing outside of other CDs.

Secret Infusion can be taken to survive one-shot mechanics in higher keys.

Healing Elixir helps with self survivability and allieviates some of the triage required by mostly removing yourself from the situation. It doesn't prevent one shots but if you are not at a key level that one shots are a concern, then Healing Elixir will do quite a bit of your self healing over the whole dungeon

If self survivability is not a worry for you, then take Mist Wrap over Healing Elixir.
