This guide won’t necessarily have […]
Dragon meets Crane. Shadowlands Awaits. Mistweaver Monk ascends in 9.0, a new cooldown accompanying some smaller talent & spell changes. This goes a long way toward giving Mistweaver coverage in areas in which they were weak in BFA. The playstyle mostly remains the same though you’ll be better able to focus your healing into key moments in the fight. The spec also remains best or […]
