Fistweaver or caster?

Just dinged 70 on this toon and gonna heal some in pvp.

I hear alot about fistweaving but I have never tried it and can’t even tell which builds are for it, is it any good?

I think my current build is caster but I’m not sure, help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Want to be a chad? Caster
Want to be hated by the community and everyone around you? Fistweaver

I don’t really care if I’m hated or not haha, I just want to enjoy myself in pvp, which is hard these days.

Is fistweaver at least fun?

For the health of the community:
No, God No, it isnt fun.

To tell you the truth:
Yes it is. Its something different. But stick to MW.

Haste build = Fistweaver
Mastery build = Casted Mistweaver

Casted mistweaver = budget resto druid, get kicked once, game is over
Fistweaver = zugzug and heal off it, if you have nobody to hit then you can’t heal and then you lose

any more questions?

Fistweaver is an abomination and the game would literally be 10x better, if Blizz perma banned everyone playing it.

That being said, caster MW is completely unviable currently, so if you want to be able to find any success, you are kinda forced into playing it.

What healer do you recommend I play if not monk?

Hey mate,

Both have strengths and weaknesses. It’s optimal to have 2 gear sets and switch to one playstyle or the other depending on the comp you’re having and the comp you’re facing.
That’s what I’ve witnessed some of the best performing mistweavers do in shuffle.

If that’s too much for you - fistweaver is for sure the more fun playstyle, but people will hate you and it’s bad for the game overall, so it’s your call in the end

GL and most of all - have fun!

play what u enjoiy since its really hard to enjoiy healing in shuffle anyway

so fistweaver is more fun shorter games and u can actually enjoiy ur self
i would never bring my self down to play any healers in shuffle except fistweaver/rdruids

i recommend u not playing shaman its the worst feeling in shuffle

but just stay away from shuffle ur healer u have the privilege to just sign up in the Tool for 2s 3s or create one urself and choose the DPS and Mate of ur liking
everybody wants you everybody needs u and its easier to learn the game

Depends on what you want to do

Resto Shaman = high skill cap / high reward / fun to play with premades / unfun to play in Shuffle on low ratings (even if you can still win) and more fun on higher shuffle ratings


Resto Druid = mid to low skill cap / high reward / boring to play ( at least for me ) / equally viable in every bracket


Preservation Evoker = highest skillcap healer / mid reward / super fun to play / about the same viability across brackets


Holy priest = mid to high skillcap healer / mid to low reward / fun to play with premades / tragically annoying to play in shuffle


Disc priest = low skill cap / low reward / boring to play (in my opinion) because you have nothing useful to win a game / viable on low ratings and struggles on mid to higher rating


Holy paladin = mid to low skill cap / high reward / relatively fun to play because you have many useful buttons, don’t cast too much, only problem is if people start tunneling to kill you or you get spam CC-ed / viable on all ratings and equally good everywhere

Take your pick

Easy/Strong but may not be fun = Hpal / Rdruid
Hard/Strong and fun = Rshaman

Rest are slightly lower in terms of viability regardless of everything else

I do enjoy heal on rsham, rdruid is kinda fun too but I’m bad at it and can’t keep anything alive haha.

Rdruid is all about learning your pve healing rotation and hugging a pillar

congratz ur 2400 now

anything above u need to clone and use cc properly and not choke die on swaps on u

Rsham needs to kick everybody, ground cc, tremor cc, static field stack people, root people, find global cooldowns coz low haste, not fail trinket link, use lasso properly, not get interrupted coz u insta lose if u get kicked, move ur totems, and change ur talents based on matchup every single game

if u play rsham like a healbot u auto lose, unless ur against a really bad healer or team, spec is all about the offensive utility
