It has become insanely difficult for a solo mistweaver to get into m+ groups. Since were at the bottom of the tierlist people really prefer to wait for priests etc instead of just taking a mistweaver? can we get bloodlust or something i think mystic touch is too situationell for the groupfinder and you would really think that blizzard would care about every healing spec
<2am I really find myself playing with french noobs, and low geared alts instead of the player of my skilllevel/itemlevel which is sad for a mmorpg
Are you referring to the current time, like the struggle is happening in these days? if yes then it’s simply most people that are still playing are just killing time with Alts.
Generally, I don’t see the Monk struggling more than an SV since 9.0 (to remain only in SL) but you’ll just need to persist and it can be done.
It is also possible to have it done while playing Solo. As example, I do m+ solo and go for random pugs and managed to hit all +15 3 months ago (Didn’t see the point of pushing further). so If an SV can do it, anyone can
Spearhand Strike would be my pick for MW utility, tbh. We already bring 5% physical damage, AoE stun, knockback, and a CC. An interrupt would make us one of only two healers who can offer that, and make us way more desirable in both M+ and PvP.
Still, I have hopes that 9.1 will change perception of MW from “bad” to “average”. It’s going to take time though, like months, to really undo the idea that MWs can’t heal above a +10
Best bet for MW is exactly the same as everyone else though - have a guild that is supportive of your activities so that you have players who know and trust you to do your role and don’t leave you sidelined because of your class
Sounds sucky, but that’s the way of it. If you want to avoid the general public waiting on what they believe to be a better option for their own groups, then you can run your own keys and you decide who goes with you and/or consider a guild, community, premade group, or even just friends.
Everyone is going to have this issue in one way or another. I’ve been running keys since Legion, mostly as a solo-PuG, and I can tell you that BFA as a Resto Shaman was a wall of declines in higher keys for the most part - despite a solid rating.
It’s easier now thanks to Shaman being in a better position, but you can still lose to people wanting Pala or Priest specifically. That’s just a fact of life when you’re trying to join keys as a solo-pug when everyone has the power to choose what they please for whatever reason they want. Low Rio? Not enough item-level? Not the class they want? Whelp, better wait for someone else.
I play a Fistweaver myself – mostly because pugs refused to take me for 20’s because I hadn’t timed one, despite being ready for them all month (which changed last night, thankfully), so I found myself just playing an alt to re-capture a sense of progression out of boredom. My Monk has a bunch of 16++'s and 15++'s, but they’re are not nearly as easy to heal compared to my Shaman – so why should I expect Joe Soap to risk taking my Monk to their key? As a healer myself, why would I invite a [insert-tank-here that I find awkward to heal] given the choice? And so forth.
It’s in the individual leaders hands. Becoming the leader yourself or being part of a set group helps to skirt around this problem.
As a perpective from a MW Monk i have something to say.
if u wanna do 15+ Keys you should really play your own keys.
it’s not a secret we are the most unpopular Healer right now.
so i found myself on a edge on how do i get 15+ Keys.
First i asked friends, they could barley help me to get 17’s.
so i searched for a Team since Playing a MW is somewhat of a challenge i would say in Mythic Plus.
i also found myself without Impressing Pugs on Playlstyle u wont get invited anymore.
so i did my Best overhealing as much as i can. Carrying the Key with just Healing output.
l would also recommend you Playing with 3 Types of Tanks
-DH
-Warr
-Druid
Since the synergy is really good with them.
so i went to a Community Discord forming my own “Push Grp” and we Managed 2k+
so i was able to get a 21 Plaguefall and some other 20’s Keys
My opinion as MW Monk is.
Play it without fails u will be performing good. Obviously Jade Serpent Statue is not very good for M+ instead use Chiji the Red Crane. It Literally is the most powerfull Healing Cooldown in the entire Game.
i Know it forces you to play Fistweaving but still “Tear of Morning” combined withj Chiji is like Insane.
Currently im Ranked top 100 World but the Road to this was a rough one as a MW i wish we had litrally more DMG even in 9.1, class still feels Weak in certain situations.
