A bunch of hotfixes landed on servers since SL release, but mistweaver still in the ignore list. Dear Blizzard, just to remind hashtag #Nochanges applies to WoW Classic it has nothing to do with mistweaver spec in shadowlands.
I haven’t watched all videos from AWC, but it seems that nobody tried to play MW on tournament. I know that MW was represented on AWC BFA, so pro gamers didn’t avoid to play MW spec before.
I don’t want to compare MW representation on arena with other healers. I want to make a list of specs which have worse or similar situation in PvP. Data was taken from pvpleaderboard dot com.
Here is the list of victims of current PvP design. We are not alone, list includes several dps specs which used to shine on arena in the past. But those specs have option to play on arena on the same character with the same role in current meta. Healer monks have only one option except reroll is to switch their role to dps.
