Should I do any significant damage as an MW Monk?

Hey,
I’ve been doing quite a lot of rated solo shuffles nowadays and I have just no chance when the enemy is a holy or disc priest.
E.g.: In one round, which lasts roughly 90 sec or 2 mins, the holy priest did 250k dmg with 500k heal, while I did 600k heal and 20k dmg.
Should I be doing damage close to that? Even if I did only damage it would take me about 2 or 3 minutes to do 250k, which the priest did in less than 2 minutes + also healed almost as much as I did…
Also what’s going on with holy priests? If somehow they die after the “spirit healer” form they don’t die, they come back to life. So they need to be killed twice.

no, you`re not a disc priest, you are a mistbanger. Job of a mistbanger is to sit max range and heal, pushing in puts you in a position to get CCd, kicked or swapped to. Thats why mistbanger is not so great in solo suffle since the spec prefers playing with double casters where u can play to your role perfectly which is to sit back and just heal.

Thanks.
Also the team with the more affli lock always wins. :smiley:

Mistweavers are good in solo shuffle, especially with the new talents like the one that makes yu’lon a 1 min cd. Their healing output and sheer amount of cooldowns to rotate through makes it a very strong spec. Positioning is important though, not only for the mistweaver but also the teammates

Don’t worry about trying to outdamage other healers. Keep a safe distance and make sure to maintain uptime on mystic touch if you’re playing with melee

The ability to kick (interrupt) and touch of death is also really strong but don’t get greedy since you make yourself vulnerable. It’s not as bad with the new talents though, but keep it in mind
