Matchups

All matchup numbers below are from Solo Shuffle match data this season. The more matches in the sample, the more you can trust the result.

Against melee and ranged opponents,  Mistweaver Monk sits at 50% against ranged, 49.5% against melee in Solo Shuffle.  Mistweaver Monk performs similarly against all role types, with a tight 0.5% spread.

A tight matchup spread. 20% of 20 matchups are above 50% win rate, with little separation between best and worst.

Best Matchups

  •  Unholy Death Knight 60.9% WR (27,003 matches). Winning this matchup consistently. Unholy Death Knight is a viable kill target at 47.8%, though swapping to their teammate can work too.
  •  Beast Mastery Hunter 54.3% WR (29,493 matches). A good matchup by win rate. Beast Mastery Hunter at 41.7% kill rate makes them a situational target depending on how the game develops.
  •  Shadow Priest 50.8% WR (16,467 matches). A favorable matchup overall. Shadow Priest is a reasonable kill target at 47%, but you will sometimes need to look for the kill on their teammate instead.

Worst Matchups

  •  Retribution Paladin 48% WR (47,340 matches). Negative win rate into Retribution Paladin despite a low 8.9% first death rate. The issue is not survivability but finding kill opportunities.
  •  Preservation Evoker 47.8% WR (24,366 matches). Preservation Evoker is a tough matchup, but not because you are dying first (8.6%). The problem is converting your survivability into wins.
  •  Arms Warrior 46.5% WR (43,785 matches). Losing to Arms Warrior without dying early (9.5% first death rate). You need better kill windows to turn this matchup around.

With 118 3v3 compositions above 50% win rate,  Mistweaver Monk ranks 2 out of 36 specs with winning comps for 3v3 comp versatility. Strong results across a wide range of team combinations.

Common Mistakes

The most frequent mistakes  Mistweaver Monk players make in ranked Solo Shuffle matches from the last 30 days, based on automated combat-log analysis.

Used Song of Chi-Ji but did not hit anyone. CC, especially stuns with fixed cooldowns, is how your team generates momentum. If you waste one, you're locked out of a chance to build momentum for 30 seconds to over a minute depending on the ability. Without CC you can't set up kills. Momentum shifts in arena come from CC chains and coordination. Every time you let a stun or trap get wasted, you put your team behind and take away your own ability to create pressure until it comes back up.

Let teammate die with Life Cocoon available. If your teammate dies and you had an ability that could have kept them alive, you're equally responsible for that death. You can't just blame your teammate for dying when you were sitting on a cooldown that would have saved them. This is one of the ways you carry in arena. Using your tools to keep your team alive is just as important as doing damage. It's not as bad as dying with your own defensives up, but it's up there. You could have kept the game going and you didn't. Take equal responsibility.

0.4x / game
Did not dispel Hammer of Justice on teammate. If the enemy team can land CC on your teammates and your healer just doesn't dispel, they're stopping pressure for free. Imagine you get feared by a Warlock. Your healer doesn't dispel you. You get feared far away, then you get bashed out of it into a DR Cyclone. Now you're stuck out of position, your healer is nowhere near you, and the enemy team is pressuring your team while you can't do anything. One undispelled CC can snowball into a disaster. At a basic level, this is stuff like a Mage casting Polymorph on you and your healer just sitting there watching it happen. At a higher level, it gets more nuanced. Think about an RMP setting up a go where the Mage Dragon's Breaths both DPS to set up cross-CC on the healer. A really good healer sees the setup coming and dispels the Dragon's Breath instantly, freeing a DPS to peel and shut down the whole go. A slow healer lets it ride and the setup lands clean. This isn't just a low rated mistake. Fast, aware dispelling is one of the things that separates good healers from great ones.
