 Mistweaver Monk has a wide matchup spread across 19 matchups. There is a large gap between the best and worst matchups. 21% of matchups are favorable.

Best Matchups

  •  Unholy Death Knight 63% WR (27 matches). A dominant matchup. Unholy Death Knight is the one dying first at 76.5%, so commit to them as your primary target.
  •  Elemental Shaman 61.1% WR (18 matches). Winning this matchup consistently. Elemental Shaman is a viable kill target at 36.4%, though swapping to their teammate can work too.
  •  Beast Mastery Hunter 60.4% WR (48 matches). You win this one, but Beast Mastery Hunter is not the kill target at 20.7% kill rate. Look for opportunities on their partner instead.

Worst Matchups

  •  Affliction Warlock 0% WR (12 matches). Negative win rate into Affliction Warlock despite a low 8.3% first death rate. The issue is not survivability but finding kill opportunities.
  •  Holy Paladin 22.2% WR (18 matches). Negative win rate into Holy Paladin despite a low 7.1% first death rate. The issue is not survivability but finding kill opportunities.
  •  Windwalker Monk 26.2% WR (42 matches). Windwalker Monk at 3.2% first death rate means you are staying alive, but not winning. A different approach to kill pressure may help.

Common Mistakes

The most frequent mistakes made by  Mistweaver Monk players who have reached 1,845+ rating, based on automated match 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 Restoral 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.
