Matchups

 Mistweaver Monk’s top and bottom matchups by win rate, drawn from this season’s Solo Shuffle games.

Breaking DPS matchups down by role:  Mistweaver Monk holds 50.4% against ranged, 48.8% against melee. Win rates are close across all role groups, with only a 1.7% spread between the best and worst.

A tight matchup spread. 41% of 17 matchups are above 50% win rate, with little separation between best and worst.

Best Matchups

  •  Unholy Death Knight 63.2% WR (7,692 matches). A favorable matchup overall. Unholy Death Knight is a reasonable kill target at 45.1%, but you will sometimes need to look for the kill on their teammate instead.
  •  Beast Mastery Hunter 56.9% WR (7,677 matches). A good matchup by win rate. Beast Mastery Hunter at 40.1% kill rate makes them a situational target depending on how the game develops.
  •  Discipline Priest 50.4% WR (19,992 matches). Favorable win rate, but Discipline Priest at 2.7% kill rate means they are not the target. Go for their teammate.

Worst Matchups

  •  Preservation Evoker 45.1% WR (5,598 matches). A losing matchup against Preservation Evoker, though you are not dying first very often (8.3%). You are surviving, but not closing games out.
  •  Fire Mage 44.5% WR (6,756 matches). Against Fire Mage, you survive well (4.3% first death rate) but still come out behind. Finding better kill windows is key.
  •  Retribution Paladin 45.6% WR (12,942 matches). Losing to Retribution Paladin without dying early (8% first death rate). You need better kill windows to turn this matchup around.

 Mistweaver Monk wins with 115 3v3 compositions above 50% win rate (rank 1 of 35 specs with winning comps). That is a high number of winning comps.

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 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.

0.3x / 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.
