Monk Mistweaver Rotation & Opener
Built from the current top-100 Mythic parses on WarcraftLogs — the real opener sequences, casts-per-minute and buff uptimes of the best Mistweaver players, not theorycraft.
AI coach — raid
How to play: Renewing Mist on cooldown (top players: 10.5/min), Vivify rides it for group healing (15.6/min), Enveloping Mist for focus targets (9.6/min). Thunder Focus Tea empowers your next spell — pair with Enveloping or Vivify as needed (2.8/min). Keep Rushing Wind Kick going (10.9/min); a Mistweaver's damage IS healing. Watch: Renewing Mist count across the raid — Vivify cleave follows it; Mana Tea windows (97.4% uptime = top players basically live in discounted casts).
Real Opener Sequences — Vorasius
First ~12 casts of actual top-ranked kills. Trinkets and racials vary by setup; the skill order is what to copy.

Mythic+ Differences
AI coach — Mythic+
How to play: With no healing pressure, run your damage chain (Spinning Crane Kick / Rising Sun Kick / Tiger Palm); when healing is needed, dump banked Sheilun's Gift stacks and spot-heal with Enveloping Mist. The core skill is daring to fight — your damage loop IS your mana and healing engine. Watch: Sheilun's Gift stacks (release into damage waves) and the tank's health trend, keeping a reaction window.
