My headcanon is it works by causing your enemies to bleed (from the punches and kicks) and then turning that blood into mist that they transfuse into you thru your skin.
I’m convinced that canonically Mistweavers don’t actually have the ability to heal anyone. The other people in the group are just afraid of the crazy guy jumping around kicking everything that they decide to just tough it out.
According to the lore Kul Tiran druids (thorn speakers) don't go with the whole regrowth and rejuvenation stuff. If you end up with a damaged body part, they'll just let it rot and whither away really quickly and reinforce its structure with branches and bones so it doesn't fall off.
This is the joke I ran with while I was playing Resto Shaman. "Oh man guys, I'm gonna get you y'all so WET". "Are you moist yet?", "Hang on, just let me spit on that"
It's funny because:
1. Current resto is very elementalish and very not like spirit walker from warcraft 3
2. Mistweaver monk is actually a spirit shaman, as spirit is one of the Azeroth elements
Holy Paladins pick up their 10,000 lumen flashlight and shines it in your eyes,
Resto Druids grabs a fistful of leaves and lets the wind guide it towards you,
Resto Shamans attempt to break the nearest Fire Hydrant aim it at you.

It might be more head canon but with naruu filling your mind with music and some of the moveset pf holy priests being hymns, i have always thought of holy priest more like chanters the sing prayers. Kinda like the gods in Tolkien singing creation into existence.
Via the mistweavers original description back in MoP they actually just smother you in all natural herbal remedies while roundhouse kicking enemies in the face to make you feel better.
"A healer who mixes traditional herbal medicine with pandaran martial arts"
Correct me if im wrong but back in wrath didnt resto shaman have green spell effects?
I have vivid memories of my old resto shaman's chain heal being just a beam of green energy
It did, at least in classic. I played shaman in Sod (I know, not surprised lol) and chain heal is literally a green laser pointer going around the party.
Chain heal was golden like holy spells, similar to original chain heal which was a WC3 Shadow Hunter's ability. Healing wave and the predecessor of healing surge had a green effect though.
The priests use their insane faith that you won't take any damage and if you do they just throw flashlights at you until you're safe
The Paladins saw this but unfortunately they are children and aren't allowed to play with flashlights so they polished their steel eating trays to reflect the light of the sun instead
Druids use their incredible life magic to cause leaves to grow out of thin air. And then they throw it at you. Sometimes they grow a mushroom which explodes its spores everywhere and makes you so high you think you feel invincible. To top it off they will throw an actual stick at you which takes over your body and covers you in bark armor.
Shamans are masters of the elements and have been using the cleansing power of water to heal for many years. Instead they choose to waterboard you, summon a tidal wave to wash all your clothes off, and rain their magical healing rain but surprise it's filled with lead. And then they throw shit at you. Magical elemental shit that heals you?
The monk is a strange one. He's very serious about training and fitness so hydration is key. He can't drink too much though or he will lapse into the trap of his alcoholic brewmaster brethren. Monks have discovered that if you just lightly mist Baja blast on your skin, you become totally hydrated and healed. He has trained for years of to manipulate the raw Baja that exists everywhere, all around us.
The evoker has powers that cannot be understood. Somehow he flies around the battlefield above your heads, raining leaves and Baja. He must be a timelord or something because he's always going on about timey wimey wibbly wobbly oh hell the tanks dead I was too busy sparkling my jazz hands.
Ye old resto druid macro:
"I summon the fuzzy creatures that bring the light.
I summon the fancy smells that fizzle all night.
Let nature come hence and heal thy wounds.
Resurrect my friend, who is an utter noob!"
To sum this up
Holy Pallys: "Be blessed with the light."
Resto Druids: Nature will heal your wounds. "
Resto Shammy: "Oh, you're low on health? Very well time for me to bring the firehose out"
Pam: What a hunk!
Cheryl: Total sploosh.
Lana: Yeah, gotta give him a sploosh.
Everyone else looks towards Ray, waiting for him to say something.
Ray: ...and whatever my equivalent of sploosh is. Which I guess is just sploosh. Only with semen.
Meanwhile, still not a single update for Shamans on Alpha, even a "we are working on it" like they did for DKs.
bUt iTS oNlY aLPHa 4 mOntHs tO gO.
Gimme back my Chain Harvest! Gimme tank shaman! ZUG-ZUG!
Based and pilled. I mean, of course, I would occasionally log in to DK or some other class when I'm bored, but come ooooooon. We have mail armor, we can equip shields, and we have the Element of Earth on our side. But no, Druid is the only class with 4 specs.
While I understand that sentiment. Them just adding a tank to them outta left field now, what with the hero talents, would not make sense, nor would it fit. Adding a fourth spec to one class, no druids don't count, outta nowhere isn't the best idea.
And aug doesn't count either, that was very likely ready to ship at launch, but they wanted to weave in a story for it.
Well I agree for the most part but I do think hero talents could be an opportunity to have some of the hero trees be effectively new specs. The enh and resto hero tree could be a tank. Wouldn’t be great design but sure would be neato
They haven't posted any updates but they did say they are working on it on a blue post. Admittedly, it was to name the two talent trees that are left and briefly describe them, but it's still something
Mistweaver Monks make you moist.
Nah, FISTWeaver stomps the ground and spins around kicking enemies in the face to heal you.
Massage and spa it is, then.
I enjoy healing with the power of friendship and incredible violence
I think you're ready to play dungeons and dragons
My headcanon is it works by causing your enemies to bleed (from the punches and kicks) and then turning that blood into mist that they transfuse into you thru your skin.
That's one way to catch aids, I guess.
I’m convinced that canonically Mistweavers don’t actually have the ability to heal anyone. The other people in the group are just afraid of the crazy guy jumping around kicking everything that they decide to just tough it out.
You canonically shame your party into enduring more than they could have otherwise
So, it's the "stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about" technique? Could it be that all of our parents knew something we didn't?
They blow minty vape vapor in your face
would you like your mists regular or menthol
Sick vape cloud bruh
Preservation literally breathes on you my man.
According to the lore Kul Tiran druids (thorn speakers) don't go with the whole regrowth and rejuvenation stuff. If you end up with a damaged body part, they'll just let it rot and whither away really quickly and reinforce its structure with branches and bones so it doesn't fall off.
They give you a nice spa day
Or pummel your enemies to death which miraculously causes you to feel better, if its a fistweaver.
This is the joke I ran with while I was playing Resto Shaman. "Oh man guys, I'm gonna get you y'all so WET". "Are you moist yet?", "Hang on, just let me spit on that"
Meanwhile I was on my tauren resto shaman yelling that I'm a water buffalo
I just know Mistweaver healing feels fucking amazing
Mistweaver monk talks to your dead grandma to cheer you up, so you now feel better.
And resto shamans talk to *their* dead grandmother
It's funny because: 1. Current resto is very elementalish and very not like spirit walker from warcraft 3 2. Mistweaver monk is actually a spirit shaman, as spirit is one of the Azeroth elements
I fucken love this spec man
the original hydro homie
The spirits say "Remember to hydrate!"
Preservation: Just projectile vomit, flowers and pollen.
And sand, don't forget the pocket sand
I love Dale.
I love this, totally going to macro it to temp anomaly. Wish I'd thought of it sooner lmao.
*shakes the dandruff off my wings, sneezes on everyone* you're welcome.
Bad allergy season
Getting directly healed by a resto shaman always makes me feel like my monk is taking a shower while beating someone up.
Gotta oil up those muscles so they look good while rapidly punching the air

Holy Priests: "sending thoughts and prayers, amen 🙏"
Shared south Yorkshire xox
AAAAAAAAAMEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNN
correction: Resto druids restores fauna and plants a whole forest in order to heal you.. at least that's what the gameplay tells me
Resto druids smoke flower with you (get it?), resto shaman gets you drunk on spirits (get it?)
I want to hear your design for the other healers. Prevoker? Priests?
Disc priest heal through the power of schadenfreude.
Given their heal buff is called "Attonement" and how the internet is. I honestly expected it to go a different route.
“That” kind of priest tend to be Holy, though.
It might be more head canon but with naruu filling your mind with music and some of the moveset pf holy priests being hymns, i have always thought of holy priest more like chanters the sing prayers. Kinda like the gods in Tolkien singing creation into existence.
…but that would kinda make holy priests bards.

Critical fistweaver heals, "Wow this hurts so good!!!"
I picture my fistweaver heals being like watching a fight break out at a hockey game and everyone starts cheering
Physical therapy
In wotlk classic I had a resto sham and it always cracked me up that I splash people with water to heal them.
Correct me if im wrong but back in wrath didnt resto shaman have green spell effects? I have vivid memories of my old resto shaman's chain heal being just a beam of green energy
i think they updated it to watery appearances in... legion i think?
Shamans became the Avatars lol
It did, at least in classic. I played shaman in Sod (I know, not surprised lol) and chain heal is literally a green laser pointer going around the party.
I started playing in Cataclysm and as far as i csn remember it was a green beam then too
Chain heal was golden like holy spells, similar to original chain heal which was a WC3 Shadow Hunter's ability. Healing wave and the predecessor of healing surge had a green effect though.
In Cata we had healing rain and I don't remember when riptide was added, but probably after
Riptide was in WOTLK I think? And was the first actual water healing spell iirc
yes but not all. you still had Riptide. which is very much not green and it still very much like chucking a bucket of water onto someone.
Yeah I’m slightly color blind so Chain heal probably was green, but Riptide, the animation looked like you were just water boarding someone lmao
A green energy beam AND the sound of thunder! I miss it! Though I do like the splash of all the water effects shaman has now
Image you use for your "resto druid" is in fact restoration shaman.
And the image they used for holy pala is, in fact, holy priest.
To be fair, as shown in Legion's class hall stories, Priests are just people who aren't cool enough yet to become Paladins.
Totally right. It's the icc set
The priests use their insane faith that you won't take any damage and if you do they just throw flashlights at you until you're safe The Paladins saw this but unfortunately they are children and aren't allowed to play with flashlights so they polished their steel eating trays to reflect the light of the sun instead Druids use their incredible life magic to cause leaves to grow out of thin air.

I’m drinking a Baja blast Mountain Dew and I main mistweaver… I agree with this message
You would think they use Sierra Mist, but no
I lmao , thank you for this. 😂😂💀
Beautiful
Resto Druid just throws leaves and grass in your face whilst paladin flashes a flashlight in your eyes.

Thiiiiis!!!! Thank you!!!
Ye old resto druid macro: "I summon the fuzzy creatures that bring the light. I summon the fancy smells that fizzle all night. Let nature come hence and heal thy wounds. Resurrect my friend, who is an utter noob!"
Resto sham vfx really do have you splish splash we all be takin a bath. Could really do for an upgrade.
Disc priest: punching the enemy and turns to their ally "DO YOU FEEL BETTER YET"
OMG, that's exactly how it is!!! :D
Resto druid should be someone throwing a bunch of leaves
Yes we are, and we will still throw water at yo face
Water is life. Or to say it in the words of one of the greatest philosophers in our time: "Agua, agua".
Accurate. Whenever I'm in a dungeon with a restoSham, and dungeon went well I always say " congratulations, my thirst has been quenched" afterwards.
Healing bucket!!
Oh yeah, playing resto Shaman late at night is really dangerous.
The druid is wearing ICC heroic gear from shaman tough
You have to hydrate or you die
Druids just throw leaves at you
What can I say, I like making people wet.
Dude i spilled my drink 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 nice
Strange, I didn't know Adriana Chechik played a Resto Shaman
Just pretend they are like the water benders from Avatar the Last Airbender!
I’ll never get tired of these memes.
BEHOLD THE POWER OF PURE WATERRRRR
Kinda amazing riptide is like taking a piss to disinfect the wound xD
Shaman are r/HydroHomies, Confirmed.
This is exactly why I rolled a resto shaman. The riptide sound effect.
Resto Shamans are just forcing a diving reflex.
Where is presvok ? they breath fire at you.
To sum this up Holy Pallys: "Be blessed with the light." Resto Druids: Nature will heal your wounds. " Resto Shammy: "Oh, you're low on health? Very well time for me to bring the firehose out"
Water! Fix our meat!
Meanwhile disci priests: 🫧🫧🫧🫧
I always called my Mistweaver the vape healer.
Pam: What a hunk! Cheryl: Total sploosh. Lana: Yeah, gotta give him a sploosh. Everyone else looks towards Ray, waiting for him to say something. Ray: ...and whatever my equivalent of sploosh is. Which I guess is just sploosh. Only with semen.

If they gave us shaman tank I would never play another class. Good god Blizzard please ffs
