Tocco della Morte - 15% damage increase was added to Rank 3. Also, Healing Spheres were removed from the tooltip, and they are not spawning.

Invocazione: Yu'lon, la Serpe di Giada - This, along with Invocazione: Chi-Ji, la Gru Rossa received a major rework back in August. Invocazione: Yu'lon, la Serpe di Giada now will cast Nebbia del Sollievo on an injured target, and also heal 4 nearby allies. The rank 2 of this spell, learned at 58, adds an additional healing HoT, Armonia Celestiale, to 5 nearby targets when you heal with Nebbia Avvolgente. This is a great buff to a previously lackluster cooldown.

Invocazione: Chi-Ji, la Gru Rossa - This was also reworked not only in August, but later changed. It now will heal up to 2 nearby allies with Maestria: Folata di Venti each time Palmo della Tigre, Calcio dell'Oscuramento, or Calcio Rotante della Gru is used. Along with this, each time to cast one of those spells, you gain a buff that reduces the mana cost and cast time of Nebbia Avvolgente by 33%, stacking up to 3 times. Couple this with Armonia Celestiale and you have a very strong Nebbia Avvolgente spamming cooldown.

Armi dell'Ordine - The heal that is triggered at the start and end of an Fonte dell'Essenza cast has had it’s spell power reduced to 40% from 250%.

Urto di Silfaglia - Now triggers on those targets in front of you for the heal, and the faeline will spawn directly under your feet.

Ordine Caduto - This ability has gone through numerous bug fixes, so while it’s spell power has not been changed, it has gone through iterations to have the clones function as the tooltip states. They will now cast Nebbia Avvolgente correctly.

Fuga dalla RealtàLacrima del Mattino

Casting Vivify or Enveloping Mist on a target with Renewing Mist has a 10% chance to spread the Renewing Mist to another target. Your Vivify healing through Renewing Mist is increased by 20% and your Enveloping Mist also heals allies with Renewing Mist for 20% of its healing.

As always, Dispersione della Magia will generally be the more useful defensive talent, however, based on specific boss fights Diminuzione del Dolore may be the more appropriate choice.

Benessere vs Nebbia Crescente will be a talent row you can swap between. In terms of power, they end up relatively even, with Benessere being the easier option to maintain and gain the most benefit from.

Invocazione: Chi-Ji, la Gru Rossa

As always, Dispersione della Magia will generally be the more useful defensive talent, however, based on affixes or specific dungeons, Diminuzione del Dolore may be the more appropriate choice.

Circolo di Pace continues to be strong in dungeons to cover multiple scenarios such as moving mobs out of or into certain other abilities, interrupting caster mobs, or pushing portions of packs away for specific pulls..

Tocco della Morte (Level 52) - Using Touch of Death will now increase your physical damage by 15% for 10 seconds after using it.

Espulsione del Dolore (Level 54) - Expel Harm is now castable during Nebbia del Sollievo and will also heal your Nebbia del Sollievo target.

Paralisi (Level 56) - Reduces the cooldown of Paralysis by 15 seconds. Ok?

Armonia Celestiale (Level 58) - While Invocazione: Yu'lon, la Serpe di Giada or Invocazione: Chi-Ji, la Gru Rossa are active, each cast of Nebbia Avvolgente will heal up to 6 nearby targets and also increase healing they receive from you by 10%.

Kyrian

Armi dell'Ordine - This grants a 10% mastery buff, along with resetting the cooldown of Fonte dell'Essenza. Each time you start and end a cast Fonte dell'Essenza while Armi dell'Ordine is active, a fairly strong heal is triggered by the ability. This turns Fonte dell'Essenza in an even stronger AOE healing ability. However, you will more than likely use this in tandem with Invocazione: Chi-Ji, la Gru Rossa to boost the Mastery healing from the damage you do during the buff. This plays nicely into the Fistweaving playstyle that comes with taking Invocazione: Chi-Ji, la Gru Rossa, so if you want to continue to pursue that playstyle, you can with Kyrian.
Assalto Lucido - This increases the Mastery gain and duration of Armi dell'Ordine. You will potentially skip this as the duration of Armi dell'Ordine is already longer than Invocazione: Chi-Ji, la Gru Rossa. The increased Mastery, however, does offer some benefits depending on how Conduit balancing ends up.
Evocazione: Factotum - This summons a little steward that provides some different things like a free talent change or a vendor. The big draw, however, is Fiala della Serenità, which is a healing potion that does not share the same cooldown as health potions. The potion also removes bleeds, which may end up being useful in Castle Nathria, however, they have been changing the damage of abilities from bleeds, so it may not be as useful in the live raid.

Venthyr

Ordine Caduto - This ability casts a mirror that various monk adepts spawn out of. There are 3 types, each aligning to the 3 monk specs. This spell has gone through a number of bug fixes and in its current state it is a strong 3 minute cooldown, however, there are still instances of the adepts not casting or inconsistently casting Nebbia Avvolgente. As a dual DPS / HPS cooldown it is strong.
Riflessioni Infuse - So you get more damage and healing out of the adepts. Sure. This will more than likely be an easy conduit to slot into your soulbind if you do select Venthyr
Porta delle Ombre - Very situational in terms of power. Monk is already an extremely mobile healer so moving quickly from place to place is not something we struggle with. The ability also has a cast time which will limit its usefulness in combat. You may be able to use this to skip packs in Mythic+ or positionally setup for certain encounters. You are however, at the mercy of WoW’s pathing, which is suspect at best. Even when you have full line of sight of your target location.

Night Fae

Urto di Silfaglia - First off, this is hands down the most beautiful ability ever implemented in this game. Now that we got that out of the way, the ability will heal allies in front of you, along with placing a faeline on the ground. Allies are also healed by an Fonte dell'Essenza bolt when hit by the faeline. While the damage of this ability was recently nerfed the healing component was untouched. This is a strong frontal AOE healing ability on a short 30 seconds cooldown. It is competitive with the other covenants in terms of its healing output.
Via dei Silfi - So this increases the damage of Urto di Silfaglia. There is no healing increase, so this conduit can be largely ignored and skipped.
Animorfosi - This is another mobility cooldown. This will instantly blink you forward 15 yards and also grants a 50% movement increase for 15 seconds. I have already said above that Monks have a large number of mobility spells and cooldowns. Having another blink is nice, but there isn’t a huge benefit for monks on this one. If you do like to potentially roleplay as a spectral fox, you now have a pathway to live out that fantasy in WoW.

Necrolord

Birra di Polvere d'Ossa - Necrolord has had its ups and down over the course of the Beta. It started out in an extremely bugged state, with Vivificazione from all 3 specs cleaving on to anyone hit by Birra di Polvere d'Ossa. Currently, the spell has been fixed and is functioning just as it’s tooltip suggests. It allows you to cast an AOE ability that applies a buff to allies hit for 10 seconds. During those 10 seconds, Maestria: Folata di Venti healing is increased by 42%. On a 1 minute cooldown, this does align with a lot of the current damage patterns in Castle Nathria.

To touch on a recent change, Luppoli di Midollo Osseo, the Necrolord Covenant conduit, was providing a large amount of cooldown reduction, because it had a chance to proc on an individual healing event. With a spell like Tornado di Giada Rinfrescante, you can have 10 or more events per second. This previously allowed up to greatly reduce the cooldown of Birra di Polvere d'Ossa. A change recently though, has capped the cooldown reduction at 2.5 seconds. While this does reduce the overall number of casts, it is still a powerful cooldown.
Luppoli di Midollo Osseo - This provides more healing from Birra di Polvere d'Ossa, along with a small reduction in its cooldown. This is still a no brainer in terms of if you are Necrolord, you will equip this conduit.
Forgiatura della Carne - This is a 4 second channeled ability that provides a shield that is equal to 20% of your maximum health. If you are near a corpse, this shield is increased to 50%. This ability will be someone difficult to use since you have to channel for 4 seconds for the full benefit. For any telegraphed damage, you will generally have a cooldown being used, so the additional buff may not be needed. Also, because it is channeled, it cannot be used as an emergency button. This may see some situational use where you have the time to cast it before a damage event, but in general, I don’t see how useful this will be.

Potency - Which provides a damage / healing buff, and includes changes to Covenant abilities.

Endurance - Which provide defensive bonuses

Finesse - Which provide additional utility bonuses

Vincolo di Giada - Abilities that activate Gust of Mist reduce the cooldown on by 0.3 sec, and healing is increased by 6.3%.
Chi Nutritivo - Bozzolo di Vita increases healing over time received by an additional 18.8%, and this effect lingers for an additional 6 sec after the cocoon is removed.
Nebbia Risplendente - Folata di Venti has a 30% chance to do 50.0% more healing.
Palingenesi del Sole Nascente - Calcio del Sole Nascente reduces the remaining cooldown on Palingenesi by 1.0 sec, and Palingenesi heals targets for 12.5% of Palingenesi's heal over 10 sec.
Assalto Lucido (Kyrian) - Armi dell'Ordine's duration is increased by 5.0 sec, and it increases your Mastery by an additional (1.25 * 1)% .
Riflessioni Infuse (Venthyr) - Ordine Caduto monks deal 36.3% more damage and healing.
Luppoli di Midollo Osseo (Necrolord) - Birra di Polvere d'Ossa's Shadow damage or healing is increased by 40.0%, and when Bonedust Brew deals Shadow damage or healing, its cooldown is reduced by 0.5 sec.
Via dei Silfi (Night Fae) - Increases the initial damage of Urto di Silfaglia by 10.5% per target hit by that damage, up to a maximum of 52.5% additional damage.

Vincolo di Giada - With this conduit, you end up with both an increase to your two Celestials, along with the ability to lower the cooldown on these 3 minute cooldowns. With the fact that the cooldown reduction is triggered on Maestria: Folata di Venti procs, you should be able to see reductions in the 20-30 second range, under normal conditions. The cooldown reduction does currently trigger on each Maestria: Folata di Venti so if a target with the Fonte dell'Essenza HoT is healed, that would be 2 separate cooldown reduction events.

Palingenesi del Sole Nascente - While not overly powerful, in the context of the other conduits available this is our next best choice. Utilizing Calcio del Sole Nascente on cooldown, you should expect a potential 10-15 second reduction on Palingenesi. Not amazing if you cannot make use of the cooldown reduction. Also the healing HoT portion, while helpful, doesn’t really push overall Palingenesi healing that much higher

Nebbia Risplendente - A chance at more Maestria: Folata di Venti healing. In a world where if we needed more healing from Maestria: Folata di Venti we would already be channeling a lot of our single target healing power into a single ally, a proc from this will more than likely be overkill.

Chi Nutritivo - So they brought back our Legion artifact ability, but they made a change that made it usable. It is still not great, as Bozzolo di Vita is mostly used to cover pre-damage vs post, but the HOT increase does allow for the player to be topped up quicker, even after the shield fades.

Assalto Lucido - Kyrian - With this, you gain an increase in the duration of Armi dell'Ordine along with an increase in the Mastery gain. While this is mostly going to be paired with Invocazione: Chi-Ji, la Gru Rossa, so you will gain nothing from the increase in the duration of the buff. The Mastery healing increase is a great bonus also, particularly with Invocazione: Chi-Ji, la Gru Rossa scaling fully off of our Mastery.

Riflessioni Infuse - Venthyr - It's a flat increase. Equip it. That’s it basically.

Luppoli di Midollo Osseo - Necrolord - It’s a flat increase. Equip it. Do I sound like a broken record yet? The biggest thing here, is yes, the increase to healing is great, and will outshine our Mistweaver specific Potency Conduits. The cooldown reduction was hotfixed last week and capped at 2.5 second of reduction. While it does limit the number of times you can cast this, it does not affect its impact on your healing. It will still be useful and pairing this with Emeni (Emeni: Necrolord Covenant Soulbind in Shadowlands - Abilities, Row Unlocks, Conduits) and Esempio Guida provide a boost to your main stat.

Ingredienti Fortificanti - Birra Fortificante grants you a shield equal to 12.0% of your maximum health for 15 sec.
Respiro Fondamentale - When casting Vivificazione on yourself, its healing is increased by 15.0%, and it has a 30% chance to refund its cost.
Negazione del Dolore - Espulsione del Dolore's healing is increased by 25.0%.

Ingredienti Fortificanti - Generally the strongest of the 3 endurance conduits available. The shield it provides is a nice bonus on top of an already strong defensive cooldown. Mistweavers in general are fair hardy healers, so while we don’t need the additional defensive capabilities, they are nice in the case.

Respiro Fondamentale - A conduit focused solely on you healing yourself is generally not great. As a healer, you have full control over your own hitpoints and can understand if you have a defensive or other ability up to mitigate upcoming damage, versus spending a GCD to heal yourself with Vivificazione. Only should be taken if for some reason you need to run two Endurance conduits because of SoulBind abilities.

Negazione del Dolore - It increases the healing of an ability that shouldn’t be on your bars anyway. ;)

Crollo Frastornante - Targets affected by your Calcio a Spazzata deal 6.3% less damage for 5 sec.
Intorpidimento Persistente - When Paralisi ends, your target's movement speed is reduced by 40.0% for 5 sec.
Trasferimento Rapido - Trascendenza: Trasferimento increases your movement speed by 12.5% for 5 sec.
Tecnica di Ruzzolamento - Calcio dell'Oscuramento has a 6.0% chance to grant a charge of Capriola.
