Table of Contents
Alliance
Human
For our most preferred Alliance race we have Human, giving you another way to escape stuns. This can also affect how you choose to gear your Windwalker Monk.
Substitute Trinket
Will to Survive allows you the opportunity to play with double damage trinkets, or simply have a second stun breaker alongside the PvP Medallion. Windwalker is a burst-oriented class and having the option of taking two damaging trinkets allows for much stronger and impactful goes throughout the game. However, if you decide to opt for our PvP Medallion instead, this will allow you to escape stuns more often.
Night Elf
Another alternative for Alliance is Night Elf, granting you the iconic racial, Shadowmeld. This spell is quite dynamic and offers multiple ways to effectively use it in arena combat.
Immunities
Shadowmeld as a racial ability can immune any incoming projectiles, which includes abilities that require some travel time, Mortal Coil and Chaos Bolt, and can immune instant abilities, such as Blind and Kidney Shot.
Target Dropping
When Shadowmeld has been used, it will remove you as the target or focus target to prevent players from either attacking or stopping casts immediately.
Racial Passives
Nature Resistance acts as a passive 1% damage reduction from any spell in the Nature Category. Additionally, Touch of Elune provides either Haste or Critical Strike, and is determined by server time.
Horde
Orc
If you plan to choose Horde as your faction for Windwalker Monk in The War Within PvP, Orc is your best option to choose from. This helps alleviate the weakness of this spec dying in stuns due to Hardiness.
Hardiness Racial
Hardiness reduces the duration of all stuns on your character by 10%, which is nerfed by half in PvP combat. This will grant you more overall uptime on your abilities in any matchup, and will cause Subtlety Rogues to potentially gap their Crowd Control, buying you enough time to get your defensives off at crucial moments.
Blood Fury Racial
Blood Fury acts as a flat on-use buff to our primary stat, always scaling the best at the beginning of every expansion.
