Windwalker Monk

Windwalker Monk

Melee DPS

Once a tactician, Windwalker is more of a brawler these days capitalizing on uptime more than anything else. Mobility can be limited in some matchups, but Monks can deal insanely high burst during cooldown windows, all while having a bulky defensive kit.

Best Race

Shadowmeld can immune incoming projectiles like Mortal Coil and Chaos Bolt, and instant abilities like Blind and Kidney Shot. It also removes you as the target, which is valuable for escaping focus.

Blood Fury is an on-use racial that boosts your Agility. Pair it with your burst cooldowns for devastating damage. Hardiness grants a passive 10% stun reduction in PvP.

Stat Priority
Mastery: Combo Strikes > Versatility > Critical Strike > Haste

Mastery: Combo Strikes increases your damage dealt by attacks when they are not repeats of the previous ability. Seems tricky but when you sequence your burst properly you can deal a ton of damage. Versatility increases your damage and reduces damage taken, essential for PvP survivability. Critical Strike provides burst potential and synergizes well with your damage profile. Haste is the lowest priority as Windwalker doesn't benefit as much from faster globals compared to other stats.
