Windwalker Monk 7.3

Hi,

 

Thanks for the info on the site. I have to say that I like changes to WW and as I tanked the whole expansion on my Brewmaster i'm quite looking forward to DPSing some more however I have an issue with rotation deeper down the line.

From time to time I have 5 Chi, Energy is pulling towards 120 and I have around 5 seconds left on RsK and more on other abilities. Only spender I have is BoK but I am now not sure should I use it two times in a row so I got down to 3 Chi and then TP in time to get 5 Chi and then use RsK (but I will loose bonus damage from mastery this way) or should I just cap energy, use RsK with full buff rom Mastery and then Tiger Palm soon after.

Also sometimes it seems like I am wasting Chi as I am at 4 Chi, can't spend any and i am getting free BoK. To keep mastery bonus I need to BoK then TP but this will put me over 5 Chi. If I will wait for RsK to come of CD i will more then likely cap energy. From playing monk in WoD and Rouge in LK i know how important it was not to waste that energy so I am in a bit of a confusion

Thanks

Versat being first prio doesn't make any sence to me right now, how your math work on that one?

Right now you want to pick up whatever stat that you have the least of, looking at the #, not the %. Since most HFC gear is very light on Vers, thats why Vers is highest priority. The goal is to balance the 4 secondary stats as much as you can.

You can always use Spinning Crane Kick to get rid of some excess Chi. If you're comfortable with it you can use FSK or CJL and cancel them immediately so that you can BoK again without losing Hit Combo/Mastery. That is a slightly more advanced strategy, but slightly more DPS.

Shouldn't the single target rotation include the spell Rushing Jade Wind? It deals more damage than Blackout Kick for the same cost (1 Chi and 1 GCD). Even though it is not the optimal talent for single target fights it should still be included. Especially in Mythic+ or dungeons in general this might very well be the talent of choice and will probably not be swapped out for every Boss.

Rushing Jade Wind Talent
1 Chi
Instant cast 6 sec cooldown
Requires Monk (Brewmaster, Windwalker)
Requires level 90
Summons a whirling tornado around you, causing [(69% of Attack power) * 9] damage over 6 sec to enemies within 8 yards.

69*9=621

Blackout Kick
1 Chi Melee Range
Instant cast 3 sec cooldown
Requires Monk
Requires level 3
Kick with a blast of Chi energy, dealing (385% of Attack power) Physical damage.

BoK doesn't have a cooldown for Windwalkers; even 2 casts of BoK within 6 seconds will do substantially more damage than RJW

You seem to miss the point. One RJW deals more damage than one BoK so the priority would be

  1. Use Fists of Fury Icon Fists of Fury.
  2. Use Whirling Dragon Punch Icon Whirling Dragon Punch (if you have taken this talent).
  3. Use Tiger Palm Icon Tiger Palm
    • If you have less than 4 Chi AND you are about to reach maximum Energy.
  4. Use Rising Sun Kick Icon Rising Sun Kick.
  5. Use Chi Wave Icon Chi Wave (if you have taken this talent).
  6. Use ability_monk_rushingjadewind.jpgRushing Jade Wind (if you have taken this talent)
  7. Use Blackout Kick Icon Blackout Kick.

because (once again) one RJW deals  621% Attack power over 6 seconds while one BoK deals 385% of Attack power instantly.

EDIT: RJW might actually even be over Chi Wave since Chi Wave only deals up to 606,9% Attack Power.

Technically you are correct, but you're also giving up Hit Combo which will give you less overall damage on a single target.

I think I misunderstood what you were saying though; you mean that there should be a note in there on the ST rotation part that mentions RJW if you have taken it, in which case I agree. I'll mention it

hey there, i got a few questions to the rotation:

should i focus on keeping combo strikes stacked and always switch between Blackout kick and tigerpalm or should i focus on getting enaugh combo points in time when one of the higher prio abilitys comes up? And how do i combine this with the 3. Tier talents energizing elixir / power strikes. Could need some more details on this topic.

Maybe you can add a starting fight rotation, that woudl help me a lot.

Btw great guide always learing a lot! Keep this work up! :)

I have a couple of questions based on a few observations of the priority based rotation.

If you have power strikes proc during the opening of the pull, you have enough chi to immediately use Fists of Fury, however, this causes you to be at maximum energy for about half of the channel. Would it be more optimal to RSK then Tiger Palm again to burn more energy to prevent energy capping? Or does the damage from Fists of Fury worth the wasted energy regen?

Similar case with Energizing Elixer. When you pop it, would it be more optimal to use RSK to spend some chi, then tiger palm to get rid of some energy before channeling Fists of Fury to minimize the amount of time you're at energy cap, wasting energy?

" while Serenity Icon Serenity can work in AoE situations where Spinning Crane Kick Icon Spinning Crane Kick is used extensively (though we still recommend Whirling Dragon Punch). "

Also, I'm not entirely sure how Serenity is better than Storm, Earth, and Fire in heavy AE situations. Serenity makes tagging multiple enemies much harder for Spinning Crane Kick; spamming Spinning Crane while in Serenity would also do less because your mastery would fall off. Serenity seems to be meant for single target situations to me.

Finally, this is a technicality, but It's actually impossible to prioritize Rising Dragon Kick over Rising Sun Kick because of the nature of Rising Dragon Kick requiring RSK to be off CD. I know they're in order of what provides the most damage (what's most important), but since you have to use RSK to get to Dragon Kick, RSK becomes higher priority because of mechanics.

For actual questions on rotations and stuff, it's better to open up a thread in the Monk section. People mostly come here to criticize the guide and give feedback :)

You're welcome to use whichever talents you feel you are performing best with, but performing the rotation properly and getting correct use out of WDP will result in higher damage dealt overall

This can also be done via WeakAuras, in which you can also track your current stack of Hit Combo.

Blackout kick does not have a 3 second cooldown, at least not anymore. Looking at it right now on my monk.

Where are you seeing this reference? Just want to make sure we're getting any references to it when correcting.

Generic comment being mass posted over the comments threads guys.

We are aware of the changes and our writers are working hard to update the guides to suit what has changed. Currently, there is a lot of work still to be done and it's unlikely that every guide will be up-to-date immediately. Expect a flood of updates over the coming days that will answer all of your questions about what is now best after X change, in time for the reset next week.

Thanks for your understanding and patience.

I'll ask for this, but honestly, BiS lists really don't hold much weight any more. You could, in theory, find an item from a Mythic dungeon that is better than a Mythic piece of raid gear due to titanforging.

      If you plan on buying the physical War Within Collector's Edition and live in Europe, you're going to have a bad time!
      Blizzard has ceased distributing WoW Collector's Editions through retailers with the release of Dragonflight, making the Blizzard Store the only place to buy them. However, the shipping costs could be a dealbreaker for many collectors eager to acquire the latest edition for the upcoming expansion.
      Reddit user katamai from Serbia posted a screenshot of their order, revealing that the shipping fees exceed the cost of the box itself—280 Euros for shipping compared to 200 Euros for the box, totaling 480 Euros.

      Additionally, Emi, a follower on our Facebook page, reported a shipping cost of 99 Euros to Romania, nearly ten times what it costs to ship to the UK.

      A practical workaround might be to order the Collector's Edition to a UK address and then use a shipping service to forward it to your address in Europe, potentially saving a considerable amount of money.
      How much does it cost to ship the box to your country?

      We've already talked about and taken a first look at the Delve-specific mount coming in the War Within, but now it's time to check out all of its customization options! 
      LeystTV has delved into the mount and shown off all the options, from the different colors to nose, wing, thruster, and top customizations, with glider, blimp, helicopter looks and more! There's even different versions of Horde and Alliance decals to choose from! 

      And these may not even be all the options present at launch, not to mention new ones Blizzard might add with later patches, making this one of the cooler mounts in the game.

      We have a Crest switch fix and weekly maximum increase, as well as a quest fix in retail, the big class tuning pass for Season of Discovery, and more in today's hotfixes.
      April 23 (Source)
      Items
      Season 3 (Dreaming) crests are now correctly removed from players' currency tabs. Players have received a small amount of gold for their unused Dreaming Crests. Players can now earn up to 120 crests of each type per week in Dragonflight Season 4 (was a maximum of 90 per week in Season 3). This will allow for up to 8 upgrades per week, per crest type (was 6 in Season 3). Developers' notes: For players who don't reach their maximum crest earnings in a given week, we've implemented the increasing-seasonal-cap system from previous seasons. Please note that this increase is likely applicable to Season 4 only. We expect the weekly maximum to return to 90 for The War Within Season One. Quests
      Resolved an issue where abandoning the quest "Something Worth Celebrating" could make it unavailable. Cataclysm Classic
      The dates for Children’s Week have been adjusted so that the holiday begins and ends three days later than previously scheduled. Season of Discovery
      Players who have completed the quest "Warranty Claim" but have misplaced their Pristine G-7 C.O.R.E. Processor before handing in the quest "Salvaging the Salvagematic" may now speak with the Lost and Found vendor Rix Xizzix in Booty Bay to recover the misplaced quest item. Fixed a Sunken Temple issue where the Atal'ai Defenders encounter would not reset properly. Druid The Natural Weapons talents now increases all damage done by druids in Season of Discovery, instead of just physical damage. The Gale Winds rune now reduces the mana cost of Hurricane by 60%. Swiftmend no longer consumes a Rejuvenation or Regrowth effect on the target when used. Developers’ notes: Please note that it does still require Rejuvenation or Regrowth to be on the target to be used. Hunter Rapid Killing now reduces the cooldown of Rapid Fire by 80% (was a reduction of 2 minutes). Chimera Shot weapon damage percent increased to 135% (was 120%). Explosive Shot base damage before attack power increased by 50%. Sniper Training has an additional new effect: while Sniper Training is at 5 stacks, Aimed Shot is instant. Serpent Spread now causes Multi-shot to apply Serpent Sting to its targets for 12 seconds (was 6 seconds). Steady Shot now deals 100% weapon damage (was 75%). Developers’ notes: There are more adjustments coming for Hunters. In general, we intend to improve the ranged playstyle and diminish the melee playstyle so that the two become more equivalent. Paladin Seal of Righteousness damage can now be critical hits. Sacred Shield’s duration is extended to 60 seconds (was 30 seconds). Crusader Strike has now gained an additional effect: Crusader strike now refreshes all judgement effects active on the target to a 30 second remaining duration. Seal of Martyrdom can now “twist” with other seals, including Seal of Command. Developers’ notes: Seal twisting was an interesting emergent effect that became popular during the original Burning Crusade, that utilized the slower server messaging system used in early versions of WoW to slightly extend the duration of the paladin’s active seal for a short time whenever a second seal was cast. This effectively allowed paladins to momentarily gain the benefit of two seals at once if they timed the application of a new seal to line up perfectly just before their weapon swing. We recreated this playstyle in Burning Crusade Classic and since then it’s been a popular request in other versions of original WoW, including Season of Discovery. As the game matures and we continue to listen to player feedback however, we recognize that for some, this is part of the charm and uniqueness of playing a paladin during those early eras of WoW’s history. We consider this change to be experimental and we will watch the performance and behavior of Retribution closely after this change. Priest Shadowform now increases all shadow damage done by 25% (was 15%). Rogue Saber Slash bleed now stacks up to 5 times. Saber Slash bleed now also increases the impact damage done by Sinister Strike and Saber Slash by 15% per stack for the rogue who applied the bleed. Saber Slash bleed now deals 3% of the rogue’s Attack Power in damage per tick (was 5%). Shaman Mental Dexterity now only triggers from dealing damage with Stormstrike and Lava Lash, and it now lasts 30 seconds (was 10 seconds). Burn now increases Flame Shock Damage by 100% and flame shock DoT duration by 6 seconds, and causes Flame Shock to strike up to 5 targets (was 3 targets). Developers’ notes: We’ve received a lot of feedback about the overall usability of mental dexterity, particularly for Elemental Shamans. This ability was not intended to be used by elemental, so the adjustments we’ve made are to help ensure its usage is a bit more enhancement-centric. To compensate, we’ve increased the output and usability of the Burn rune, with a slight quality-of-life improvement in the form of a Flame Shock duration increase which allows two Lava Burst casts to be used within a single Flame Shock duration.
