Welcome to our Windwalker Monk DPS guide for World of Warcraft MoP 5.2. Here, you will learn everything you need to know about playing a Windwalker Monk in a raid environment, though most of the content also applies to normal and heroic dungeons.

This guide has been reviewed and approved by Gondlem, one of the best Windwalker Monks in the world, who raids in Midwinter.

Windwalker is the DPS specialisation of Monks, the most recently-added class in Word of Warcaft.

Windwalker Monks provide competitive melee DPS. With weapons of the same item level, dual-wielding provides more DPS than using a Two-Handed weapon, but a higher item level Two-Handed weapon will push this playstyle ahead.

Windwalker Monks are extremely mobile, and they also have excellent personal survival cooldowns that allow them to mitigate a lot of damage in a raiding environment.

To make it easy to bookmark the specific sections you are interested in, we have split the guide into 7 pages:
