Windwalker Monk DPS Stat Priority — Dragonflight 10.2.6

The stat priority for Windwalker Monks depends on the encounter type and your character's gear.

1. Weapon Damage;
2. Agility;
3. Versatility and Critical Strike;
4. Mastery
5. Haste

Agility is your primary statistic. You should look for it in all of your upgrades. It provides you with Attack Power, which determines the damage your abilities do.

Versatility increases all your damage and healing done, and decreases all damage taken.

Critical provides an increased chance on most of your spells to deal double damage. Keep in mind this will not affect the damage from Touch of Death and Touch of Karma.

Haste provides you with increased attack speed and Energy regeneration, and reduces the cooldown of your Fists of Fury and Rising Sun Kick.

Mastery ( Mastery: Combo Strikes) causes your abilities to deal increased damage (the amount depends on your amount of Mastery) when they are not used two or more times in a row. For example, using Blackout Kick and Tiger Palm gives both of them the damage bonus, but if you use Tiger Palm twice in a row, the second Tiger Palm will no longer benefit from the increase.

The gems, enchants, and consumables you will use are directly derived from your stat priority and you can find our advice on this topic in our dedicated page.
