Windwalker Monk 7.3

Recommended Posts

Excited to see how this guide will change with the buff to the white tiger (May he watch over us) and the huge list of changes and buffs to SEF! I'm still leveling my monk, but I love the flow of the rotation and the style of the class.

The guides are currently being updated for 7.1.5! I just wanted to leave a few notes for all of our users that might be getting ready to leave a comment:

  • Some pages do not require updates. The "Last Updated" stat does not mean the page is out of date, it might just not have needed any changes. If you feel that it does, leave a comment telling us what needs changing and why.
  • The process will not happen immediately - some guides will be updated faster than others simply due to the number of resources available. Be patient, they'll be ready when you need them!
  • There might be some continuity errors when making small adjustments to large guide pages. If you do find one of these, just let us know in the comments and we'll get it fixed ASAP.
  • "Why have you not taken into account X buff to X ability?" - remember, just because something got buffed, it doesn't mean it is now automatically better than the other options!

As always, we want to thank you all for being patient while we get things updated and I'm always available to help you all if you need it :)

i noticed that you dont mention the legendary trinket that on use creates a massive aoe hit. may want to add it onto your legendary list. 

i got it the other day and went to look at its ranking compared to everything else i have. but its not listed. and i know it got buffed recently too

It's one of the best trinkets, but not the best legendary.  The Bracers, Belt, and Boots are all better, as well as Sephuz Secret if you can reliably get the proc on cd.

BiS lists aren't really useful with the advent of WF/TF gear.  It's only really relevant for legendaries and trinkets, but for other gear, there's too much variance in gear levels to say that X piece is always better than Y piece.

I'm guessing they probably wanted a similar Nighthold-only list similar to what some of the other guides have. I've put in a note for it, but as you say, it still won't be the 100% BiS list.

Saw the same mistake, its at the tier 7 talent. 

 

Quote

In this tier, we recommend using Whirling Dragon Punch Icon Whirling Dragon Punch if you have the Drinking Horn Cover Icon Drinking Horn Cover trinket, or if you are fighting 4 or fewer enemies (even without the trinket). If you are fighting 5+ enemies and lack the trinket, then you should use Serenity Icon Serenity. If you prefer an easier to play, less involved playstyle, you can choose Chi Orbit Icon Chi Orbit.

"In this tier, we recommend using Whirling Dragon Punch Icon Whirling Dragon Punch if you have the Drinking Horn Cover Icon Drinking Horn Cover wrists, or if you are fighting 4 or fewer enemies (even without the trinket). If you are fighting 5+ enemies and lack the trinket, then you should use Serenity Icon Serenity. If you prefer an easier to play, less involved playstyle, you can choose Chi Orbit Icon Chi Orbit."

In the Builds and Talents section, the guide says that if you have the Drinking Horn Cover Icon Drinking Horn Cover, you should always use Whirling Dragon Punch, but in the Gear, Legendaries, and Best in Slot, it says: "Drinking Horn Cover Icon Drinking Horn Cover is useful for all situations and is a great legendary item, provided you are using the Serenity Icon Serenity talent." 

It seems to me, that the second statement is the correct one, as it reflects the change to the wrists in 7.2 (That it now affects Serenity Icon Serenity

I might be wrong, but if so, I could use a little clarification :)

  4. IconInner Peace (+3 item levels)
  5. IconTiger Claws (+2 item levels)
  6. IconStrength of Xuen (+1 item level)

I wonder why "everything else" is listed as +10 and +11? Perhaps those should be +0 and +1?

I was curious to find out if delaying Fists of Fury for a full 10 stacks of Transfer Power was important or not.  If this has been addressed, I apologize.  I looked over the guide a few times for this, but never saw it.  Also, thanks for putting the time into making this guide, and into answering forum questions.

No, it's generally not worth waiting to cast FoF with any certain amount of Transfer the Power Stacks.

      Players in Dark Heart can embark on a short quest in Valdrakken that rewards a Personal Tabard  that is account-wide, but the design you create is character-specific.
      After completing the quest, you can customize your Personal Tabard at tabard designers in any capital city. Thanks to MrGM for the screenshots.

      In a recent Reddit thread, players shared their regrettable experiences with the game's infamous Black Market Auction House (BMAH).
      The highest bids often come with stories of disappointment and frustration, as highlighted by these popular comments:
      Reddit user MadsenAn regretted spending a whopping 700,000 gold on a Tabard of Brilliance, only to receive it from a Twitch drop the same day, calling the coincidence "personal."
      Redditor DM_ME_KUL_TIRAN_FEET shared a tale of woe about spending 180,000 gold on a BMAH mystery box, which contained a Goblin Weather Machine that they had already received from a Twitch drop just a day earlier.
      Sammywitchdr recounted how they spent over 1 million gold on a Swift Zulian Panther thinking it was the rare ZG Tiger from vanilla WoW, only to realize they already owned the panther from a previous expansion.
      Thoms689 was duped into bidding 1.2 million gold for a Tabard of Frost by a friend who was secretly outbidding him to inflate the price, a betrayal that cost him both gold and a friendship.
      Vitchman shared a frustrating experience with a 600,000 gold bid for what turned out to be an Ordos drop that was unsuitable for his character class, illustrating the risks associated with the mysterious contents of BMAH boxes.
      Caronry discussed a close call with bidding 5 million gold on an Arcanite Ripper, thankful to have been outbid, which potentially saved them from later regret.
      Sigilweavers told a comedic yet painful tale of bidding 900,000 gold for a Firelands mount only to discover they already owned it after winning the auction. This story serves as a cautionary reminder to double-check what you already have before entering a bidding war.
      MattyIce8998 recounted an almost regrettable bid of 800,000 gold on Frostfire shoulders, narrowly avoided by being outbid. They eventually acquired the item when it became craftable, much cheaper.
      These stories encapsulate the high-risk, high-reward nature of the Black Market Auction House, where players' fortunes can swing dramatically with each bid and the lengths to which gamers will go for the rarities WoW has to offer.
      Do you have any interesting BMAH story for us? Don't forget to share it in the comments!

      Find out how to obtain the new Spark of Awakening in Season 4.
      Spark of Awakening is used to set the item level of crafted gear to Item Level 502 in Season 4, but how can you obtain one on live servers?
      Abandon the "Aiding the Accord" quest if it's in your Quest Log.
      Pick up the weekly quest from Therazal in central Valdrakken. As you can see, there are now three possible quests for you to receive that will change every week.

      The weekly quest options (and objectives) will always be the following:
      Dragon Isles Quest
      Participate in a Community Feast Participate in a Hunt Lay siege to Dragonbane Keep Zaralek Cavern Quest
      Protect the Researchers Under Fire Loot a Secured Shipment (Suffusion Camp) Complete a Time Rift Amirdrassil Quest
      Earn 50 Bloom during the Superbloom Complete a Superbloom Plant 3 Dreamseeds Quest Rewards
      After completing the weekly quest you will receive 1 Splintered Spark of Awakening) via Weekly Awakened Activity and a Cache of Awakened Storms (containing gold or gear).
      You will need two Splintered Spark of Awakening and 250 Flightstones to create one Spark of Awakening.
      Awakened Raid Bosses
      Apparently, Splintered Spark of Awakening have a chance to drop from Awakened Raid bosses, as spotted by @azatoth668!

      We'd like to introduce you to a game-changing nameplate addon for Season 4 that's essential for excelling in Mythic+ dungeons.
      Tracking every mob and their abilities in Mythic+ can be overwhelming, but this addon excels by replacing standard mob nameplates and cast bars to enhance your gameplay.
      Once installed, mobs with critical interrupts will display a thick orange cast bar, while less crucial ones will show a thinner yellow bar.

      Mobs with less crucial interrupts will have a thinner yellow cast bar.

      Additionally, any mobs that inflict heavy frontal cone damage are marked with an arrow and feature orange cast bars. A voice alert will also prompt you to move by announcing "front."

      The addon further assists by indicating non-interruptible spells that require crowd control with a purple cast bar and a vocal "cc" alert.

      For tanks, if you're not holding aggro, the nameplates of the mobs will turn red, quickly showing you which ones to target.

      There's also a handy visual cue on the cast bar, surrounded by a green border, signaling when you can interrupt an ability and your interrupt skill is off cooldown.

      Ready to try it out?
      You can download Quazii Plater here.
      For setup assistance, watch Quazii's comprehensive video guide.
      Quazii has also created a Mythic+ cheatsheet that details all critical abilities for Season 4 dungeons, available in a text format.

      Players are currently unable to catalyze gear from the Black Temple Timewalking cache into class set piece.
      It's unclear whether this limitation is a bug or an intended feature, but the gear obtained from completing this week's Black Temple Timewalking quest cannot be converted into a set piece using the Revival Catalyst, as reported on Reddit.
      I personally checked this at Antuka and can confirm that gear from the weekly quest cache cannot be catalyzed. I received the Grips of Damnation from the Essence boss yesterday, and found that the item was ineligible for conversion at the Catalyst.
