WW monk best stat is now Versatility, stated in the patch notes in 7.3 Please update :)

This is unlikely to ever be listed in patch notes. It is also not true. Versatility is still one of the weakest stats in both ST and MT.

Do you people still play with 2xT19 or did you switch them to 930+ items from Sargeras/Mythic+? As a hc nighthold player I only have T19 with ilvl around 900. Should I change to 930-935 mastery-crit items? Or go legendary chest + one 930 item instead of 2set T19 and legendary boots especially in ST?

... Why there are no trinkets on the best-in-slot page? Kil'jaeden trinket is obviously the best, but the second one? Or the third one if people don't have the Kil'jaeden one?

All of this depends heavily on the gear available to you. I'd strongly recommend using Gear sims on Raidbots. It's a great way of just straight up comparing your options rather than running individual sims, which would be the alternative way of checking.

On the BiS trinkets, it once again depends on your gear. Certain trinkets fluctuate heavily depending on your current stat levels, especially any kind of static stick trinket. Eye of Command/Cradle are normally very high on ST. Vial of Toxins is pretty strong too.

Why isn't Kil'jaeden's Burning Wish even mentioned in the bis/legendary section?

It must have been removed by mistake during an update - I'll get it re-added!

The rotation section of the easy mode guide needs to be updated in certain parts. It still mentions how you should be using whirling dragon punch as part of the rotation when the level 100 talent being suggested is serenity. The easy mode guide is supposed to be about "TL;DR" and not have the player go to check the rest of the guide to see if WDP is actually worth choosing.

I've let the writer know, thanks! :)

Reading through easy mode guide and needs an update. Multi target part of rotations mentions storm, earth and fire as something you should use at start of fight. That ability is replaced if the person following this guide chose serenity. Also in the same section if the person chooses the talents suggested in this part of the guide, it mentions rushing jade wind which is also not mentioned as a talent that should be chosen. Finally, in the cooldowns section, storm, earth and fire is mentioned again even though serenity is the chosen replacement talent.

2. Tier 21 Set Bonuses

"The 4-piece Tier 20 Set Bonus is very good and you should aim to obtain it as soon as you can. That said, it is probably not worth taking the 2-piece Set Bonus until you can go directly to the 4-piece."

The 4-piece Tier 20 Set Bonus? Do you mean Tier 21? Lol

In the easy mode section, since whirling dragon punch was added back in as a talent choice (originally being serenity, which the guide was never updated to account for) where does WDP fit into the rotation now that it has made its reappearance in the guide since all previous mentions were removed?

It will likely rest under SotWL on the priority. Will ask for it to be added.

Use Trained Soldier - Satyr is an error, he forgot to update it.

Is the guide to Windwalker actually current? I thought the nerf to Fists of Fury meant it wasn't used in single target anymore? Which would mean Serenity would be the obvious pick of talents?

Fists of Fury is still a very powerful ability, and the only things that have a higher priority in Single Target are Touch of Death, Tiger Palm (IF you're about to cap energy and have less than 4 chi), and Rising Sun Kick, in that order.  Whirling Dragon Punch also seems to be the go-to talent (at least, for raiding that is).

Fair enough, thanks for the answer. Just wanted to make sure. ^^

According to my AMR build/T21), Strengh of Xuen is more powerful than Rising Winds. Why is it rated weaker?
 

3x Rising Winds ~ 2.073.000 DPS
3x Strengh of Xuen ~ 2.090.000 DPS

Ran you through Raidbots as well, got a similar result - it might just be due to a personal sim difference, since these are meant as "general" weights.

I used 2 Monks from WLogs (top parses on Garothi) and they both came out with Rising Winds being higher than Xuen, so it likely is just a gear thing. Try to change a piece of gear and adjust based on that.

The difference in your sims and the ones from the WLogs monks ended up being around 10K DPS (3.3K DPS per relic), so your choice will not be the end of your DPS.

In the "DPS Rotation" page, section 4.5.3, there is a semi-broken link.  It's supposed to link to a discussion about Energizing Elixir on "walkingthewind.com" but that domain now resolves to "peakofserenity.com".  The problem is that the rest of the URL gets stripped out, and the user ends up at a generic landing page.

After hunting around, I found where the link ought to be going to:  http://www.peakofserenity.com/windwalker/energizing-elixir/   Please update the URL's href in the guide.

      Today's hotfixes are still very Plunderstorm-heavy, but we do get fixes for more achievement-related mount issues and PvP catch-up, in addition to the limited time event's adjustments.
      March 27 (Source)
      Achievements
      Fixed bugs causing mounts related to A World Awoken to be unavailable, including Bestowed Ottuk Vanguard, Bestowed Trawling Mammoth, Bestowed Thunderspine Packleader, Bestowed Sandskimmer, Bestowed Ohuna Spotter, Coralscale Salamanther, Stormtouched Bruffalon, and Taivan. Player versus Player
      Fixed an issue that prevented Splintered Sparks of Dreams from dropping from PvP sources while eligible for catch-up. Plunderstorm
      The Storm’s fury swells! Lightning strikes during the final stage of the Storm are faster and more dangerous than before. There is now a delay of 20 seconds after being revived where players no longer drop collected Plunder. Additional enemies now spawn at Witherbark Village, the wild area northeast of Go’Shek Farm, and the wild area between Witherbark Village and Boulderfist Hall. Fixed an issue where swapping back to default sword and gun appearances were not saving correctly. Fixed an issue so that now, picking up an additional rank 2 spell while the same rank 2 spell is equipped properly grants the rank 4 version of the spell. The Captain’s Orders quest “X Marks the Spot” now requires 1 item to be picked up (was 2 items).

      Well that didn't take long! We found out someone had broken the 700,000 Plunder milestone yesterday evening, and we're already done with the full amount now! Soularpower_ managed to grind it out a couple of hours ago in duos, and grabbed the Plunderkind achievement, so huge congratulations! It's been a week and a day since the event was released, and despite there being plenty of Plunder drop buffs since then it's still great to see someone get it all done already. 


      Unsurprisingly, the first thing Soularpower_ after reaching that goal was... play more Plunderstorm! He's actually still at it if now you want to check the stream out.

      Here's our first post-patch look at the Mythic+ log rankings. While the patch didn't really touch any of the DPS or tank specs, there's still some movement there, especially in the raw DPS chart. Healers got some solid changes in the patch, and the definitely had an effect.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top percentiles are extremely stable, which makes sense since the patch didn't really bring any significant changes for DPS specs. We have to go down to number 7 to see the first bit of movement, as Destruction moves two up, leaving its fellow Warlock down in 9th, as Arms gets between them, gaining 3 spots. Havoc closes out the top 10 three down, and right behind it we find the newly buffed Elemental moving three up. While Augmentation is being properly calculated, we still find an Evoker in the bottom 3, as Devastation drops one down and takes Marksmanship's place.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      It took Shadow a little longer to get into the top in the generalist bracket, as we find it in 3rd now, pushing Outlaw down one. Balance also moves up, 2 spots into 6th, as it and Arms take advantage of Havoc's fall. The Demon Hunter finds itself 3 down in 9th, while Fury remains stable at the very end of the top 10.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      While Outlaw remains at the top, pretty much everything's changing beneath it. Shadow and Retribution joined forces and moved two up together, breaking into the top 3. Fire is also on the rise, gaining 3 spots, and right behind it we find another big leaper, as Arms moves a whopping 5 spots up.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
      All Percentiles Tank (Points)
      There's actually some solid movement here, as we see Paladin take 2nd away from DK and Druid take Monk down, with Warrior remaining in last place and DH being far ahead of the pack.
      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Healer (Points)
      Healers had some significant changes with the patch, but it hasn't stopped Monk from remaining at the top. Druid moves into 2nd, taking Discipline Priest down a peg, and it seems the Holy Priest patch reworks helped it out, as it gains a spot in 4th.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs and u.gg. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides, as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      In Dragonflight Season 4, Awakened/Fated raids will be on a weekly rotation.
      Upon accessing the Adventure Guide and navigating to the Raids section, you'll notice a green gem icon beside the raid that's Awakened for the current week.

      When a raid is Awakened, bosses are more powerful and loot drops are upgraded to a higher item level. The upcoming season revisits the Fated system introduced in Shadowlands Season 4.
    • By Staff
      We've already taken a look at all the items coming to the Trading Post next month, as the Season 4 PTR revealed them, but now let's see them in movement as well! MrGM has detailed everything coming in April, from the awesome Dreadwake mount to a pretty cool polearm, some new capes, and all the other pirate-themed items. Let's take a look. 

      If you'd rather just scroll through some images, you can head on to our original post here.
