Mists of Pandaria Classic Windwalker Monk Gear and Best in Slot

Welcome to our guide on the Best-in-Slot (BiS) gear for Windwalker Monk! Here, you will find recommendations to help you optimize your gear for maximum damage and performance in raids and dungeons. Please note, that this BiS list is very likely to update a few times, due to the WoWSims simulation still being in Alpha state.

This is the stat priority for Windwalker Monk, following our Windwalker Monk Stats and Stat Priority Guide:

1. Agility
2. Hit and Expertise Rating (until 7.5% each);
3. Haste Rating
4. Critical Strike Rating
5. Mastery Rating

For more information on the best available gems and enchants, check out our Enchants and Gems Guide. You can find the Windwalker Monk Raid Pre-Raid Best in Slot in our dedicated Windwalker Monk Pre-Raid Best in Slot Gear guide.

Although we provide recommended reforging in the lists below, we also recommend installing the Reforgelite Classic addon to easily calculate your optimal reforging with any gear setup. It will automatically reforge your gear to your prefered stats in a couple clicks.
