Windwalker Monk Pre-Raid Gear Set
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 defensive stat priority for Windwalker Monk, following our Windwalker Monk Stats and Stat Priority Guide:
- Agility
- Hit and Expertise Rating (until 7.5% each);
- Haste Rating
- Critical Strike Rating
- 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 Best in Slot in our dedicated Windwalker Monk Best in Slot Gear guide.
Reforging
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.
