Windwalker Monk DPS Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — The War Within (11.0.5)
On this page, we list the best gems, enchants, flasks, potions, and food you can get for your Windwalker Monk, based on your stat priority. We also give budget alternatives. This page is updated for World of Warcraft — The War Within (11.0.5).
Enchants, Gems and Consumables for Windwalker Monk
This section specifically covers the optimal gems, enchants, food, and flasks to use for your character. To get a more detailed rundown of the different stats for Windwalker Monk, please visit our dedicated Stats page.
Profession Consumable Ranks
As part of Dragonflight's overhaul of Professions, many crafted items and consumables may have multiple ranks of quality that impact their effects. For consumables, there are potentially three ranks of an item that may be used, with Rank 3 items (shown as item level 415 in-game and with three gold stars) providing the most powerful bonuses. However, higher quality consumables will generally be more expensive and not always necessary depending on the content you are doing. You should be willing to use whatever rank of an item is most within your budget, and save higher-quality consumables for content where you will really need the extra boost!
If you would like to learn more about quality ranks on profession items, or the overhaul to professions as a whole, please see our overview below.
Best Gems for Windwalker Monks
Keep in mind that for stat gems and enchants, you should always follow your simulation results. However, it is likely that your best gem will be one with big Haste and Versatility.
