Windwalker Monk DPS Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.3
Best Gems for Windwalker Monks
Keep in mind that for stat gems and enchants, you should always follow your stat weights. However, these are likely to be the correct choice for you.
You should use 
Leviathan's Eye of Agility in one socket, and
Masterful Sea Currant (or the cheaper 
Masterful Tidal Amethyst) in all
other sockets.
Best Enchants for Windwalker Monks
| Slot | Enchantment |
|---|---|
| Rings | |
| Weapon |
Note that for the weapon enchants, you do not want two of the same enchant.
Consumables for Windwalker Monks
Best Flasks and Potions for Windwalker
Greater Flask of the Currents should be used for raids along with
Superior Battle Potion of Agility as your potion of choice.
Best Food for Windwalker
You should eat the 131 Agility feasts 
Famine Evaluator And Snack Table
whenever possible.
Otherwise, eat the 93 Mastery food, 
Abyssal-Fried Rissole.
Augment Runes for Windwalker
If you can afford it, you should use 
Battle-Scarred Augment Runes to
increase your primary stat. Since there is a finite amount of these runes
available, you should make sure to use them wisely and to stock up on them
for when you need them.
Starting in patch 8.3 you can also use the re-usable
Lightning-Forged Augment Rune to increase your primary stat by an equal
amount.
