Windwalker Monk DPS Guide — The War Within (11.0.5)
Welcome to our Windwalker Monk guide for World of Warcraft — The War Within (11.0.5). Here, you will learn how to play as a Windwalker Monk in both raids and Mythic+ dungeons: from the very beginning to maximizing your DPS.
Windwalker Monk Overview
The Windwalker specialization is a melee DPS spec that focuses on using Energy, converting it into Chi, and using that Chi to deal damage. Windwalker is an incredibly mobile spec with a very strong presence in M+ and PvP but historically lags beyond other specs in Raids.
Strengths and Weaknesses
- Stat scaling should be significantly improved, especially with Haste.
- Mobility remains nearly unparalleled, if not improved from Dragonflight.
- Burst damage should be significant during cooldown windows, which can be every 90 seconds depending on talents.
- Could be one of the top targets for Power Infusion.
- Talent choices to adjust for how much downtime you enjoy.
- Playstyle similar to Dragonflight.
- Little to no damage loss for switching targets.
- Reduced defensive ability with the loss of Dampen Harm.
- Reduced burst AOE potential without Fatal Flying Guillotine.
- Lacks an immunity or unique utility.
Windwalker Monk and Guide Changes for The War Within
Changes to Windwalker Monk in The War Within
The War Within Changes to Windwalker Monk
Windwalker Monk Class Changes
Shado-pan
- Added an energy tracker aura. This aura shows the player how much energy they have spent towards their next set of Flurry Strikes.
- Flurry Charges are no longer cancellable and no longer have a duration.
- Flurry Strikes unleash energy trigger threshold is now 240 energy (was 300).
- Flurry Strikes damage reduced by 8%.
- Flurry Strikes Accumulator Threshold increased by 47%.
- Wisdom of the Wall bonus effects duration reduced to 16 seconds (was 20%).
- Against All Odds duration reduced to 5 seconds (was 6 seconds).
Developer's note: The goal of these changes is to allow Shado-pan to activate Flurry Strikes more frequently and have a better understanding of when the Flurry Strikes are going to to be unleashed on their foes.
Windwalker
- Blackout Kick's damage increased by 20%.
- Flurry of Xuen damage increased by 40%.
- Fixed an issue that caused Courageous Impulse to incorrectly buff the damage of Blackout Kick by more than intended when multiple stacks are active.
- Fixed an issue that caused Courageous Impulse to incorrectly buff Teachings of the Monastery's Blackout Kicks.
Numerically these changes increase the damage of Shado-pan by around 3%, and less for Conduit of the Celestials. Functionally it makes tracking Flurry Strikes significantly easier, as well as procs happen more frequently while maintaining roughly the same level of power.
The buff to Flurry of Xuen has the "largest impact" as it should push Flurry of Xuen roughly equal to Hit Combo and slightly better if you occasionally make mistakes and drop Hit Combo.
Leveling a Windwalker Monk
If you want to play a Windwalker Monk but currently do not have one at max level, you can check out our leveling guide for tips on your journey.
Once you reach the max level, it can be somewhat overwhelming to completely change the way you play by suddenly implementing a large number of addons in a short space of time, especially if they have a heavy visual impact on your UI. We recommend using some of the more basic addons recommended on our Addons page below while leveling so that you have more time to get used to them during the easier phases of playing your class.
Basics of Windwalker Monk Gameplay
Windwalker Monk is a spec about managing resources and abilities with cooldowns at the same time. The primary concern for Windwalkers is to use Tiger Palm to convert Energy into Chi for abilities like Rising Sun Kick and Fists of Fury with as little of a delay as possible while not capping your Energy or Chi.
Windwalker will inherently have more resources than you can use on those two abilities, so Windwalkers need to learn how to adequately incorporate enough Blackout Kick into the rotation so as to not overflow with Chi, but not so much that you don't have the Chi necessary to cast Rising Sun Kick and Fists of Fury as soon as they are available.
The Windwalker Monk Mastery, Mastery: Combo Strikes, forces the Windwalkers to prepare and think several steps ahead, since they will want to avoid using Blackout Kick or Tiger Palm back to back, rather trying to weave them artfully between other abilities in order to get the maximum damage possible.
If you are a beginner to the spec, but would like to learn the basics of the class, recommend looking through the Spell Summary first, as well as the Easy Mode page linked below.
If you are already familiar with Windwalker, you can head to the Talents and Rotation pages to jump into the more complex, detailed information.
How to Gear Up as a Windwalker Monk
Gearing as a Windwalker is relatively simple; start by grabbing the highest item level pieces you can get. Once you have accomplished that, you will want to take a look at our dedicated Gear Guide for more information on how to optimize your character's gear for playing.
After your character's gear is taken care of, the next step is to maximize your damage through other means. One way to do this is through using consumables, gems, and enchants. For information about those additional aspects of maximizing your character, see our dedicated pages for what you need.
End-Game as a Windwalker Monk
Leveling and "end-game" content generally look very different. Regardless of what type of content you are interested in, we have pages dedicated to providing you with the information that you need to be successful.
Improving as a Windwalker Monk
Everyone struggles from time to time, but what's important is how you overcome those struggles. Here are some pages with information and frequently asked questions or mistakes that players make that you may find helpful in improving your own performance.
