Windwalker Monk DPS Mythic+ Tips — The War Within (11.1.5)

NOTES: Shado-pan has a few options that can be changed around depending on your needs and preferences.

• Dual Threat replaces Xuen's Battlegear if using two 1H weapons.
• Brawler's Intensity, Drinking Horn Cover, and Spiritual Focus are both very close to each other, you can use what you are most comfortable with.
• Martial Mixture can be used in place of Energy Burst if you'd like to focus a little bit more on priority target damage.

NOTES: Conduit of the Celestials has two talent points that are competitive and offer you different options. The default import chooses both Fury of Xuen and Transfer the Power as recommendations for stronger single target, burst, and larger-target AOE. For the remaining options you can change either one or both of those talent points into any of the following options.

• Dual Threat should be used if you are using two 1-handed weapons.
• Last Emperor's Capacitor and Power of the Thunder King are strong options in situations with priority adds or damage amplifying phases.

Spear Hand Strike is your "kick" and your most important bit of utility in Mythic+, used to stop enemy casts for the benefit of the group and especially the tank. It is highly recommended to use a Focus Kick macro for this.

• /stopcasting
• /stopcasting
• /cast [@focus,exists,nodead][@mouseover,exists,nodead] [] Spear Hand Strike

This macro will kick your focus target if you have one, mouseover if you have no Focus target, and your target if you have neither of those.

To quickly set a focus target in hectic scenarios, we also recommend a Focus Mouseover macro.

• /focus [@mouseover]

Make sure that your UI shows your Focus Target's casts clearly so that you are always able to kick it on cooldown or in coordination with the rest of your group.

Leg Sweep is your "AoE stop". It will knock down all targets in a generous radius, stopping their casts.

Ring of Peace is one of the most useful abilities in the game when it comes to controlling enemies. It interrupts casts and allows them to be positioned better.

Paralysis is a useful long CC that is used to isolate targets so that they aren't involved in the fight. It can also be used as an interrupt if the other options aren't available.

Detox is a useful ability to help remove any poison or disease debuffs that may be present.
