Windwalker Monk DPS Stat Priority — Dragonflight 10.0.7
On this page, you will find out the optimal stat priority for your Windwalker Monk. We first present the stat priority, before delving into more complex explanations. Our content is updated for World of Warcraft — Dragonflight 10.0.7.
The Basics of Stats for Windwalker Monk
The stat priority for Windwalker Monks depends on the encounter type and your character's gear.
- Weapon Damage;
- Agility;
- Versatility and Critical Strike;
- Mastery
- Haste
Getting a Better Understanding of Windwalker Monk Stats
Agility is your primary statistic. You should look for it in all of your upgrades. It provides you with Attack Power, which determines the damage your abilities do.
Versatility increases all your damage and healing done, and decreases all damage taken.
Critical provides an increased chance on most of your spells to deal
double damage. Keep in mind this will not affect the damage from
Touch of Death and 
Touch of Karma.
Haste provides you with increased attack speed and
Energy regeneration, and reduces the cooldown of your
Fists of Fury and 
Rising Sun Kick.
Mastery (
Mastery: Combo Strikes) causes your abilities
to deal increased damage (the amount depends on your amount of Mastery) when
they are not used two or more times in a row. For example, using
Blackout Kick and 
Tiger Palm gives both of them the
damage bonus, but if you use Tiger Palm twice in a row, the second Tiger Palm
will no longer benefit from the increase.
Gems, Enchants, and Consumables
The gems, enchants, and consumables you will use are directly derived from your stat priority and you can find our advice on this topic in our dedicated page.
