Windwalker Monk PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets (Dragonflight / 10.0.7)
Choosing your gear carefully is important for your Windwalker Monk in PvP. We give you a stat priority to help you choose items with the right stats, followed by advice on how to choose your gear and your trinkets.
This page is part of our Windwalker Monk PvP Guide.
Stat Priority for Windwalker Monks in PvP
The stat priority for Windwalker Monk in PvP is as follows:
- Agility;
- Versatility;
- Mastery;
- Haste;
- Critical Strike.
Agility is the best stat in all situations. Versatility is the strongest
secondary stat at all times due to increasing your damage and reducing the amount
of damage you take. You should also try to focus on getting Mastery. This increases
the damage you deal when you do not repeat the previous ability
( Mastery: Combo Strikes).
Gear Recommendations
General Guidelines
In general, Windwalker Monks want to get trinkets that line up well with
Invoke Xuen, the White Tiger. These trinkets can have a passive or on-use
effect. The
stat you want to be increasing is Versatility. The reason you want to increase
Versatility is because it increases your overall damage. It is
also handy for increasing your healing when you need to use
Vivify to
stay alive. Here is the best gear we recommend you use as a Windwalker Monk.
