Windwalker Monk PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets — Midnight Season 1

The stat priority for Windwalker Monk in PvP is as follows:

1. Agility
2. Versatility
3. Mastery
4. Haste
5. 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).

In general, Windwalker Monks want to get trinkets that line up well with Zenith/ Invoke Xuen, the White Tiger if you are playing Conduit of the Celestials hero talent tree. 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.

• Head: Fearsome Visage of Ra-den's Chosen
• Neck: Thalassian Competitor's Amulet - Crafted with Versatility & Mastery
• Shoulders: Aurastones of Ra-den's Chosen

Note: It is essential to be wearing two PvP trinkets. This will give you a Stamina and stat boost that will increase your survivability.

As noted above, acquiring both your 2-set and 4-set bonus is crucial. It is important to note that ALL tier sets are nerfed to 33% effectiveness in PvP. Although this nerf is significant, tier sets are still important to acquire to maximize your chances of winning. Below is the Windwalker Monk tier set.

• 2-set: Strike of the Windlord and Whirling Dragon Punch's damage increased by 30%.
• 4-set: The cooldown of Strike of the Windlord and Whirling Dragon Punch are reduced by 5 seconds.

Embellishments are bonuses that can be put on crafted gear. These effects can have a drastic impact on the game. You are only allowed to have two Embellishments equipped at the same time. Here are the recommended Embellishments for Windwalker Monk:

• Prismatic Focusing Iris. This Embellishment causes your damaging spells and abilities to have a chance to deal damage to your target. This is a flat increase to your overall damage output. Craft this on both rings or your neck.

Here are the best enchants for a Windwalker Monk:

• Helmet: Enchant Helm - Blessing of Speed

• Legs: Forest Hunter's Armor Kit
• Boots: Enchant Boots - Farstrider's Hunt
