Windwalker Monk PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets (Shadowlands / 9.0.5)

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 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 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 both 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 using as a Windwalker Monk.

• Head: Sinful Gladiator's Leather Helm
• Neck: Sinful Gladiator's Amulet
• Shoulders: Malodorous Gristle-Sown Spaulders
• Cloak: Sinful Gladiator's Shawl
• Chest: Sinful Gladiator's Leather Vest - This is a good slot to make a Versatility/Mastery legendary for.
• Wrists: Radiant Light Binders
• Hands: Sinful Gladiator's Leather Gloves
• Waist: Shadowhirl Waistwrap
• Legs: Sinful Gladiator's Leather Legwraps
• Feet: Sinful Gladiator's Leather Treads

• Ring 2: Hyperlight Band
• Two-Hand Weapon:Archon's Guiding Glaive

Note: It is important to be wearing 2 PvP trinkets. This will give you a Versatility boost that will increase your damage and healing.

Sinful Gladiator's Medallion is a mandatory trinket to have equipped at all times. This allows you to remove any crowd control on yourself. You will normally use this when you are stuck in crowd control and a teammate is at low health. Note, if you play a Human and are playing against a team with only stuns, Sinful Gladiator's Relentless Brooch is a better option.

Sinful Gladiator's Badge of Ferocity gives you Haste and has a 1-minute cooldown that increases your primary stat. This is great to use right before you activate a powerful cooldown.

Sinful Gladiator's Emblem increases your maximum health when used. This gives you an additional defensive when you think a team will be focusing you.

Sinful Gladiator's Insignia of Alacrity increases your Haste and has a chance to proc your primary stat. This is an overall strong trinket, as the stat will proc often throughout an arena match.
