Talents for Windwalker Monks
Midnight PvP Talent Builds for Windwalker Monk in Arena
This is the recommended PvP build for Windwalker Monks in 3v3 arena. This will give
you strong sustained and burst damage, with help from the
Shado-Pan tree.
Although your primary goal in Battleground Blitz is to damage, you want to make sure you are doing as much possible to the correct targets. This talent build will help you quickly kill enemy flag carriers or healers if they are out of position.
PvP Talents for Windwalker Monks
You can choose 3 of the following PvP talents. Each of them has their uses, but some are better for certain strategies than others. The top three choices are the most useful but can be replaced with other PvP talents depending on your team's goal.
Mandatory PvP Talents
Versus teams with melee on it,
Turbo Fists is a mandatory PvP talent.
This not only increases the damage of your
Fists of Fury, but it slows
enemies hit by it, and you Parry all attacks while it is channeling. This makes
it so you can use Fists of Fury aggressively for damage but also use it
defensively to prevent some incoming damage and slow an entire team.
Situational PvP Talents
Rising Dragon Sweep makes
Whirling Dragon Punch knock enemies into the air and fall slowly. This gives Windwalker an additional way to interrupt enemies from casting their spells.
Grapple Weapon disarms your enemy. This is a great choice versus
teams with melee on it. This should also be taken versus Death Knights. The
reason for this is that they will not be able to heal while they are
disarmed.
Absolute Serenity makes it so
Celestial Conduit prevents all crowd control for its duration. This guarantees your burst damage on your team's kill target without having to worry it will be stopped. Use this talent if you are playing
Conduit of the Celestials.
