Windwalker Monk 7.3

Recommended Posts

Excited to see how this guide will change with the buff to the white tiger (May he watch over us) and the huge list of changes and buffs to SEF! I'm still leveling my monk, but I love the flow of the rotation and the style of the class.

The guides are currently being updated for 7.1.5! I just wanted to leave a few notes for all of our users that might be getting ready to leave a comment:

  • Some pages do not require updates. The "Last Updated" stat does not mean the page is out of date, it might just not have needed any changes. If you feel that it does, leave a comment telling us what needs changing and why.
  • The process will not happen immediately - some guides will be updated faster than others simply due to the number of resources available. Be patient, they'll be ready when you need them!
  • There might be some continuity errors when making small adjustments to large guide pages. If you do find one of these, just let us know in the comments and we'll get it fixed ASAP.
  • "Why have you not taken into account X buff to X ability?" - remember, just because something got buffed, it doesn't mean it is now automatically better than the other options!

As always, we want to thank you all for being patient while we get things updated and I'm always available to help you all if you need it :)

i noticed that you dont mention the legendary trinket that on use creates a massive aoe hit. may want to add it onto your legendary list. 

i got it the other day and went to look at its ranking compared to everything else i have. but its not listed. and i know it got buffed recently too

It's one of the best trinkets, but not the best legendary.  The Bracers, Belt, and Boots are all better, as well as Sephuz Secret if you can reliably get the proc on cd.

BiS lists aren't really useful with the advent of WF/TF gear.  It's only really relevant for legendaries and trinkets, but for other gear, there's too much variance in gear levels to say that X piece is always better than Y piece.

I'm guessing they probably wanted a similar Nighthold-only list similar to what some of the other guides have. I've put in a note for it, but as you say, it still won't be the 100% BiS list.

Saw the same mistake, its at the tier 7 talent. 

 

Quote

In this tier, we recommend using Whirling Dragon Punch Icon Whirling Dragon Punch if you have the Drinking Horn Cover Icon Drinking Horn Cover trinket, or if you are fighting 4 or fewer enemies (even without the trinket). If you are fighting 5+ enemies and lack the trinket, then you should use Serenity Icon Serenity. If you prefer an easier to play, less involved playstyle, you can choose Chi Orbit Icon Chi Orbit.

"In this tier, we recommend using Whirling Dragon Punch Icon Whirling Dragon Punch if you have the Drinking Horn Cover Icon Drinking Horn Cover wrists, or if you are fighting 4 or fewer enemies (even without the trinket). If you are fighting 5+ enemies and lack the trinket, then you should use Serenity Icon Serenity. If you prefer an easier to play, less involved playstyle, you can choose Chi Orbit Icon Chi Orbit."

In the Builds and Talents section, the guide says that if you have the Drinking Horn Cover Icon Drinking Horn Cover, you should always use Whirling Dragon Punch, but in the Gear, Legendaries, and Best in Slot, it says: "Drinking Horn Cover Icon Drinking Horn Cover is useful for all situations and is a great legendary item, provided you are using the Serenity Icon Serenity talent." 

It seems to me, that the second statement is the correct one, as it reflects the change to the wrists in 7.2 (That it now affects Serenity Icon Serenity

I might be wrong, but if so, I could use a little clarification :)

  5. IconTiger Claws (+2 item levels)
  6. IconStrength of Xuen (+1 item level)

I wonder why "everything else" is listed as +10 and +11? Perhaps those should be +0 and +1?

I was curious to find out if delaying Fists of Fury for a full 10 stacks of Transfer Power was important or not.  If this has been addressed, I apologize.  I looked over the guide a few times for this, but never saw it.  Also, thanks for putting the time into making this guide, and into answering forum questions.

No, it's generally not worth waiting to cast FoF with any certain amount of Transfer the Power Stacks.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

    • By Starym
      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
