Best Hero Talents for Windwalker Monk in The War Within

This page is specifically about Hero Talents in The War Within. If you want to learn more about the best regular talents for Windwalker Monk, check out our Talents page:

1.1.

Raiding Hero Talents for Windwalker Monk

1.1.1.

Shado-Pan

Shado-Pan is our strongest Hero Talent for all scenarios, providing the highest single-target DPS by a reasonable margin while being very competitive on AoE.

1.1.2.

Conduit of the Celestials

Conduit of the Celestials's primary strength is burst damage, which it does slightly better than Shado-Pan. Whether or not this will be enough to merit swapping to Conduit of the Celestials will depend on fight design and what your group needs.

1.2.

Mythic+ Hero Talents for Windwalker Monk

1.2.1.

Shado-Pan

Shado-Pan is our strongest Hero Talent for all scenarios, providing the highest single-target DPS by a reasonable margin while being very competitive on AoE.

1.2.2.

Conduit of the Celestials

Conduit of the Celestials's primary strength is burst damage, which it does slightly better than Shado-Pan. This strength is very useful in Mythic+, which means it may be more useful in M+ than in Raids, but this will largely depend on the dungeon and how your group is pulling.

Hero Talents Rotation for Windwalker Monk

2.1.1.

Shado-Pan

Shado-Pan doesn't change the priority very much, putting a large emphasis on avoiding capping Energy since lost Energy is even more lost damage potential for Shado-Pan.

2.1.2.

Conduit of the Celestials

Conduit of the Celestials adds the ability Celestial Conduit Icon Celestial Conduit, which is something that you want to line up with other offensive cooldowns as much as you can. Due to its longer cooldown, you may benefit from holding it so that you can use it for more damage later. This will depend on the fight and timings.
