Windwalker Monk DPS Battle of Dazar'alor Raid Guide — Dragonflight 10.2.5

This page will be a rough outline of the bosses and mechanics in the battle of Dazar'alor raid. This page will focus primarily on how a Windwalker Monk can optimize its performance on the raid bosses, and not on an actual raid strategy for the bosses. Initially, this page will focus on Heroic mode and lower, however, as more bosses are being killed on Mythic, the guide will also include optimizations for Mythic bosses.

It is easy to keep at least a stack of Storm, Earth, and Fire up whenever you are required to focus on adds. This makes you very versatile on this encounter. Place your Transcendence behind where the boss is being tanked whenever you move away to allow you to safely go back to it instantly without risking being cleaved.

We encourage you to pick Ring of Peace on this fight. This comes at the cost of slight survivability but will help a lot controlling the adds throughout the encounter.

Note: This boss is the second boss for Horde players, and the third boss for Alliance players. For the second Alliance boss (Jadefire Masters), see further below.

Make sure you keep placing Transcendence whenever you move away from Grong. Not only will this allow you to reposition instantly, but this ability is exceptional at guaranteeing you stop a knockback as well, saving more time.

Using Storm, Earth, and Fire on adds comes at a very small cost as a Windwalker Monk and will usually benefit your raid group more than trying to line it up perfectly with other cooldowns.

Depending on your strategy you should be attacking the boss that needs the most damage which will usually be the Monk, unless the Mage has Fire Shield up. It is useful to know as a Windwalker Monk that you can attack one target while focusing your Storm, Earth, and Fire clones on the other boss. This will allow you at times to maximize your efficiency while still applying damage where it is required.

You can cancel the knock up effect on Magma Traps by instantly using Transcendence. This will occasionally allow you to remove traps. Do not risk it and use the right defensive cooldowns for it.

In general, keeping track of where you have placed your Transcendence is paramount on this fight as your mobility as a Windwalker Monk make you an amazing asset to engage the bosses at difficult times.

Make sure you back away from Mekkatorque when he casts Blast Off to prevent taking damage.

Keep your Transcendence around the middle of the room to be able to position correctly whenever he teleports the raid. The rest of your mobility should be plenty enough to reposition out of line of sight with the bombs. This also allows you to teleport back easily afterwards.

Cleave damage is pointless as a Windwalker Monk on this fight, therefore it is very important you focus your Storm, Earth, and Fire clones on your main target to prevent them from moving around on the wrong one.

You can use Detox on Crawling Hex, however be sure you use it on players who had time to move out of the raid.
