Windwalker Monk DPS Castle Nathria Raid Guide — Dragonflight 10.2.5

Advice for bosses was given based on Shadowlands Season 4, so they are not adjusted for Dragonflight Pre-Patch, although adjustments needed should be minimal.

In this section, you will find information and guidance for each boss individually in Castle Nathria as a Windwalker Monk. These are not complete encounter guides, but rather provide specific tips for any Windwalker Monk on each boss.

You can easily import the talent tree below into the game with the following string:

• B0QAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAESkkElISSAAAAAJJkAASSgDkSkISIRkkEaJAAAA

Due to the repeated periods of downtime as you hide from the boss, it may be difficult or annoying to keep up Hit Combo. However, you do also run the risk of getting a Dance of Chi-Ji proc right before the boss is unhittable, which diminishes the value of that talent too, so you can choose what you would prefer.

We advise you to use the following Legendary against Shriekwing: Invoker's Delight.

• Run out when you get an arrow over your head, drop puddles out of the way.
• Avoid Echoing Screech and avoid white circles bouncing around.
• Do not worry about DPSing during the 2nd phase, just stand away and help heal.

For more information, please refer to our Shriekwing guide.

We advise you to use the following Legendary against Huntsman Altimor: Invoker's Delight.

• Do not be afraid to stand and heal others or the shades so that they do not reach the boss. Every little bit helps if your group is struggling with that.
• Keep Transcendence near the boss to get back to him if you have to move out for any mechanics

For more information, please refer to our Huntsman Altimor guide.

We advise you to use the following Legendary against Hungering Destroyer: Invoker's Delight.

• Resist the urge to move around like melee often do.
• Use Windwalker's extraordinary mobility to drop mechanics as far away as possible.
• Keep Transcendence near the boss to teleport back.

For more information, please refer to our Hungering Destroyer guide.

We advise you to use the following Legendary against Artificer Xy'Mox: Invoker's Delight.

• If you have to kite a ghost, do not worry too much about DPSing; just stay alive and watch things on the ground

For more information, please refer to our Artificer Xy'Mox guide.

If there was ever a fight to use Jade Ignition, it is this one, but Invoker's Delight will help put the damage into the correct targets better.

We advise you to use the following Legendary against Sun King's Salvation: Invoker's Delight.

• It is a healing fight, do not be afraid to spend downtime helping to heal. It is small, but it is better than 0.
• Kill Priority: Soul Infusers > Occultists > Assassins > Vanquishers
• Focus Soul Infusers, slow, stun, etc. Stop them from getting to the stage.
• Prioritize high priority adds over just padding on all the targets.
• Move out if you get targeted by the Assassins.

• Damage the Shade as much as you can
• Do not get hit by frontal cleave.
• Damage phoenixes if they are close, but it is unlikely that you will be worrying much about them.

For more information, please refer to our Sun King's Salvation guide.

Your talent choices will depend on where your group needs the damage the most.

We advise you to use the following Legendary against Lady Inerva Darkvein: Invoker's Delight.

• Windwalker mobility makes getting to and from mechanics super easy.
• Focus adds down when needed.
• Not a ton of Windwalker specific tips, the fight is rather straightforward and mechanical.

For more information, please refer to our Lady Inerva Darkvein guide.

We advise you to use the following Legendary against The Council of Blood: Invoker's Delight.

• Do not bother with cleaving, they get healed when one dies.
• Maintain Spinning Crane Kick debuffs on each target for a slight increase in single-target damage.
• Seriously do not bother cleaving.
• Use your copious movement to get to your spot for the dance.
• Do not bother with movement abilities once you are in your spot.
• Preset Transcendence to get back to the bosses when they can be damaged again.
• Burn down Dutiful Attendant.
