The single-target Windwalker Monk rotation is based on a priority system.

1. Tiger Palm if <5 Chi AND about to cap energy
2. Strike of the Windlord
3. Whirling Dragon Punch
4. Rising Sun Kick
5. Fists of Fury
6. Blackout Kick try not to overcap Teachings of the Monastery stacks
7. Spinning Crane Kick with Dance of Chi-Ji buff
8. Chi Burst
9. Crackling Jade Lightning try not to overcap Last Emperor's Capacitor stacks
10. Blackout Kick

Against multiple targets, you should make use of Storm, Earth, and Fire by using it once at the start of the fight and then using its next charge when Fists of Fury becomes available again. From then on, simply reuse it with Fists of Fury, making sure that you never let both of Earth, Storm, and Fire charges remain available.

Tiger Palm, Blackout Kick, and Rising Sun Kick apply a 15-second debuff on their target, called Mark of the Crane. Each instance of this debuff increases the damage of your Spinning Crane Kick (against any target) by 10%, up to 50%. Therefore, you should distribute these spells among your enemies in such a way as to keep the Mark of the Crane debuff up on as many targets as possible, up to 5.

Against multiple enemies, the rotation is also based on a priority system.

1. Tiger Palm if <5 Chi AND about to cap energy
2. Spinning Crane Kick with Dance of Chi-Ji buff
3. Rising Sun Kick then Whirling Dragon Punch
4. Strike of the Windlord
5. Crackling Jade Lightning try not to overcap Last Emperor's Capacitor stacks with Power of the Thunder King talented
6. Fists of Fury
7. Rising Sun Kick with Xuen's Battlegear buff and 4 or fewer targets
8. Jadefire Stomp
9. Spinning Crane Kick
10. Chi Burst
11. Blackout Kick

Touch of Karma is the only baseline defensive ability. This is often used as an offensive ability due to the damage being redirected back to your target. However, until you know you can comfortably use this offensively, it is always recommended that you only use it defensively. Very frequently, using it defensively is very similar to using it offensively.

Diffuse Magic reduces all Magic-classed damage on yourself while this is active. This also tries to dispel all Magic-classed debuffs on you and place them on the source.

Fortifying Brew while active, reduce the damage you take from all sources while also increasing your maximum health.
