This page is intended for players who are new to the game or class,have no intentions of raiding Mythic difficulty or simply want a morestraightforward way to play their specialization without being overwhelmedby the numerous subtleties and active abilities that need to be taken intoconsideration for optimal play.

Windwalker Monks are a melee DPS specialization that is viable in allsituations, providing strong priority and AoE damage, as well as havingsmooth and relatively easy to execute rotations.

Throughout the fight, you will need to manage Energy and Chi, your tworesources in order to get as many uses of your abilities as possible. You willhave to make sure not to cap and waste either of these resources while alsokeeping enough in store to allow immediate use of your abilities, as delayingsome can cost you considerable DPS.

If you are completely new to Windwalker and need more information on theabilities available to you, you can check out our Spell Summary page.

The following talent choices result in damage output that is close to thatof the most optimal talent choices, although the recommendations here lead toconsiderable ease-of-play.

Remember that you can easily import the talent tree below into the game witheither of the two "Copy Export String" buttons:

If you are looking for the absolute best talents for Windwalker, which donot compromise on performance for ease of use, you can find a more in-depthanalysis on our full talents page below.

Currently, you will want to prioritize secondary stats as follows:

1. Versatility;
2. Critical Strike;
3. Mastery;
4. Haste.

Keep in mind that Agility and weapon item levels increase the base damage of mostof your spells. Prioritize them over secondaries.

Against multiple targets, you should prioritize Haste after Mastery.

While the stat priority for classes is normally the same for both the EasyMode page and our full guide, subtle differences can still occur. If you want tosee the full explanation of the stat priority, as well as the absolute top choicesfor the priority, head to our full stats page below.

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

1. Never use the same ability twice in a row; if you find yourself facingthis choice, go to the next option in the list.
2. Use Tiger Palm if under 4 Chi and about to cap Energy.
3. Use Rising Sun Kick.
4. Use Fists of Fury.
5. Use Blackout Kick.
6. Use Whirling Dragon Punch.
7. Use Tiger Palm.

Against multiple targets, you should make use of Storm, Earth, and Fireby 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 itwith Fists of Fury, making sure that you never let both of Earth, Storm, andFire 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 ofyour Spinning Crane Kick (against any target) by 10%, up to 50%.Therefore, you should distribute these spells among your enemies in such a wayas to keep the Mark of the Crane debuff up on as many targets as possible,up to 6.

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

1. Use Whirling Dragon Punch.
2. Use Fists of Fury.
3. Use Rising Sun Kick if Whirling Dragon Punch is comingoff cooldown.
4. Use Spinning Crane Kick on 3 or more targets.
5. Use Rising Sun Kick.
6. Use Blackout Kick.
7. Use Tiger Palm.

For a more detailed and optimized version of thepriority list, you can find that on the rotation page.

As a Windwalker Monk, you have 2 DPS cooldowns by default, Invoke Xuen, the White Tiger and Storm, Earth, and Fire.

• Storm, Earth, and Fire should be used as often as possible whileattempting to stack it with other periods of increased damage done. Makesure you always have at least one of its charges on cooldown.
• Invoke Xuen, the White Tiger should be used as often as possible, usuallypaired with other DPS-increasing abilities and procs.
