Windwalker Monk

- There have been no major changes.
Modifications in patch 7.3
- Damage on some talents and abilities has been greatly increased.
Talents
Following the same line as the DK Frost guide, I will bring you several ways to face your enemies and different ways to develop the encounters, be it massive targets or just single-target encounters. As in the previous guide, choose the ones that you like the most or are close to your possibilities.
-Talents in yellow: they can become the best depending on which fights, in this case, they are the best for single-objective encounters.
-Talents in blue: you can choose them in case you do not like the ones that appear in yellow, there will not be much difference in the DPS.
-Talents in green: these talents are the best to do much more damage in areas, that is, encounters with more than three objectives.
- Level 15: Eye of the tiger.
- Level 30: Wish of the Tiger.
- Level 45: Powerful blows.
- Level 60: Leg Sweep.
- Level 75: Elixir of healing.
- Level 90: Combo of blows.
- Level 100: Serenity.
lvl 15
- Chi Burst (0,85s to cast / 30s cooldown): Hurls a stream of chi energy forward with a range of 40 yds, dealing (503.25% of attack power). Nature damage to all enemies and heals (412.5% of attack power). the monk and all the allies in his path.
- Eye of the Tiger (Passive Effect): Tiger Palm also applies Eye of the Tiger, dealing (172% of attack power). Nature damage to the enemy and (172% of attack power). healing to the monk over 8 sec.
- Wave of Chi (Instant / 15s cooldown): A wave of chi energy cuts through friend and foe alike. Deals (86.7% attack power) p. Nature damage or heals (150% attack power). of health. Bounce up to 7 times off targets within 25 yards.
Starting with the first branch of this specialization, Chi Burst (0,85s to cast / 30s cooldown), as the faculty itself explains, it damages all the enemies that we have in front of us after a short cast. This ability does a lot of damage and will help us feel better when seeing the damage counter in areas when we use it.
Eye of the Tiger (Passive Effect) It is the talent that you should use in single objective encounters since it is the only viable one in this branch.
Many people use Wave of Chi (Instant / 15s cooldown) but, honestly, it doesn't seem like the most correct option. If what we want is to do more damage, the above are better than Wave of Chi (Instant / 15s cooldown).
lvl 30
- Chi Torpedo (Instant / 20s reload / replaces Roll): Charge forward a long distance like a torpedo and increase your movement speed by 30% for 10 sec. Stacks up to 2 times.
- Tiger's Wish (Instant / 30s cooldown): Increases the movement speed of a friendly target by 70% for 6 sec and removes all root and snare effects.
- Haste (Passive Effect): Reduces the cooldown of Roll by 5 sec and increases its maximum number of charges by 1.
Personally, Chi Torpedo (Instant / 20s reload / replaces Roll) It is the talent that I use for any occasion although Tiger's Wish (Instant / 30s cooldown) is, perhaps, the best talent in the branch. Tiger's Wish (Instant / 30s cooldown) grants movement speed and removes all effects that affect our mobility while Chi Torpedo (Instant / 20s reload / replaces Roll) it just propels us farther and slightly increases movement speed.
Although for tastes colors and Haste (Passive Effect) it is not far behind. Perhaps the option of increasing the number of charges per minute seems more attractive, although, having the previous ones that are more useful, I would not use it.
lvl 45
- Invigorating Elixir (Instant / 45s cooldown): You swallow an invigorating elixir that replenishes your energy and chi.
- Ascension (Passive effect): Increases your maximum Chi by 1. and your energy regeneration 10%.
- Powerful Strikes (Passive Effect): Every 15 sec, your next Tiger Palm generates 1. of extra chi.
Invigorating Elixir (Instant / 45s cooldown) It is a talent that is used (like Empower Runes with the DK Frost) when we are drier in an encounter. If we find ourselves without available abilities, energy and chi points very often during combat, this talent will be the best option.
Ascension (Passive effect) It can be a good entry option since the number of faculties in an encounter increases considerably thanks to our energy regeneration but, without going into tedious and intelligible explanations, it does not seem the most appropriate faculty for this branch. Powerful Strikes (Passive Effect), even though I find it more attractive Ascension (Passive effect), is the most recommended option.
lvl 60
- Ring of Peace (Instant / 45s cooldown): Forms a Ring of Peace at the target location for 8 sec. Enemies that enter will be kicked out of the ring.
- Summon Black Ox Statue (Instant / 10s cooldown): Summons an effigy of Niuzao, the Black Ox, for 45 sec. Niuzao attacks your main target and provokes it. Additionally, he frequently Stomps, dealing damage to all nearby enemies.
- Leg Sweep (Instant / 45s cooldown): Knocks down all enemies within 5 yards and stuns them for 5 sec.
Ring of Peace (Instant / 45s cooldown) It can be used for PVP, leaving this aside, in a PVE combat it won't do us much good.
In case of being the one who holds the least and the one who receives the most, Summon Black Ox Statue (Instant / 10s cooldown) it gives us a small chance to perform devastating attacks without taking a single hit.
Leg Sweep (Instant / 45s cooldown) It is the most recommended option (at ease) in this branch since it is a stunning in area. I see it more feasible to use the previous one since we entertain the enemies for a longer time and what we do with this stun is the same but in a shorter period.
lvl 75
- Elixir of Healing (Instant / 30s cooldown / 2 max charges): You drink a healing elixir, healing you for 15% of your maximum health. Elixir of Healing will automatically activate if your health drops below 35% and you have a charge.
- Blur Magic (Instant / 1,5min cooldown): Reduces magic damage you take by 60% for 6 sec and transfers all damaging magic effects currently active to their original caster, if possible.
- Mitigate Damage (Instant / 2min cooldown): Reduces all damage you take by 20% to 50% for 10 sec. The reduction increases the greater the attack.
In this case, Elixir of Healing (Instant / 30s cooldown / 2 max charges) Is the best option. The other two are defensive cc that you can easily avoid.
lvl 90
- Rushing Jade Wind (Instant / 6s cooldown / 1 chi): Summons a tornado that swirls around you, dealing [(9) * (69% attack power)] p. damage over 6 sec to enemies within 8 yards.
- Summon Xuen, the White Tiger (Instant / 3min cooldown): Summons an effigy of Xuen, the White Tiger, for 45 sec. Xuen attacks your primary target, striking 3 enemies within 10 yards every 1 sec with Tiger Lightning, dealing (30% attack power) damage. Nature damage.
- Hit Combo (Passive Effect): Each consecutive attack that triggers Combo Strikes in a row deals 2% additional damage, stacking up to 6 times.
Hit Combo (Passive Effect) It grants us a large amount of damage in encounters, whether they are unique or in mass. If you're looking for more area damage, Rushing Jade Wind (Instant / 6s cooldown / 1 chi) It may be your talent, although I do not recommend it under any circumstances. Hit Combo (Passive Effect) it is the best option of this branch.
lvl 100
- Chi Orbit (Passive Effect): Every 5 sec an energy orb forms and rotates around you until hitting an enemy, dealing (172% attack power) damage. damage to all nearby enemies. You can have up to 4 orbs.
- Spinning Dragon Punch (Instant / 24s cooldown): Performs a devastating spinning upward attack, dealing [3 * (506.3% attack power)] p. damage to all nearby enemies. Can only be used while Fists of Fury and Rising Sun Kick are on cooldown.
- Serenity (Instant / 1,5min cooldown): You enter a state of physical and mental serenity for Delay 100 sec 8 sec. While like this, you deal 40% more damage and healing, and all Chi-consuming abilities are free and have 50% less cooldown.
In this case, Spinning Dragon Punch (Instant / 24s cooldown) He is my favorite talent mostly because of the character's movements (stupid, I know) and yet he is the best talent for area damage, dealing devastating damage on your enemies.
If you find yourself in single-target encounters, Serenity (Instant / 1,5min cooldown) It is the best talent since we can use it as a burst at the beginning of the match.
Artefact
Before attaching the image that will help you to make the best paths in your artifact weapon, I must warn you that at level 110 you will directly unlock Artifact Knowledge at level 41, obtaining an artifact point multiplier of 5.200.000 %. Perhaps it is best to wait at maximum level to worry about the roads and not waste a lot of time in this regard.

Practical tips
- For this monk specialization, always having chi points will be our main goal.
- Do not abuse the main attack Tiger palm since it doesn't do too much damage. We must bear in mind that it is the only faculty that grants chi points.
- When we start the match and have our first three combo points, Fists of fury it will be the first faculty that we will use. Every time we have it again, it will be our priority when spending the combo points.
- Rising Sun Tiger Kick It will be the second ability that we will use with which we consume chi points, since it is a skill with a great attack potential.
- Touch of karma It should be used if we know that we are going to receive damage and that it does not exceed the maximum range that it can withstand. All of this damage will be redirected to the enemy.
- By not having more powers of damage, Dark kick it will be our last option. Reserve at least two chi points until you have the other abilities active.
- Touch of death it should be used every time we have it active.
- Strike of the Wind Lord it is our active ability of our artifact weapon. It has a great attack potential and, in addition, it performs two attacks that are in area, damaging all enemies in a cone in front of us.
