Making a 19 twink Windwalker Monk

Justin

Legend
I really have not seen any guides or gear sets of any 19 twink WW monk and I just have a few questions.

First of all would Tauren be a viable race ?
2nd: Are Feet of the lynx Better than Cobranhn's Boots
3rd: Do i need forman's gloves or are Gloves of the fang good to
4th: is azure scale vest better than Looms chest
and lastly Do i go tigers lust or Momentum ?

Thanks for reading and i apaulogize if any of these questions seem dum to you ;)
 
yes i prefer belf over tauren, yes feet of the lynx are better, foreman's gloves, and azure or loom is really preference tbh, and chose momentum
 
As WW DPS, Momentum seems to be a great choice

Any sort of support Monk class, I'd prefer Tiger's Lust
 
Damage kinda of sucks in 5.2 since they nerfed their total damage by 10%

Undead or Belf, if you would like to be a fotm generic 19 go Belf for the silence/swag/sexiness. Undead would be my preference due to Undead's recently introduced racial which acts like lifestealing. Reason being for the same reason as crusader > 15 agi to wep.

Feet of the Lynx are better imo as the extra dodge, armor seems to be better on offense.

Foreman's gloves are a must, even if you're human.

Azure Scale is totally about preference whether you want more crit or not. Personally, I would use Azure Scale since you will more than likely have beyond the required amount of Hit Rating.

Momentum is the only viable choice for WW as you need that constant speed advantage for more time of target especially when the majority of your damage is based around auto attacks from your passive extra swing proc (forgot it's name). Tiger's Lust is really only a Brewmaster or Mistweaver talent, in my opinion, however it is always fun to try out new things so do as you please.


I would also like to add, if you aren't willing to faction change for the 2nd Signet Of Argas, I highly suggest trying your luck at the fishing competition on Sunday's for the Dread Pirate Ring. Until then, probably Legionnaires Band.

Good luck and see you in the gulch! :)
 
Hey,

Tauren isn't the best choice because the stun would DR your fist of fury. Better go for BE or UD. I prefer UD because wotf is really useful, while fear is the most used CC in this bracket. Also the new implemented lifestealing racial is really good for a squishy class without any heal ability like windwalker monk.

Feet of the Lynx are ofc better than cobrahn's. Keep in mind that 1 point Agility is > 1 point crit for windwalker monks. No matter what.

Foremans are the best choice for a windwalker monk. Go for it BUT imo you only should switch to them if you allready obtained AGM or reached 1,6k+ hp. As i said windwalker is really squishy and you dont want to get 2 shotted by a rogue. Even though expertise is an awesome stat for windwalker.

Azure scale vest is only better than the loom chest if you play with weaponchain (which i highly recommend. The 40 + hit are a must have for a windwalker monk. Our damage really relies on whitehits and the best burst happens with tiger strikes.)

Tigers Lust got buffed with 5.2 so its a good choice for windwalker now. Even though you will lose 1 GCD its awesome in Arenas + games vs a lot of mages / hunters. But for the most warsong games you should go with Momentum which provides the best mobility. For Arenas i go for Tigers Lust every time now. It's a strong rootbreaker + 70% movement speed which helps your team to score a kill or to survive.

Someone mentioned crusader > 15 agi for windwalker monk. Thats wrong. The +15 agi will provide 30 AP all time + some crit. You wont have to rely on the crusader procc (you allready have a lot proccs to pay attention for). The best weapons would be in Mainhand: Shadowfang enchanted with +15 agi and in Offhand the heirloom mace with a pyrium weaponchain. With the pyrium weaponchain you easily reach your whitehitcap. If you're not able to obtain a fang go with dual heirloom mace. People said that the heirloom sword is > the mace but its wrong. 1 crit < 2 haste as a windwalker monk. Will provide more sustained dps + more tiger strikes proccs.


Hope i could help you a bit.

Well I feel dumb lol, My main is a 90 windwalker monk >.>


EDIT: Just logged in to see, It's still 10%, but I can confirm that by 5.3 the damage will increase to 30%.

Not particularly, as has already been mentioned the stun would DR your fists of fury, the little bit of health is kind of useful I guess but there are certainly a lot better races.

I'd go for undead personally if you want to go horde, Touch of the Grave can be procced so much thanks to Tiger Strikes, obviously from the attack speed buff but also as far as I'm aware the extra hits can proc it as well. This means it gives a rather nice dps increase.

If you'd rather not go undead then blood elf would probably be your best bet for the silence.

2nd: Are Feet of the lynx Better than Cobranhn's Boots

Yes I believe they are, but Cobrahn's are of course a suitable alternative until a feet of the lynx appears on your AH


3rd: Do i need forman's gloves or are Gloves of the fang good to

I would also definitely go foreman's gloves. You don't want the first few punches of your fists of fury being dodged as people can then just jump away from you so expertise is VERY important imo.


4th: is azure scale vest better than Looms chest

Yes if you can get hit capped without the chest. Many people go for weapon chain offhand which would let you get to hit cap no problem.

Personally I still want to experiment without the weapon chain, Tiger strikes can proc from missed swings and the extra attacks from tiger strikes use the special attack hit table so it may not be as important as people currently think. That said it will probably still be the best option due to ww white hits being such a huge part of their dps. Plus if you are undead the extra hits will proc the racial passive more and therefor even more more damage.

and lastly Do i go tigers lust or Momentum ?

Tiger's Lust. Is gives more bonus speed than momentum, plus breaks you out of roots. Plus you can use it on a friendly target if required.

You COULD go momentum when solo-queueing bgs to get around faster, but I'd still choose Tiger's Lust for it's overall better utility.
 
WW monks are both viable and fun to play.
1. Tauren is viable but blood elf would be preferred if you're playing ww. Tauren's are better for a BM build.
2. I use both, I have a pair of cobrahn's with 7 agil, lynx with 7 agil and minor speed. It all depends on the scenario but generally you dont really need speed on boots since you have enough mobility with rolls and serpent kick.
3. Again it's preference but I'd say go with foreman's because the expertise is worth more then a little stamina.
4. Use azure vest if you're going with pyrium weapon chain on a boa. If not use loom chest.
5. You're definetly gonna want to go with momentum on this, It provides alot more mobility then tigers lust.

Yes ur insight was very helpfull the only reason I was wondering tauren is cause i always though warstomp was a very usefull ability to help out your healers and fc in clutch situation(however with the Dr on fists I could see that being a NoNo). And because while leveling the tauren monk i made to try it out A paire of the feet of the lynx dropped in my shadowfang keep So i needed of course and rolled a 100 :D and since they were in a dungeon they became soulbound. Thats why i just wanted to know if rolling tauren would really be a bad bad choice ?

And i got 1 questiion Nazzr i know you are like the most know WW ive seen your vids but do you ever have troubles getting the stun off for you're fists of fury ? to me it is very hard to get off in certain scenarios.

And okay I got the 2 loom maces with 15 agil right now so ur saying enchant the off hand with pyrium weapond chain ? Cause i culd see that being usefull but you are also loosing 15 agil then to right
 
Yeh it could be hard for you to land fists of fury because of minor laggs. But thats normal. For a save fist of fury you could use the serpent kick into fists. The 70% snare will stop enemys jumping out of your fists :) Maybe i will write a guide but i think my english is too crappy for doing it :D


imo the +40 hit are way > 15 agility :) you will need the whitehitcap. its just sooo good.

I'm pretty confident that if you wrote a guide there'd be people willing to read over and fix all of your english mistakes if you asked them, especially since you are such a well-known monk

Oh yes thats such a good idea the serpent kick slow is very usefull i bet even on a druid it could give you that split second to land the fists cause to me fists are a very good move not only to stun/interupt but do quite a bit of damage
