What enchs should I have on my weapons? I'm playing with 2x ele force atm but idk if that's bis.
also should i be going max AP or stam?
 
recently made a monk and have been playing around with it. I was AP stacking then I went for a pretty decent amount of AP-stam and that is working out better so far. Elemental force does really consistent dmg but i get little burst with it so I went for DSx2, Mongoose/DS and Mongoosex2. So far dual mongoose is giving me that much needed burst and it is proccing a surprising amount. But between DS and mongoose I think it'll be per preference . I prefer mongoose (so far) personally. But I haven't played enough yet for a fair call between DS and Mongoose. Named Tsunni-US. couldn't link with my phone. Have fun.
 
DS should proc much more frequently than mongoose, so i'd suggest that over mongoose, and i think DS is slightly better than elemental force for WW since you aren't attacking nearly as frequently as say an assassination rogue which is the only spec i would consider elemental force over DS
 
Imo don't bother with a WW monk. I geared one and they have decent mobility but they hit next to nothing. They can easily be bursted down by any class. They are almost like a worse version of a warrior.

Yeah, after playing a couple bgs today I can completely agree with you. The max blackout kick I did was like 600.
 
DS will proc frequently but those burst problems will be negated a bit with Mongoose 90 agi-30 haste on proc. Monks get quite a few hits in. it won't be as frequent as DS but I'd say WW is the only class/spec that can put mongoose to proper use. It will proc more than you'd expect dual weilded. but yeah, they def lack burst but their damage output is more than decent.

Haha, I love how mw almost outdps the ww. If it wasn't for fist it would be pretty even. Mw hit harder with blackout kick by some hundred. :D
 
WW makes a fun FC in pugs, but thats about it.
 
I disagree with a lot of these posts. Now I have never played in a competitive setting, but I know from 10k hks of experience on my monk that they are useful, fun, have good damage, and are extremely mobile.

Serpent kicking into a group of enemies, silencing them with blood elf passive, and getting a fists of fury off is very devastating in the right situation. With Touch of Karma I feel strong against almost every class in the gulch.

I think the best way to play a WW monk is with a decent health pool, tigers lust, and with colossus, DS, EF, or Windsong.

I'm almost always competing with top 5 dps. I really don't understand the hate...WW monk has so many uses in PuGs such as:

1. Killing enemy efcs (Monk's mobility allows them to catch up to travel form druids if used correctly)
2. FC: built tank a WW monk can survive quite a lot of damage output with Fortifying brew and ToK
3. Great skirmisher/mid fighter: can catch out players who make positioning mistakes very easily
4. FC defense: With tigers lust, fists of fury, and your slow from FSK you can create great peel for a FC who needs kiting.

I suggest trying out double thrash blades with EF on them, as that's what I used for quite some time. With tiger swipes you'll be proccing numbers like a madman!
 
Trash blades have so low proc chance that its not worth losing the stats.

WW is perfectly viable class, its the only class at that level that can keep up with a druid.

As for enchants, double DS is BiS for it procs like a mfker.
 
It always amuses me when 24s post that they do fine in BGs. No shit, you 're a 24.

It would have happened if I had piped down, but I didn't. Sorry, TI just doesn't hold the same attraction for my efforts anymore.
 
Anyone here who says ww are weak are just doing it wrong... Sure, it's not exactly a 24 spriest/hunter/rogue, but you'll do well in 20-24 bgs if you have a well built twink and any idea on how to play it.

I'd use DS by the way, and aim at something like 2-2,5k hp at least. Then again, I haven't really tried other enchants a lot but ww with dual DS proc definitely packs a punch. Has a really good uptime too :)
