MoP Classic P5 Windwalker Monk Guide
Smooth dual-resource rotation; keep Tiger Palm and Rising Sun Kick debuffs up; stack Tigereye Brew to match high-value burst windows.
Core resource:Energy · Chi
Core Rotation
- Jab generates Chi; maintain Tiger Power and Rising Sun Kick debuff; fill with Blackout Kick.
- Avoid repeating the same ability and breaking Mastery benefit; consume free procs before capping resources.
- Use Tigereye Brew at high stacks with trinkets, potions, and boss vulnerability/key reinforcements.
Mechanics and Opener
- Energy and Chi：Energy generates Chi; Chi drives core abilities like Rising Sun Kick and Fists of Fury; capping either resource compresses subsequent combos.
- Tiger Power：Tiger Palm maintains armor debuff/self-buff and is the foundation for all target DPS; don't let it drop due to target swaps or AOE.
- Tigereye Brew：Consume Chi to build stacks, drink actively during trinket, potion, and high-value target windows; full stacks without drinking is a loss.
- -2 sec｜Potion; pre-cast Chi Wave/Xuen based on distance：Let ranged abilities contribute before contact.
- 0 sec｜Jab → Tiger Palm：Establish Tiger Power at the earliest opportunity.
- Afterwards｜Rising Sun Kick：Activate highest-priority short cooldowns and vulnerability.
- Resource Abundance｜Fists of Fury (confirm targets won't move)：Only a full channel yields high benefit.
- Procs ready/stacks sufficient｜Tigereye Brew + Energizing Brew, continue core kicks：Stack resource burst and damage multipliers.
Common Mistakes and WCL Review
- Waiting at full energy while Chi abilities are ready causes double loss.
- Storm, Earth, and Fire clones only on targets worth sustained damage; confirm no incorrect duplication.
- Energy/Chi overflow and repeated ability ratio.
- Tiger Power, Rising Sun Kick debuff uptime, and Tigereye Brew stacks/window value.
