For all you WW Monks out there i really need some help

I've been doing a few NH HC lately and just can't seem do very impressive DPS(yes I know we bottom 5 but still i'm still doing something wrong DPS wise).

Either I do the mechanics right and my DPS have to suffer because im always eating cakes,tables or killing lashers etc.

Maybe WW Monk just isn't for me so I'm prepared for a lashing?(hah!)

Here is my logs so any advice would be extremely grateful and helpful!

The first thing to do to see what you're doing wrong or right is to look at the WarcraftLogs Casts Timeline.

Here are your logs on Trilliax and let's try to break down your mistakes:

  1. You didn't start dpsing the boss until 7 seconds into the pull with various gaps in your dps uptime throughout the fight. Better dps uptime = better damage
  2. Your rotation is suboptimal with no karma usage. If you want to learn your rotations, you can always look at the top ww's logs for a general idea
  3. You may want to start investing into Tomes of Tranquil Mind or you can just Zen out real fast ;) to respec into different talents depending on the fight
  4. Your trinkets aren't the best. I suggest you try and farm a Chaos Talisman, Foci/Memento, or Arcanogolem Digit to further increase you dps
  5. Try and acquire the Nighthold 4 set

The good news is your secondary stats are correct. With a little bit more time and mastery, you'll get better in no time. Don't forget to join the Monk Discord if you have any more questions.

Farm a Chaos Talisman

Yeah because that's so easy

All damage you do as a WW comes from using Storm Earth and Fire correctly. You are literally using it as poorly as possible.

Before you use Storm earth and fire you need to make sure you have both strike of the windlord and fists of fury out of cooldown (don't delay them though, you should try to make them line up together), otherwise don't even bother wasting the charge of Storm earth and fire since it will be a giant dps loss. Stop using it at random.

As fists of fury is about to come out you should pop Storm earth and fire > rising sun kick > fists of fury > strike of the wind lord. Add some tiger palms here and there if needed. Always do 1 fists of fury and 1 strike of the windlord per storm earth and fire and you should be fine. Also, make sure you NEVER delay fists of fury ever.

Now lets talk about aoe. Keep an eye on the timer and a few seconds before adds spawn get to max Chi and start pooling energy. It is worth it to save storm earth & fire, strike of the windlord and the energy elixir for a few seconds if adds are about to spawn. Remember to do some tiger palms/blackout kicks to get some spinning crane kick stacks.

You also need to get a better transmog. Those boots don't match your transmog at all. What's the point of doing good dps if you don't look good doing it?

Thanks for easy explanation it helps a ton.

In preparation for fight get some Food(Lavish/Hearty Feast), Flask Seventh Demon and Defiled Augment Rune like usual.

  1. TP,TP,Horn of Valor(4511 Agility boost for 30sec),Potion Prolonged Power,SEF,RSK,FoF,SotW would that be optimal for the opener?

  2. Yes I have terrible taste and look like a Hobo Monk :P

Use Potion of prolonged power before you enter combat, that way you can use it again midway trough the fight.

Opener should be (with energy elixir and Whirling Dragon Punch):
TP -> ToD -> SEF+RSK -> EE+FoF -> SotW -> TP -> WDP with RSK coming off CD soon

I recommend reading http://www.peakofserenity.com/

It's a website created by the monk community that is pretty good.

Awesome thanks so much! Now just to train my muscle memory of pushing buttons

At first glance:

  1. whoever is logging your fights should turn on advanced combat logging

  2. you are using ToD after your burst window has ended. Your artifact traits make it so 10% of the damage you do while your target has ToD on them gets added to it. This means you want to line up ToD with at least a FoF or a Strike of the Windlord.

  3. you're using Spinning Crane Kick on one target. Don't do this.

You need 4set real fucking fast. you can easily drop 50+ilvl just to get 4set. that's how much dps it gives ya

I have 2 pieces so far. Cloak and gloves but they both 875.

Is it really worth it to drop so many iLvL just to get 3sec cooldown on RSK?

Its insane how much worth the 2 piece and 4 piece are. Most likely yes.
