[@petersolti8664]

Thanks!

[@marilyn4308]

u never gave me that overwatch beta key and than u showed ur ninja sword all because of me so..

[@UncleFelix]

Venruki , papa john blesses you.

[@Zonyxe]

I picked up my monk again in the pre-patch, and it's probably the most fun i've had so far out of any classes, and that's coming from someone who's played all classes and specs alot, but always preferred ranged dps classes. I think the combo strikes mastery mechanic is really fun, and is a huge upgrade to ww monks. Might even do pvp using the tips from your guide, well done mate, keep it up!

[@mrmickmassive]

I'd be bracing for a nerf. That burst damage is unhealable

[@NoName-tg8ly]

+Indecent (mickmassive) Well he didn't exactly pop any defensives.

[@mrmickmassive]

+No Name wouldn't have made a difference...ToD hadn't even done anything and FoF barely even hit and he was already dead. Both of those would earn through any defensive in the game bar immunities

[@Issa5G]

i love that i can hear a slight sound of metal in the background Pogchamp

[@TheKillRobot]

Hey dude, i just wanna say its an awesome start up guide, i dig your style, its a fast paced, clever and sharp thinking. Ty for the guide and keep up the awesome work!

[@zulphur8664]

Just looked up your WW guide trying to find ur old one for some advice then found this one posted 14 hours ago, PERFECT timing Ven. Keep it up, been watching ur stream when I get the chance to :P

[@nchershey]

Venruki I watched almost every guide for almost every spec and this was the best by far. Thanks bro

[@cmd4529]

Duels don't apply pvp stat templates or ability modifiers. Which is why people melt in duels to 1 ability combo. In arenas, modifiers reduce that crazy damage to something more manageable (which is tuned weekly if not daily at this point).

[@Evosion8900]

It seems like you can't apply Eye of the Tiger on multiple target, which in my opinion makes it rather weak. Not sure if it's the same on the beta. But on the pre-patch it seems to be this way.

[@Jayswag4103]

I believe you can with the spell that makes copy's of yourself

[@lurklimit8378]

could you do an artifact pathing for monk?

[@hedgat2388]

Need...

[@NethelorGSO]

Hey! Will someone explain to me why the overall preference for Eye of the Tiger instead of Chi Wave? On top of it providing more healing/damage, it's one more ability to fit into the combo strikes rotation! The only situations where i could see Eye of the TIger being better was if u could spread the DoT (therefore getting more healing as well, which u can't) and if u were fighting a class with too much kiting potential, not allowing u to get the bounces from Chi Wave off (the only class i can see giving is this trouble would be Mages and Hunters! Only 2 classes, and not even all their specs would give us that much trouble. Even against these classes a root/stun every 15 secs is not hard to get so it shouldnt be a problem of reliability) Now it would be a GCD wasted on something that could potential be worse than some other ability but then again, would it really? What i have been feeling lately and i've been running with WDP instead of Serenity is that there are quite a few moments in which i couldnt press anything risking i would reset the combo strikes stack, therefore, having that chi wave fit in is really helpful since it's 1 GCD worth of energy recovery. Now if u come with the argument that it ends up being up to personal preference, u might wanna have less buttons to press or something, you can't really afford to make that choice at the moment can you? considering the new mastery and the boost that combo strikes can give to ur damage, you need buttons to press, or else u create more and more moments where u simply have none! These are a number of reasons that have made me want to run Chi Wave every time and i've tried both in Skirms/BGs quite a few times. Please someone enlighten me! I have only played on prepatch so far so something might be different at lvl 110 with artifact and honor talents. If that's the case or if im missing something i would be thrilled to see what it is. Has been a pressing matter ever since the changes to Windwalker were announced :)

[@jessm3954]

i have chi wave for the same reason i find myself running out of abilities and having to reset but chi wave fits in lovely to fill in that dead air time and its not a bad damage ability either. i love wdp also in my rotation at lvl 100 (never played beta) i find myself leg sweeping into fof than chi burst into wdp. but once we have talent tree and fof stuns i would have to switch it to keep stun chain going.

[@crazygrenader22]

A big reason it isn't picked in arena is because it will break poly, sleep, charm, blind and sap effects. Not worth it to have an extra button to push you ask me.

[@michlecip649]

actually have done the math on it eye of the tiger actually heals more and the dps is higher as well. the problem with chi wave is that you cant control it. lets say a hunter freeze traps a guy and u cast it and it hits them then you now let them out. also it hits 7 times 1v1 it will hit the enemy 4 times u 3 times meaning healing isnt that high while damage is inconsistent because it will hit 2 people in arena plus split healing between you and your partner. eye of the tiger only heals you and only targets the person you attack making it my top choice just because of the control.

[@brandoncurl1425]

Thanks for the guide!! It'll really help for pre-patch and when legion drops. Please keep doing what you're doing!!

[@dancebiscuit8250]

Thanks Elliott, I am planning on maining WW in Legion, and this was really helpful

[@dhaenhuk9613]

that transfer the power move, it's 50% + the 16% from combo strikes + 40% from serenity if you do serenity. meaning 106% fof... pretty intense if they stack and Lord I hope it stacks

[@michlecip649]

plus 18% from mastery, so 124%. He didnt say it in the video but combo strikes is 16% plus 18% so it is actually a 34% to dps if you do not cast the same ability twice.

[@Tylergb2001]

Thanks Ven! Glad to see ww monks are still strong.

[@CutsByNick]

for pvp u wanna use whirling dragon punch with power strikes since power strikes works wonders with hit combo plus not having to replace storm eat and fire

[@marcobk123]

Thanks for the guide. Glad it's not as long as the guide for 6.2 though, haha! I really enjoy watching you play WW, but it's sad, that they've simplified them so much.. None the less, they're still fun. Love your stuff. Take care!

[@snacko30]

I love these guides that you make. They are so informative.

[@kyledegirolamo3551]

Transfer the powers was said to be merged to 1% per stack so 10 stacks is only 10% dmg increase compared to the 50% it says

[@jzg7890]

Definitely maining WW in this expansion as well! Great video, Ven!

[@JanKGames]

Thanks Ven! Been having trouble with WW but I find it insanely fun still!

[@kyleoneill7820]

This is a great and informative vid. Thanks for including the PVP talents. Keep it up!

[@AncientPVP]

Agree with all of these except for the Energizing Elixir, its fairly rare you run out of energy for more than 3 seconds so power strikes in my opinion is a better option for sustained damage and power for your burst.

[@appetizingly]

Serenity is so ridiculous right now, but hella fun at the same time lol. Great guide, Ven - has really given me some things to think about, might change a few things in my setup.

[@NoxDineen]

This actually makes me want to give WW a try on my (primarily MW) monk, thanks.

[@robertellison3864]

Now I wanna roll a windwalker again. Thanks for the guide Ven.

[@Minlownius]

Thanks alot, I've been looking for some insight on the Monk for Legion

[@jacobstrasbaugh5761]

Appreciate the guide, figured put something I could be doing a lot better from it! Btw steering the flying serpent kick is a beautiful thing haha.

[@gasmanlol]

I really enjoy playing Whirling Dragon Punch, but i can see serenity being amazing.

[@M0NG033]

Been playing windwalker since I watched your stream late last year. He's become my main character and I cant wait for Legion and what it brings for monk :)

[@TodoMonsterr]

Thanks for the guide ven looking forward to legion!

[@sethcooper4431]

Really looking forward to playing legion monk, the pre-patch changes seem so good and i haven't even had the chance to try Artifact weapon yet, so excited.

[@bradhorner]

Watching orc to the scared animation looks so funny. 14:25

[@LendorPlays]

Thank you been waiting on this video.

[@schoolyardboy1]

really great video. been looking for something like it for a while now. thanks much!

[@15VAT]

i'm really sorry, but i didn't get how to move with your Flying serpent kick , i mean turn around and everything like that. Can someone explain?

[@mummeliini123]

Disable doesn't count for Hit Combo, so if you blackout kick disable blackout kick, you lose the buff which I find kind of weird.

[@megaCamTV]

Thank you, this was very helpful. I just started a Monk and he's 100. I think I might make this my main in legion as it's a really fun class! Plus I love tanking and Brewmaster is awesome.

[@roflstomplolmao]

good vid y'all, you're such a marvellous spokesperson for the WoW community x

[@pawballer5426]

Great video, but would be nice to know some tricks or how to burst at lvl 100 (prepatch) because fists of fury doesnt stun

[@MrTankFodder]

Wouldn't chi wave synergise better with hit combo? It's another attack to weave in.

[@johnmichaelkane69]

thanks so much for the guide, haven't played the game for a while and was wondering if i wanna play ww again.

[@shrewtheimmortal7772]

Nice vid! That final icecream shirt though...

[@yewjuan93]

Venruki, May i know what Chi addon are you using? The one that appears on top of the target.

[@Skymore731]

Really nice guide! Helped alot. Keep up good work.

[@lukaszdellwiesio]

The best guide of guides ever seen.

[@WildlandsGG]

Great vid! Currently loving WDP as a talent because I get to keep SEF and the clones WDP with you, so makes for some nice burst. SEF clones also copy Chi Burst, so been running that as well and one-shotting people in SEF rotation.

[@MMOByte]

Hopefully we get to play with more than DK to be viable! Monk+Warrior please!

[@MMOByte]

Double windwalker + MW.

[@rabidappetite]

I've been trying out ww. thanks for this.

[@joshuaenglish2177]

I was using the same mog but the belt bothers me its like pink and the rest is dark red

[@rjskellz927]

I think eye of the tiger can only be applied on 1 target at a time.. Which makes chi wave work better for me..

[@dylancilloniz7349]

Man I have been waiting for this video!

[@Eroth]

Best Macro castsequence reset=7 Tiger Palm, Rising Sun Kick, Tiger Palm, Blackout kick, Tiger Palm, Fists of Fury, Tiger Palm, Rising Sun Kick, Whirling Dragon Punch, Tiger Palm, Blackout Kick, Tiger Palm, Spinning Crane Kick

[@infantrydlm5337]

WIll you be giving a Mistweaver 7.0 guide anytime soon Venruki?

[@twonatplus]

nice job venruki, could u make a short video to talk about when to use "Energizing elixir" ,please

[@homelesspanther6886]

This is the best monk guide I've seen thanks a lot man! -new sub

[@graysonekman6726]

Great video! I dont play monk but always nice to know whats going on with all the other classes!

[@SuperSminx]

does anyone know the name of the addon that shows his health and energy underneath this character

[@kusannagiRaizan]

How can i use the Touch of Death without canceling the freeze? When I`m doing so, an Auto attack is removing the paralyze

[@duchane1923]

Thanks for a good informative monk guide, you rock man

[@TatsuRyuByo]

@Venruki can you do a video for the way of the crane pvp dps ish honor talent for mist weaver?

[@pommeybiker]

mate this is great stuff, still waiting on the MW guide, i am very split between maximizing HPS or DPS, I dont know which to go yet and your guide will defo help me decide

[@11pearce11]

Rukilove awesome guide dude! Definitely going to be playing ww in legion!

[@chrisYcsc]

Legion looks sick been watching your gameplay on stream.. would love to test it on beta!

[@SnackzMcG]

Great video. Made me want to level my monk and strongly considering it for legion at least for an alt!

[@kh4otix537]

Thanks for the vid, was a huge help coming back to my monk!

[@MrRodrigofb]

Really cool video, always loved your monk videos.

[@shawnsbeard596]

Really looking forward to the monk changes :D

[@akryn2987]

Hey Venruki, Firstly, I wanted to say thank you for the WW content. Looking forward to much more for Legion. Great info in the video....I believe Eye of the Tiger can only be active on one target at a time, so it may not worth spreading on to multiple targets. Can anyone confirm this? Cheers.

[@Dylan-jl6el]

How did you change the damage text back to the pre WoD version

[@kidmanier]

Love your videos dude! Been watching your KZbin and your work you do with tournaments! Real great guy. Would be sick to win Beta! Thanks for taking your time to read this (:

[@EternalCodez]

Im either thinking windwalker monk or feral druid to main in legion, feral druids have good dmg and healing sustain with renewal and free healing touches and stuff but monks i just dont think have as much sustain but have good damage but just lack the healing that ferals have which puts me at a tight spot since i think monks are also really fun. Any tips or opinions?

[@1158Mahi]

monks are meant to kite

[@komp357]

nice guide have been maining monk in mop but quited in wod lets hope legion will be fun

[@tsoup4557]

Hey Venruki, what armor is on the thumbnail/ First second of the video

[@Vossen202]

Great vid fam! Always enjoy your ww monk guides =)

[@Ph0neutria]

Why not taking Chi Wave? It's extra button, but damage and healing is much better.

[@snacko30]

I've found that chi orbit does more dps than whirling dragon punch. in lvl 100 prepatch at least.

[@PaladinEter]

Thanks Vendaddy for making this guide!

[@BrendanJB]

Hey @venruki do you know if WW monks can still attack using their weapon? Like how we used to jab using our melee weapon like a sword unless you spec into glyph of Jab. I think it looks cooler to attack with the weapon but I'm not sure if I can since the patch.

[@Resperina]

Ven I love your monk stuff so much!

[@Rebonair]

want some notes of the burst combos

[@farceFacade]

That's a badass looking Orc Monk.

[@abdullaalturabi6526]

yo ven gr8t video. i have a question tho.. i'm still not used to the new hit combo stacking mechanic.. do u recommend castsequence macro-ing Tiger Palm and blackout kick for simply making my rotation easier?

[@TayzerLazerGames]

whirling Dragon punch imo is seriously important

[@tony98pastor]

New Fist of Fury animation is so great

[@michielxd3711]

So helpfull!!! Lets get a beta now and I'll try it myself. Keep up the good work ;-)

[@Sirium100]

thanks for the vid... thinking about maining ww monk in legion

[@gugustinettedistrokid3015]

Thanks Venruki ! :D This guide will help me so much.

[@Swindo2]

Yooo this was so good, ww looks like so much fun again! Also I really like that ice cream t-shirt lol.

[@keifer7]

yo E dog just wondering if you went left or right on the artifact weapon. Thanks homie

[@Anthony-bc9jc]

now I can't decide if I should play rogue or ww monk -__- thanks Ven! awesome video btw

[@Matt.Coates98]

Havnt been keeping up with beta too much, but this vid got me kinda pumped for monk in legion! Can we maybe see a MW guide? just a thought love the stream and vids keep it up dood

[@mainstonebirgir2767]

So is Storm, earth and fire no longer a cleave ability?

[@OmegaCreep]

Ty venruki! Really helped me learn the new monk :D

[@stefanosarmenis8477]

@venruki uhm what comps go well with ww in leg?

[@sweetr333]

thanks for the guide ven, great video

[@Nuijenetgaming]

Perfect! I'm lvling one and I'm currently at lvl 80!

[@Llignayr]

Are these talents (regular talents, not honor talents) also viable in the current prepatch as well? Or should WW monks be using other talents

[@hunterosborne2373]

And there is no weapon or stat enchanting or priority since it is all normalized?

[@kimonyannakou1472]

awesome guide !!! appreciate your work one question me and a mate wanting to pvp competitively in 2s arenas in legion whats a good comp with a ww monk
