General Information

On this page, we present you with the best gems and enchants for a Windwalker Monk in World of Warcraft Legion 7.2.5. We also list the best consumables (food, flasks, and potions) and profession-specific perks.

The other pages of our Windwalker Monk guide can be accessed from the table of contents on the right.

About Our Reviewer

This guide has been reviewed and approved by Babylonius, a prominent Windwalker Monk theorycrafter who maintains the Windwalker sections of Peak of Serenity. You can follow him on Twitter: @BabyloniusMonk.

1. Gems

You should use Saber's Eye of Agility in one socket, and Masterful Shadowruby in all other sockets.

2. Enchants

3. Consumables

Flask of the Seventh Demon should be used for raids along with Potion of the Old War (if using Serenity) or Potion of Prolonged Power (if using Whirling Dragon Punch) as your potion of choice. You should eat Lavish Suramar Feast for the buff to your Agility (or the cheaper Hearty Feast if you cannot afford the +500 food). Ancient Healing Potion can be used in place of Healthstones.

If you can afford it, you should also use the Legion augment rune: Defiled Augment Rune. Note that it now works in Mythic+ dungeons (it did not used to).
