Great guide:) I do have one suggestion tho, I think you'd benefit greatly and it would help your channel immensely if you set up a script for your guides. It would definitely help convey your thoughts and opinions in a much more convincing manner.
Thanks! That's a really good suggestion, and I'll probably start using some format if not a script specifically (or rather, a script "outline" rather than a word for word script) if I can. :)
Well I normally don't mention key bindings because everyone finds different setups best for them. However, I would recommend keeping abilities you use constantly within reach, so spells like Tiger Palm and Blackout Kick, as well as of course Rising Sun Kick, Fists of Fury, Spinning Crane Kick (not always as important), Strike of the Windlord, Crackling Jade Lightning (ONLY if you are using the chest legendary), and Whirling Dragon Punch if you're using that talent. Other abilities you might consider keeping close or easily accessible are Touch of Karma, Storm, Earth, and Fire/Serenity, and Touch of Death, but as these are cooldowns and pressed less frequently than the rotation buttons above, you can put them a bit further if you want. What defines "within reach" depends on your keyboard and your hand position/size/etc but generally things like numbers 1-5, z, ` or ~, x, c, a, q, e, r, f, and sometimes F1-F4. Again, these are just some examples and may not work for everyone. There's also the possibility of using Shift or Ctrl or Alt plus these keys for more keybinds that are close by! So for example, I use 1 for Whirling Dragon Punch, 2 for Fists of Fury, 3 for Rising Sun Kick, 4 for Blackout Kick, 5 for Tiger Palm, 6 for Spinning Crane Kick, Shift+1 for Touch of Death, Shift+2 for Strike of the Windlord, Shift+3 for Storm, Earth, and Fire/Serenity, and a mouse button for Touch of Karma. I have other things bound, like Energizing Elixir on V, Flying Serpent Kick on T, and Tiger's Lust on Shift+V, as well as my interrupt on F1, Chi Wave/Chi Burst on F2, Leg Sweep/Ring of Peace on F3, Paralysis on F4, and Healing Elixir/DIffuse Magic/Dampen Harm on F5 as I don't use that as much. I keep things like pots further away on Ctrl+4 so I don't accidentally press it, but it's not super far away either. These are probably not what people would call "ideal" and I don't have much reasoning for the specific placements other than I put stuff, tried it out, and ended up getting used to it this way, so that's what I would recommend. Hope this gives you an idea to start with! :)
No worries! There's a brief overview of them at the end of this video (you can use the timestamp to check it out), and I have a list of them here: pastebin.com/AYMbDpMq Hope this helps!
Hey man. Thanx for your work ! Wanted to ask what legendaries can u suggest for your mythic + and antorous. Always interesting to listen to a new opinion !
No problem, I'm glad you liked it! As far as legendaries go, it's less distinctive between Antorus and M+ and more like The Wind Blows plus The Emperor's Capacitor for single target, and Drinking Horn Cover plus either The Wind Blows or Katsuo's Eclipse for AoE. The helm only takes this spot with the new T21 4pc bonus though, I believe. You can mix and match what works for you, as well as what fights/affixes/etc you might be facing. For example, on Portal Keeper Hasabel you might wear Drinking Horn Cover for AoE if you stay down the whole fight, and then probably pair that with The Wind Blows, since the helm is good for both ST and AoE. If you go up to the portals though, you might swap out the wrists for The Emperor's Capacitor instead. There are cases for other legendaries too, like Cinidaria on fights that have constantly spawning adds, since they'll constantly proc its effect, but generally I recommend the four mentioned above, and really just the three without the boots are what I would recommend. Hope this helps! :)
You're very welcome! The Chi bar is the default bar, but I use a script to move it and enlarge it. I'll post the script and explanation here, but you can also use an addon called Move Anything to move anything on your UI anywhere you like (I don't use it currently but it's really useful from what I understand). Hope this helps! :) Here's the script: /script MonkHarmonyBarFrame:SetScale(1.2) /script MonkHarmonyBarFrame:ClearAllPoints(); MonkHarmonyBarFrame:SetPoint("CENTER", UIParent, "CENTER", 0, -80) To adjust the size, change the number that is currently "2" at the end of the first line into whatever size you'd like it to be. For moving it around, change the coordinates at the end of the second line (currently 0,-80) to wherever you'd like it to be. As a script, you have to click on the macro on your bars every time you reload your UI, log in, and exit game etc, so it's not as convenient as an addon, but it's there!
Any idea how to make macro for Energizing Elixir->Rising->Fists->Whirling , so it works then ever available , been trying hard to make that macro, works at start but then kick is usable it wont use it...pls help
Mmmm, I think it'd have to be some sort of cast sequence macro, which I haven't used in ages...I generally just use macros to put stuff together that's off the global cooldown. Unfortunately I don't know how to work those anymore... Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but I hope you find a way! :(
First of all than you for the guide.Second can you please tell me how you you made the icon that shows the last ability you used?If its weakauras please give me a brief explanation.
You're very welcome for the guide, glad you liked it! The last ability used for Windwalkers I didn't make, I found it some time ago, but you can import the WA here: pastebin.com/edit/MVALDxdc Just Ctrl+F and search Windwalker, the Energy Bar WA I made is there too. The Energy Bar is listed under "Energy Bar" and the other is listed under something like "Hit Combo Last Hit tracker" so you can pick both of those up (remember to just import the giant blocks of text, not the labels above them :P). Hope this helps! :)
That's actually the default chi bar, I use a script to move and enlarge it. Another option to move it is the addon MoveAnything which allows you to move just about every part of the UI (I don't have it but I hear it's really good). I'll post the script and explanation here, hope it helps! Chi Frame Script: /script MonkHarmonyBarFrame:SetScale(1.2) /script MonkHarmonyBarFrame:ClearAllPoints(); MonkHarmonyBarFrame:SetPoint("CENTER", UIParent, "CENTER", 0, -80) To adjust the size, change the number that is currently "2" at the end of the first line into whatever size you'd like it to be. For moving it around, change the coordinates at the end of the second line (currently 0,-80) to wherever you'd like it to be. As a script, you have to click on the macro on your bars every time you reload your UI, log in, and exit game etc, so it's not as convenient as an addon, but it's there!
It's from Weak Auras 2 and it's the Runes texture I believe. I also use the same texture in Quartz 3 for my cast bars on all my toons as well. Hope this helps! :)
Hmm odd....I just updated it in light of this, but I'll paste it here as well. Do note that since the trigger is "Action Usable" that it will disappear when you have fewer than 3 Chi outside of Serenity: dyt4daGAsj1ljvzxKszBerZMWnjLQBRKDQO9I2nu7xO(POsdti9BPAWky4uQdQqLtjkXXOKtlzHsrxMQfRqz5k1dfIEkyzKINtYNiLWuPyYe10vTisL6QKs0Ziv11f51Ik(RuAZePTlf(iPIoPOKMMOQVte(mepgsJwumErPUePKClfQ6AkKZlewjPsoSGrrQW0IgcfNsgvYr51NGIGgTLxBA0qyrqMGmneqtQ3xgp7tqAcJ(QJ1rwIh2(tBC8Go9d2UqezpHVo0nyxyCHrIhIChWE8GEfAo6olXdowoEiwxX6Iqc)DHG4BAiOSDHygwoNwrTgLxsEcb0xnCZUqq8T27YoNJ3kkHa6Rowrdb1d7tdb5ElIOlbhJaIOlrBa9vhtqLPlbpbPfUuzOHGCVfr0LGJrqU3IMuVVytEEcFxii(MgcpcBNG6HNuesyVHJpHq6DcEdhFcJd9vhhpOLQWycNaoSCfnCAraY4LiH1cv8GolPNNW2dcW2fIzy5ea7cJlms8qK7a2Jh0RqZHqs5TkBxiMHLZMeu2UqKvzfnCAXPMOJYhvsEcOj17R2mLSt41YLju3xZWY5mkHKYBR7Rzy5SjHKYBt46SjbLTleZWY50kQ1O8sYtiJxizoN6RHGOhKPHqHr29KnnewjXlA45j8GWXNgcRK4fn88eu2okneufgr4CQppHheo(AOHWkjErdppHDx40qyLeVOHNNGCjvAHMepcAiSsIx0WZtyhqDAiSsIx0WZtWUH9dchFAiSsIx0WZtqAa9vhtdHvs8IgEEcOIGsrdbvHreobTN7upEcjL3QSDu2Kqs5TOIGsXM8e2os1XMiSDcfAhtaNwMDHG4BfNweYoxPsv(50sZic3Z(we0kucLmbWUW4cJepe5oG94b9k0CieKLRxDCq0(DHG4Bfn8eKOKFgo1xdb5sP1jm6RgoHGqqiICLkv5NtlRrekC9w1d77YCAXtObNw51yXtca Hope this helps!
So i basicaly started playing wow 15 days ago im 110 ilvl 915 and yesterday i got this Cenedril, Reflector of Hatred. According to icy veins its a great single target dps item but i have no idea how to implement the touch of karma to my play rotation ( your rotation ;) ). Do you have any advice?
First off, welcome to WoW, I hope you're enjoying the game! Cenedril is all about Touch of Karma, which is your baseline defensive cooldown, but it can be used offensively as well. What you end up having to do is either find high damage periods to use Touch of Karma and deal extra damage that way, or purposely stand in a bit of damage until Touch of Karma is used up (and then get out of the avoidable damage of course, so you don't die). What I recommend is finding a way to track the absorb amount left on Touch of Karma, either through some monk-specific addon (I don't know any though, so you'd have to find one) or through Weak Auras 2 (you could either make one or find a Weak Aura that someone has made for it, I can play with it when I get back later today but I don't have one yet). This way you can make sure you're using Touch of Karma close to on cooldown during a fight to ensure you're getting DPS value from it without accidentally dying because you stay too long in a damaging mechanic. Also, be aware that using Touch of Karma offensively means you won't always have it defensively in emergencies or for planned mechanics, so don't forget to save it for unavoidable damage if necessary! The only other note I can make is to make sure the damage you're taking on purpose when Touch of Karma is active does not wipe the party or raid. For example, on the last boss in Vault of the Wardens, you could take a glaive hit with Karma or something to do more damage, but if you got hit by it close to other people, the damage splashes and you could potentially kill people, which I wouldn't recommend doing. tl;dr In terms of offense, use Touch of Karma basically on cooldown and make sure to take enough damage to use all of its absorb each time. Don't wipe the group to doing this, and don't die to extra damage by staying in something bad too long. Also save Touch of Karma if you need it defensively for a specific mechanic of the fight. Hope this helps a bit! If you do get Weak Auras 2 and want an example Weak Aura for it, let me know and I'll try to whip something up for you! :D
Wow, never expected such a well written response in that short time :d Thanks alot! Il go and check out weak auras 2 and find out how it works! That sound awesome, keeping track of the time while karma is up! Again, Thanks! You just got yourself another sub :d Edit : I managed just to make a smallcountdown on my touch of karma during the 10 seconds it lasts. However i cant find any addons just for that spell, just a few people asking for one :D I have no idea how to program the addon to show me how much of the "shield" theres left though :d
No problem, happy to help! Thanks for the sub, I appreciate it! As far as the WA goes, I made this simple one (there doesn't appear to be an absorb "amount" listed on the buff itself like with Prot Warrior's Ignore Pain, so I instead made this to show when Touch of Karma is active). It's probably very similar to yours, and what you can do with it is once the debuff disappears, you know your absorb is gone so stop taking the extra damage once it's gone. It's not as perfect as having a real absorb amount listed but should work for simple purposes like knowing when Karma is active and when it's been fully used. You can change the size and position in the Display tab if you need to. Hope this helps! dqdDcaGAbsRNufVuISlbQTjOmBIUPG4Bcs7KG9Q2nv2pq9tjQHrQQgNqyOcedwsnCGCqHuhdvwOeAPcGflKSCP8qsv6PqlJu8CkMQOjljth5IcQUmkxNQ2OaQFtYMrvTDsPBlvNg00eI(Uq1Jb8zcnAsLXluUKa0TeqUMeCEuf)fvPNrQkhMsp35iCHWkWfQMignJAcUqWro2hRgRohjwmIlWkhHq9WwGRWyf0euVdGGAzJwPCeWBivpzXOXrlab1YYguuK1crvXwiqC6FKAqrrw7Cuf3v2j55IJgDQ4LDJgDQ4LDrdqqTSrNTZmNlWnMkpGoW1k(GRlzBD700iXIrCbrbD0OEdxidpaJsLT6CKSsMJ0Co29scEonnswjZrNJDVKGNttJasRXCoAGorjBmKYcLMgBkj7CS7Le8CAAe6eBkpOZXUxsWZPPXkiF(qaVK45CS7Le8CAASzbyNJDVKGNttJ8Taeu5oh7EjbpNMg9ggVgqmGloAaXaohnqNOKTG(MgbPfezLmhDo29scEonn6nmEbKwJ5ItJnMiu5sEaXgHak3OZ3ZguuK1mlWnsSye3yabnkkvXV4iSAmvEaDGRv8bxxY26wW1rhLr1IAe6GeVgY2iw1cCtJ2ZXu5b0bUwXhCDjBRBxiScCHQjIPrTlWfPgUPha
Well, right now with top tier setups (as you mentioned), WDP seems to be getting better results. However, as I have always tried to tell people this expansion, no matter which has the edge (WDP or Serenity), play with what you're more comfortable with. I have come across a lot of people who do better with the "weaker" talent because they know how to use it much better than the other, so I suggest playing what gets you better results for now. If you're interested in learning to use WDP, it'll take time and practice, but if you're looking for better results sooner, stick with Serenity if that feels and performs better for you right now. Hope this helps! :)
meralonne Thank you i guess i will stick with serenity it helps alot with chi starvation and i tend to be good at timing serenity to match my other cds. Do you think you could give me ur weakaura? Thanks for the tip :)
I'll be making a video specifically about Serenity soon! I fiddled with the idea of putting both in this video but decided it would be too long of a video overall, so I'll be making an update to the Serenity-specific video and uploading that in the near future, hopefully it'll help! :)

meralonne No problem! Thanks for putting time into your videos for us:).
Really good guide :), but wat about key bindings is there any that u suggest and that would be helpful?
Well I normally don't mention key bindings because everyone finds different setups best for them. However, I would recommend keeping abilities you use constantly within reach, so spells like Tiger Palm and Blackout Kick, as well as of course Rising Sun Kick, Fists of Fury, Spinning Crane Kick (not always as important), Strike of the Windlord, Crackling Jade Lightning (ONLY if you are using the chest legendary), and Whirling Dragon Punch if you're using that talent.
Other abilities you might consider keeping close or easily accessible are Touch of Karma, Storm, Earth, and Fire/Serenity, and Touch of Death, but as these are cooldowns and pressed less frequently than the rotation buttons above, you can put them a bit further if you want.
What defines "within reach" depends on your keyboard and your hand position/size/etc but generally things like numbers 1-5, z, ` or ~, x, c, a, q, e, r, f, and sometimes F1-F4. Again, these are just some examples and may not work for everyone. There's also the possibility of using Shift or Ctrl or Alt plus these keys for more keybinds that are close by!
So for example, I use 1 for Whirling Dragon Punch, 2 for Fists of Fury, 3 for Rising Sun Kick, 4 for Blackout Kick, 5 for Tiger Palm, 6 for Spinning Crane Kick, Shift+1 for Touch of Death, Shift+2 for Strike of the Windlord, Shift+3 for Storm, Earth, and Fire/Serenity, and a mouse button for Touch of Karma. I have other things bound, like Energizing Elixir on V, Flying Serpent Kick on T, and Tiger's Lust on Shift+V, as well as my interrupt on F1, Chi Wave/Chi Burst on F2, Leg Sweep/Ring of Peace on F3, Paralysis on F4, and Healing Elixir/DIffuse Magic/Dampen Harm on F5 as I don't use that as much. I keep things like pots further away on Ctrl+4 so I don't accidentally press it, but it's not super far away either. These are probably not what people would call "ideal" and I don't have much reasoning for the specific placements other than I put stuff, tried it out, and ended up getting used to it this way, so that's what I would recommend.
Hope this gives you an idea to start with! :)
meralonne oh ok ill definitely try some of them out and figure some out myself, this was also very helpful :)
Awesome, glad to hear it! Good luck! :)
I'll be much appreciated if you can give a description of which addons you use! THNX!

Ah the comforting non-recommendation of Doom cooldown pulse is still there. I think I'll miss it if you don't condemn it in your next video :D
Haha indeed, and I'm thinking about dropping the addon at some point but I'm afraid people will miss it lol! :P
I'm so glad I looked your armory up before I watched more then 3mins of this video. You've never seen mythic. Not watching this video :D
Hey man. Thanx for your work !

Hello, Thanks for ww monks videos! Your chi/generate addon is so good. what is this addon name ?
You're very welcome! The Chi bar is the default bar, but I use a script to move it and enlarge it. I'll post the script and explanation here, but you can also use an addon called Move Anything to move anything on your UI anywhere you like (I don't use it currently but it's really useful from what I understand).

Ohh and if possible about the energy bar I can't seem to be able to do it myself :/
You're very welcome for the guide, glad you liked it!
The last ability used for Windwalkers I didn't make, I found it some time ago, but you can import the WA here: pastebin.com/edit/MVALDxdc
Just Ctrl+F and search Windwalker, the Energy Bar WA I made is there too. The Energy Bar is listed under "Energy Bar" and the other is listed under something like "Hit Combo Last Hit tracker" so you can pick both of those up (remember to just import the giant blocks of text, not the labels above them :P).

What is the addon that shows your chi in middle of the screen? is it bartender 4?
That's actually the default chi bar, I use a script to move and enlarge it. Another option to move it is the addon MoveAnything which allows you to move just about every part of the UI (I don't have it but I hear it's really good).

Where comes this mega awesome Energybartexture from? :O
It's from Weak Auras 2 and it's the Runes texture I believe. I also use the same texture in Quartz 3 for my cast bars on all my toons as well. Hope this helps! :)
Hmm, my WA does not have these Bartextures... I gonna look into Quarz 3, maybe the texture is from there. Thanks
Yep, they were from Quarz3, thank you
Awesome, glad you found it! :)
You`re more of a commentator then a windwalker, Thanks for reading the windwalker abilities to the blind =)
Haha fair enough, the spells section is mostly for new people to the spec to make sure they don't miss out on any tools in the spec's arsenal.
Spinning Crane Kick stack tracker didnt work on your WA2 bro
Hmm odd....I just updated it in light of this, but I'll paste it here as well. Do note that since the trigger is "Action Usable" that it will disappear when you have fewer than 3 Chi outside of Serenity:

What I recommend is finding a way to track the absorb amount left on Touch of Karma, either through some monk-specific addon (I don't know any though, so you'd have to find one) or through Weak Auras 2 (you could either make one or find a Weak Aura that someone has made for it, I can play with it when I get back later today but I don't have one yet). This way you can make sure you're using Touch of Karma close to on cooldown during a fight to ensure you're getting DPS value from it without accidentally dying because you stay too long in a damaging mechanic. Also, be aware that using Touch of Karma offensively means you won't always have it defensively in emergencies or for planned mechanics, so don't forget to save it for unavoidable damage if necessary!
The only other note I can make is to make sure the damage you're taking on purpose when Touch of Karma is active does not wipe the party or raid. For example, on the last boss in Vault of the Wardens, you could take a glaive hit with Karma or something to do more damage, but if you got hit by it close to other people, the damage splashes and you could potentially kill people, which I wouldn't recommend doing.
tl;dr In terms of offense, use Touch of Karma basically on cooldown and make sure to take enough damage to use all of its absorb each time. Don't wipe the group to doing this, and don't die to extra damage by staying in something bad too long. Also save Touch of Karma if you need it defensively for a specific mechanic of the fight.
Hope this helps a bit! If you do get Weak Auras 2 and want an example Weak Aura for it, let me know and I'll try to whip something up for you! :D
Wow, never expected such a well written response in that short time :d Thanks alot! Il go and check out weak auras 2 and find out how it works!
That sound awesome, keeping track of the time while karma is up!
Again, Thanks! You just got yourself another sub :d
Edit : I managed just to make a smallcountdown on my touch of karma during the 10 seconds it lasts. However i cant find any addons just for that spell, just a few people asking for one :D I have no idea how to program the addon to show me how much of the "shield" theres left though :d
No problem, happy to help! Thanks for the sub, I appreciate it!
As far as the WA goes, I made this simple one (there doesn't appear to be an absorb "amount" listed on the buff itself like with Prot Warrior's Ignore Pain, so I instead made this to show when Touch of Karma is active). It's probably very similar to yours, and what you can do with it is once the debuff disappears, you know your absorb is gone so stop taking the extra damage once it's gone. It's not as perfect as having a real absorb amount listed but should work for simple purposes like knowing when Karma is active and when it's been fully used. You can change the size and position in the Display tab if you need to.
Hope this helps!

You are a legend, thanks alot!
You're very welcome, glad it seems to work! :D
Is WDP really better then Serenity? Neary all high tier raiders use WDP and most people use it but i get better DPS with Serenity.
Well, right now with top tier setups (as you mentioned), WDP seems to be getting better results. However, as I have always tried to tell people this expansion, no matter which has the edge (WDP or Serenity), play with what you're more comfortable with. I have come across a lot of people who do better with the "weaker" talent because they know how to use it much better than the other, so I suggest playing what gets you better results for now. If you're interested in learning to use WDP, it'll take time and practice, but if you're looking for better results sooner, stick with Serenity if that feels and performs better for you right now.
Hope this helps! :)
meralonne Thank you i guess i will stick with serenity it helps alot with chi starvation and i tend to be good at timing serenity to match my other cds. Do you think you could give me ur weakaura? Thanks for the tip :)
You're very welcome! My Weak Auras can be found here: pastebin.com/MVALDxdc
Feel free to poke me if any of those aren't working or something. Enjoy!
Thank you, i dont know how to make them myself and i always wanted ones similar to what you use. Is it ok if i come here sometimes and ask for tips?
Of course! Happy to help when I can! :D
what about serenity?
I'll be making a video specifically about Serenity soon! I fiddled with the idea of putting both in this video but decided it would be too long of a video overall, so I'll be making an update to the Serenity-specific video and uploading that in the near future, hopefully it'll help! :)
You seem to drift from Australian accent to American accent, what's going on with that?
It's just how I talk so I'm not really sure, haven't given it that much thought lol!
