    WW Monk BiS Highmaul *Updated*

    Dear MMO-Champion Monk Community,

    Let me start off by saying this entire post got edited because of the enormous amount of number crunching. I previously stated that I would only edit the BiS get list however here's the new and completely complete list.

    I have, over the course of 2-3 hours, gone through every possible piece of loot that a WindWalker may need in Highmaul and assembled a complete list of BiS items that you will want to spend your Seals of Tempered Fate on. I have kept a log of every item compared to one another in the video (linked at the end) and shown my work for every boss and loot item. I also have a video (that I explain at the bottom) .Without further ado, here is the BiS list and the bosses they drop from:

    Kargath:
    - [Chestguard of the Roaring Crowd]
    - [The Bladefist]
    - [The Bladefist]

    The Butcher:
    - [Bracers of Spare Skin]
    - [Belt of Bloody Guts]
    - [Scales of Doom]


    Tectus:
    ---

    Brackenspore:
    - [Deep Walker Paulders]
    - [Sandals of Mycoid Musing]
    - [Cloak of Creeping Necrosis]


    Twin Ogron:
    - [Treacherous Palms]

    Ko'ragh:
    - [Rune-Enscribed Hood]
    - [Spell-Sing Signet]

    Mar'gok:
    - [Nether Blast Leggings]
    - [Reaver's Nose Ring]
    - [Captive Micro-Averration]

    As I cannot link anything in here (yet), I'll leave you with the best instructions to my reddit post that contains the video and the links to each item. It is entitled "WW Monk Best in Slot Highmaul Gear", and should be under r/wow. If anybody would like to link it in a comment or something, I'd be greatly appreciative. Cheers.

    Unless Wowhead loot tables are incorrect, the chest and helmet you're listing are only available in LFR and, as such, are only available at a level 640 item level.

    I'm guessing that pretty much any item from Normal / Heroic is going to outshine those just because of the difference in agility.

    This includes Foundry gear, which is not in line with the post title, and is over a month away. In fact, there is not 1 piece of leather multistrike gear in Highmaul. Haste/crit or haste/versatility is the best you can hope for, and a number of slots have only one available piece, and that piece has mastery.

    The trinket from Butcher (Scales of Doom) is a clear winner for us.
    Beyond that, you will want 2x The Bladefist off Kargath ... probably a good idea to use all your seals on multiple re-runs of the first boss fishing for these, plus he drops a pretty decent chest.

    Nevermind, I'm an idiot with the tier.

    Highmaul pretty much has no Multistrike gear. It's all in Foundry.

    I wonder why chest from Kargath (Versa/Haste stats) is better then chest from Tectus, which has Crit/MS stats. Am i missing something here or? Or is the reason that Kargath chest has bigger item lvl and bigger stat numbers? (Sorry about my bad english =D And first time poster, but long time reader ^^)

    Plugging in the two weapons into my spreadsheet that uses my personal stat weights, the fist weapon is just marginally better than the axe.

    i got the normal mode chest off of kargath and I also have a 636 chest from 5 man heroics with crit/MS. i'm assuming the highmaul chest is better but i'm a tad unsure.

    here is my armory to see what i'm running with: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte...lddrunk/simple

    I'm not sure if we can all be so lucky, but I managed to pick up a BoE ilvl670 belt from Highmaul that is 182 agi, 137 haste and 95 versatility. I feel this is better than the one that drops from The Butcher that has crit/mastery anyone able to tell me if I'm wrong? It's called Eyeripper Girdle.

    Guys!
    I like the BiS list but have you been thinking BoE's into the list?

    Iam considering buying the following 2 items on AH before tonights raid since I cant find any shoulders or head with MS on it in Highmaul:

    http://www.wowhead.com/item=118894 (Head)
    http://www.wowhead.com/item=118890 (Shoulders)

    The head I could definietly see ass a BiS since the Highmaul one has Mastery on it. What do you say? Buy or no buy. Both items would be 100k total on my server.
