The Teachings of Xuen: A Windwalker PvE Guide

[Esmi]

hi, looking for headpeace advice: will of the emperor headpeace (489) vs Sha of Fear T-Headpeace (496)

I have no access to heroic gear yet - so this are my only viable options - what do you think?

[Tatuin]

the sha one cuz of the tier and higher ilvl

[Deleted]

I was thinkin about going the "crit build" thats been posted about in here latley, ive been mostly reforgin to haste and also gemmin pure haste.

I Used mr robot to setup a profile and change some forges and gems. Not sure if link will work but. How does it look?

Well, thats the question. The T-headpeace has mastery on it, while the other peace has haste/crit.... So bad Set-boni, bad stats but higher itl vs lower itl but great stats...

[Girthmonster]

1.165% corresponds to 16.5% haste. Sorry, I'm kinda bad making my logic transparent when I get to spreadsheeting.

So if I am then interpreting this correctly, and by looking at what your monk is reforged to. I can drop down to 6.5% haste, factor in the 10% buff for raids, take Ascension as my talent and in theory have a noticeable dps increase?

Haste is multiplicative, not additive. So 5.9% haste would be enough. Good luck finding many pieces that only have hit/crit/exp on them tho

Tell me about it haha. I recently just took my Reforgelite and changed the stat weights around. So put Crit at 160 and Haste at 140 (instead of vice versa) and that brought me to 8.42% haste and 31.02% crit (3,579 and 5,883 respective ratings). Im intrigued to see what you think of my character now Mihir, you know me as Pandophile. I've posted on your guild forums a couple times.

Just as an FYI I have regular mod Nethrrealm Shoulderpads and the Crown of Opportunistic Strikes in my bags but I'm using the LFR Tier helm for the expertise and 2 piece for increased FoF.

I was assuming that this whole theorycrafting session was based around having the 2piece to incrase regen time due to more use of FoF.

Thanks!

[Esmi]

so you prefer the lfr t-helmet over the normal crown? interesting ...
I more and more prefere the normal crown over the normal t- headpiece
I think I will rarely make use of the 2piece - most bosses require so much movement...and the mastery on it is just...just bad

It's not that bad. Especially if you go for 2 set and crit reforging.

Sounds about right. Multiplicative though like Mihir said.

Human error plays a part too. A robomonk can do a perfect 60GCD rotation in 60 seconds, while a noob can do 50 GCD/min and a pro can do something like 59 GCD/min. As you play your rotation tighter, haste becomes more valuable up to a point.

If you want to, right click the tab at the bottom and you can make a copy of the spreadsheet and use your own raid buffed mastery, or just to play around with it.

I'm using the helm because I need the expertise at the moment. Once I get tier shoulders that Crown is going right back on my head. Also the 2 piece is indeed pretty viable you just have to be very wary of when you use it.

Correct me if I'm wrong there Salty?

Quick question.

I got the polearm from MSV normal (Screaming tiger) for my ww (off)spec.
I just scored a claw from Empress in lfr.
I was wondering if i pair that one up with a 463 heroic weapon wich one would be better?

Putting down 10k for a sha touched crystal is not an option (i'm mw main, so my crystal from the quest is a 500int in my mace).
I never use this spec in a guild raid, i just do my dailies in them, run lfr and sometimes 5m hc's.
I will be getting dancing steel on it though.

I can't test it, i have to go buy a 463 from the AH or run some hc's for it thats why i'm asking it here

Added a small section to the guide with some monk abilities that didn't make it out of the beta.

No stick with your Screaming Toiger until you get a 2nd 1h from nomal. Either of the fist weapons will do. A 1h from lfr might also be a slight upgrade over 2h since your MH would be Claws of Shek'zeer, but I haven't done any math on this, so don't take that as a given.

The white tiger statue sounds like a lot of fun. It's a shame some of these concepts didn't make it in, would have really rounded out the monk's versatility and raid utility I feel.

So there was actually something to give WW a bit of cleave and they decided to remove it? I'd love to hear the reasoning for that.

[TheWindWalker]

I had forgotten about the Tiger Statue and had suggested we get one the other day, oddly enough. What I wanted instead was something far more simple like a tiny bit of magic damage added to all our attacks or some kind of combo such as "every five attacks you release a small cleaving chi burst" that kind of thing. Enough to make you want to use it every pull (or nearly) but also small enough to not unbalance us entirely.

would a 470 pvp weapon be better than my offhand? dps vs 1 secondary stat

aww cant link, got siege-captains's scimitar 471ilvl (could upgrade the conq wep)

As far as I recall you don't switch from a higher ilvl 2h to 1h unless the 1h is the same or higher ilvl. Might have changed since then though :< Best to just test or wait for a more knowledgeable response

What's the prices for Dancing Steel on your server, anyway? On Kil'Jaeden (US) it tends to stay between 8k-10k. A +500agi jewel is more valuable than the enchantment.
