Races & Racials
Orc is the most popular race for Windwalker Monk at 50%, followed by Highmountain Tauren (18%) and Night Elf (16%).
Orc at 50% usage is a clear favorite, largely thanks to Hardiness, which passively reduces stun duration by 20%, one of the strongest PvP racials in the game.
Highmountain Tauren players bring Bull Rush, which charges forward, knocking down enemies for a 1.5 second stun.
Gear Strategy
The preferred secondary stats are Mastery and Versatility, with Critical Strike as a third option. Since the item level of PvP gear scales in PvP, the real gearing decision comes down to picking the right items for these stats.
The recommended gear activates the 2-piece and 4-piece set bonuses from Guile of the Monkey King.
Top players are doubling up on Arcanoweave Lining for both embellishment slots.
The most popular bloodstone is Enduring Heliotrope (88%), and the most common secondary gem is Flawless Versatile Amethyst (87%).

Shado-Pan is the dominant hero talent tree for Windwalker Monk in Solo Shuffle, picked by 88% of top players, with 12% on Conduit of the Celestials. That's a lopsided preference, suggesting Shado-Pan is significantly stronger for PvP this season.
The most commonly picked PvP talents are Turbo Fists (100%), Grapple Weapon (80%), Ride the Wind (56%), and Wind Waker (52%).
