Races & Racials

Orc is the most popular race for Windwalker Monk at 68%, followed by Night Elf (8%) and Human (8%).

Orc at 68% 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.

Night Elf players bring Shadowmeld, which enters stealth to drop combat.

Gear Strategy

The preferred secondary stats are Mastery and Versatility, with Haste 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.

Most top players are running the 2-piece tier set (Way of Ra-den's Chosen) but skipping the 4-piece, opting for stronger individual items in the remaining slots.

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 (74%).
