Windwalker Monk DPS Mythic+ Tips — The War Within (11.0.5)

Spear Hand Strike is your "kick" and your most important bit of utility in Mythic+, used to stop enemy casts for the benefit of the group and especially the tank. It is highly recommended to use a Focus Kick macro for this.

• /stopcasting
• /stopcasting
• /cast [@focus,exists,nodead][@mouseover,exists,nodead] [] Spear Hand Strike

This macro will kick your focus target if you have one, mouseover if you have no Focus target, and your target if you have neither of those.

To quickly set a focus target in hectic scenarios, we also recommend a Focus Mouseover macro.

• /focus [@mouseover]

Make sure that your UI shows your Focus Target's casts clearly so that you are always able to kick it on cooldown or in coordination with the rest of your group.

Leg Sweep is your "AoE stop". It will knock down all targets in a generous radius, stopping their casts.

Ring of Peace is one of the most useful abilities in the game when it comes to controlling enemies. It interrupts casts and allows them to be positioned better.

Paralysis is a useful long CC that is used to isolate targets so that they aren't involved in the fight. It can also be used as an interrupt if the other options aren't available.

Detox is a useful ability to help remove any poison or disease debuffs that may be present.
