Windwalker Monk Leveling in dragonflight

Windwalker monks are a very easy spec to level with and can be powerful in killing single enemies or grouping them up and AOEing them down. Due to the strength of  Afterlife.

So, what build did I use to level up to 70, and why.

My goal was to focus on the core mechanics of the windwalker monk and have the ground core rotation set in stone, and having that in mind it means that I needed to focus on having as minimum as I can of buttons to press.

Disclaimer: This isn't an efficient damage build, it does damage but you are not min-maxing it.

Alright the idea behind this is that you have your hitters

Tiger Palm
Rising Sun Kick
Fists of Fury
Chi Wave/ Chi Burst
Touch of death

For Offensive cd's you have:
Fury of Xuen 
Storm, Earth and Fire
(These 2 should be macro'ed)

For defensive Cooldown's you have a couple of solutions to help you on sticky situations.
Touch of Karma (that can be used offensively)
Diffuse Magic (as this expansion seems to have alot more magic damage this is a nice thing to have).
Detox (Many mobs have Poison or Disease dots, this is really helpfull, even more if you decide to go through some dungeons on your leveling path).

Leveling Tips for Dragonflight

  • Cooldown Usage While Leveling in Dragonflight

  •  Touch of Death is the most important cooldown, as it will make leveling 100x easier and faster than not using it. Other cooldowns like  Invoke Xuen, the White Tiger and  Serenity or  Storm, Earth, and Fire are best to be used at the same time whenever possible, to maximize their strength.

  • Managing defensives is also an important task for Windwalkers.  Touch of Karma is incredibly useful, but it will get eaten up quickly by multiple targets, so make it your first instinct, or as a DPS increase, not as a button to save your life.  Fortifying Brew,  Dampen Harm, and  Diffuse Magic should be used proactively to prevent damage, not to recover from it.

  •  Leg Sweep should be used once your targets are in a nice clump so you can open on them without worrying about your health for a bit.
