Windwalker Monk DPS Best Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — 12.0.5

You should use Indecipherable Eversong Diamond in one socket. Then, the rest of the sockets can be filled in based on what your character needs the most. I.e. if you already have a lot of Mastery and Crit on your Gear, you'll want more Haste, and vice versa. To match your current gear, you'll then want to play gems providing your lowest stat, with the best options for each combo being:

• Haste/Critical Strike ( Flawless Deadly Peridot)
• Haste/Mastery ( Flawless Masterful Peridot)
• Mastery/Critical Strike ( Flawless Deadly Amethyst)
• Mastery/Haste ( Flawless Quick Amethyst)
• Critical Strike/Haste ( Flawless Quick Garnet)
• Critical Strike/Mastery ( Flawless Masterful Garnet)

The choice of gems is highly dependent on your gear. Haste, Critical Strike, or Mastery can easily be your highest simming stat depending on the current gear you are wearing, and as a result, the choice of gems and ring enchants can vary a lot.

Gear Information

Best in Slot Gear and Where to Get It

Before applying gems and enchants to your equipment, make sure to check whether there might be an easy-to-get item that is better than the one you're currently wearing!

Gear

Consumables substantially increase the power of your character for a limited time. Any time you are challenging yourself with difficult content, it is advisable that you buff yourself with Flasks, Food, Potions, and Weapon Oils.

Flask of the Blood Knights is the recommended choice for all content.

For your DPS potion, use Potion of Recklessness in all situations.

Make sure to also carry Silvermoon Health Potion to heal yourself.

You should eat the Feasts to increase your Agility; Harandar Celebration. Keep a few Royal Roast in your inventory as well, in case no feast is available to you.

While expensive, Void-Touched Augment Runes can also be used for a small amount of extra Agility. Consider keeping a few on hand for times when you need to eke out every bit of possible damage.
