Windwalker Monk Talents & Best Builds
Mined from 156 distinct builds in the current top WarcraftLogs parses. The tables below show which hero talent the best Windwalker players actually run on each boss and key.
Also searched as WW Monk.
This page ranks Windwalker Monk talent builds from top WarcraftLogs parses, showing which hero talent each boss or dungeon's best players chose. The usage figures come from individual parses, not simulations. Across all scenes, Conduit of the Celestials appears in 87.1% of parses (n=101), while Shado-Pan appears in 12.9% (n=15). In raid, Conduit leads on seven of eight bosses, with Shado-Pan preferred only on Sszorak. In high-key Mythic+, Conduit is used on every listed dungeon.
In farm Mythic+, Conduit still dominates, but Shado-Pan appears on Ruby Life Pools and Temple of Sethraliss. The takeaway: top players overwhelmingly favor Conduit of the Celestials, but Shado-Pan has niche uses on specific encounters. When reading the table, note that each boss lists five popular builds; the hero talent shown is the one used by the top parse for that encounter. Use this as a reference for what top players actually run, not as a claim about talent effectiveness.

Omnium Folio runes · what top players pick raid 40 players Mythic+ 40 players
The Patch 12.1 Omnium Folio has five rune rows. This is what the sampled top logs actually run in each row, read from the runes' own damage, healing and buff traces. Bold = most picked. Rows 1 and 5 are procs, so their share is inferred from the traces they leave.
| Row | Raid | Mythic+ |
|---|---|---|
| Row 1 | ||
| Row 2 | ||

The GearInsight addon shows the same table next to your own current runes and can switch every row to the recommended one in one click.
How to unlock the Omnium Folio and fill the rows
At level 80, take The Magisters' Call from the Magister's Missive at the Field Accolade Quartermasters in Silvermoon City, help Grand Magister Rommath and Magister Umbric restore the Sunstrider Omnium in Eversong Woods, and finish The Omnium Reawakens for the Folio and row 1. Then each week the Seeking Knowledge quest at the Sunstrider Omnium pays one Mote of Omnial Inquiry, one row per mote: week 2 Ritualized Arcana ×8 (Ritual Sites), week 3 Dark-Ley Coalescence ×5 (Void Incursions), week 4 Pure Primessence ×1 (delves, dungeons, raid or strongbox), week 5 an alien magic fragment from Showdown world bosses plus 3 world quests. Motes are account-wide once one character has done the quest; since 12.1 alts skip the intro. The Folio UI opens from the map and runes can be swapped freely out of combat.
