Conclusion

Gear plays a critical role in your World of Warcraft journey. You can acquire your equipment from various sources such as raids, dungeons, PvE, PvP activities, and more. However, not all gear qualifies as Best-in-Slot (BiS), the top-tier equipment that can significantly enhance your power. So, to help you become the most powerful Monk in Azeroth and beyond, WowVendor has compiled a BiS list for all three Monk specializations: Windwalker, Brewmaster, and Mistweaver.

Please note that this list focuses solely on gear, enchants, and gems. We won’t be discussing talents, rotations, or stats here. Also, if you play other classes, the article below includes links to the rest of the BiS class guides tailored just for you. Be sure to check it out:

Best Crafted Gear and Embellishments

This section covers the best-crafted gear and embellishments for all specs in The War Within Season 1. While crafted gear boosts your character and can be made via crafting orders using Sparks of Omens, embellishments are unique enhancements that come built-in or can be added to this crafted gear, providing extra effects beyond the regular stats. Remember, you can only wear two pieces of gear with embellishments at once, as noted by the “Unique-Equipped: Embellished (2)” tag.
