World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor Signature Series Strategy Guide CHARACTER CLASS INTRODUCTION

Monk

Monk

Overview

Monk is a hybrid class able to assume any group role. Monks use Chi as the primary resource for performing many of their special abilities. Monks use leather armor and are equally adept with a variety of one-hand and two-hand weapons.

As with any hybrid, Monks come with so many tricks that they may not be an ideal choice for new players. However, once you’re more familiar with the game, playing as a Monk can be incredibly fun and rewarding.

Prominent Class Abilities

Stances

Depending on their specialization, Monks can adopt one of three animal-based Stances, granting them significant boosts to their abilities. There is one Stance designed for each party role (tank-ox, healer-serpent, damage dealer-tiger) Monks can assume.

Chi

Chi is a resource exclusive to Monks. Along with energy or mana, it’s used as a resource to execute most of the Monk’s staple abilities. Chi is generated by using certain abilities and can be then used to perform more powerful moves.

Specializations

At level 10, Monks must choose one of the following specializations: Brewmaster, Mistweaver, or Windwalker.
