Windwalker Monk Stats

Agility is your primary stat, found on leather gear. Agility increases your attack power. Nearly all our damage abilities are based on this. Typically this is our most important stat, and what leads to item level being most desirable in most situations.

For secondary stats, the Windwalker Monk has the following:

Agility > Versatility = Critical Strike > Mastery > Haste
Critical Strike: Increases the chance that abilities deal 100% increased damage. Bounces around with Mastery and Versatility due to differing availabilities.
Haste: Increases energy regeneration, reduces cooldown of Fists of Fury, Rising Sun Kick, and Whirling Dragon Punch. Although not worth avoiding at all cost, other stats are generally more useful.
Mastery: Increases the damage of abilities, provided they are not a repeat of the previous cast. Typically the most desirable secondary stat, but falls behind Versatility easily, due to differing availabilities.
Versatility: Increases all damage dealt, healing done, and reduces damage taken. Most desirable stat, largely due to limited availability.
