We've just hotfixed the game to adjust Windwalkers a bit further. Specifically:

  • Damage of all abilities increased by 15%.
  • Vestments of Enveloped Dissonance 2-piece bonus now reduces the cooldown of Rising Sun Kick by 1 second (was 2 seconds).
  • Xuen's Battlegear 4-piece bonus now increases critical strike chance of Rising Sun Kick by 30% when Fists of Fury ends (was 65%).


These changes, along with adjustments to the same set bonuses that were made in patch 7.3.2, should put the combination of 2- and 4-piece sets in line with our plans for the power of those tiers, and allow us to make the forthcoming Antorus tier competitive and valuable for Monk damage dealers.

The spec-wide damage increase is intended to keep all of these adjustments from reducing overall damage output, and we’ve counteracted the changes in PvP with intent to be neutral.

I think you mean Rising Sun Kick, not Fists of Fury, since the t19 2 piece set bonus never reduced the Fists of Fury CD before.


Thank you. I previously named them reversed between the two sets.
