Hello everyone. So I just got my monk to 240 ilvl with a 272 2hand weapon. But I seem to be having a very hard time killing lvl 60 rare mobs in ZM unlike with my havoc DH, Frost DK and ret paladin when they were at that ilvl. Are WW monks just really not as good at soloing or is Death Strike, DH leech and paladin word of glory just really good sustains compared to what we have with WW monk? or am I playing it wrong?
WW doesn’t have the defense or leech/ self heal those classes have so you aren’t alone, it’s the reason I switched to hunter main as I usually play solo.
Rogues are in similar spot , I get destroyed by elites that my hunter has zero issues with, sadly it’s here is no build that would help you with that. You could try spec into Brewmaster and will have a lot easier time but would take you forever to clear those big mobs.

Incidentally WW soloing may be better in DF with the instant-heal Vivify effectively being the equivalent of the Paladin’s WoG without as much opportunity cost.

Ok thanks. I thought I might have missed something.
Yea I have been playing with the DF talent calculator of DH, DK, Paladin and now monk. My main candidate to main in DF is DH and Paladin but I kind of missed my monk whom I played a lot back in BFA so decided to level him to 60 as well while there is xp buff.
I agree that the monk DF general talent tree will enable us to get more self sustain it seems.
Edit: Also since we can have black ox statue as WW in DF do you think it can help tank rare mobs? or will it disappear with one hit from rare mobs?
The statue is tankier than the WW, but it doesn’t hold aggro. I’m not sure what situation it exists for.

It’ll be a very niche thing used to pick up random adds that spawn. Think Mother Phestis egg spawns. Can drop the statue near your ranged to keep them safe. Tank can then taunt the statue for an AoE taunt (assuming a Warrior/Paladin/DK can taunt it like a BrM can).
Won’t happen very often but who knows. As of right now the bottom tier in the class tree is poo poo.
ok thanks. I thought we could use it like the earth elemental shamans have where it tanks mobs for the duration. Right now I monk does not have the self sustain that my DH, DK and ret paladin have.
I seem to obliterate everything in world content with modest effort. Some level 60 world mobs in ZM are just difficult to solo on most classes. Like others have said you need Pally Bubble or a pet or something to do some of them.
You’re better off switching to BrM spec before fighting high hp rares, WW is pretty squishy.
WW, or monks in general, are not mongo like DH.
