Windwalker Leveling Guide

This guide is meant to help players to level from 1-70 with as much ease as possible. This will be largely aimed at leveling through questing, as leveling through dungeons is less nuanced and should be sufficiently handled by the PvE Guide.

This will not be a perfectly optimized guide for every level, but a guideline for people who are looking for one. Feel free to switch up whatever you wish.

Why Windwalker

Windwalker is, arguably, the best spec in the game for leveling. It has a high mix of movement, defensives, and crushing DPS potential. With good use of Afterlife orbs, Windwalker is nearly unkillable and can zip from target to target with insane speed. Windwalker can feel a little squishy if you’re not using all of the control and defensive tools, but if that’s the case then its you need to either use those tools or pull slower.

Tips

• Liberally use  Blackout Kick so that you have  Afterlife orbs to heal you.
• Try to be attentive to where the  Afterlife orbs are so you don’t walk over one unless you need the healing.
• You have many defensives, how and when you use them will depend on what you’re fighting.
• Don’t be afraid to  Roll out and run away.
• Keep a close eye on  Touch of Death and use when it when you most need it.
• Don’t over pull or do more than you are capable of. It can very quickly become overwhelming if you bite off more than you can chew.
• Keeping yourself healed with  Expel Harm and alive trumps any and all value of DPS buttons.
• Pull with Chi Wave, Chi Burst, Crackling Jade Lightning, or Provoke.
• LEVEL IN WARMODE!!! Turbo Fists, Alpha Tiger, and Reverse Harm make leveling significantly faster
