I cant even compare same ilvl but even 15-20 less ilvl all other classes deal more damage than me in every content. Do i need to delete wow?

No, you don’t. You just need to gear up and practice more, like the people beating you have done.

Before I past the 470 ilvl threshold, I was able to compete with people with higher ilvl. Monk’s rotation isn’t as straight forward as other classes, its not rocket science of course, but also not as simple as others.

Monk is definitely not a basic 4 button rotation like Demon Hunter for example. While really, really strong, WW is pretty difficult to master. If I go from playing Warrior to Monk it’s like jumping into the cockpit of a Boeing 747. There’s a lot of stuff to press, and if you do it wrong, you’re dead.
Fun class though if you can stick with it.

WW is fine for M+ but total garbage for this raid tier. We have the worst scaling of all dps specs which is why we the absolute worst spec this tier as per the below dps standings, I am even having to switch class just to get a raid spot for Carapace and N’Zoth and was already left out of IL’gynoth to be replaced by a 3rd DH. I mean we would of killed it with me in the group but DH, warriors, rogues are just better dps and have better survivability.
WW stone last.

I think blizzard intentionally have WW in low output at least inside raids, because we already have the brewmaster godmode and probably one MW, i mean if you had (that id love to) WW being top tier melee your raid comp would look like:
2-3 ww’s
1-2 brews
1 mw.
That would be like 25% of the mythic raid populated by monks while there are so many other classes to get a spot.

to ask a Question from a Alt and not your monk, will make it hard for people to know where your going wrong… for it could be Multitudes of sources.
- Corruptions have a Large part of Player DPS these days.
- Essences have a large part of player DPS These days
- Azerite gear have a Large part of player DPS these days
- BiS Stats / Gear Optimisation.
- Rotational Performance.
- Food/Pots
- Deaths
- ilevel
- Legendary Cloak
all of these things contribute to your DPS Total to varying degrees, and Any number of these hurdles you maybe Failing. could be nothing to do with your performance and still be underperforming currently in WoW due to how many seperate Grinds there are to Maximising your class.
if you posted on your monk players maybe able to narrow it down further to what could be causing you the problem… as no amount of Rotational Advise will save your DPS if u have No Essences / Corruptions and Terrible Azerite essences.

Here is the link for how DPS is performing this raid tier.

Can’t post links here.
WW is dead last, you would think we would at least perform better then 1 of the pure dps specs.

tbh, Logs arent entirely accurate.
Logs work off the Playerbases behind them, the More meta a class is the More played it is and the higher performing players tend to bandwagon it.
and how percentiles work, is basically the highest Performers Number is taken as 99%.
this means Effectively you can be 20% Beneath ur classes Potiental DPS yet stil be 99% if the class is underplayed enough or ignored by higher performing players.
which means Not always are classes On the list at the bottom Because it underperforms by how much it looks, but can also be due to a Lack of Support for it in Mythic raiding guilds. now this doesnt mean “WW Monk is the Best DPS yet just not discovered” but it likely means Alot of Speccs are prolly Much closer to one another then logs present.
a DPS of 1% above other options would likely Sway alot of people to take it, and because of that… can increase the DPS Difference on a log. classes are Rarely ever as bad as a Log makes out realistically.
and while WW Could use buffing, they prolly dont perform quite as horrifically as it seems… Monk as a whole are very underplayed, and WW is prolly the least played specc in the game…
also when u also ignore that these sorts of parses are based on Equal Skill evel which u would only ever see in the top 1%, in ur day to day groups Skill levels are Massively different… so logs rarely apply to average content either.
windwalker is trash in raids sure but you shouldn’t be bottom dps unless you’re in a decent guild. In pugs i can usually stay in top3 against even geared meta specs although you have to parse 20% higher than them ;_;
WW does struggle in raids, but it’s not a dead spec. Here is our recent HC reclear : www warcraftlogs com/reports/hRL2F6qTKQkNPMyG/#fight=last&type=damage-done (fill in the dots, can’t post links)
Being 4th dps on HC N’Zoth kill seems reasonable to me considering I haven’t fine tuned my stats, corruptions, traits, and essences.
Yes Ww is weak but still gear dependent, you should not have to much issues as long as you got the right stats and corruptions.
Although if your planning to do high end mythic raiding I would consider changing class or going brew.
It is literally the worst spec in game for pve right now due to their stat scalings.
