Returning Player Seeking Help

Hey everyone.

I’ve recently decided to start playing WoW again, but only really dipped my toe in the water so far. There seems to be an overwhelming amount of content and changes since I last played (Aug 2018), I’m not really sure where to begin…

My current focus is to level up to 120 and understand what has changed to windwalkers as that’s what I main. From there, I’d like to gear up, maybe do some pvp. The last time I played everyone was trying to get their mage tower appearances before they disappeared, just to give you an idea of how long it has been.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Well, for the time being, you should obviously just focus on leveling and after that you can figure out the puzzle piece by piece. Since 8.3 released recently, there’s a lot of completely new stuff that’s come out. You best read a guide related to it to understand the new systems. Here’s a link to one: https://www.wowhead.com/guides/visions-of-nzoth-content-overview-bfa

If you wish to gear up, then 8.3 is a good time to start doing it. You can also spend some time in the 8.2 zones, as Nazjatar for example is handing out 385 gear that you can then upgrade even further. Leveling your neck is also a part of this process, and you will need to gather some azerite to get that up. Very similar to the artifact system. Right now reaching neck level 75 would be a good start, after that it’s not as urgent.

For the essences, you should check what’s best for wind walkers, either through sims or other means. Here’s a couple resources: https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/windwalker-monk-pve-dps-guide (icy veins windwalker monk guide, contains some other stuff as well, like your rotation). http://warcraftlogs.com/ Is useful if you wish to see what the best monks are playing (in PvE), for PvP you can use the arena tool on this site to see what the best wind walkers are playing for arenas.

After that, it is up to you to decide what to do next. I’d really recommend spending the time to read the 8.3 guide, it is going to get you up to speed on what’s happening currently. The other stuff should also prove useful. And as a final note, here is the link to the monk discord server, which will also have other resources in it to help you, and you can also ask other players questions there. Very useful stuff. https://discord.gg/0dkfBMAxzTkWj21F
