Manage Energy and Chi
Outside of major cooldowns, Windwalker’s damage depends on efficiently generating and spending resources, avoiding Energy overcapping and Chi waste. During big cooldowns, excess Energy and Chi are common, making overcapping less detrimental but still worth managing.
Keep Abilities on Cooldown
Since most Chi spenders have cooldowns, it’s crucial to minimize downtime on harder-hitting abilities. Anticipating ability overlaps and maintaining enough Chi for priority actions is key to optimizing Windwalker’s performance.
Use Procs
Windwalker’s key procs, Dance of Chi-Ji and Blackout Kick!, can stack up to 2, allowing flexibility but requiring careful management to avoid overcapping. These procs help balance resources while maintaining Mastery: Combo Strikes, so quick and smart reactions are essential.
