![]() Monks have a pretty limited selection of weapons to chose from, but they also have the advantage of being able to dual wield in all three specs. The only real difference in heirloom choices between the two classes at all is in which weapons they are able to equip. Monks also have another resource called Chi, but gear has no impact on Chi so I will not discuss it in this article. The third tree, healing, utilizes Intellect as their primary stat, similar to the Druid’s Moonkin and Restoration specs. Two of the Monk talent trees utilize Agility as their primary stat, very similar to the Druid’s feral forms. ![]() ![]() Monk talent trees allow them to fill three of the four roles: tank, heals, and melee DPS. Monks are the new class coming in Mists of Pandaria (MoP), which are very mechanically similar to Druids in many ways. Running a few random dungeons can speed up that process too, of course, but if you’re going to pick and single method and stick with it then Honor is the key for me. The PvE heirlooms are almost without exception better than the PvP heirlooms, but you can convert your Honor to Justice Points and still earn those heirlooms faster than if you had just farmed the JP itself. Doing random BG’s at least until you score a victory, hitting Tol Borad every chance you get, doing Wintergrasp weeklies, and so on can really get those Honor points flowing. ![]() The fastest method of farming that I’ve found so far has definitely been Honor farming. There has also been no change to the methods of farming for your heirlooms, so you’ll still need to pick your chosen method(s) of farming for Justice Points, Honor, Champion Seals, Darkmoon Artifacts, and gold along with guild reputation. The items still have the same level restrictions, the same item level limits that prevent using upgraded enchants, a quick scroll through the list looks like they all give the same bonuses to the same stats, and there is still no way of getting heirlooms from one server to another without paying for a character transfer. I am going to leave them listed in the guide for now because (A) they haven’t actually been removed yet and (B) it’s still in beta so it is possible, however unlikely, that they will revert the change and add them back in.Īs far as we are aware at this point, there have been no new changes to heirlooms in the upcoming expansion. NOTE: At this time Blizzard is planning to remove Head enchants from the game once MoP goes live (or more likely, the patch right before it goes live). As a guide that covers heirlooms though, I’m going over every slot for which heirlooms exist to say, “if you’re going to use an heirloom in this slot, then this is the one you want.” I would much rather use rings that provide a bonus to my primary stats that I know I’m going to use. For example, I would never use the Dread Pirate Ring unless I really wanted to level a character quickly because it offers only secondary stats and an experience bonus. This guide is written for those of you who do want to use heirlooms on your Monks, and would like a little direction in which purchases to make, and which enchants to use on them if you feel like maximizing your leveling potential.Īs you continue reading, please keep in mind that this guide is aimed strictly at showing you which heirlooms are you best option among the heirloom gear I am not necessarily saying that you should use these heirlooms exclusively and ignore all other gear. And you can’t forget the twinks, of course. I know a lot of people will not want to use heirlooms on their monks, especially since the class and expansion are going to be brand new, but I also know that there are a lot of people who really don’t like the leveling process at all who are going to make use of every heirloom they can get their hands on. With the beta invites being sent out by the hundreds of thousands and the expansion drawing ever closer to going live, I think it’s time to start getting plans for heirlooms in motion.
