We got a lot of the same questions in week one of the expansion. Here are the answers. If you ask these again I will cry.

Is fistweaving good in Shadowlands?

Yes. It’s looking even better than it did in BFA.

Trinkets? Talents? How to play?

Check the guides.

play/trinkets/talents

Advanced talents

Is this piece of gear better than that piece of gear?

Generally if it is higher ilvl it’s better. If you’re still not sure QElive it!

QELive

What covenant should I go?

It says it in the guide but they are all similar. We suggest Kyrian but all covenants are viable at all levels of content. Yes, that means mythic raiding too!

I’m playing RM but I keep having to hit healing buttons.

Rising Mist’s direct healing isn’t going to keep people up. The opportunity it gives to have more Renewing Mists up at one time allows you to more easily handle AoE damage through Vivify. TLDR: the healing part of RM = meh; the HoT extension = easier healing later 😎

Which lego to go for and which slot?

Tear of Morning in the head slot. As a general rule of thumb you will normally want to craft a legendary in a high stat slot. These are the rough breakdown in stats per slot:

Chest, legs and head are all 1.00

Shoulders, boots, belts and gloves are all 0.75

Bracers and cloak are 0.56

What should my DPS rotation be?

Standard Rotation

Rising Sun Kick > Tiger Palm to 3 stacks of Teachings of the Monastery > Blackout Kick

Rotation with Rising Mist

Rising Sun Kick > Blackout Kick > Tiger Palm

Spirit of the Crane Rotation (DPS or Mana Rotation)

Max DPS (If you also have Rising Mist, use the above Rising Mist rotation)
Rising Sun Kick > Tiger Palm to 3 stacks of Teachings of the Monastery > Blackout Kick

Or

Max Mana

Tiger Palm to 3 stacks of Teachings of the Monastery > Blackout Kick

Chi-ji Rotation (While active)
Rising Sun Kick > Tiger Palm > Blackout Kick

If Rising Sun Kick is on cooldown replace it with a Tiger Palm.
