Mythic+ Tips

1

Thanks to ability_monk_rollRoll, ability_monk_tigerslustTiger's Lust, ability_monk_ridethewindFlow of Chi, and monk_ability_transcendenceTranscendence, you are extremely mobile in dungeons. Use them to pull packs faster.

2

ability_monk_tigerslustTiger's Lust removes movement-impairing debuffs from you or your target. Such debuffs often deal damage or cause damage from ground effects — use this ability to cleanse them.

3

ability_rogue_imrovedrecuperateDetox lets you dispel poison and disease effects. Use it whenever those debuffs deal significant damage to you or to your party healer.

4

Using ability_monk_paralysisParalysis lets you bypass mob groups that aren't on your dungeon route.
