Though I am wondering if I should go to the Darkmoon Faire with him and ride the carousel there, as it gives a 10% increase to XP intake for all kills. Any faster percentage to getting to Level 100 (and eventually Level 110) would be most welcomed.<br \/>\nI do believe that the Monk gets their own XP buff by Level 20 (which either lasts for an hour or a day), which would help even more.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m trying my damnest to also pick good choices in my Monk&#8217;s talent tiers. I believe last time, I picked Chi Burst as it did more damage. But this time I&#8217;m going with Eye of The Tiger, as it makes Tiger Palm better by giving a chance to heal the Monk while damaging the target. Survivability is what I&#8217;m going for. And so far I haven&#8217;t died. But this is early game. By late early game (once I reach Level 30 or so and be able to use a mount by then), the chance of death will probably raise.<\/p>\n<p>I already miss the Guild XP buffs that we had since MoP. If they still existed, I would had been Level 20 by now. Some say that the buffs got removed back in Cata, but I&#8217;m pretty sure I used them in MoP (Monks as a playable class didn&#8217;t even exist back then).<\/p>\n<p>One last thing, I&#8217;m also using a mod called &#8220;We Don&#8217;t Wipe&#8221; (and its WW Monk module). It&#8217;s sort of a replacement to &#8220;Bitten&#8217;s SpellFlash&#8221;. It basically helps determine a good rotation based on your current abilities to get the most DPS. Though I would prefer the other as it doesn&#8217;t add another GUI to your screen. Plus I see rotations <a href=\"http:\/\/puu.sh\/rykwn\/5cdd8de0d0.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">like this<\/a> which make no sense. Maybe I just need to get used to it more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If only Blizzard would restore Spirit Bond, I wouldn&#8217;t even had created a Monk.
