Heroic Venomous Abyss · Thursday, October 8, 2026 · patch 12.1
Mïlo
Windwalker Monk · item level 322 · compared with the top 50 Windwalker parses on each boss
What to work on
- Switch to the build top Windwalkers use on Ula'tek.
- Every top-50 Windwalker runs Conduit of the Celestials; you ran Shado-Pan.
- All of them take Crane Vortex, and you don't. Spinning Crane Kick is 36% of their damage and 14% of yours.
- This fight has a lot of adds and eggs to cleave. Copy a top build from the Talents section.
- Die less in the middle of pulls.
- You died early on 8 of 13 pulls: Blight Vein twice, Melee twice, Caustic Waves, Virulent Spit and others.
- Blight Vein hits the raid each time a tether snaps, so use a defensive when pairs break.
- Two Melee deaths mean the boss or an add turned on you. Stay behind it.
- Use Whirling Dragon Punch every time it comes back.
- It was ready more often than you pressed it in Stages 1 and 2 and the intermission.
- Your first one was at 0:18. Open with it as soon as it's available.
- Your Zenith timing on the Heart was good.
- Zenith went out at 2:09 and 4:45, lined up with both Venomous Heart windows, with your potion in the first.

- 221k DPS, 53% of the top median (421k).
- Cooldowns: Zenith 4 / 3.0 · Whirling Dragon Punch 5 / 5.9 · Potion of Recklessness 1 / 1.0 (you / top avg)

Talents compared with top players
Where your build differs from the top 50
Your talents on this pull against the top 50 Windwalker kills on this boss. Hero talents: you ran Shado-Pan; 100% of top players ran Conduit of the Celestials. That's the biggest build difference here.
| Tree | You | Top players |
|---|---|---|
| Hero tree | Shado-Pan | Conduit of the Celestials 100% |
| Spec | Spiritual Focus 0% of top players | Drinking Horn Cover 100% |
| Spec | Not taken | Crane Vortex 100% |

Stats
Your stats at the start of the raid against top players. "Mix" is each secondary as a share of all your secondaries, so it compares fairly across item levels.
| Stat | You | Top-50 median | Your mix | Top mix |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Agility | 2,743 | 2,566 | ||
| Crit | 910 | 854 | 31% | 27% |
| Haste | 1,084 | 1,000 | 37% | 31% |
| Mastery | 853 | 1,238 | 29% | 39% |
| Versatility | 90 | 101 | 3% | 3% |
You're lightest on Mastery (29% of your secondaries vs 39% for top players) and heaviest on Haste. When two items are close, lean toward Mastery, and let a Raidbots sim settle it.
Trinkets

Popular isn't always best for your stats. Run Top Gear on Raidbots to compare trinkets you own before swapping. Raidbots loads your gear from the Armory, so it reflects what you have now, not what you wore that night.
