The Waking Madness (Shadow Priest/WW Monk/Resto Shaman) - Strong Arena Comp in WoW Legion

The name "The Waking Madness" is derived from the word Waking which means the awakening of wind walker monk in arena in the new legion expansion. Historically, wind walker monk has only a single comp to run which is The Walking Dead (DK/WW Monk/Healer). The second word Madness, which refers to the new mechanics in World of Warcraft Legion for shadow priests which is insanity (madness) which is a new resource when it's capped to full will grant the shadow priest shadow form (Tentacle Form).

Comp Classes:

Tekkenwlb (Resto Shaman) - Nemesis
Nobetter (Wind Walker Monk) - Eredar
Highzealot (Shadow Priest) - Frostmourne

Comp Strategy:


1. The best healer for this comp will be Resto Shaman, as shadow priest can provide a lot of utilities to save the shaman such as Void Shift (Swap health), Mass Dispel, Vampiric Embrace, Power Word: Shield (Bubble) and also Off heals with Shadow Mend.
2. The Shadow Priest will DoT (Vampiric Touch and Shadow Word: Pain) everything up, while the monk will swap to the target with the lowest HP.
3. Before swapping it's best to coordinate chain CC, for example Fist of Fury to stun one target and Psychic Scream (Fear) two players or silence one. Another Cross CC will be Paralysis from the monk and Hex from the shaman on two different targets at the same time.
4. It's best to mind control target that pops offensive cooldowns on your shaman
5. Pre cast Mass Dispel crowd control such as Polymorph or Fear so your shaman can break free.
6. Coordinate Defensive Cooldowns with your shaman and not to overlap it, your team has a lot of defensive cooldown i.e Void Shift to Monk and Touch of Karma, Dispersion, Void Shift Shaman to Save Him, Spirit Link Totem, Vampiric Embrace Heals, Offheals from priest and monk.
7. Keep DoTs (even on pets) to maximize instant mind blast procs and self heals from Vampiric Embrace
8. Pre cast Mass Dispel on Paladin Divine Shield (Bubble) and Mage Ice Block to secure the kill
9. Wind Walker Monk has huge burst potential with Serenity and Touch of Death which is best to use during a cross CC and target swap.
10. Shaman can pop Counterstrike Totem when both enemy pop their offensive cooldowns especially melee classes which usually result in them killing themselves.
