The fight
Phase 1 · 0:00–3:36
It still cost about 7.8M damage the raid had to make up.
Voidswarm opens portals that release a Venomous Hulk, Voidweavers and Bomber Beetles. Adds within 25 yards of Kith'ix take far less damage (
Commanding Presence), so they die away from the boss.
Extinguish hits the whole raid hard: grab a
Light's Embrace orb before it lands. On Heroic, the Hulk and Voidweavers drop eggs (Incubation). Each time Kith'ix reaches 100 energy the raid collapses into Liadrin's light for an intermission.
Phase 2 · 3:36–4:12
At 25% health Kith'ix goes into Phase 2 and any adds still alive die. Everyone gets
Luminous Grace (50% more damage) and the raid has about a minute: each
Eightfold Eclipse hits the raid hard, and the eighth one wipes it.
Null Gates spawn under a melee, a ranged and a healer and fire
Nullshards that stack
Nullify, which kills at five stacks on Heroic.
Negation lands on a tank, who swaps and runs into a
Null Gate within 8 seconds to close the gates nearby.
Your DPS compared with the raid iDPS over the whole attempt, the way the raid's meter counts it, so it includes any time after you died.

The very top Windwalker parses run Conduit of the Celestials, but it needs specific secondary stats, low latency and a lot of practice: you juggle short buffs from three abilities, and two of them overwrite each other. Until you're consistently parsing purple, Shado-Pan does more damage, so this page compares you with the best Shado-Pan Windwalkers.

What each stat is worth to you now
Your stat values are on their way.
Crit is your spec's second-best stat, and it's only 21% of your secondary stats. Crit gives most of your abilities a chance to deal double damage, but it does not affect
Touch of Death or
Touch of Karma. When two items are close, pick Crit.
Gear upgrades iOnly the slots worth your time. Suggested items carry your best stats (Haste, Crit and Mastery).

Gems
You're lightest on Crit, your spec's second-best stat. The gem also has Haste, your spec's best stat. Haste speeds up your attacks and Energy regeneration and shortens the cooldowns of your
Fists of Fury and
Rising Sun Kick. Gems that are mostly Crit help close that gap.
