It's seriously time. Can we start a petition against the handles on MNK weapons?

This has been bothering me since my original pair of Sphairai.
Can we stop with the design of making super huge monk weapons that are clearly designed to fit to a person's hands, yet instead of having our hands slot into the weapons, we hold a stupid little handle at the bottom of it?

This is so nitpicky, but it's so ugly. Take Kaiser Knuckles Zeta. It's a claw weapon, it has the claws, it also has a hand portion. You would think there'd be something you fit your hand into under the "hand" of the weapon, maybe a handle at the front you grab onto for extra control. But no, there's just a lonesome handle at the bottom, so that you're in fact holding a larger hand with your hand. It looks dumb.

Yes please, the handles irritate the hell out of me. Your hands should be seated farther up in the weapons.

Amen.

I can't remember all the times I've mentioned how PGL/MNK weapons were disgusting in design so much that I refuse to play the role despite it being a pretty cool class.

I don't even play MNK and this has been bothering me from the start.

I have to wonder how our characters would even hold these things straight? They should be a-floppin up and down
And yes, of all the things in the game this is where I'm drawing the line for suspension of disbelief. Fight me about it.

Yes.

This.

So much it hurts.

I agree fully. Also, this added to my post count. Yay.

Bothers me so much because the handle actually makes it completely useless as a weapon.

I'd like it if you could glamour MNK weapons off. MNK is the closest we have to martial arts, but I want it without the weapons.

Though I may be just making a stupid suggestion that's influenced by my recent watching and liking of Ip Man.

OP, I can't like your post enough.

Seriously, the stupid handles really irritate me.
Although, to be perfectly honest... a lot of the MNK weapon designs irritate me to no end.
Usually they're comically huge- claws that are as big and long as words or they're made to look comically huge because of the stupid handle. Mind you, I get it, there are SOME weapons that are like what we have in game, that is large and with handles, i.e. Katar's, Tekko, Wind and Fire wheels, just to name a few.... but there is no reason why every h2h weapon has to be so big and have a stupid handle attached to it.
This is especially true for something like the Hellish Claws.
