Monk; A Certain Skill and Weapon Design

The monk's One Ilm Punch skill is...useless? Future use I hope but no monsters buff besides bosses really.

Now the main concern are the PUG/MNK weapon designs are rather.. very poorly designed other than the relic weapon and Jamadhars. From how the monk holds the weapon, looks, it looks like he can do better damage without it. A design I was hoping for was when I first saw the PUG guild master and he had these iron gauntlets and my first thought was that was his weapon but all the way up to lvl50 I got these...pieces of leather-wrapped knuckles I hold. Granted we pick up claw type weapons but still just holding them and being a monk it would be so easy to drop them. Paladins Hold onto their sword, BLM their staff, etc. but Monks use fists weapons that should be Fitted to their fists.

I raised the topic so bicker or agree with me however you want. I like my relic weapon but it would look so much better if it was an actual fist weapon and not holding onto it.

I agree with the weapon designs for Monk looking really awkward. A fitted weapon would make more sense and even look MUCH better.

I dont really like monks....style, in all honesty their skills make you look like a wannabe kung fu master. The main hand weapons look just as stupid, Monks as their names imply should use no weapon or they should just use leather gloves, metal gloves, X gloves, ect. Having a giant jutting piece of whatever in your hands while looking like a goof-ball is the dumbest idea since Publishing a Prisoners book. Look where that got Germany.

When you say "wannabe kung fu master" I understand how you mean.

They should have different stances in the game for monk. In version 1.0 every race hard their own stance style while playing as a monk. Granted a lot of them looked terrible, but at least they had their own unique style. Now every is the SAME, and that is BORING. I personally liked the old stance from v1.0 for the hyur. It looked tame and dangerous; instead of being all "jumpy" as everyone's general stance is now.
