Kick attack: Yay or nay?

[Meleena]

Kicks should be essential, they are martial artists, not boxers...
They should be able to punch, kick and do jumping hit animations, just see tha attack animations fro City of Heroes Scrappers, they are completely awesome.

Kicks don't have to be a stance like in FF11, I would be happy to see them even as just normal hits...

Exactly what I was thinking when I said a hard looking side thrust kick.

Sure, we can apply that when we have some boxing gloves and a boxing ring.

Exactly? Interesting choice of words which brings me to my comment above yours. When I see some gloves and a ring we can call them boxers. Kinda like when we see an arena, some men pitted against other men or lions, we can think of Gladiators as actually gladiators.

They're clearly more martial combatants rather then the most literal - and ill used - name "pugilist".

OK? When I see some black belts and a martial arts ring we can call them martial artists. Its not like I don't want to see kick attacks, but considering the fact they call the class pugilist and there aren't kick attacks its a bit more likely to believe they meant them to be "pugilists" and not martial artists, and just forgot to put in those kick animations. Like I said, I do hope the advancement paths or unlocking advanced jobs (however they decide to do it) will give us the full fledged monk complete with kick attacks.
