Transparent Cesti/Monk weapon

[Fue]

I think this was asked in the fan festival. And they said why not.

IIRC, Yoshi mentioned looking into a tattoo style glamor option for our fists. That would be pretty awesome too, more tattoo options!

But there is logic in the monk's having a transparent waepon vs other classes.
Monks are Hand-to-hand combat masters. Having no weapon shown, allowing to see their fists do the work, would stay within logic of the class.
Other classes/jobs, on the the other hand.... an invisible bow/lance/ect would not work... I mean, there's no logic behind a transparent weapon for classes that are built around utilizing weapons.

Remember guys, we already wear gloves. We aren't exactly punching with our "bare hands" since we are wearing gloves.. xD

i wouldn't mind an invisible shield. most of the ones in this game i don't like anyway.

Indeed, if they do this they will have to edit the animation a bit.
No idea how swapped the animators are at the moment, especially with 3.0 on it's way and probably still in the making. It won't be anytime soon that's for sure.

If they had the time to edit the battle stance, run and jump based on a job, closing 2 fists for already existing actions doesn't seem that daunting.

I would like to be able to fight with one sword as well, without having to be penalized for not having a shield. In the gladiator description, it mentions that some fight with sword in hand, and others accompany with a shield. Meaning, shield should be an option.(While it is optional to equip a shield, gladiators/paladins cannot be used to their full potential without a shield.) Granted, it'd be kinda silly since we have skills like shield lob/shield bash, which then logically require a shield.... so a transparent shield would kind of screw up the lore.

New skill: Pimp Hand. Use all shield actions without a shield. Clearly some animations will have to change, but you can Pimp Slap a fool up close. Or Projectile Pimp Slap from across the room!

I jest. More likely you could make an argument for fencing weapons and skills to eschew the shield.

During 1.0, Gladiators threw knifes.
And now Rogues got all the knifes

If Gladiators get throwing knifes back, then Pugilist should also get throwing Chakrams back ^^
