They could be equipped in the shield slot and allow for maybe some sort of ranged utility or maybe like as a trigger buff. So like you get a stack of Xbuff then chakram skill is available after a certain stack is obtained. Then the skill is active which throws the chakram (ranged potential) cone effect and causes an open wound debuff that increases damage done to the target. Yeah I know, it sounds pretty amazing and monks are already the master class but you know fist weapons are barely visible and all-_-...
