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

[Rhaja]

=_= this so much. I've been hoping that they'll cave and give us an emperor's new fist to hide our fist weapons because of how bad they look. Even the first few weapons that actually look like blunt weapons just float over your character's knuckles. However, what I've considered to be a major reason for why they float so bad is due to making the weapon fit with possible gauntlet design. Since gauntlets can get close to filling in the space they'd rather not have clipping issues. That or its just easier over all to make them like this.

Even though I would love for them to go back to a more blunt look for our weapons, the crescent moon knives used in baguazhang would be a decent design they could use while keeping that spaced out weapon look.

Still one of my favorite monk weapons, though it doesn't look like it should deal blunt damage at all.

The problem is all the weapons were designed as modified Cesti. You know those knuckle things you get at level one? Yeah they're all based on that with a fancier punching end.

[Rhaja]

I actually just pulled the regular version of those out and saw that between them and Titans some do fit more appropriately. Alas, very few look like blunt damage.

I'd like to take this time to thank SE for rectifying this issue, at least with all the MNK weapons I've seen *so far* in the expansion.

It almost makes up for the chakra system (and tornado kick) being terrible. Almost.

Screw everything else in this topic, just hurry and give me the invisible monk weapon glamour we were promised

[Treble]

It's funny that people even noticed that. I was too busy being bothered by the fact that monks are doing swan poses and shit to attack, when most of their go to attacks should look more like bootshine.

[Dami]

At least the new ilvl180 claw and hive fists look pretty neat as you can't see the handles which is probably what all the fist weapons should look like. The Nexus fists also looks nice enough as a glamour piece as it too doesn't have that annoying handle and has cool rune animations around it. But I do agree that those handles shouldn't be a thing. Maybe more gloves or claws.

It's a shame that Monks don't use the Knuckle Gloves that the Gigas Sluggers fight with.

I was actually expecting these to be Gold saucer prizes instead of the Claw weapons they stuck in there.

Should have gauntlets that completely replace a monk's arm gear. They should be slightly bigger than the normal gloves.

Like DMC3 beowulfs. Or whatever they are called in DMC4.
