It's an age old question that's been on the forums and reddit over and over again. Will monks ever get to have transparent claws/knuckles? This is something that's come up since 2.0 launched and now that we are into the expansion and nearing 3.1, it would be nice to have whatever updated information a GM or dev could give us. Last time I checked, there was word that the dev team would look into giving monks more blunt looking weapons for HW, and though we have the Esoterric and Alexander blunt weapons, it would be a great favor to the monk's out there who just want to punch things with their bare fists. I'm not sure how coding works with this stuff, but the Emperor's New items make equipment invisible... if this lore/theory is applied to monk weapons, we wouldn't even need to reanimate to close our fists because we are still technically holding a weapon - it's just invisible. I think way back when, a dev mentioned we could possibly get something like boxing gloves... which I would gladly take over giant spiky cuffs or little cuffs with glowing blue thingies that look like I need a manicure.
