blizz please, i beg of you, if you give us anything make it be 2handed ww monks, fist weapons suck, are hideous and suck and are hideous and suck some more, the ww monk started with a 2hander ffs, why cant we back to better ways of fighting, its bad enough that you forced those awful disgusting fists of the heavens on us, but now we still have to use those things that even sargeras would agree with are awful, i will bow to saurfang’s stupidity and baine’s cowardice if you give me 2handed ww monks

It always annoys me when a class can use a selection of weapons but a spec then restricts it. At the end of the day they are only stat sticks, so concur with the OP.

I seriously miss my staff dps days. It was a really good look for the spec, and it just doesn’t make any sense that we are artificially locked out of it.
It’s even the same staves that brewmaster monks would be able to use! And there isn’t any master/group loot, so it’s literally impossible for us to compete on gear!
Also this. If it absolutely has to be done for some convoluted “mechanics” reason, then the class should start without that weapon, and the spec should grant it.

2h WW sounds good & would flow well with the other specs.
There’s something satisfying about slapping someone around with a stick as BrM.

Real 2 handers offer surprising ammount of control and agility, so I see no logical reason why they shouldn’t be available to WW

Bearing in mind that they were from MoP-WoD, and then got taken off us.
There is neither logical nor mechanical reason, only (I suspect) the fear that we might occupy hunters’ niche of 2h agility dps.

We welcome you, brothers and sisters, in Survival Waiting Room. We want the same and simultaneously the opposite thing - viable dual-wield. There are no reasons to NOT give it to us - neither lore-wise (Rexxar is a dual-wielding daddy), nor mechanical-wise (hunters had their ability to dual-wield since release). There are dozens of topics around, both on Reddit and off. forums (EU, RU, NA), but still no reply on any of them.
Same as you, they took it from us for no reason. Apparently, since they keep silence, they just want to leave both of us like we are now because of class design left since Legion artifacts (sigh). I can’t see another particular reason for that.

I honestly think the reason monks lost 2h dps was because hunters gained it. We’re too visually similar so this was the result.
(I’d settle for being allowed to transmog my 2x1h into a staff. Because why not? Solves any possible balance issue.)
Visually similar? You’re not even wearing the same armor type.
Why would it be a problem for 2 specs to use 2h agility?
Blizz probably think players would get confused about which was for tanking and which was for dps…
Even though brewmaster uses basically any secondary stat and turns it into a tanking stat.

Why is it that Holy Paladin can transmog shield + 1h to 2h but WW aren’t allowed to mog from Dual to 2h?
I don’t even care anymore of getting 2h drops, as an actual item. I just want that look back. Allow WW to mog it! And while you are at it, allow all specs to use their classes unlocked artifact appearances.
And yet we have three plate wearers smacking enemies with a single two hander.
Blizz removed it because they obviously want to streamline more specs into competing for select gear. Having dps monks compete for 2h would mean that survival hunters, feral druids, guardian druids and brew masters and windwalkers all compete for them. Moving windwalkers to DW only means they were moved into the enh shaman, outlaw rogue group which had very little classes competing. To be fair I can get behind this.

That’s actually the most reasonable explanation I’ve seen ![:slight_smile:](https://d1bg94bbsh66ji.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=6" ":slight_smile:")
And if this is the case of it, why not let us transmog 2x1h into 1x2h, for cases where the class supports that type of weapon in other specs? It seems weird that BM and MW monks can both get staffs, but WW cannot.

I agree.
I would also like the option to fight with my weapon. Make it a book ability like zen flight you can toggle. I know monks are unarmed masters, but it’s quite jarring as a brew master that I inly hit things with my stick every so often. It also doesn’t really separate how the specs look in combat very much. A toggle for those of us who want weapons utilised in tiger palm and AAs would be nice.
Removing 2h from ww was one of the main reasons why i shelved my monk. Forcing those boring ugly fist weapons in legion were just icing on a cake and made me hate my monk.
Personally I grabbed the invisible fist weapon mog from peak of serenity pre-legion nuke, there is/was a vendor selling handwraps that were fist weapons, but hid the entire weapon. Was actually rather satisfying. Not sure if they’re obtainable anymore.
It is, you just have to use the handy timewalking dragon to go to the pre-Legion version of the Peak 
Recently saw someone using this fist to give his character a left-handed look, was unusual and interesting
I’d rather they make fist weapons actually stay on the fists when using abilities. I grinded out the thunder fists in Legion and they look awesome… When you can actually see them that is
