Windwalkers wont carry daggers and 2handed weapons, otherwise they keep them for the looks but will still only punch and kick everything instead of swinging whatever statstick they have on them.
You can use swords, maces, and axes in addition to fists
But as others have said; there will be many occasions where your weapons stay sheathed. I suggest finding a pair that fit nicely on your back, since you’ll get that view a lot.
That said, I mog for minimal weapon visuals as WW. I used to favour a staff or spear in WoD, but since we are now denied 2h (survival hunters stole our niche!) I prefer bear-handed strikes.
