Monks Deserve More Weapon Animations!

I’ve been playing Windwalker for a while now, and one thing that has always bugged me is how little we actually use our weapons in combat. We carry these awesome staves, polearms, and swords, yet most of our attacks are just punches and kicks. Don’t get me wrong, I love the martial arts style, but wouldn’t it be amazing if we had more abilities that incorporated our weapons?

Imagine a spinning polearm strike, a fluid staff combo, or even a sword parry animation—it would add so much flair and make our weapon choices feel more meaningful. Right now, they mostly feel like stat sticks rather than extensions of our fighting style.

Other classes get cool weapon animations, so why not monks? A mix of traditional martial arts with weapon techniques would make the spec even more visually exciting. What do you guys think?

Glyph of jab was a godsend for me but i want more weapon animations!
