Weapon functions as monk

[Bodh-argent-dawn]

Hey there fellow monks!
I just decided to pop by and bring fort my wish for the future monk specs!

I have played monk since MoP and it has been bugging me for long that the weapons we carry on our back really have no function. Pointing mostly towards WW and BM specs with this statement. Tho blackout strike on BM looks cool on artifact weapon currently (and ofc its getting wiped in SL…)

However… I really hope that in the future we could see possibility to have a weapon based attack animations for the main abilities including autoattack and punches. Kicks would work with weapons naturally.
Ideally this would just be a toggle ability or glyph in class skills menu, giving the choice to the player. How they wanna proceed with the class fantasy

It’s a stat stick(s).

Also Monks aren’t supposed to fight with weapons. Traditionally they use their hands.

Bare-knuckle brawlers whose no-weapon styles were born in ancient Pandaria

I still wish WW could transmog their swords as a polearm though. I really like the look of some of them, especially the monk themed ones.
