I was thinking about monk specific items and was trying to speculate what type of weapons their would be, if any. I think it would be cool to have many asian themed weapons that would otherwise not be in the game. Perhaps nunchucks or a katana or even a 3 sectioned staff. any thoughts? or any other monk specific item ideas? Perhaps samurai armor/mask.
I was hoping for some kind of weapons that could be dual wielded, but not bladed. Tonfa or dual sticks (bongtoogi is one type) would be nice as one handed versions of a staff weapon.

Didn't even think about tonfas.
Personally i'd like the ability to have some sort of handwraps so he's not really using anything but his awesome fists.
I can see a monk using a variety of polearms too, like a naginata or a hsu quandao.
Nothing but fist weapons and pole-arms all day! Maybe the Monk will be the elusive and very powerful scythe wielding character that the diablo universe has been waiting for.
The monk isn't a samurai, and i've never seen monks fighting with katanas or samurai armor ;p
poles and claws are fine.
Actually there are Warrior monks from the time of the samurai and yes they used katana and and various other weapons. There are actually lots of monks that are trained in tons of different weapons.
Whats wrong at giving monk a KATANA weapon (i would prefer a Shikomizue as it fits more to a monk style). Monks at D3 use shields also. I wouldnt be suprize if he uses a Smith & Wesson Model 29 .44 Magnum.
"you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"
Yes, the Monk needs a gun. He is a future Monk from a different planet. Fuck traditional guns, lets just give him a "trusty blaster by his side."
The whip I was thinking of would go with a Catwoman-type's agile supervillain. Or in the hands of the heroic Indiana Jones.
I don't think there's anyway Blizzard will want to make the monk class into something of a sadists. If they did, it will probably be something like this.
no wall climbing in d3 so as a weapon type whips more DH-looking from design perspective
they wont kill, they hurt and bring scars - and for holy warrior it's not-that-kind-of-style
just my opinion

LOL. It will make me a happy man if they do have these suits for the DH. But having pins pound into her face...safe to say people wouldn't like that, not one bit. Maybe to the male DH perhaps (fingers crossed).
I wouldn't care if its samurai armor or not, as long as its armor and possible full body I'd still like it. Like what Blizzards been doing, its not reality so don't be expecting a monk to be wearing bright golden cloth and expect that to be a legendary armor. Armor are the visuals to hint the level a character is at.

Won't happen coz they even remove pentagrams form art and other such things - it's 'fluffy marlyn manson' type of art they using now i'd call it like this

I write this before, but I'll do that again. I want Xena-style Chakram for monk ( melee + ranged )

Monk + whip = fail (they are monks, not sadists)
Monk + polearm-sword thing = ok
Monk + dual blades (scimitars?) = may work, for me at least

Or this...
Did you see what I saw? The little holes punctuated at the crazy speedo...
Is that only for breathing...or watering?
