A Viable Hand To Hand Combat Option

Tweaks to Pugilism and the Free hand bonus for a magic only or Hand weapons tied to the Bludgeon or maybe even the Polearms tree.

 

Making fists use the Bludgeon Tree (makes sense) would go a long way toward it.

They might not need to do anything other than that, but the next step could be some fist weapons. After that it would be done.

 

should have never introduced it in the first place, need to actually work on the core of the game then you can tweak and add skills. they keep putting more on a plate already overfull with items.

It is getting out of hand already, more is not the answer

 

this is true there is a lot already but after all it is an mmo and it will always be changing. Thing being added, things Being removed, and just changing up the states on Items. Don't get me wrong I'm with on the the core game part this is important. It's just some thing small that can be added in over a long time like Pugilism.

 

“I punched things to train my polearms. Now, I can tie my shoes from an upright position.”

 

You don't need to train Polearms for that juts look at Pugilism Specialization

 

I would love a full on monk class... I mean "skill tree" :-D

 

That would be one of the builds you can do with it and that would be fun
