Monk Profession
Except that it would be rather weird to have a monk in the kungkittensense when they had a monk as in holy man/woman in GW1.

From what I understand, Revenant is the last profession to be added. They will be adding new specialisations in the future though, so it could be possible that we’ll see some “monk-like” aspects in a future specialisation.
I doubt we’ll ever see a class that fights with open hands/fists. We require weapons for their stat benefit and sigils and I doubt they’ll introduce something like brass knuckles as a weapon (for many different reasons).
It could be possible for a future specialisation to be given dagger (or mace) mainhand+offhand and have animations that look like close-combat fighting and with close-combat style names. Use weapons with small skins and it will look more convincing.
Oh- also, it seems like we’ll be getting bo-staff melee style combat with Revenant, so there’s that to look forward to.

There are mesmers who shoot lasers from great swords, I would enjoy it if my thief could do unarmed combat as an Elite specialty with a couple of daggers or scepters equipped but resting on the back of my belt visually.

I would love to see gw2 bring forward a monk. I’ve talked to other characters in the pvp lobby and the topic is always quick to get people saying they want the monk also and what traits he/she would have. You guys have been so great at balancing characters, I just know a monk would be a lot of fun with spin kicks, jumping side kicks, iron palm, iron skin, etc.
Enuff said!
gotta call it martial artist, because in this world monks are healers.
I agree it would be a great class and promote it every chance i get.

they can make a weapon look like anything.
h2h weapons could look like knuckles, tattoos, energy around the hands, gauntlets, or whatever
It needs a class! bo +h2h +focus + maces
mechanics will leaps/fall dmg
combo based fskill mechanics
weapon skills all change based on which position in a combo chain you are.
backstory the evolution of a canthan martial system based fortifying the body with protection magic, and then forging the body as a weapon itself. Similar to many historical martial arts, in part developed due to the limiting of other weapons, and more offensive magics.
Bracers for the monks could add additional abilities (enabling weaponless fighting) as the toon levels go up. also there are several weapons that are tied to monks such as a zen monk-bow and arrow, or some of the specialized weapons tied to Shaolin Monks.
They aren’t going to add a brand new weapon(brass knuckles) just for a specialization, and I doubt they are making a new class.
Melee staff or land spear…mabey. Then add mace/mace. melee scepter, Offs hand focus, and hammer? Fits a martial artist well enough.

Enigineer kits, but for Warriors. You equip them in utility slots and this would switch your weapon skills to new unarmed kicks, jumps and punches or whatever.
Could be one for different styles, or something
