I really like Monks. Greased Lightning is one of the most unique combat mechanisms I've seen in MMOs, forcing you to be quick and think on your feet (or fists). Ever since SCOB their design has gone downhill. The original Sphairai relic + AF gear embodied what a Monk was about: Fierce fighting with a sense of Eastern influence.
Then comes the Heavensward sneak preview and not surprisingly, many are disappointed. Our Japanese comrades voice their thoughts!
2. Destroying our illusion of the expansion with a single picture, stop that!
3. What's that on the head?
4. Use the Roomba to distract and cook that broccoli on the head.
5. Monks are useless, with this they look so weak.
6. That weapon looks like it could protect you though.
7. Why do Monk weapons look so bad?
8. Has a Three-Kingdoms feel to it.
9. Looks like a Boxing Trainer who takes punches.
10. Monk-san please use your Roombas to clean up the place.
11. If you look closely, doesn't it resemble a Horseshoe Crab?
12. The weapon looks too lame LOL!
13. Lame! I'm quitting my Monk lol!
14. If this is the successor of the Zodiac Weapon, you'll have to use it for many years before it can shine.
15. I'll hang myself if this is a Zodiac Weapon.
16. This is seriously awful. Even if it's 3.0, I'm quitting Monk.
17. Wha-, dual-wielding Roombas lol!
18. The forums are going to be storming with this one. The design is beyond awful.
19. This is seriously a Monk... There's 3 more months to go, going to get a Ninja Zodiac weapon.
20. If it's cleaning floors, leave it to me!
21. Am I the only who thinks those look like Tambourines?
22. Licking the floor is the job of a Dragoon! That's enough already!
23. Do you guys have some sort of resentment for the Monk during development!?
24. This must be some sort of mistake. Yes, I'm still dreaming.I feel sorry for my Monk bros out there. Perhaps we'll look better when we're wearing our Power Ranger suits?
Alright time to get back to cleaning the staircase.

It reminded me of Yang as well.
oh Ember is going to kill you....I think.
Not a big fan of the weapon or the hat, but I do like some aspects of the outfit, wish they'd shown it on a female so I could see how the shirt fits. I'll just glamour Kaiser Knuckles Zeta and friendship circlet with it.
Runa, I honestly don't care what Japanese players said about it, They, along with weeaboos, have the worst taste in characters and glamours anyway.
