Fist weapon visibility?

Hello! Have the devs ever said why they can’t just attach fist weapons to your side like a regular weapon? Fist weapons are really cool, but it’s kinda sad you can’t see them at all unless you are attacking something. Sucks even more for healers that want to use fist weapon mog.

It would be really cool to get fist weapons to maybe attach to the back or the hip? Kind of like off hands do.

Just hit the “Z” key, and unsheath them so they’re always out like I do.

Not really a solution they get put away any time you press a healing spell. Regardless it would be really cool to see them on the back or hip, it seems possible

Wait nevermind this was changed at some point. it used to sheathe the weapon when healing but now it takes it out. That is awesome.

However would still be cool to see the weapon itself when sheathed

I can see why some would like this.

Personally, I like that they’re invisibly sheathed.

You know one day if it is possible, the option to sheathe your weapons however you want would be very cool. They did this in sanctum with the 1h sword, and I know they said it would take a lot of effort to do but it would be really cool to be able to do. A lot of swords I’d want on my back, a lot of maces I’d want on my back, etc. would give everyone the option to do what they want with their weapons

Probably a technical limitation on their end that they don’t feel is worth tackling? I think Lost Ark had visible fist weapons at all but it’s been awhile so I can’t confirm. Definitely missed opportunity though because there’s some cool fist mogs.

Dude. I want you to take your arms, and reach them down to about your shoulder blades. Now think of having to do that quickly…

That part makes no sense my man.

It is a reasoning at least lol. Especially if you have some of the smaller fist weapons. Those vanilla 2 prong wolverine claws? Yeah no on the back lol

I agree with your overall sentiment, but I think that player was saying they want the ability to place swords of any type on their back or sheathe them etc. Fist weapons are probably never going to be visible like the OP was asking anyways.

I don’t think he mentioned swords like he wanted to change them, I took from that he just wanted fist weapons shown. I can honestly say, if they put fist weapons on the belt…it wouldn’t be unreasonable really. Well…except those weird spinning saw ones. That would not be pleasant to just be running along, dip your arm a little low and now you gotta heal yourself again

I think part of the problem is how humongous so many of them are

why can’t they just be out/unsheathed all the time?

The person you replied to didn’t even mention fist weapons

Sure, why not. I’m all for more customization. I think some are ridiculously big, so I typically transmog them to the smaller vanilla options.

I would REALLY love for all Rogue specs to be able to transmog daggers into fist weapons.

I like my bladed tonfa “Fist of the Deity” fist weapons, would be pretty slick to have them sheathe on the back.

Would help for my RP reasoning as to how my character uses them <_<

Elemental shaman show them while casting, though it’s not always consistent as to why. Sometimes it shows. Sometimes it doesn’t. This happened in Legion when they got the fist artifact weapon.

If it works for them, not sure why it wouldn’t work for other classes. Oh that’s right, because this C team half azzes everything.

I thinks the reason they gave was, they didn’t want any unnecessary bulges.

wait what? you are saying that makes no sense but putting a gigantic fist weapon in your pocket makes sense? There is no way you are bringing sense into this right? You have to realize that is a terrible reason, like you actually think a weapon going on your back that you reach for makes less sense than a massive fist weapon coming from your pocket? I just cant wrap my head around you saying this lol.
Go look at how polearms are taken out when unsheathed, your hand sits directly under the blade, it looks terrible and also makes no sense because you lose the entire point of a polearm (reach). Sense is no factor here

Regardless, i did say either back or belt. I would prefer belt personally, but back is definitely an option

So i actually tested a bit today.

It is only the elemental shaman fist weapons that show when casting. Everything else disappears when you use a cast.

So now back to my original point, would be cool to have a toggle that shows your fist weapon when sheathed and also should probably make every fist weapon stay out when casting.
