Like title says, why are monks using staves? They never use it… not a single monk skills involves hitting an enemy with your weapon.

i wish dual 1h were always equivalent to 2h so i could use the hidden fists at all times. im so glad we dont attack with the weapon because the animation would probably be horrendous.
i think there’s a glyph to make one attack use the weapon though

Because the animation for FoF while having the BrM artifact mogged is hilarious

Mechanically because it gives us a decent spread of weapon types ( and because one of the specs uses int )
Thematically monks use staves IRL and in game. ( see MoP main video )
QoL wise it is one craft instead of crafting an OH/MH ( 2 sparks but less matts/gold cost )

I quite like some of the stave mogs available although some of my outfits would look better without it so I do wish there was a ‘hide weapon’ option or less restrictions on weapon mogs in general.
I just got the glyph of the jab and I really like it.

I miss using fist mogssssss 
I do think the stave is a nice look thematically for the Monk, and I can very easily visualise a Monk whirling a stave around and donking a foe with either end. Catapulting over things with it etc. Very cool. Sadly the sorts of animations we have going on don’t really capitalise on that sort of vibe though (that I know of).
I am going to go look for Glyph of Jab next time I log in, thanks for the heads-up !
Generally, I’ve been carrying twin katanas, or some kind of matched short-swords depending on mog, as I like to carry the trading post soup pot on my back where they look quite cool crossed against it when sheathed. Looks good on a draenei anyway.
Never been keen on huge oversized swords, I do like the the various fist weapons but again many are a bit oversized.
My favourite stave if I do use one is usually a simple decorated wooden staff from Vanilla or one of the bamboo ones, rather than a smoking gothic animated edifice from hell with added spinnythings and inhabiting demonic forces … I’ll leave that to my Warlock 
Also a fantasy giggle .. I wanna jam it down in my flying cloud like ‘Monkey’ after whistling it to me, then zoom off into the sky to bash bad people !
It is but I will never give up my Rock em Sock Em fists
What should we be using? If you see a problem say the solution. (please know how monk works though)
I think the now-removed skill Blackout Strike used a weapon animation.
Friar Tuck RP reasons.
I’ve always wanted a hidden weapon option.
