It isnt even new. Just player craftable. I was looting bloodstained Sai in CL when I started the game. They have been on NPC vendors forever.
Monks have been pandered to looks wise enough in this game, far more than any other class as far as distinctive weapons and armor only usable by them.
There is absolutely no "real world" justification for the psuedo Gi as implemented in this game, and I for one am very happy some of them are finally being recognized for what they are in t8, nothing more than alternative graphic armor.
Stat em for monks, fine. Make them exclusive, no.
No other class archetype has any distinctive Playermade items at all. There is not a single Player made item, armor or weapon, that distinctively announces my Assassin as a Predator, nor can I think of any other archetype (save monks) that has a defining look.
I don't see any justification to denying this weapon to other classes based on its graphic appearance. No single class should claim ownership of a look.
1) Just because you were looting them at the start of the game, doesn't mean they shouldn't have been brawler useable then or now.2) Yes, because that hood your assassin is wearing in your signature can be worn by everyone and doesn't easily identify your character as a predator... so everyone should be able to run around in pointy wizard hats? and i know i would sure like one of my characters to be able to wear one of them flashy swashy hats with the feather even though he isn't one
