I admit that my original argument for fighting batons being given fighter stats was based entirely on the fact that the twin fighting stick look, to me, is a quintessential 'monk' look. And it's got the fighter stats, and I'm glad, because now my ww main can look forward to giving them to my monk alt when she levels.However, having the stats be favorable to a particular class is severely different from making them ONLY for that class. Monk/bruisers already have the katar, the claws, the knuckles, and the fistwraps which are exclusive to them. Brawlers are the only class that can get a bare-hands appearance before T7, and a gi look before T8. I see no reason to limit the use of any item to a particular class because its look is more traditional to that class. Then again, I'm all for opening appearance slots to any armor, regardless of whether that class can actually equip it or not. But I digress.I agree that the weapon should be opened to monks and bruisers as an equipment choice. Obviously they can use 1hp weapons because they have the katar. But limited only to them? IMHO, no.
