i would expect their combat animations to show that but i would very (although quite happy) surprised if their non combat animations were affected by their style.
also another thing i was wondering about was weapon choice, i know in eq1 that staffs and hand to hand were the most prominent weapon choice for monks (not sure if they could do anything else but i never saw monks w/o atleast a handtohand weapon) so i found it interesting that they are allowing monks to use swords, i personally am not going to as it does not fit with my mental picture of a monk (im going with a staff btw, think kilik from soul caliber for what im going for
), so what do you guys think about monks w/ swords and if you are gonna try a monk, which will you choose? (sword, staff, or hand to hand are the choices, the hand to hand might be split into hard or soft but i dont remember exactly)
