D&D 5E What are people hoping for in Monk UA?

Eubani

Legend
We all know it's next so what are people wanting? What subclasses and alternative mechanics are you hoping to see? As for me WotC has yet to produce a Monk the has grabbed my attention aside from the shadow and elemental monk in the phb, flavourwise they sounded great but I was somewhat not thrilled by them mechanically.

So what would I like to see:
- A weapon specialist monk
- A animal flavour eg tiger style, crane style etc
- Ki cost reduction on Elemental monk
- A mobility based monk

I would like some different uses for Monk ki.

Like, eating bananas.

or with a cute red hat working for an organ grinder.

I'll let that sink in. You can thank me later.
I feel I've seen these ideas elsewhere, maybe you shouldn't ape other posters.

Chalk me up for the Weapon Master/Wuxia Swordsman monk - I dearly want my Soaring Blade from 4e back, and I really don't know how to go about doing it myself - and the Shen monk. The Shen PrC, with its "Beast Fist Kung Fu" branches and its transformation into an ass-kicking anthro was goofy but fun, and I'd love to see that come back in 5e. Hell, I just might try homebrewing both, if the Monk UA disappoints me.
 


Actually to be serious, a monk archer similar to the prestige class from Sword and Fist 3.0.

Call it, Way of the Bow



So a wisdom based monk archer
