Next skill to be added: Martial Arts! A new agility/magic/prayer combat skill!

Hello!

I had an idea the other day for a new combat skill. Martial Arts! You see, I am a repeat on-agian-off-again RS3 player. I love the game! But every time I come back to it, I always get burned out on one particular aspect of the game; combat skills. I love crafting and questing, but I just find the combat to be kind of unoriginal and old. I mean, as far as combat in the game, except for the revolution and ability system, it hasn't changed or been added to since the beginning. Which is fine! A good thing even since it works! People don't complain about it! Which is why I would like to suggest the next new skill: Martial Arts! It doesn't change the original combat, but it does still add something that hasn't been added in a long time. A new combat skill maybe more dedicated to the use of abilities and synchronizing/optimizing them on your ability bar. There could even be some new weapons, like melee staffs and sais, or new 'armors' that don't provide defense but movement buffs. It could also use a prayer-like system with ki points like from DnD, but instead of the power coming from an outside source like the gods or runes (AKA Prayer and Magic) it would come directly from the PC instead and be replenishable from resting or new potions. This could also tie into a quest about the Eastern continent or something.

I know with the new Necromancy skill coming out soon, the devs are probably taking a break from skills for awhile, but maybe they will read this and keep it in their back pocket for the next pitch meeting!

Tell me what you think!

Thank you all!

It would be kinda neat to have a monk style combat skill, I could see it repurposing under-utilized weapons like claws and maybe get us more fist weapons in general. Maybe even give us back the melee feature of battlestaves
