However you want to implement these cosmetics I don't care, you guys do you, however I do have a few suggestions for new animations and weapon overrides.
One of the ideas I had recently was Fighting Styles, basically, it would be a cosmetic override that would change all your melee attacks, magic attacks, and ranged attacks (Including skills) to a different style. Like an eastern fighting style would be a different stance, different swings and strikes. Like instead of the Backhand being a backhand it could be a cool kung fu punch, or a kick could be a Tae Kwon Do kick as opposed to the current one.
As for magic, that's easy, an eastern magic system would be heavily based on Tai-Chi and the more meditative and stylized aspects of Kung Fu, instead of pulling energy together, and launching it, every spell would be part of a flow, allowing the magic to move and shift and do its own thing as opposed to forcing it to do as you ask. Wrack could be something like a Chi infused open palm strike, The staff wielding would be more like what you would see with a Bo staff with some more stylized animations to fit the long wait time between auto casts.
And lastly, Eastern style weapons! I would love to carry around a japanese style armoury in my cosmetic overhauls, simple katana, nothing overly fancy and glowing with flames shooting out of every orifice (I really don't like flashy weapons/armor), just simple things, like a katana replacer for the mainhand weapon, a wakizashi as a defender/offhand weapon, a Daikatana as a two hander, held the way a Daikatana is supposed to be held. Sai, Bo staves, Kunai, Shuriken, so many different weapons could be made from the far eastern cultures, and I really wish there were more eastern style weapons and armor that didn't have to be flashy, just neat and practical. Stuff like the eastern clothing.
