I was honestly taken aback at the fact that the brawler had a sword at all. When I think brawler, I think fists. I think weapons should be a separate class entirely. I would like to be able to pick between using a weapon or not. If it was my whole body, or even just my fists that was on fire, then having it stay on at all times would be pretty cool I think. And yea, I think the weapons themselves should be made up entirely of fire (or ice, or energy, or dark, or whatever), that would be cooler than just having a physical sword with those effects on them. That way, it could be summoned and disappear in a logical manner.
