Best archetype for fist weapon combat in PvE?

I'll sum up why I'm asking this question: I'm a big fan of monk classes, even when they don't have the trappings of a Tibetan/Asian ascetic martial artist.

In other words, pugilists, kickboxers, and wrestlers also apply.

However, in this game, ever since all the classes got overhauled, there doesn't seem to be a clear cut fist weapon build - a melee warden who specialized in fist weapons. (However, there was a tendency for them to suck even on the best of days, and most often they were only useful in PvP when I'm only interested in PvE)

So, my question is... which of the various melee classes that can even equip fist weapons would be able to make the best/most fun use of them?

Warrior can equip this but his dmg will be weak so 2 handed or double handed axe or mace is good
Warden can still equip this but in battle it's just an accessory weapon
psi can equip this but it's also for status

As I have never leveled to cap I can't say how viable a fist weapon scout would be. I do believe it would be the closest thing you are after. Melee scout with fist weapons = ninja. As scouts don't use 2-h as I understand and melee scout is very viable but they are a kind of tank (avoidance). It's worth looking further into though imho. Warriors are fun too but scout may be more correct thematic wise.
Hope this help mate.
Cheers

many classes can equip em but i dont know of any who would use it useful^^

since the last patch there are only 3 types of weapon and thats 1 hand,fast and slow

fist weapons are fast ones and the only advantage they have is you can hit more often but their dmg is lower...

best choice may be warrior who can stack up effects with every hit to stun and debuff his enemy but then you wont do much dmg ^^
