I've played unarmed since launch, through all its buffs and nerfs, so maybe my input is reasonable here.
Assault and phantom strikes same CD makes sense, same skill tbh.
Weighted punch and axe kick are still bread and butter one two punch combo, and in a fine place once agility levels normalize at 200.
Lariat is good again, allows a follow up without being a stun chaining meme or useless like before. Though lowering the stun to 1 second miiiiight need a bit more damage to justify it on the bar. Not fatal tier or anything, but something that really makes it feel on some Killer-B shit.
Iron body I think needs stun immunity, it's an intermediate most people ignore cause you can be stunned while damage immune.
Flying kick needs something else honestly. Damage isn't bad, but when GCDE and stun got removed, it sorta fell out of use in unarmed meta cause it has no real identity. It's sorta like a worse fatal? Hard to describe.
Power scaling is fine the moment you hit beyond 200, but maybe adding more weight to weapons would make that gap feel more real. Advanced stances are really what make unarmed viable.
Also gauntlets are a thing, you can dev them as a unique. That's how it should be, weapons for unarmed is an oxymoron, the idea is it would be something special, not common.
(Also what Fru wanted with the volcanic immunity thing SORRY I FORGOT.)
