Fist weapons allow both furious destructive power and healing potential. With three Decks all Dragon using Fists, and most other weapons being shared about equally among the Secret Societies, it is something of a Dragon signature weapon, but not nearly as much as Chaos Magic.
It can inflict the States of Afflicted and Impaired. Paired with Pistol or Shotgun, all four common States can be inflicted, and therefore Exploited. Blood Magic / Blade can pair with Pistol / Shotgun in the same way.
See Red, in The Wilderness outer cell of Fists, has the powerful and possibly unique ability to lock down an opponent completely, at the cost of locking down the caster. In group PvP, this adds the potential of inevitability to the assassination of key personnel in the enemy group, such as healers or State users.
Fist has few heals that are not also Heal over Time (HoT), and a few HoTs which do not have a direct heal component. Potentially, HoT gives flexibility to perform non-healing actions, but potentially locks the healer into even more button pressing than usual.[1]
Assault Rifle and Blood also have heal spells, and dedicated healers, necessary for tougher Raids, would be considering whether to also have either Blood or Rifle.
Unusually for MMOs, dedicated healers who choose Fist also have the opportunity to be extremely potent in PvP fights, inasmuch as they have multiple abilities which lock down the abilities of opponents (and without hindering their own, as with focus spells). These lockdowns can be useful in PvE fights as well and augment healing by reducing incoming damage : Go For the Throat, See Red, Bushwack, Restraint, Muzzle.
