Report 1652

Special Report #1652
Skillset: Kata Skill: AngknekArms/Chest
 Org: Nekotai Status: Rejected Dec 2007
Furies' Decision:
You will only ever hit two of the three lucidity affs at any time anyway, so
changing one does not solve anything.
Problem: A guildmember pointed out to me that angknek has three lucidity
afflictions and one ice affliction. The large amount of lucidity afflictions
makes lucidity stacks a little too easy, and changing one of these to a steam
affliction might help lower the amount of guarantee'd lucidity afflictions
available.
Solution #1: Change Angknek Chest to Slickness, replacing a hinder affliction
 (epilepsy) with a steam (slickness) - not that thematic, but
 well, better than nothing.
Solution #2: Along with solution 1, change angknek arms to epilepsy. This
 changes a parry-bypass affliction to the aforementioned steam
 affliction instead. This also becomes more in line with Nekotai
 traditionally not having much parry bypass

Sorry, got my afflictions mixed up after staring at the list for so long.

I think these are fine although I'm not sure if I follow why the scenario in the
problem statement is a bad thing.

Seems like it's in regards to the "monk stacks are too much guys" thing, Wobou.
And sure.

Yes, this is in response to people complaining about Nekotai for whatever
reason. Generally speaking, this report is rolled into 1672 already, but in case
1672 does not get approved, this should be considered on its own merits.
