Report #1827
Skillset: Kata Skill: KrakenStance
 Org: Hallifax Status: Finalised
Problem: KrakenStance is the Killer stance bonus all monks gain from the base
Kata skill. The effect is that 10% of that stances damage is done to all the
monks enemies in the room. 10% of a damage form is negligible, between 80 and
120 damage to each enemy. This doesnt synergize with anything in the monk kit,
which is very single target focused. In addition, the strikes against enemies
can proc reactives from the secondary targets, meaning you very often lose in
this exchange rather than it being a bonus, as you get entangled/blacked out/etc
from every reactive in the room. You cannot opt out from stance bonuses.
[A: 8 R: 0] Solution #1: Change the effect of KrakenStance: Damage done by
 attacks in Kraken stance do the same damage a monks
 basic attacks would do rather than the reduced damage
 done by attacks with afflictions. Remove all AoE
 effects from KrakenStance. This would result in about
 20% increase done by damage in this one form (meaning
 160-240 damage ish) at a net loss assuming there are
 more than 2 enemies in the room, but make the skill
 work better with the monk kit.
[A: 2 R: 4] Solution #2: As solution 1, but make the effect last for 5
 seconds, allowing time for a second attack to benefit
 for another 160-240 ish damage.

Support sol 1. Not a fan of sol 2 personally.
