Report #1144
Skillset: Stealth Skill: Waylay
 Org: Nekotai Status: Completed Apr 2013
Furies' Decision:
Solution 1+3.
Problem: Stealth Waylay is an under used skill in group combat, and entirely
unusable in 1v1 (where it could be most tactically applicable). The skill gives
3s stun + sprawl. Although this effect looks great on paper, Waylay is
problematic for several reasons. First, the setup requires the monk to passively
wait for the target to enter the room while momentum deflates & flatlines.
Secondly, the skill consumes balance twice: 4.1s setup and then when Waylay
procs. There appears to be ~0.04s window for the monk to react while the target
is stun+sprawled.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Reduce target stun to 2.0s-2.5s ~AND~ decrease monk
 waylay proc balance to 1.0s-1.5s.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Solution 1 + slight increase the chance of stopping
 the waylayed target from leaving.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: Solution 1 (and possibly Solution 2) + gain 1
 momentum upon successful waylay proc.

Solution 1 and 2 is fine. I don't think momentum is a problem, since this seems
to be designed to be used to catch someone by surprise, sort of like a trap on
entrance.
