Report 1684

Special Report #1684
Skillset: Kata Skill: ShofangiIceStack
 Org: Shofangi Status: Approved Dec 2007
Furies' Decision:
Solutions 1, 2, and 3
Problem: Currently Shofangi can cause 4 ice affs at surge which in terms of
balance times is equivalent to 5 dust afflictions or 8 lucidity afflictions.
This is due to Kumato (shofangi surge low) granting internal bleed as a stance
active effect. While monks are supposed to be bursty at surge+ 4 ice affs in a
form is excessive. This report seeks to remove the ability for a shofangi to
cause 4 ice affs in a form.
Solution #1: Replace Kumato's active effect with stupidity.
Solution #2: In addition to solution 1, replace logami gut with internal
 bleeding + sickening (in line with logami head which does
 damagedskull and blindness).
Solution #3: In addition to 1 or 2, replace Gore (Twist High)'s from the
 current damaged throat to slickness.

Not only is the burst really good, but from experience, the stack can be
maintained through stance changes, which effectively means the target can't
fight back. So support Solution 1 and 3. No opinion on 2.

All are fine, but solution 3 is the most important.
