[Snake]

Ki Awoken should have a bonus effect that grants +5% Damage and -5% Damage Taken per 10 Ki the Monk has in storage. Even if this ends up nerfing the stats it grants down to the baseline of 5 (from 10).

This skill is not reliable on its usage one bit and ends up being more self-destructing than beneficial in the overall game plan of a Monk.

In the end you're taking more damage by yourself than the enemy can do to you, given it's a percentage that cannot be mitigated by any meaning. A bunch of stats isn't really what makes a "transformation"-esque technique good, it's its extra effects. For example, Death Knighting is not good because of its bonus stats, it's due to Fallcall, so is Shine Knighting due to its petticots of Blind.

Kind of self-explanatory.
