Please explain I wasn't familiar with this mechanic

putting points into any other stances increases the dmg kraken stance gives

Generally or does say snake stance points add poison damage?

kraken gets 2% synergy from each hard point into any stance

Do you guys think you should max overkill if you are using it? Or are the points better placed else where

Sounds good! What is your opinion about putting points to every stance or max one of them?

best thing you can do is max snake and eagle, poison enemies with snake stance then switch to kraken to finish them

Theres zero reasons to use overkill this patch. Just use stampede. If you really want to go overkill, sure, you will need some hard points into overkill, otherwise your AOE going to be a joke. Do not max it though, just ~10-15 points. Problem of overkill is that it deals awful damage to targets in melee range and it is simply worse than 1 point stampede.

I used to have 1 pt in overkill just for boss fights since stampede is meh against 1 target. But i found it is better to save those points and switch to sword+shield+stormblast against boss. You gonna have 1pt in stormblast anyway since you have deadalus.
