I apologize in advance for the wall of text.

I know that I can't possibly be the first (and I certainly won't be the last) person to point out that sun stance is the absolute weakest of the four stances. Somewhat ironic, given that it grants a strength bonus. But that's exactly the problem: a boost to strength is the only benefit you gain while in sun stance. I realize that people will point out that you generate more ki in sun stance, but ki generation should never be a problem, regardless of which stance you're using. I use sun stance for exactly one build: my max strength half-orc 13 rogue/6 monk/1 druid stick wielder. Otherwise, I always choose to run in one of the other three. Think about it logically for a moment. Earth stance boosts your constitution, AC, threat generation, PRR, and eventually your critical multiplier (resulting in x4 if you take overwhelming critical as well). Ocean stance boosts your wisdom, dodge bonus, saves, and passive ki generation. Wind stance boosts your dexterity, attack speed (eventually granting permahaste), and doublestrike. So why was sun stance completely ignored in the pass? I don't think people would complain about something even as simple as healing amp while using sun stance. That is, after all, the bonus that the (admittedly outdated) House D bracers grant. I would suggest 5/10/15/20 that stacks with gear.
