I think that stormforged/hydra should be BIS for kraken specifically and I'm glad that's becoming more the case. I dislike that azuredge is still so good it'll cheese your way to eye no problem.
My main problem with with kraken is probably how for a world boss it's more of a singleplayer experience that requires you avoid everyone at all costs.
The boss doesn't require much cooperation at all to secure kills and even then it usually never happens outside of one friendly person basically giving up damage to heal others.
There's no group mechanics, no benefit to saving people who get grabbed or any benefit to healing people who get hurt.
It makes it seem like you're actually rewarded for caring only about yourself or even griefing teammates. Negative sag, body blocking, holding off until kraken goes down to leech eye damage, frostburns, grimoiring people to their death was a thing at some point.
If I can be that guy for a second I think it's interesting how it fits lore-wise to prove how terrifying humans can be where the greatest threat is themselves all along but gameplay wise it makes me sad and Alex slam his keyboard
