Re: Stamina rework
Except it has nothing to do with stamina and it in no way accentuates the issue. If they were using lasers, you'd be in crit, which is LITERALLY an indefinite stun until you die. The only difference is that one is labeled STAMINA and the other BURN.

Re: Stamina rework
Damage slowdown existing in the first place is the issue, as it causes a snowball effect in combat encounters. Stamina is irrelevant.PKPenguin321 wrote:I think stamina damage contributing to damage slowdown is the issue. Damage slowdown calculations should ignore stamina damage.

Re: Stamina rework
Stamina was never supposed to exist at the same time as one-and-done stuns. You dont need to rework stamina, the entire combat system from the ground up needs to be hit. The fact that this was implemented in such a fashion still annoys me... Cheridan chose the wrong path.
