When doing CRs with my new Ogre Shaman on this server, it looked like being hungry negated HP regen. Am I wrong?

no youre not wrong. it also stops regen spells from giving you HP which is wrong. it should just cancel natural regen

iirc, stamina loss is based on # of hits.. therefore lower delay with the same weight, and/or 2 weapons with low delay of equal weight to one 2h weapon is going to give you more stamina loss

i don't think there are different formulas, i think it is simply based on # of hits vs weight

I definitely remember stamina dropping when swimming and jumping. However, I don't remember much about the stamina bar dropping from weapon swings. I don't remember ever having a problem with it on my Shadow Knight, but I do remember running down on my warrior. Perhaps higher Stamina statistic improved your stamina bar regen? or if your Stamina statistic was over a certain threshold, some activities didn't drain your bar? I have vague recollections of being over a certain stamina number meant your bar wouldn't drain when swimming... that sound familiar to anyone?

I've dreamed of the day where my level 3 song wouldn't be completely useless anymore.


Please make it happen!

From level 3-4 it's a perfectly good spell, allows you to jump as much as you want. But then selo's is faster than constant jumping so it becomes kind of useless then :'(

I am also on board with recalling stamina dropping due to swimming or jumping. I don't recall it ever coming up with running but it's been a long time. I'm pretty sure that it wasn't an actual problem in xp groups (that I as a wizard noticed anyways..) until disc's began going off pretty freely. Hell if I remember when that was though, PoP?

Old thread discussing a heavy weapon:

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=4500

Interesting things to note are that even though its a 9/22 weapon most people think that it is a poor weapon simply because of the 10 weight (almost to the point of not using it).

Interesting quotes:
Speed influencing stamina drain

well the more the weapon weighs the faster your stamina is drained. A weapon like this would drain your stamina like crazy in a fight cause its fast and heavy.

It's more to do with it having 10 weight AND 22 delay. 15 weight on a 40delay weapon is a little different.

Stamina over a certain number negating some aspect of stamina drain

well this weapon rules the stamina thing is overrated cause is only 10 rocks wummys have 15 rock and peeps still use them and dont complain
this is a tank dream come true it procs a lot and
with haste is awsome anyhow by the time you get this weapon or ar at the lvl to use this weapon you stamina should be above 130 if not then go to ec and sell or you equip cause is time to upgrade

Some other people mention 100 and 120 as numbers to get your stamina over.

Good ol' EQMac still uses stamina also and is discussed here:

Shows that even a 5 weight weapon will drain stamina (when it has 22 delay at least) on a longer fight, so it seems that at around 5 weight the weapon starts becoming a stamina hog.
