This is how my memory remembers bits and pieces of it:
1) Heavy 1-handers (like 5+ stones) drained stamina very fast. 2) Heavy 2-handers (like 5+ stones) drained stamina very fast. IE, I remember the weight requirement being exactly the same between the two weapon types, but logic is making me question my memory. It doesn't make sense that a 10lb 2 handed club drains stamina just as fast if I were to swing it with one hand. Rusty weapons made the song useful on the bard at early levels. 3) Running was a problem on my Paladin, but not on my Druid or Ranger. This mostly comes to mind while running in the Karanas. I did have to keep Invigor memorized for groups on my Druid. 4) I vaguely remember losing stamina while swimming, and having to go from looking at a 20 degree angle above water, to about 75 degrees to keep afloat. 5) The Stamina requirement of 100 sounds about right for the avoidance of attack issues. Was the speed just slowed, or could you eventually get fatigued and not attack at all? I feel like 25% stamina slowed your attacks, and 0% prevented attacks...but that is purely speculation. 6) Did Bash/Kick drain stamina? I remember timing my kicks with my stamina so I didn't drain it too fast, trying to keep around the 50% mark to avoid penalties. That's all I got. I'd say get as close to classic as possible. I'm not sure if you could find any great resources on "Stamina Mechanics."

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! | ||

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 Quote:

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

This link:
http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=6297 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. | ||

Obviously not scientific but could be useful:

Also throughout all the pages I am noticing after the cap is exceeded (100 or 120 or 130) the only negative effect of stamina is no longer being able to jump (primarily bad when in water because you are unable to jump out of the water at that point). | |||
