Power AttackShield Bash Stamina Cost

Post » Tue May 29, 2012 2:32 pm

Hey all :) Does anyone know if the stamina cost for power attacks and shield bash is fixed? Or if they ae a certain % of your max stamina?

Like for example do sword power attacks cost 45 Stamina or 33% Stamina?

Thanks :)

I would imagine it's fixed since a % would make increasing your stamina useless
no sense in increasing your total stamina if every technique requiring it eats a %

don't have any numbers to back this up but besides the logical deduction I just made, I seem to be running out of stamina a lot less compared to the start of the game

It has to be fixed, otherwise, yeah, increasing stamina would be pointless. Not only that, but the perks such as that one in the one-handed tree that reduces stamina costs from power attacks by a pecentage... I'll say yes, it is fixed.

EDIT: okay wouldn't make it pointless as you'd still be increasing your carrying capacity.. but yeah

Thats what I thought at first, but then seemed I wasnt getting any extra attacks with higher stamina, but.. Just found 2 bits of +stamina gear in a ruin :) tried power attacks with them on and got a extra one out of my bar before it was depleted so I guess it is fuxed :) Thanks for the replys.

Before someone else says it and spreads misinformation further:

Doing a power attack with 1% stamina is not a power attack. It's a slower regular attack. The damage is proportional to the amount of stamina you have available.
