Do you want to swing your lance harder and for a longer period of time? Do you find yourself lacking the stamina that you need to perform with your broadsword? New and improved STAMINA is just what you need to make those special moves really special!

With two (2) new active abilities, STAMINA BURST and STAMINA SECOND WIND, you can find the energy that you require to fight at your maximum potential.

STAMINA BURST unlocks at 100 ranks of Physical Training, and grants you +15% stamina regeneration for 3 pulses, followed by a -15% penalty for 3 pulses. STAMINA SECOND WIND unlocks at 150 ranks of PT, lasts for 30 seconds, and while it is in effect grants you up to +30 on your offensive CMAN rolls. Offensive CMAN skills and their profession guild equivalents will cost 0 stamina while you're under the effects of STAMINA SECOND WIND as well.

The fine print: SECOND WIND has a 1 hour cooldown.

These are fantastic!

Any er plots to add some bonuses for going over in ranks in PF? Like at 200 ranks of PF, lowering the Burst 'cooldown' penalty period to 2 pulses, then 1 pulse at 30? And a +5% bonus for 200 ranks, and another for 300, culminating in a +25% bonus to regeneration at 300 ranks for 3 pulses?

..then scaling bonuses for Second Wind, say scaling up to 60 seconds at 300 ranks of PF, with some more scaling bonuses to CML up to maybe +60? +30 CML is pretty good, but I still encounter some of those well post-cap dudes even that +30 isn't going to do much against if they're the equivalent of level 111 (though I may be underestimating the +30 without actually having used it yet, since 0 stamina cost + haste = keep trying 'til you get it sort of sitch).

You think to yourself, "FFF-"

A giant white bunny hurls a powerful lightning bolt at you!

You evade the bolt by a hair!

Boost is specifically set up to not change the net amount of stamina that you regenerate - that allows it to not have a cooldown or other additional cost.

Second wind is a pretty strong ability and we're pretty sure that 1 hour is just right for the cooldown. The combination of the bonus to your roll and no stamina cost should open up some pretty potent combinations, and +30 is a pretty big bonus as well. The 'purpose' of Second Wind is to help out with (as somebody else put so well) those 'boss monster' situations (though you are of course free to use it anyway that you see fit! [except cheating. no cheating.]).

Speaking to you, Ceyrin asks, "Do you spontaneously come back to life when you die?"
Speaking to you, Ceyrin says, "Because I do."
You say, "Yes. I have a condition called Annoraxia.""

I agree, also would be cool to add the spirit recovery in SPIRIT verb and the health recovery rate in HEALTH to more easily spot enhancive recovery bonuses or negatives in yellow.

I think those are the only two among all stats, skills, and recoveries not now visible through a game command and requiring a bard loresong or observation/math to detect.

Forgot to assume bear aspect!

>stamina
Maximum Stamina Points: 181
Remaining Stamina Points: 162

Stamina gained per pulse: 161

So you must have had to lie down and assume bear aspect to get that.

Is this you?

Thanks - I'll see if I can reproduce that. Can you check to see if it corrects itself if you logout and back in (not immediately, but whenever it's convenient)?

I've logged in and out a few times and it still seems to be broken today for those two characters. For the others who hadn't used sigil of escape, I'm showing different stamina pulse rates in the three different positions. Thanks for checking.

Ergh. I didn't actually do anything yet. Hopefully that's the end of it, but if not, drop a BUG into the system, please!
