10 Corrupted Stamina Solutions

Why bring this up now?
Age of War brought the largest change to the stamina system, which brought the largest nerf to any corrupted players ability to use any weapons and at the start the solution was just to use rolling thrust and use the opener HA and roll and strike.

Now, with most powerful HA openers losing a great amount of hyper armor this makes this strategy terrible, these weapons have most of their hyper armor in the 2-3-4 of their combos which are very hard to access by corrupted players. I am not a game designer/coder so hopefully one of my solutions is both simple and balanced enough. Here are the 10 solutions to the issue:

  1. Cursed weapons have a unique stamina cost (HA cost 10, LA cost 5). There are only 7 cursed weapons that would need their item values updated. (blackheart sword/hammer, carnage, destroyer, abyssal maul, heartpiercer, abyssal bow)

  2. Corrupted perk 4 for the strength line reduces stamina cost of attacks by 50%

  3. Corrupted perk 4 for the strength line causes corrupted to not reduce max stamina (this could be balanced with something like 50% reduced stamina regen if that’s too good)

  4. Abyssal armor grants 30 stamina per piece so a base corrupted player with the armor would have 125 stamina which is functional to start the 4th attack of most combos.

  5. Only attribute gained stamina (grit/agility) bonuses are reduced by corruption, any gained from food/potion or armor are not reduced by corruption.

  6. Adjust the values of the balanced weapon fitting and auto apply it to the abyssal bow / abyssal maul when it is spawned from the summoning circle

  7. Adjust the value of the oil of balance and make it turn the weapon its used on into an insatiable weapon

  8. Create corrupted weapon oils that turn whatever weapon they are used on into cursed weapons with 60 minute insatiable timers with greater effects than the base weapon oils (oil of balance reducing stamina cost by 50%)

  9. Corrupted vitality perk 10 restores 15 stamina when hitting an enemy

  10. Corrupted vitality perk 20 steals and restores 20 stamina when hitting an enemy

(also fixing the abyssal bow to calculate the damage values on the infinite abyssal arrow would allow corrupted players to actually use the 1 weapon that is still mostly useable with the stamina changes.)
