So I've been using basically the same weapons for my entire career. A little while back, I noticed that I was getting more fatigued when I was swinging my scimitar, to the point where I could potentially end up exhausting myself if I didn't stop during my rotation and just wait for a few ticks.

I figured, no big deal, I would simply up my stamina and solve the problem. Upping it by 1 didn't help. So on my last circle, I upped my stamina by 1 again, as well as my discipline.

Now, I've noticed that I'm using MORE fatigue when I swing my weapon, and recovering less per tick. What the heck?

My roundtimes haven't changed - I'm getting 4 seconds on my scimitar, 6 seconds on my 2HB, as I have been since 10th circle. I'm not encumbered, and I'm using the same rotation I have been the entire time.

My stats are as follows:
Strength : 18 Reflex : 18
Agility : 17 Charisma : 12
Discipline : 14 Wisdom : 15
Intelligence : 16 Stamina : 20

I have about 72 in both weapons, and I'm fighting sand sprites.

The only thing that I can think of that's changed, is that I've been adding stats - I only added to stamina for the first time since I selected my stats, 2 circles ago. I've only added 2 ranks of stamina and 2 ranks of discipline total, since my first circle.

Any ideas what could be causing this? Am I just losing my mind?

That is strange. With your stats, you shouldn't be seeing fatigue problems.

There are a couple of bardic enchantes that can cause fatigue issues if you aren't a part of the bard's group; I ran into that in Plat last year. The character in question wasn't pleased! ;)

Also, were you under the effect of a stamina-boosting ability when you trained? Training under stat-boosting spells and abilities does sometimes create bugs.

Did you move on to a stronger monster? If I recall correctly, a monster completely sidestepping an attack will give a greater penalty to fatigue and stance than if the hit landed or was otherwise blocked.

Cobra doesn't give a stam boost. They are the same weapons you've used, correct?

Not sure if this could be any part of the calculations, but I'll throw it up, damaged weapons/armor?

If you are increasing your Strength or Agility or even using abilities that boost those, maybe you are reducing your roundtime and therefore getting more swings in before your Stamina can recover. Just another thought.

I didn't read anything prior to this, but in my experience you're either breaking roundtimes with Strength faster than you're training Stamina (which is normal), or you're using heavier weapons. Both of those things can cause your fatigue issues to become more prominent.

The solution is to train Stamina or, in the meantime, use lighter weapons than you have to.
