Stamina - Are you going to bother?
I have 6 slotted AM with 3xENDRecovery (or whatever they are called now) and 3xRechargerate
I will still take stamina and see how much difference it gives me.
Cant really tell how effective it is until i get SO's
Am going for stamina for both my corruptors, Ice/Dark and Fire/Kin, I dont really consider it a wasted power yet.
"Well, they found my diary today.
They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"
I guess I'm hoping AM will make the difference. 3x endrec and 3x rechred in AM, 3x rechred in hasten, and 1x endred in end heavy powers might just work. The payoff for me would be 3 extra powerslots, the danger is that I won't have nearly enough endurance to use the extra powers anyway
I'm hoping to take recall friend, superspeed, CJ and superjump instead. I think I might just go for it and hope a respec, free or otherwise will get me out of gimp jail if I mess up. I'll keep you posted
As Rad/Traps I'm going to say no. With Sprint and Combat Jumping running permanently end hasn't been an issue so far. I don't really see this changing and I've not slotted any end reducers yet. There are far too many cool powers to take for me to even consider wasting three of them on the fitness pool. We'll see how it goes.

Seconded
Well i took the cowards way out and took stamina on my rad/ rad (i really would rather not have done to be honest) and at the minute it's proving really useful, allows me to fling attacks, heals and Rad infection etc around without issue. hopefully though once i get the inf and the slots i can respec out of it at a later date as i wan't more of the powers from this set
That might be a better idea for me too, take Stamina until my late 20's then respec out of it when I can slot AM and Hasten properly with DO/SO's
I don't think I'm going to bother with stamina tbh.. playing thru 32 levels with my MM, I don't seem to need it as much during the fights as the 'bots do the hard work for me.
I can think of better places where that "new power" can be used.
I'm keeping Stamina - with up to 5 toggles running at once (Radiation Infection, Enervating Field, Choking Cloud, Acrobatics and Combat Jumping), I think I'll need it,

[/ QUOTE ]Yeah, you dont need stamina if you chooce to play MM's the boring way.
As for myself, I have never had a character without stamina, and cant see having one anytime soon.

hehe me too. i need all the end i can get to make sure my corruptor can keep healing/fighting.
I've been doing the experiment to see if I can live without stamina on my Fire/Rad Corrupter. I took hasten and AM and I thought I'd see if that would be enough.
Just about to hit lvl 28 and I've pretty much come to the conclusion that I need stamina. As it is right now whenever I start blasting I burn through the end at a rate of knots even if AM is up. Soloing an orange LT will mean I have to rest afterward and I have more downtime than almost everyone I team with.
I don't feel I'm drastically gimped without stamina, I solo at an acceptable rate and pull my weight in teams, but its clear I would be a lot more efficient with stamina.
Respec Trial here I come
Same here, I took stamina, couldnt quite live without it. Does let me spam speed boost though and keep all my allies in their happy end boosted combat frenzying state. Of course that also keeps me in an experience happy state, so all happy with that
Ive been torn between fitness and non fitness builds on my rad/rad corruptor too.
Reached lvl 16 last night and took enervating field.
With rad infection and env. field on, my end is just about ok.
But once i start hitting with proton volley and especially electron haze my end drops like a stone. AM only reduces the effect marginally.
In a team i might be ok, just hit AM snipe the first minion and then simply debuff and heal. This isnt what i want tho.
Sounds like i need to drop some of my intended powers and take the next 3 slots from the fitness pool.
If anyone knows a way round this please tell me.
BTW i intend (and have done already) to slot end red where i can.
Right then, stamina here I come, thanks for the info guys
I tried to bypass it on both my Ice/Dark and my Rad/Thermal:
The Ice/Dark is crippled due to lack of endurance - she's the first in a team to run out by a long way - and there's no way I can run any toggles. Bit of a pain when Dark has a nice toggle debuff, and dangerous when she's often the only one on a team with a heal. So, I'm giving in and getting Stamina for her.
The Rad/Thermal has faired a little better, but the moment a team she's in gets into a bad spot, and she has to pump out the heals, sheilds, and attacks? Her endurance plumets, and she's left unable to act right when she, and her team, most need her up and running. Even if I back away from attacks I have a rough time at those points... so, she's getting Stamina too.
I've never had stamina before as I'm used to always carrying CaBs with my Empath. Now that I've got a character I actually want to do some damage with though, it's a bit different and I'm wasting a lot of space in my Inspirations for 'Just-in-casers'.
Stamina seems the way forward for me with my Dark/Kinetics build as I use up energy like I munch through chocolate, and espcially with those AoEs, I want to keep pummelling them with my slow and steady attacks so they wonder where their HP went.
Which begs the question, if you're an Endurance hog like myself how many slots do you think it's worth putting on Stamina? Also does it work like your Endurance goes up in faster, small bits or the normal rate with a lot more recovery? I have never used it before and I'm hoping I get it right before I need another reason to Respec
Thinking 3 slotting Hasten and Accelerate Metabolism for recharge reduction as a way of bypassing the 3 for the price of 1 that is the stamina route. 1 endurance reduction in most other powers and I think it will work. Reduced in effectiveness after ED anyway, how many of you guys are planning to take stamina?
