Weapons and stamina regen

barbarian340

I saw someone say ranged weapons are better at stamina regeneration than melee... Why is that? I figure it would all be the same... If I'm a Magick sort... Wouldn't I build just as much stamina per light or heavy hits with a staff as I would with a DW?

Maybe they said this, because you can always use heavy attacks to restore Stamina. With melee weapons, you must be in range to do this. Staying near your target is laughable easy in this game, gap closers are op. But yea, still

So as long as bow has no stamina regeneration passive, I wouldn't see why it's better than any melee weapon, expect for the small range benefit

On one hand you cannot do heavy attack with melee if you are not close to target to regain stamina.
On the other if you re Redguard and have Adrenaline Rush passive, It will be hard for you to run out of stamina with goood mele build.
On the third some sequences like 2h wreaking blow - heavy cycle buffs each other doing great dps while your stamina never ends

So all depends on resouce managment of your build.
