stamina issues

Angarato

so I'm a bosmer stamblade with 200ish cp most of them in stamina regen.tumbling and warlord etc.
since the latest 2 small patches that came after orsinium ive been having huge stamina issues when using my sword and shield.
i dont really have any numbers but it feels like im running dry on stamina way way faster than ever before
i have 23580 max stam and 2410 stam regen with purple v15 tristat regen drinks.

anyone else notice, know whats up with this, am i just paranoid and seeing things or did they ninja nerf stamcosts or regen or something?

There's been theories that the cost of blocking has gone up since Orsinium. No one at ZOS has commented on it, so I have no idea.
I run 2h/bow on my stam and don't really run into any stam problems. Then again, I have 31k max stam without food.

bash too. bashes used to be much cheaper, now I find, when I use the bash in my weave(LA->Skill->Bash) I empty my stam pool VERY, VERY fast. I cannot sustain during pledges and usually during long boss fights without a healer spamming fragments.

I usually have to stop using bash after each skill(A hard to drop habit now)

OK I thought it was just me. I'm blowing through my stamina pool noticeably faster than I used to and it takes absolutely forever to regenerate. I am finding myself standing around waiting and it's ruining my fun, which is on the low side to begin with since I'm on my second go-round of Cadwell's. Borrrred.

I'm soooooo glad that I ditched S&B on my magicka DK and got used to dual Destro before this came out; I'd be in a right pickle if it weren't the case

I've read about the cost of stamina being increased, though I can't remember where. Sounded legit though, tests compared with results from before the patch.

Hey folks. We've read through the thread and identified what happened on our end. This turns out to be because the cost scaling for Blocking in the Veteran Rank levels was never scaling as intended. When we updated the Battle Leveling to the new version, the scaling began working as it was intended to.

Unfortunately, that means that Block (and possibly sneak and sprint costs, too, though we have not yet verified that) costs are much higher for players at the highest levels than it has been in the past. So, to correct that we're going to reduce the scaling value so that it will end up approximately the same as the previous cost at VR 16. This means it will actually be cheaper than it was before for all previous levels.

ah cool thanks for the update. hope they also test BASH cost. it seems to be way higher than normal too, even with the bash passive from sword and board

They said:

"We'll try and get it in the next update, but it is entirely possible it cannot go into that one. There are a lot of moving parts that have to mesh properly for a patch to go Live. Best case: This coming Monday. Worst case: January. In all likelihood, somewhere in between."

Worst case January...

ah no worries i started a new character called Wrecking blow hero. he will be saving cyrodill in my main's stead with his superior power of skillfull play the way the game is intended.
