Don't forget even if they added classic-style stamina, you only need 100 stamina stat to reduce the penalty for running out to merely being unable to jump. Nearly anyone twinking with a reaver can also add a few plus-stamina items if his starting stats are below 100. Paladin has invigor himself, anyway. In practice the stamina system mostly hurt low-mid level dual wielders who were often things like wood elves, or poor newbie paladins/SK's wielding something like axe of the iron back. It was largely a nonfactor for established players.
That being said, it's unlikely we'll ever get classic stamina unless P99 takes the also-unlikely route of migrating to a different client. They tried several times to get stamina and invigor-type spells working on P99 and failed each time--our client simply doesn't play nice with it. I well remember some of the past attempts.
