Will we ever have working endurance?

[tristantio]

I think it would add a lot to have weapon weight be a useful factor in weapon selection, to give a great boon to light weight weapons (particularly in groups or periods without much downtime/long combat duration).

where weapon swings affect endurance loss, and no endurance = no melee swings?

won't happen.

Do you know if it was technical or balance reasons? And yes, that is what I was referring to, how it was in classic.

I don't think that was in classic, it was theorized to be and hinted on in several strategy guides but I never ran across not being able to swing my weapons due to lack of endurance. simply unable to jump.

I had a friend on live that played a monk, he said after he ran out of his starting food/drink he never bought any to replace it and he was a human monk so it was pre kunark. Wed hop on his account during luclin/pop raids and he never had food/drink on him.

dont think hed go through expansions without food/drink and put up with having to take E breaks so he can swing his weapons.

I remember on one occasion back in Kunark, somebody in my sarnak group asking me for a "zing", which meant invigorate, to recover their endurance. No idea why, or how the mechanic worked though. Did you stop swinging at low endurance?

pretty much.

Yes, each melee swing drained some endurance (the yellow bar below health/mana), heavier weapons drained more per swing.

A few classes have spells to recover endurance bar (I believe bards have a song that does it also).

One reason a weapon like the Elegant Darkwood Katana (from kith night) was decent is that its a 2her that only has a 2.0 weight (while something like the Oggok Cleaver at 15 weight would be a big endurance drain).
