Use of the stamina in fight?

[Posseidon]

For the last days, everyone is talking about wepons leveling. So one of my friends really help me to get new gear and a wep to level. But here is my question: with all the leeche and the bonus, what is the point of stamine in a fight? I alwayd tough stamina was for running and when you are overloaded...
Can anyone help me with that?
Thank you

Stamina also sets how fast you swing your weapon, in conjonction of SSI. So if you get hit pretty hard by a monster, your stamina will go down and you will swing slower. Usually, faster a weapon is the lowest its base damage is. So as you advance in the game, you look to add enough dex, stam and SSI in order to swing big slow weapon at max speed.

oO ok! Its why i need to put dex and stam on my heavy 2 H axe! So more stamina i have, the best it is for my axe! But if i swing faster, with DI ill hit more too? So SSI and DI is a good combo?
Thank you Fingers, master leveler xD

Stamina and SSI are the only factors controling the speed of your weapon. But when you higher your dex, it automatically highers your stamina. I beleive 1 dex = 1 stamina. so you can add 8 dex + 8 stamina on your axe, wich will higher your stamina by 16. Also, dex is usefull if you have the healing skill as the more dex you have, the fastest your bandage registers.
