This is based on my limited observations of PvP and what other people in my faction generally agree on (I don't speak for my whole faction, they all have there own opinions but some do agree with me).

IL has gone back to Zero Sum combat, its all the same now. Interlock --> Desperation + MA Prowess/Firearms Skill/Find Weakness --> Spam every move available to you. It kinda make interlock boring to be in and boring to watch when it just special after special after special. No-one ever tries to get people in states cause you know the other person is only using special attacks so any attempt at all will be pointless. This has resulted in people not bothering to use any sort of defense (not loading any Hyper-defense) at all because every round of interlock is your accuracy vs their accuracy. As a result people complained Snipers and MKT's are overpowered cause they don't have any defense at all to the attacks and get stepped on by these people who have bothered to take advantage of the situation.

My solution I know will be very controversial and will result in a big flaming *puts on fire retardent suit*.

I was think we could add a "stamina bar" that decreases as you use special attacks, the more special attacks you use the less accurate you become. This will help fix the endless gunmen cycle of DPE, Pistol Aerial and Pistol Barrage/Kung Fu and Karate using Sky High Side Kick, EFK and Machine Gun Fists. And lastly MKT's who can put 6 knives in you faster than you can ask for help over Vent, let alone team chat if you don't have vent.
This will also help with MA's who can use WDD + MGK or Foot Sweep + Ki Punch off the same state as they will be less likely to hit with both attacks, fixing another thing many people want nerfed.

Better yet we can tie the stamina recharge rate to your vitality making that attribute useful.

This would be a big change to the system and would surely require the devs to open up the test server so we can extensively test out this idea.

What do you think? (please be nice to me SMILEY)
