Stamina Exploit/Tech Using Items

Issue Description (Required):

There is a stamina exploit/tech that takes advantage of the lower max stamina while holding items to almost instantaneously go back to full stamina on your melee weapon.

Stamina is remembered as a percentage when switching weapons/items. This works best on a high stamina weapon like shield (10 stamina usually) and switching to an item with low max stamina. Healing draught, medkit, tomes, and grimoires have a hidden max stamina of 1 while potions and bombs have a hidden max stamina of 4. Dodging while holding one of the items will immediately start regenerating stamina. As seen in the video evidence, you can regen back 1 stamina while holding the medkit then switch back to your melee weapon and be back at full stamina. After that, the video shows the same tech with a higher max stamina item like a potion and it puts you back at nearly full stamina.

I didn’t discover this tech. It was discovered years ago by someone else and can confirm that it still works. Reddit - The heart of the internet

My video footage was taken on the official server but with sanctioned mods. It shouldn’t affect the results.

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

1. Spend stamina
2. Switch to item (healing, potion, bombs)
3. Dodge while holding item to immediately start stamina regen with lower max stamina
4. Switch back to melee weapon with higher max stamina and be back at full/almost full stamina

Just adding a couple more details. You don’t need to complete the dodge to do this so with a macro you could do it even faster than what I showed in the video, it can be done instantaneously. It also works while dodging against a wall which is what people use to hold corners while never running out of stamina. This stuff is incredibly broken.
