Feints in "predator's hunger"are eating a lot more stamina than the victim that receives it.
Ex
i back dodge and enter the "PH"(which becomes PMercy in bloodtrance)

My opponent lounges at me with a top heavy

I cancel the "PH" into backstep+
reinitiate the 'PH" +
release the move to hit the enemy in the stommach with an unblockable move as a "counter".(right before he can recover from the attack animation)

But i end up with less stamina against an enemy that fell for her trick.

The stances are what makes shaman unique yet she ends up breathing like a heavy smoker trying to be herself.

You want video proof of how ridiculous the current situation is?
