If you truly want this game to be more offensive, then surely making it so you dont lost 7x the base stamina when you get parried would be a good start? The whole multiplier system needs to go. Just have a flat stamina damage for attacks, feints, parries and landed attacks. That way people can throw out an attack, get parried, and not have to wait 10 seconds to get stamina back. It will also mean heroes, like JJ, will actually have stamina drain when an attack is parried. Also zone attacks will have stamina drain. It just makes the whole fight system better.
