Ok, I have not read all the comments to this post so this may have already been posted. PS has a paced combat system in my honest opinion. Unlike the old medieval battles where fighters would swing blades only when they had a chance of hitting their enemy, characters in PS swing constantly causing their stamina to drain quickly. This can be avoided by repetitively stopping and starting combat. All-out fights may only last a few minutes as previously stated but you have to keep in mind PS is not set up for all out fights. It is much more of a stop and go kind of combat system. Medieval battles lasted for hours, this is due to some good strategy of the fighters. In order to maintain constant fighting the troops would have to cycle through positions not unlike a flock of birds. Some fight in the front taking on the worst of the fight while others rest in the back. I think this could be incorporated in some PS group fights if needed to allow people to carry on their combat but it may be difficult to find other players online that have similar training. To be honest, I think the stamina penalties for wearing certain gear are needed but they certainly need balancing.
