| Does Marine just need to get a walker? |

Took Marine X out last night for a while. It has been quite a while since I've really had him out for anything much as far as Missions ( besides the Baby New Year Missions ) and noticed something weird. He is now a total Endurance Hog. He hit 50 last March and I haven't respeced since then, but have never had Endurance Problems. He has the fitness pool ( Health and Stamina both 3 slotted } and at least 1 Reduced Endurance in each attack. But now I was running out of Endurance on almost every mob of 52 Carnies and Malta, and this was besides the usual loss to sappers etc.
Was there something in a patch that may have caused this? I had to stop off between missions and replace a damage in each attack with a Reduced Endurance to get it under control. Granted I had all attacks 4 slotted for damage which only got me to 102% from 97%, but it had always been fine before.
Anyone got any Ideas?

maybe you need to see a dietician?
i'd say try fighting something other than carnies. it always amazes me how much drain they put on you.
i think the changing of enhancements was wise.
were you running solo? you tend to notice endurance comsumption more than when you are on a team.

It's those 2 particular groups that you are fighting. Even with rooted on and every relevant defense on. I've stood still near some carnival and watch my endurance drop without me even trying to attack. As for the malta, the guys with the stun guns come in groups sometimes, and I have firsthand seen them all attack at once with the stunners. My endurance dropped a good 20% from getting hit by 3 or 4 of them. No damage worth anything, but if it were anybody but a tank or a scrapper WITH defenses active, they'd be dancing around like someone having a seizure. Came around a corner one mission without rooted activated, to a group of 2 ops and a sapper. Wasn't pretty, only saving grace is I was in a group.
Also, you're used to playing other characters, so you are used to watching the endurance meter drop at a different speed. You probably have a specific attack routine you follow depending on the enemies you are fighting. On my grav/rad controller, I hardly get under 50% (even got complimented on the fact I could sit there and constantly throw holds down with rads, and keep on healing), on my kat/regen scrapper, it drops like I'm swinging an I-beam. When I get the fitness pool, that'll change though.
Either way, your toon is probably built great. You just haven't had the joy of really playing it in awhile. Like driving a muscle car after driving a luxury car for years. It isn't a rougher ride, it's exactly like it always has been.

I noticed the end drain that carnies do when they die seemed to have increased. The last toon I played with them, my 43 tank, I was running out constantly. It seemed to have increased. Not sure about the Malta. Haven't faced them in a while.

I'll go and agree with the rest here. Carnies drain some MASSIVE endurance. They're not quite sappers, but they're nasty with their little electric attacks.
Try hitting some Council or CoT missions and see how they go.

Gonna be hard for him to check on enemies that don't drain end at his level. All the groups, including Arachnos, Nemesis, that come with lvl 45+ mishes drain end more than most. If he exempts down for other mobs, it won't be the same.
