@lestat - yes I am using the Purple Flame Shield +10.

But you didnt get me. I said, they hit me and after the hit I still have more than half the stamina but I still stagger like my stamina ran out. O_O

It happened before but I taught I wasnt payng attention and I saw it wrong. But yesterday I did pay attention and it did happen.

I got you, the problem isn't in the stamina, the problem is on the Strength Stat then. As long as you have less Strength than your enemies, you'll be staggered. Both the Knights and Soldiers have a Staggering attack, even the Ninja's have one, when they do their roundhouse kick.

Try upgrading your Strength stat, at 40, I haven't been staggered by those moves in a long time, though it does happen sometimes.

Don't stop upgrading your dexterity stat, the raw Attack Power stat will not increase much, it only increases 1 point for each 4 dexterity or strength point, but that stat isn't important.

When you have a Dexterity based weapon (A weapon that has a number which boosts the Weapon's Attack, it goes from E to S), it's attack power will increase by a huge amount.

Take the example of the Lava Bow, each point that you put in Dexterity increases it's attack power by 1, and the Sticky Compound Long Bow +5 increases 2.5 attack power for each point in dexterity. The same goes for Sharp Uchigatana +5. 

Ok. I didn't know stats upgrade weapons.

I'm assuming that strength increases melee weapons attack.

Yep, it all depends on the numbers you see below each stat on the Weapon's stat window. You won't see much of a boost for normal weapons, but when you get prefix weapons to +5 or Unique weapons to +5, you'll start seeing massive gains for each point you put on each respective stat.

Well, through experimentation i've found that PB WT is on when in the icon on the top right of the HUD turns completely black, even the small grey glow around the Black central iris.

Homing Soul Arrow increases in number of arrows per each 10 points in magic, to a total of 5 arrows at 40 magic (or at least I think that's the maximum, haven't seen anyone with magic over 40 using it). It's a massive damage dealer for magic users, but melee users won't find much use in it.
