Stamina usage is hard to keep track of in combat.
It would help greatly to make the Stamina bar display expended stamina in a different color like the health bar does when losing health.
Extra bonus points for also displaying the missing stamina for a given action on the bar (ie: unable to dodge and displaying the missing amount as a colored bar).
Stamina management is pretty unforgiving early game, especially if playing on Extreme, and with certain combat actions having delays (ie: chaining maul attacks, the climbing picks' dual strike) it's easy to run out of stamina without quite realizing until the big OUT OF STAMINA thing pops up on screen.
Incidentally, plz consider moving the Out Of Stamina message to be less intrusive considering how often it can happen in combat (same goes for Item is Breaking).
Cheers,
