[h3]■ Hero[/h3]
| All
- Improved to quickly draw weapon to perform a sprint attack or use a skill during non-combat sprint.

> However, the following heroes that can attack while moving, including Goyen, have been exempted.
→ Goyen, Venslar (Patience Stance), Herawen, Orwen, Gorgath, Wu-Ju, Durgeff Durkhan
> Damage for on spot basic attack (LMB) and forward basic attack (W+LMB) remain the same.

[Dev Note]
An on spot basic attack has been added to up the fun in controls.
Additionally, it was quite difficult to manage the changes made on stamina where you did not restore any after using basic and regular skills or while hunting. So, we are to improve on this aspect in managing stamina by allowing a small amount of stamina to be restored when performing on spot basic attacks.
Lastly, the frustrating aspects around not being able to perform attacks while non-combat sprinting has been improved so that you can smoothly transition into performing attacks.
