Food is always on.

I don't need the mana to stam, since I usually have half a bar when they're out. Problem is I have half a bar of health too, and they have 3/4 or more.

Heal self is horribly slow and heals less than I'm gonna lose than when the 2h'er realizes I switched to staff and starts beating on me. I feel like lesser pots would be about the same. Major pots are out of my price range atm.

You NEED mana to stam...Done

You need to rank parry to solve the rest of your problems. Once it's over 50, the stam cost of it goes down.

You should take little to no dmg while parrying....I never heal myself...unless it's an incredibly long fight or I'm running

I have mana to stam, but at that point in the fight I don't need it because I still have plenty. My parry is like 30, I take very little damage when I time it correctly and my stam drain is low. The problem is that I take damage while doing this, if I mistime parry, or when I decide to swing and they do too. I could just stand there like a brick, I guess, but they would just wait for my stam to drain if I held my shield up all the time.

So a few hits get in, and I have half health, and I can't survive the few hits they would get in due to stam regen while I try to kill them.

Sounds like you need to get your vitality up a bit.

Base stats> all

ans as said above, higher parry skill will reduce your stam cost
