When doing a GQ I am not really hunting SE, but they appear eventually. The same for Titans. What to do when I see a Titan? I take the opportunity to get more TKP as I am unable to secure one. In the case of SE, I always use a mercenary hoard, so I don't have the same problem. To me, the idea is to maximize the outcome.
As for the Titan Dbl, it only affects Titans. I think for GB should be the same, I mean, only affects global creatures. Now I know it is not like that; to my surprise. Initially I thought it was a bug, but according to other players, seems to be by design.
Hope BG/Hoof read these posts and clarify/solve it.
Thanks!
All "doubler" buffs affect stam in the same way (except quest hunter, which doesn't burn additional stam) regardless of what you hit with it. This can be illustrated by the EP Titans. These Titans are NOT (I'm told) doubled by TD. You have to use QH since they are part of a quest. But TD, if used, still uses up the stam, even though it doesn't increase the number of "kills" on those Titans for the quests. We are advised when doing the Elemental quests to not use TD, since it's a waste of stam and of no benefit.
Titan hunters that use FSH will add all other beasts that spawn there to their "do not kill" list to optimize stam usage while Titan hunting. They did so long before the buff for the same reason, and now that practice is even more applicable to the efficient use of stam.
If you trip over an SE while hunting (let's say it's a GC since most all of us can solo that), when you kill it you will burn the same stam as any other critter. Of course the XP derived from the GC will reflect the level of the dbl used.
I'm not saying I disagree with your proposal that extra stam burned be creature specific, I'm just saying I don't believe Hoof intended for it to be that way; that the extra expended stam is your sacrifice for deviating from the intended target.
The realms I normally hunt GE critters in have no other spawns. No Titans, no SE's, nothing but Global's. They are small, a short walk from a portal, and low level. Why would I waste stam hunting other things at the same time when I can knock out my 9k, kill my GB, and then go elsewhere to hunt any other beast with my remaining stam?
