Was battling Darak, used my rune to do some stagger damage, then hit him with my cold enchanted sword. The stagger meter went the wrong way. Hit him with a rune again and stagger meter went up. Then some normal hits with a combo, stagger meter went down. I know the stagger meter goes down if I’m idle for too long but this wasn’t it. It just went the wrong way. The problem went away after phase 1. Phase 2 Darak stagger meter worked as expected.
