I've not had any problems with combat in this version of the game. A few people were complaining a few pages back about how difficult it was, but I'm playing on Classical/Hardcore (not sure if it actually changes anything combat-related, I think it's just obedience) but I just don't see what's so difficult. All you need to do is learn proper skills for the weapon(s) you want to use and then just debuff and buff.I think it was the max endurance that was the biggest problem. The combat was ok iirc I was playing on normal with the first character. But getting the endurance maxed took forever. To the point of not making much profit.
As for endurance, that's always been the case. I might be off on the actual numbers but I think it's about twice as much endurance from A+ to S+ as it is from B+ to A+. I only train endurance to the S+ rank if I know the slave's going to be around for a while (S+ slave, Gladiatrix Champion, Pony Race Winner, or Sex Slave for Garsid depending on my own character and skill.)
Endurance training without athletic leotard gives like 2-3 points per time you train. You need 80 points. I haven't tried leotard in 2.0 since someone said it was causing spoilage and I haven't really needed it anyways but without boosts, you're simply going to spend way too much time training endurance when you could've just finished the slave and sold her in a much shorter time period.
It's just not worth the 1 extra stamina, so unless you really need S+ endurance for rank or whatever, skip it
