So, guns are kinda op right now, but thankfully, carp gives protections from them? Right? WRONG!

Basically, carp now has a super strict stamina gating system on its deflections. Which in a game of increasingly strong ranged options... lets you block ONE (1) shotgun slug before you start taking direct hits. You can't even block an entire buckshot shell.

Please restore carp, it's meant to be helpful against ranged weapons, not leave you almost undefended.

the issue before was that it wasn't just helpful against ranged weapons it was a full counter

the stamina gating is a more minor issue the bigger is their is now a cooldown

it being a counter is mostly okay though, given that it also shuts off YOUR ability to use the now extremely strong ranged options. If you're concerned about it being stacked with other items, maybe make it require an empty active hand only?

Or at least nerf the stamina gating a bit and remove the cooldown. As it is now it's only a small benefit for the cost of it forcing you into melee with far stronger weapons.
