Lethals should do stamina damage

[SalmonidJester]

To be honest, i don't think the problem are lethals here.

It's how easy it is to get someone down with the baton.

Nerf the stamina damage from 130 down to 90. So baton stuns would only be guaranteed after 3 hits, 4 if you take stamina buffs and stability. Of course less once you wasted sramina beforehand.

You can dodge tasers, even in melee.  You hardly can do that with batons.

In my opinion (as someone who's most played job is sec) the baton is indeed just too strong. I think 30 seconds is way too long to be stunned from a few baton hits, and in an ideal world arresting someone would be less click with baton and more skill based, using CQC stuff like pins and aggressive grabs etc. It's not fun to lie there for 30 seconds unable to do anything at all, there's no urgency to it.  Either getting someone down on the floor or keeping them down to get them in cuffs should be more difficult.

I also have this opinion, I think less stun time but also maybe a quickened cuff time when on the ground or with grabs/pins would help in the feeling that getting stunned isn't basically the end of any fight.
