Lugian weapon Stamina burn

Question Title: Lugian weapon Stamina burn
Category: Items
Question: Is there any chance of lowering the stamina burn on Lugian Weapon a bit?

For example, I burn 4 stamina per full power swing when using a War Hammer and Buckler. If I use the Lugian Hammer, I burn 12 Stamina per swing. Three times as much Stamina burn makes it too impractical to use.

I realize Lugian weapons weren't meant to be a weapon of choice but there are just too many downsides to consider using them at all. It seems there could be a bit more balance to make them somewhat feasible for high level Warriors. They seem to already have enough against them with the 19% penalty to Melee, massive burden and very slow speed. The "cons" outweigh the "pros" by a landslide.

Answer: No. The Lugian weapons are only intended to be wielded by players for comedic effect. They are not supposed to be viable human melee weapons.
