Mistlands combat shortcomings.
I think it is pretty apparent to anyone that has spent a decent amount of time in Valheim that the 2 most glaring shortcomings are the inability of the combat system to cope with variations in elevation and the stamina system. I am a bit confused as to why the entire Mistlands biome was seemingly designed to accentuate these weaknesses to the extreme. It is by far and away the most vertical biome, the majority of your fights are taking place on terrain that cannot be traversed without using sprint/jump and the combat system is incapable of dealing with even the slightest variation of elevation between you and the things you are trying to fight. This just turns into a huge compounding issue of stamina depletion, frankly it isn't fun. Short of rebuilding the combat system to better deal with differing elevation, I think the easiest solution would be to decouple attack and sprint/jump stamina usage. 2 stamina bars, attack stamina and sprint/jump stamina.
