Hi! As you all know that the way the combat was in 1.8 got changed in 1.9 some people doesn't like the style of I.9 combat because they are not good at it so I'm gonna teach you how to become good at that 1.what weapon shall you choose As you know the attack damages got changed in 1.9 Attack damages : the highest attack damage but the slowest is the axe.the hoe is the lowest attack damage but the fastest.the shovel is the 2nd one in attack damages and in its slowness.the pickaxe is the 2nd fast one and also low on attack damage.the sword fast plus high attack damage consider this the best tool in my opinion You should choose the sword because it's balanced in attack damage and speed Do not think the axe is the best because its way too slow your enemie will take an advantage from that and kill you Do not think that the hoe is the best because it's so so low on attack damage your enemie will take this as an advantage and kill you. In either way you will lose so the weapon that you must choose is the sword because it's balanced in everything 2.the new shields and how to take an advantage from them The shields will reduce attack damage when something attacks you with there hands or tools But when you use shields when something attacks you with a bow it will deflect the arrow so you won't take any damage that will definitely be helpful for you 3.Any new special attacks ? Yes there is new sword sweep attack that when you hit something and other entity(s) on its way The new axe crush blow attack That does dozen of damage on your enemy 4.Any New Right Left hand combination Yes you can combine sword plus bow to make a great combination.you can also sword plus shield You can combine axe plus shield you can also combine poptions with any wepone of your choice. I hope you learned anything from this post hope this get pinged up by @aXed so everyone be happy with the new combat
nice topic but the actual thing is that you can't be good in 1.9 cuz of the speed to be good in 1.9 you need to land every single hit
