So... Just tried the 1.9 snapshot and noticed some really "cool" stuff...
- Duel Wielding - Shields - Power Attacks - More potions - Sword Cooldown
Wait, wtf? Cooldown?? Wow! Now we have to wait 1-2 seconds before we can hit with a sword again! So cool! This update basically tries to close the gap between the good pvpers and the "not so good" pvpers. Power attacks? You people just turned Minecraft to an MMO... So, what do you guys think of this "Combat" Update?
The only thing that 1.8 ruins for me is I can't block hit pingers away from me, messes up my textures, and looks ugly... Otherwise I can "deal" with it
