Zombie Buff

The Zombie is, by far, the easiest mob to deal with in the game. Even Silverfish are more difficult to fight due to their tiny hitbox and ability to summon nearby Silverfish in Infested Blocks (Zombies can also summon allies, but they don't do so at a rate that can overwhelm the player).

Zombies are now capable of regenerating health and inflicting Weakness when dealing combat damage. Husks, the Zombie's desert variant, has these attributes in addition to its Hunger-inflicting effect.

Easy: 1 hit point (1/2 Heart) regenerated

Normal: 2 hit points (1 Heart) regenerated, 1 second of Weakness

Hard: 4 hit points (2 Hearts) regenerated, 2 seconds of Weakness

    I mean... the zombie is kind of meant to be weak. Imagine your a new player, and you are trying to fight a zombie, but it keeps regenerating the damage you do with your wood sword, not to mention the fact that your damage is reduced by the weakness? The most basic enemy in the game doesn't need to be tough to fight. I get that the regeneration wouldn't change too much, but as said in this post, zombies can call more zombies. Going back to that wood sword scenario again, lets say there is a zombie near you, and it calls 1 more zombie, and another zombie approaches you from behind. You hit the first one with your wood sword, get attacked from behind, and attack the one behind you. Problem is you now have weakness and the 3 zombies can easily deal you damage and heal faster than you can fight them. This might be ok only on hard, but in every difficulty?
