This new mechanic will create a new category of weapons which can both deal high amount of damage and block attacks. The weapon I've been thinking about is the bamboo staff, a traditional weapon which has been used for thousands of years (And still being used mainly in martial arts).
The defense mechanism - When the player is using this mechanism, the player's aim cross must be directed onto the attacker's hitbox in order to successfully block an attack. If the user misses and the attacker is using an iron tier weapon (sword/axe) or any higher tier except for tridents, then the staff will lose a high amount of durability (depends on the attacker's weapon tier).
The spinning mechanism - A unique mechanism which lowers the attack cooldown on every attack (It will return back to this normal cooldown once the player has stopped attacking)
Advantages:
- Attack cooldown slightly higher than a sword as default, but the spinning mechanism lowers it while in combat.
- Very Cheap
- Can both deal quite high damage (About 3 hearts which is equal to 6 Attack Damage) while also can be used to block attacks
Disadvantages:
- Quite low durability (Equal to iron sword's durability)
- Can lose a lot of durability when not used correctly (While blocking)
- Can only block melee attacks (Unlike shields)
- Quite rare
