Hoes need to be nerfed

I understand that hoes should have a special ability, but the fast attack rate combined with the large reach is an awful mix balance wise. Netherite hoes not only have the same DPS as a trident, but they have even more knockback! To nerf hoes, they should either attack much slower, or have the same reach as a sword.

    Hoes are definitely too powerful. A nerf is needed.

    I think hoes are pretty good but they need to have very little knockback with it being the lowest damage it should only be used to get the frist few hits and then not be used I think this would give it pretty good balance

    Joel Desouza Lower knockback would certainly help with the hoe's overly difficult aura, though I've already seen a post about making weapon knockback based on attack speed. I wanted to come up with solutions to the problem that weren't already posted.

    Reach shouldn't exist in the first place, but people wouldn't stop asking for it.

    If only Mojang would listen when we asked for GOOD things, like vertical slabs, instead of horrible stuff that ruins the game.

    Hoes are fine, their reach is fine, too. DPS is only one small factor in combat, more often than not a strong trident or sword user can easily overcome someone using hoes. Not to mention, shields are a great counter for hoes. You'll be at a disadvantage with an axe, but what else is new?
