New Combat Mechanics

With the Experimental Snapshots made by Jeb, the combat is changing, and I have some ideas to improve it even more

Special Attacks Books

These are like Enchanted books, but can only be obtained by Wanderer Traders, Villagers like Blacksmiths, Weaponsmiths and Tool Smiths or found in Chests. These attacks are exclusive with Sweeping Edge

Heavy Attack

Heavy attacks are really strong attacks that deal a strong knockback, but are really slow, pierces thrugh the armor

Thrust attack

A long-reached attack, that has more reach than usual one, but is extremely slow

Falanx position (tridents only)

While having the Shield on, the Trident will actually do damage to whoever is in close range or tries to attack the Shield. Axes can't disable Shields in Falanx position, but we can't move if we don't have enough hunger points

Double Wielding

Weapons deal 1.5 more damage, but we can't have anything in our off-hand, such as Shields, Arrows, Totems, Blocks, Food etc

Airstrike

Crits deal 50% more damage, but normal attacks deal 50% less damage

Speedstrike

Dmage dealt while sprinting deals 100% more damage, but we can't deal crits

    Alright, so I'd like to give my opinion and what I think could take their place:

     

    Special attacks

    I would definitely love to see more special attacks be added in the form of enchantments... I actually had some ideas for this.

    Heavy attacks

    This basically already exists, and It's called a charged attack.

    Thrust attacks

    Again, charged attacks already do this, so no need to suggest this.

    Phalanx position

    Let me just say this now; this is absolutely perfect, we actually do need more unique combat mechanics like this... an auto-attack at the cost of rendering yourself potentially vulnerable by slowing yourself down? Sign me up!

    Duel wielding

    I really don't get this one... maybe instead, we could just have off-hand weapons be used with a right-click? It would be a simple yet genius move if done right.

    Air strike

    so basically Critical hits? although I'm guessing that hold-to-attack Air strikes should get a 1-point damage reduction.

    SpeedStrike

    The idea that this does 100% more damage (or double damage) sounds rather overpowered... maybe instead you could decrease the hold-to-attack cooldown by .2? It would really fit the name.
