The trident is one of the most underused and underpowered weapons, here are a few reasons why: (skip to solutions if you want)
- Too hard to obtain: grinding for it takes a long time, considering that it is a rare chance to drop from a rare mob variant, even with looting. The trial chamber method is not that fast either, and it is not "renewable".
- Useless without enchantments: the trident comes with near no durability when first dropped, and Throwing the trident is a waste of weapon without loyalty or riptide.
- Heavily outclassed: It is outmatched by diamond weapons (specially enchanted) in dps. Ranged is not much better, loyalty is slow and deals mid-low damage. On top of that, it has the lowest durability, wich is really bad for a melee/ranged hybrid.
- Bad enchantment balancing: low level loyalty is not even worth it as a stepping stone, and higher levels often overshoot when flying.
Here are a few ways to improve it:
- Easier to get: increase drop chance from 8.5% to 12%. Drops with a minimum of 75 durabity instead of 1.
- Better durability: Increase from 250 to 350.
Better enchants:
- Impaling: deals 1 + 1*lvl damage to entities touching water. Aquattic mobs will aways take 1.5*lvl bonus damage.
- Loyalty: acceleration on all levels + 10%, better curving AI, lvl 1 speed + 50%, lvl 2 speed + 30%, lvl 3 speed + 10%, aways tries to come back on the slot used to throw it.
- Channaling: to make it better outside of thunderstorms, it applies 2 seconds of slowness 2 (due to shocking the oponent).
