Hi, I'm Kminr, or Kminer56 as some people would know me.
I don't play much MCSG these days, but it struck me when playing today that FnS is used a lot. At least half of the players I fight will not commit themselves to a fight against me unless I am on fire. When I was a much more active MCSG player, I always thought it was "pathetic" somewhere in the back of my head, which I know realize is completely ridiculous. FnS has four uses, and are found frequently in chests, so it's almost impractical to NOT use it before every single fight. I'm not arguing against the existence of FnS, but I really think that the amount of uses, or occurrences in chests should be lowered. I can't even count how many times in my three years of playing MCSG I've had to run from a fight or delay an engagement in a fight because I have to drain someone's FnS or wait for the fire to stop burning because I will certainly die otherwise. If FnS only had, say, one use, people would still be able to take advantage of it, and it would also, I feel, level out the balance of weapons. Right now, FnS is a very dominant weapon. One might even argue that it has more value than a weak sword if used correctly. I feel like the sword should be the most dominant weapon, with the bow and rod trailing, and FnS should be strategically involved in a minor way that can still have some significance during a fight. I feel like Minecraft is designed imperfectly, in terms of PvP, but FnS, in a much smaller capacity than the current state, balances everything out to make it a great competitive game.
I'm completely open to, in fact I would appreciate people replying with their opinions. I would love to hear reasons on why you agree, or disagree with what I've said.
