1. Iron swords are now just as good as diamond in terms of damage. 4 hits to kill a zombie pigman with both swords
2. There is no longer any defense against a creeper in a cave. Bow too slow, sword takes too long
3. Getting level 50 enchantments on a diamond sword, is in no way fast, easy or even viable considering the enchantments are essentially random, and getting to level 50 takes a long freaking time.
You don't need to use a 50 level enchantment to improve your diamond sword, with 13 levels, my diamond sword can now kill mobs in two hits. And you should critical hit mobs more often, since you can kill mobs with 3 hits that way.
Don't Nerf. Bring back the old weapon and tools and get rid or severely alter the crappy enchantment system we have. The only reason weapons and tools were modified was to give it a purpose. Pretty f-ing stupid if you ask me.
um Word sword=5 hits stone=5 hits iron=3 hits diamond= 2 hits. This is how it is for me, on basic mobs like creepers,zombies,spiders,and skellys.
You're incorrect. it's a minimum of 3 hits on skelle's and zombies even WITH a diamond sword. You must be on a lower difficulty, I play on a SMP server and do not have the benefit of changing my difficulty. And good luck killing a creeper with a sword now. That's my grief here, if you get a creeper coming at you in a mineshaft, you may as well just kill yourself, because there's no way you're going to take it out before it explodes.
Diamond is a lot more durable than iron, so there's always that. You also don't have to wait for 50 levels, doing it earlier should be fine.
Remember that you can sprint and hit to knock the creepers away. Makes it a lot easier to kill them.
Yeah, Ive Experimented with enchanting and out of 20 enchants 10 lvl 47-50 and 10 lvl 15-20 I had more luck with 15-20 and now i barely ever go to lv50 unless i just want to try my luck :smile.gif:
1.Enchant Level 3-10 Until you get a Knockback Enchantment
2.Click this.
3.It sucks crap that they FRICKEN NERFED THE SWORDS
4. 5 Hits Diamond 6 Hits Iron what would you prefer?
:L
All I hear is Whaaaaa! Whaaaa! in this thread. It's not like it is that hard to trap a creeper. Place a block at head height on a corner, creeper gets stuck behind it, then wack its feet until its dead.
You're all just mad because you can't go Rambo anymore. Although it seems like armor protects a lot more now, so maybe you still can, you just don't cut mobs down as quickly anymore.
When you are exploring a dark cave, you have to take precautions. Watch out for side passages and holes in the ceiling. Then you will be able to kill a creeper with any sword. (unless a group of four comes after you like happened to me once)
I mostly use stone swords with lvl 1 enchantments, because I am cheap.

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..
(Also, buff, not un-nerf)

I've killed a couple creepers with wooden swords by doing this then sprinting to the water.
