Personally I find BoA useful because then I only have to swing twice with my stone sword to kill a spider (with BoA 2), so it saves me some time, and I don't mind it that much, especially with the new enchanting system
What am I supposed to use this stupid thing for? It's only good against spiders, cave spiders, and silverfish.
How the hell is your sword useless? It sets enemies on fire, sends them flying, and makes them drop more loot. Just because it does extra damage to arthropods doesn't mean it's only useful for picking off those enemies.

Remember kids, when the mod crashes delete system32!
It kills the exact same # of mobs as smite 3v3 it deals the exact same amount of damage as smite does to undead. It's the arthropod version of smite stop whining because you don't like/use an enchantment some people use it more than smite.
Honestly it should have another mob that does super-effective damage to. Smite has only 3 mobs to do super-effective damage as well. Maybe bane of othropods could do more damage to creepers, since they have 4 legs? Idk. Just brainstorming.

I'm just a Minecraft player that likes to give my opinion. Nothing special to see here.
Yeah Boa does need to get nerfed... And I usally get boa alone as an enchantment and do I really wanna switch to a different sword ervery time I see I spider. Im not sure if the item switching mod switches to other different enchants I think it does because I watch the MineCraft Project by Syndicate aka Tom BUT WHY?
This is one of the many reasons I have the Superior Enchanting mod. Spiders are so freaking easy to kill anyway. What I really could use is a creeper specific enchant. At least that fills a need. Would be nice if said enchant also worked on Ghasts, even though swords aren't the best thing to kill ghasts with.
There is one, it's called knockback.
OT: I agree that BOA sucks. But mob-specific weapons is a good idea, but you would craft them individually, not get a random one.
The problem with that is that Skeletons aren't arthropods.
I agree with cadaver. It's not like this makes the diamond sword any less useful at all. It's part of the gamble in the already totally random enchant system.

this is mojang's form of trolling i always make a lava pool near my enchant rooms so when i get bane of arthropods i just throw it in!
What an atrocious waste. If anything, just use it as a regular sword. I've never really understood why people need to have their enchanted goodies so much.
Just be glad you got a good sword... if I were to enchant with 30 levels on a sword I would probably get sharpness II and nothing else, if my track record with enchanting were to hold true.
But I agree that it's basically the worst enchantment to get on a sword.
Your using a stone sword?

Yup, that way I can hoard my iron

What I don't get is silverfish. Now those are just weak...
Why do you need an enchantment to help you kill those weak things?
Smite: Zombie, Pig Zombie, Silverfish
Bane Of Arthropods: Spider, Cave Spider, Skeleton
So it balances out the goods and the bads.
Especially when its a level 40+enchant.

Rules --
I actually thought it was something really devastating before I found out that arthropods what meant.
Spiders are the fastest normal mob (not including the enderdragon)
they can climb over walls.
also they can spawn with a dead guy with a bow on there backs.
have your tried facing 80 spider jockeys at once? you will love this enchantment.
SUPPORT THEM!!!!! (also if your a new please click on the picture)
I trashed it and got a Minecraft account!
Because if you don't 1-hit them, they call for backup. And they usually have quite a bit of backup.
