The Ghast is underwhelming. It has 5 hearts, and if you are a sword-obsessed wannabe paladin they will tend to be hellishly fearsome and nigh indestructible. But with a Bow and a few arrows they can be killed, almost too easily. When the Ghasts were first introduced it took me around 5 minutes to learn how to kill them, and then they ceased to be a problem ever again.
I was thinking, why not make this Mob stand over the rest? A line of Dispensers should not be able to obliterate them in a few seconds, nor should somebody with a bow and arrow be able to kill them so easily when they should be more fearsome than that.
Ghasts should have their health boosted from 5 hearts to 20, and have them spawn a little less frequently to avoid getting overrun by 5 ghasts.
They should have dual drops, sort of like how the Skeleton will drop Bones and Arrows, the Ghast will drop Glowstone and Sulfur, and rather than have a 0-2 chance of each item dropping, up it to 2-5.

NNNNOOOOOOO!!!! What are you talking about? Ghasts' drops (almost) always get destroyed, and they're the most powerful mobs in the game!!
Don't spam this thread with garbage or you will be reported. Either way, not all Ghasts sit over the Lava, and that's your prerogative whether or not you want to get the drop or not, or just want to kill them. Most of the time they can drift onto cliffsides or along flat plains of Netherrack.

Garbage? That's my opinion on Ghasts, and I explained why improving them in return for better drops/ more challenge is a bad idea. They can shoot you with a cannonball. I mean, maybe they should have 10 health, but even that seems a little much.

and by failing your sword around like an idiot you can reflect there cannonballs back at them
That's true. You can also do it with your bare hands (what a beast!). However, on slow computers (mine) it doesn't always work. And if there's a group of Ghasts... death.

Then your problem is your Computer, not the Ghasts then.

I get volleyed by 5-6 ghasts every time I go in the nether and because there hit boxes are smaller than there model... it takes a marksman to kill them... I personally think they should have a much lesser spawn rate.
I find that ghasts are very hard to kill with a bow when they are sitting outside your range over a lake of lava. It's really annoying to have them bombard you from outside your range. I've tried hiding behind the terrain, hoping that they would come closer, but they just lose interest in me until I come back into view.
I'd suggest that ghasts have their range reduced, so that they are forced to come closer to actually fight you. Then they could be made to be tougher, instead of just being cheap.
