I can see something like bats being like the shortsword counterpart of a warhammer. Assuming that the changes to shortswords by Szgamer227 are put into place.

I might not be worth anything when it comes to sports but even I know that swinging a bat downward is a little wierd.

Of course that's just my opinion on the matter.

P.S. 25 seems a bit excessive in my opinion.

As if you beat mobs: from above or sideways?
And 25 bars are much, agrees but if is them less, then the bat will be too easy to be made and it won't be equivalent in comparison with a sword.

You need an Earthbound themed bat. Giving it extreme knockback, and a cool sound effect would do the trick. XD

As you understood, I develop now others to pre-hardmode bats; the sound from a metal bat will be will cause a stir from the wooden. Also the baseball ball and a glove is developed.

Pretty sure this exact idea has been done before. Also the images are broken :/

How many times I spread them, they always break.

bats :s

 

[Jacob22]

why are the wooden bats ( shadewood ) the same as the metal bats ( tin )

In what meaning?

 

[All Seeing Eye]

Bats should be swung sideways. So it should be able to knock an opponent back sideways. But since there is no sideways the game forces itself to become 3d. Therfore illuminati


OT: I dont think we need other types of melee weapons. There are a lot already.

I perfectly understand that here the competition is very strongly expressed. But why to show it thus. After all it is always possible to do without it.

Why not make them charged weapons? Where your hold it down for a few seconds then swing sideways for massive amounts of knockback?
