if we cant disable weakness arrows then there should be a special custom potion called debuff negation or something to negate any debuff effects given by these arrows, works the same but doesnt remove a part of the vanilla game but gives a counter for it. also takes an inventory slot

Well, removing arrows isnt an issue, the thing is that machineguns become a little bit less useful since they would no longer apply weakness

But just to put numbers into perspective to understand how op this is:
- Reinforced boots reduce about 35% of the damage you take from netherite sword crits
- Weakness -4 damage might make the damage number 24% lower but when put into the armor formula that goes to -33% damage taken
- Combine those 2 and now you take a total of around 57% less damage compared to diamond without weakness

Technically you can go even further with other debuffs and buffs on yourself but im pretty sure that you can heal back most of that incoming damage with just food

I think the whole effect of weakness is just annoying, Its not fun to play as a support that holds down right click and looks at people and its not fun to deal with doing -33% damage each hit. The more resistance and protection giving items there are the more stale pvp and sieges are gonna get. Its not fun to crit someone for 30 seconds and not doing anything just to get 1shot by a cannon or grenade. It feels unfair and pointless to pvp cause you could just be siting on top of your walls, right clicking once a while with a springfield in hand and doing 2-3x more damage than any pvper ever could

You can just switch to guns whenever someone hits you with a weakness arrow until its effects wears off

Weakness lasts for 30s and takes like a second to apply. That makes any sort of sword combat irrelevant and considering all fights on the siege banner are close range it makes it so you just cannot do anything to remove them from the banner, making kills happen far less often and banner impossible to defend from the people that are capturing it

i can agree with Tqdqz with enchanted arrows being too op so I think there should be a limit on how many you can carry in your inventory depending on the arrow type

I find it hard to agree with limiting the arrow amount as even 30 seconds is way too long, that would probably make the arrows balanced for teamfights but what about small fights like 3v3s or 2v2s. 30seconds of doing laughable ammounts of damage is a huge disadvantage and makes it so you literally have to run away for the whole duration of the debuff. The skill ceiling isn't large enough to make a "good pvper" beat an "average pvper" with a debuff active

Solution -->> bring weakness in sieges and when someone applies it on you do that too

You've never went to a siege mim hush up please

Just switch to gun not everything has to be long stick penetration and slashing

Ok jokes aside I think potion arrows shouldnt be removed. I dont think anyone has noticed that they require dragon breath which is only accessible from voting which makes it hard to mass produce in crazy large amounts. The other thing is that it can get very cancerous if ure being spammed with them, but I wouldnt say they should be removed. At this rate people want to remove every strategy they dislike, even if I dislike weakness and poison arrows I never thought of removing them fully

Weakness is way too strong as it is right now. You dont even need to mass produce them as they last for 30 seconds. Having just 2 of them makes a small fight impossible to win as there is no back and forth potting its all one sided for the whole duration of it. And when the other side doesnt have to stop to pot that 30-60seconds is enough to drain atleast 2/3ds of your inventories potions

> At this rate people want to remove every strategy they dislike

Im fine with anything as long as it has counterplay with your desired kit. Fighting an enemy with sword while having weakness on has no counter play other than doing the same thing to your enemy and just transitioning to gunpvp. Matter of fact i benefit from it cuz i dont want random imports from other servers or pvp clans or people who nolife practice pvp to kill me or any other new kid i wanna show war to in 2 seconds
