Talk:Terraria Guy vs Steve/@comment-43762201-20190908223018/@comment-26910280-20191019170602

If steve were to attack as fast as you suggest, he would not do very much damage, as in minecraft, in order to deal the maximum amount of damage on a hit, you have to wait a few seconds for the sword to charge, also the attack speed of a sword in minecraft is 1.6. If we are talking about the haste effect, this can be avoided because of the brief invicibility time gained when your character is hit in terraria, which can be extended to a couple of seconds by the effects of a star veil, which is the small purple/ pink thing by the terrarian's neck in the image with steve in enchanted diamond armor.

also the thorns enchantment is not as great as you think... I dont like using it when I play minecraft because of the fact that it goes through armor durability extremely fast.

as for knockback, it is completely removed by a cobalt shield or better. (obsidian shield, Ankh shield). as you can see, the Terraria guy has the ankh shield.
