Strength II in old Minecraft

[vital tiger]

A bit of thought and discussion provocative tip or idk...

I recently learned in a video that in old Minecraft the strengh buff gives +130% of damage.... And it's a plus; it's not x1.3 dmg -- it's x2.3...

The Strength II effect gives a x3.6 damage. That's huge and a crit attack on Iron Golem with a vanilla Iron Sword deals 38 dmg to him.

One of the sources of permanent Strength II buff is an Ender Dragon adventure backpack.

But, sadly, there is probably a reason why this is still in a game and this cheap.... The huge strengh multiplier doesn't work neither with Tinker's range or melee weapons neither with GT weapon.

But still. There is a lot of mods out there that might have endgame weapon that would behave like vanilla sword...

The best example so far that I've found is a IC2 nano Saber. Without Strength it deals 21 dmg; and with -- 76, without a crit. With crit you just one shot a golem.

The Vajra sadly doesn't work and deals 25 dmg either with or without Strength.

If you find anything better leave it here.

Doesn't work for even vanilla bows, huh

But idk mb something was changed with them in modpack judging by their changed look...

afaik strength only worked for melee attacks even in vanilla

also even if this tip is cool, wasting a dragon egg on the backpack isnt worth it and by the time you can get more eggs easily you wont need to fight that many mobs

(also even a carbon crossbow does more damage with decent bolts)

What do you do with a dragon egg ?..

[indigo dragon]

you need it for some stuff later on

most early example is grandmaster energy absorber in ev

a free amp of ev using the egg

pretty useful for powering ae2 early on

Want big damage? Use overchanter + disenchanter + botania enchanter to make as high level of a Pounce (thaumic tinkerer enchant) as you like, and do unreasonable amounts of damage while flying
