i love the phenomenon where something is powerful only because its not used. like if fishing rods were the meta they would be easily countered, i mean for one that slot is better used for totems or rockets for crossbow, or a shield, but its being used by a fishing rod. not to mention the pulling back although useful could also have just been a pearl. and the visual obstruction is solved via a resource pack. anyways yeah i just think its cool that something is good because its not used. it certainly helped in the fight, especially at the end pulling them back when you ran out of pearls

That is how certain historical militaries managed to turn out so successful. The reason Napoleon managed to conquer so much of Europe so easily is because his strategies weren't expected by his enemies at all. They expected traditional warfare, but he combatted them with his own obscure strategies which caught them off guard, resulting in insanely successful campaigns. The same happened in WW2. The German military used Blitzkrieg strategies which were, just like with Napoleon's case, so unexpected by their enemies that they managed to conquer Europe using them in less than 3 years. The sheer speed of the tanks and aircraft rushing toward the enemy lines were irrestistable as the enemy armies were prepared for trench warfare, which is designed for long wars of attrition, which the Second World War was the opposite of.

@oswaldrabbit1409

9 ай бұрын

@@FilipSrbin hmmm, while I agree the skilled and unexpected strategies he and his army could implement played an important role in his victories, I would say with Napoleon a lot of it had to do more with the effectiveness of his military bureaucracy and his logistical superiority, and the general superior training and professionalism of his army. I suppose they also support each other, since with a better organized army with better trained and superior officers it's easier to implement sudden changes in strategy and tactics.

@lythd

@@FilipSrbin hm i think that for both of those examples although the surprise helped, they were simply superior strategies too. unlike this which is only good because its not expected, if ppl were aware of it it would be trivial to stop (resource pack can be gotten very easily) whereas in ur examples its also not easy to stop even once ur aware.

Absolutely brilliant. I knew you could use fishing rods to trap people, killing them with fall damage. However using them for grapple pvp is revolutionary. Fishing rods are definitely making a come back after this vid.

Who’s ready for every PvP Legacy kit to contain a fishing rod (Dabbycat what have you done)

I remember seeing you in the McBirken SMP years ago it's insane how much your channel has grown since then

a fishing rod for home defense just like the founding fa- Mojang intended

Back in 1.8 fishing rods were dominant in PvP, you basically couldnt win a fight without one

This was your first video i ever watched and it was so good i subscribed in about 30 seconds:)

Legit the handbooks taught me one of the most useful tips I've ever used. Putting torches on the left walls of caves will allow you to find your way back out by keeping them to your right. If the wall torches are to your right, you’re going the right way.

for some reason this gave me sooo much motivation to get better at combat (pvp)

This video is so well made that I watched it again just now even though I already watched it a few days ago

1:15 *casually doxxes a player's base because why not*

Own a diamond sword for home defense, since that's what Mojang intended. Four players break into my base. "What the devil?" As I equip my enchanted armor and blade. Stab a villager's nose wide hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my crossbow on the second man, miss him entirely because it's laggy and nails my teammate's wolf. I have to resort to the dispenser mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with arrows, "Tally ho lads" the arrows shred two men, the sound and extra arrows set off cow moos. Equip my trident and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since trident shaped wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as Mojang intended.

actually a very well editing and entertaining video. Love that you interrupted the most important part by saying sub lmao

Crazy to see fishing rods being used in pvp again

I cannot believe the fishing rod slipped out of PVP since I stopped playing- it used to be a common tactic years ago and judging by this video, there was literally no reason for people to stop using it. How such a great tactic slipped away I don't have a clue but seeing it is nostalgic as hell for me.
