It's a very controversial and dividing subject, but what do you think? 1.8 Lets you block with your sword and spam hits with no consequences. 1.9 Removes sword blocking and adds a weapon cooldown. I honestly like 1.9 more as it is more balanced IMO, but I would never want to do a duel with another player with it. I think the ONE time I've ever fought someone face to face with 1.9 and it felt natural was on the Phrozencookie doomsday. So in conclusion, I like 1.9 for PVE and such, but prefer 1.8 for PVP. What do you think?
