FFA Should a Trident Kit be added to FFA?

[theslyowl169]

Hello! I've been doing some good ol' PvP on the Cubecraft server and thought 'Hey, what if there was a melee AND ranged kit?' so, here I am!

So, let's get started

~Balancing~
All of us non-wizard mains agree wizard is too powerful, so this kit would nerf them quite a bit. Tridents are ranged(do 8 dmg thrown) and do quite a bit with a crit(13 dmg), so it would be away from the splash radius of the wizard. Would also help combat camping snipers without having to become a sniper yourself.
Could fight Beasts, Warriors, Archers, and Wizards quite well, with Samurai being the balance. Tridents have a pretty high attack cool down, so a faster opponent would be tougher to aim at.
~Kit Items~
I would give this class the name of Retiarius, the name of a gladiator with a trident and net. Could be debated whether to give them a splash potion of slowness to imply a net, will be discussed. Loyalty II Trident with Prot I Golden Armor(Easily recognized). This armor would have a high unbreaking number, preferably above 3, considering how easily gold breaks.
Alternatively, give them Prot III red leather armor. Just needs to offer protection and be different from the existing class's armor.

Tridents are unable to be added as of now since the Java server has to accommodate for people on version 1.9, and the bedrock server is effectively in Java version 1.9 as well. It is an interesting idea tho.

Personally, I think a trident would be a good idea. It should have worse armor than the other kits because of the long ranged weapon, maybe iron prot 1? Swoard maybe dia. axe?? In my opinion I dont think the trident kit should have potions.

Thanks for leaving a reply! I love feedback, thought this would, unfortunately, vanish in the sea of forum posts.

As for the tridents, they could be on 1.13+ worlds. They do the same for 1.8 players, why not for 1.13 or above?

I'm.. not sure what you mean by Diamond sword/axe. This kit would be using a trident as it's weapon. Also, Gold is worse than Iron, so you would be giving it greater protection by having Prot I Iron.

I'm glad you think the idea is good though, I've recently acquired some tridents in my survival world and have been practicing with pve!

I think it’s good prot 2 gold a slowness potion and loyalty only 2 so it’s not to op and takes some time for it to come back

They could split FFA for 1.13+ and below, but a large portion of the 1.9 playerbase is playing on 1.12.2, and it would likely take lobbies a lot longer to fill up if they implemented it.
