    Grandpa at the moment:
    The Grandpa kit is really useful when on hilly situations, or when you want someone to leave you alone! The stick has Knockback II, sending your enemies miles away when they come within range!

    Grandpa Buffed:
    The Grandpa kit should be able to have knockback 3/4 stick, or perhaps a knockback 2 fist.


    Very simple idea, discuss in the comments.
    At the moment, Grandpa is underused because it's knockback is close to unnoticed.

    I'm not certain, but couldn't you used to use the grandpa stick to make a sword which also had kb 2?

    Not that I'm aware of.
    I find KB 2 really useless personally, it's nothing too powerful and doesn't have much of a place against kits that are more powerful.

    Unless someone lags really bad and you keep hitting them. I had a video on my old channel where I hit someone 19 times and Waited. They flew to the opposite side of the map.

    They should allow Grandpa to take less knockback as well as having a knockback 4 stick

    I'd make it a Knockback 4 stick, as the Knockback 2 doesn't really do too much knockback to send someone really far, which I guess is the point. If it was Knockback 4, you could knock people off of towers and hills with relative ease (and get people away from you).

    The kit currently doesn't have enough power for it's one purpose (knocking people everywhere). This is a very simple buff and I like it.

    Pretty much exactly where I'm coming from, and my main motivation behind the buff.

    What would be cool buff to grandpa is when you right-click your "cane," you can change the knockback enchantment you have. For example, 1 click will change the knockback from 4 to 1, another click will change the knockback from 1 to 2, then another click will change the knockback to 2 to 3, etc.

    But why would anyone want a knockback 1 cane when they can have a knockback 4 cane?

    If you wanted to knock them back into a certain location without overshooting it, like a hole.

    I like it, just I think Grandpa needs an even bigger buff because otherwise its useless if your not on a tower. Anyways great idea!

    I like this, it adds more of a dynamic and strategy idea to the kit if it were possible to be implemented. I think being able to toggle knockback 1-4 (perhaps even 5, depending on how big that ends up being) could be pretty cool. Also perhaps it should have a cooldown the higher it goes up? (i.e, lvl 1 knockback has 0 cooldown, lvl 4 has 5 seconds or something, etc).

    I agree. IMO it should be knockback 4/5.

    This would certainly make it more fun as players would go flying, but I think there's already a lot of knockback

    Nice idea. Only issue is that you'd likely need to put some sort of cool down on higher knock backs such as 3 and 4, as those could be annoyingly spammable (might not be too much of an issue but just a thought).

    Instead of digging up a random number why don't you give the stick the knockback required to make it practical (hint: 3)

    Has anyone even tested out the different knockbacks or are we really just picking a random higher number?

    And a "cooldown on knockback" is silly because you aren't going to be spamming knockback because the player will be 10 blocks away....

    No, grandpa needs a little more knockback to really do what it is intended to do.

    How about make it so that your fist does knockback 3-4 and when you shift and hit someone you do knockback 1-2 (Depending on what the original one is). I like this idea though.
