    I have never seen the water bucket used by anyone except a builder every once in awhile and I think buffing to to stun when used would help a builder escape a knight(make it exactly like how they did the drill so that only builders can use it) It would be useful and help builders both offensively and defensively.

    If it were balanced and it stunned allies as well, and be for it being added back again.

    It would need some tweaks that would seriously affect their main task, a water bucket has 3 uses, its not hard to use and its cheap, but if you lower the uses, it would be harder for people to extinguish fires.

    I think water buckets are fine. They are like lanterns, very cheap and therefor not so useful, but still, it can sometimes be handy.

    Though, I think there are a lot of things that you can buy in the builder shop that should be only for builders, like buckets and boulders.

    Also, I think you should get 3 fire arrows when buying them as fire is one of the things that makes the archer-class very interesting. That tweak would also make buckets more useful.

    that isn't a buff for buckets its an archer buff but nice job slyly adding it in ::D:
    I don't understand?

    EDIT: nvm if you lowered the uses to 2 and made it cost more wood then it would be solved?

    Not sure, maybe it would, or make that the first use stuns and the second one (and third one if you dont lower because of this) just turns off the fire.

    A long time ago, it did used to stun. It was horribly broken- you had fields of Builders wading into battle with four buckets filled with three stuns each, no buildings, and knights cleaning up when they weren't stunned. It was a pretty broken tactic.

    The general consensus was that it was overpowered. Although I did like this suggestion.

    Considering that you could only hold 1 bucket max in your inventory. Debuffs hype \o/

    yeah, stunning allies would definitely fix it

    seriously though, stunning buckets were cancer. they were only (ab)used by shitters like copper40 and detective raccoon to troll others. now imagine what would happen if they stunned allies...

    I agree with the sentiment in the OP; I wish buckets were more useful. But it sounds like stun buckets were an absolute nightmare. Maybe if the buckets threw fire that harmed allies as well instead of water?
