Why Walter is the one taking damage when he's riding Woby?

[Memetan]

I found odd something about big Woby, she is like a beefalo, kinda... She is immortal and doesn't need to be tame, but she won't attack, and she will knock Walter off if he gets hit. Tamed beefalos take the damage except range damage, so I thought that the punishment for let Woby being hit was ONLY knocking Walter off, but you take the damage too. With the beta, big Woby will no longer knock you off for light damage deal to Walter, so the game encourage you to tank with Walter, the character whose downside is losing sanity if he loses heath.

I need opinions about this new perk. BTW it will be a lot helpful if you check out my suggestion about Walter.

It's just a QOL change so that walter can wear some armour and not get immediatly knocked off Woby by something like a single spider bitem, as before that's how it worked at it was very annoying, as you ended up taking a lot more damage from being stun locked. The game isn't trying to encourage you to tank with walter from this change. And the reason you take damage and not Woby is because Woby is immortal she takes no damage and is unnefected by the things that trouble our mere mortal sevles on this landm

And one thing, I don't get why you feel the need to make your writing all bold? Like not to be rude or anything but it feels kinda obnoxious, like everyone else gets on just fine writing in normal text.

Yea tanking is the opposite of what you should be doing as Walter.(unless you can't avoid the damage) I feel Woby should get a higher hp threshold tho.
