Please make void/brightshade/W.A.R.B.I.S. gear have their effects on beefalo's

[Twp_pikmin]

I have been testing around with the newer gears and armours and i mostly do combat from a beefalo, but i have found that they dont affect damage against lunar/shadow aligned creatures (or the buffs in the case of the W.A.R.B.I.S. armour). For the void and bright shade gear, maybe make it so if an armour piece and the sword are equipped, they do their planar damage on a beefalo? Maybe make the durability on the weapon go down as well? as if the planar damage would transfer to the beefalo, so to say. (or, the rider could attack with the beefalo, but because they are on the beefalo they would do less damage because they cant reach well. any other way to explain it).

Of course it doesn't work, your beefalo ain't wearing the helm

I know that, but just for consistency damage wise. Because without any outside help (Abigail, volt goat chaud-froid, etc.) beefalo do a measly 40 damage per hit even with an ornery beefalo who has a warsaddle equipped, which takes at least 20 ish days to tame if you were to start at day 1 or 2. (and you will not have a brush, usually). you are also unable to equip armour for defense on the beef, no quick heal button (healing foods, or jellybeans) and will have to unsaddle and take a quick break from fighting by feeding it (which for most bosses isnt a problem, by the way, only a couple make this difficult). By only dealing 40 damage per swing against planar enemies (keep in mind aswell that wes and wendy with a full set of brightshade gear do the same damage as an ornery beefalo with a warsaddle anyways, hard to heal in a pinch, being able to be bucked off by bosses themselves, not being able to use walking canes and magiluminecenses for speed makes a beefalo less useful in combat late game because without the damage it has little going for it.

tl;dr :

beefalo have quite some downsides in combat and the ornery warsaddle beefalo not having the damage output (outside of its minor speed boost over the player without any speed boosting items and its large health pool, being able to tank 4 more hits from deerclops than a 150 hp player with both pieces of brightshade gear) doesnt encourage using them against bosses you can fight after ancient fuel weaver or celestial champion has been beaten.
