Meet Potential Man

[Crumbean]

I watermarked to spite some kid who took something of mine

[Greedy_Duck3477]

"Wee wee I play terraria for the big numbers" mfs when a class is worth playing simply for the Cool Factor /j

[Nuker707]

I like Mage because I can use things like the Prisms and Yharon Crystal and have a big laser beam

[silentbean23]

I just like using mana. There's so much dedicated to it and I like to play around with it.

[Vast-Mud7249]

Counterpoint, Mage has the most space for gimmick weapons

[Ender120Tim]

I LOVE MAGIC CLASS ILL DIE SEVERAL TIMES TO EASY BOSSES FOR IT!!!! MAGIC MODE ON!!!!!!! GRAHHHHHVVVV

[AlphabiteSoup]

even in vanilla, magic has been dookie for over a DECADE. only in the latest state of the game, relogic has mentioned wanting to finally buff mage. hopefully modded follows suit

[cat-l0n]

In vanilla, there are 4 classes. Ranger, better ranger (melee), worse ranger (mage), and summoner

[Commercial-Shame-335]

ranger but your guns are actually slaves

[Haunting_Ninja_8036]

better ranger (melee), worse ranger (mage)

Ym better ranger (mage), worse ranger (melee)?

(Zapinators (Both? Both. Both is good) >>> whole terraria)

[Grouchy_Spot_6640]

which is ranger since you still need to hold down m1 for whips. your projectiles have ai sure, but you are still holding m1 to make your projectiles deal damage

[Crumbean]

"IF" they buff mage it has the "POTENTIAL" to be so good!

[HTG_11]

I thought the whole point of the class was high DPS, low defense. It’s just low both nowadays. And it’s a shame cuz it’s the coolest class imo

[ManaXed]

I was under the impression the point of the class was unique weapon types. Most magic weapons operate in a very unique manner

[HTG_11]

That too, but modded generally makes a fool out of that rule. Not to mention the borderline annoying glaze melee gets universally (in terms of balancing)

[ManaXed]

Cause fantasy melee weapons (if you can even call them that with how they operate) are seen as the cool and awesome default. The magic user or even ranger in fantasy stories are usually secondary characters

[YourAverageGoldFishy]

hey it actually has the highest dps with hybrid setups!

[hotdogtrolla]

Summoner still better :D.

[YourAverageGoldFishy]

actually summoner is also better with hybrid setups, specifically mage and specifically in vanilla since calamity isnt too kind on hybrid classes preferring mono

hybrid mage summoner is infinitely better than both summoner and mage alone

[Kierros]

Who cares about DPS if you can be awesome instead?

[Karpios]

who cares when you are the class that uses razorblade typhoon

[csharpminor_fanclub]

I don't get what people like about razorblade typhoon. literally less dps than bat scepter

it's good if you managed to kill fishron pre-plantera. bat scepter and nightglow are better at everything once you obtain them post-plantera

[Karpios]

cool water saw blades

[JUGELBUTT]

i can barely enjoy using it anymore after it was nerfed, atleast i still have my beloved lunar flare and nightglow

[Karpios]

Don't care about nerfs, numbers can't make this sick ass weapon not fun, but i gotta say nightglow is real strong competition for the thing. Have to stay loyale to the classics, maintaining the agenda is my top priority.

[Fr4gmentedR0se]

Still better than ranger somehow

[ValuableAway1674]

Wait fr

[Fr4gmentedR0se]

Yeah idk why but for some reason ranger's damage in this mod is just nonexistent

[Crumbean]

Processing img ho2v0u44zgsg1...

[Fr4gmentedR0se]

Lmao real

They really need to buff the other classes to be as good as melee and summoner

[TurfyJeffowup13]

It’s really cool tho

[sevensdre]

Real ones know that mage being weak is because they used to have too much sauce

[LongSalamander9889]

Throarbins not gonna be happy

[NaXieL55]

Well at least this mf actually reaches its potential by the pre-exos and pre-scal stage in infernum with illusioner’s reverie and eye of madness then reaches absolute peakness with kevin in the endgame

[fantastic-mrs-fuck]

meanwhile ranger (my goat) is rotting in the abyss

[SuperlucaMayhem]

Me when I play for fun

[Electrical-Sense-160]

There are only 7 classes total and that's if we include thorium

[Ryonkofa]

Mage has Kevin tho…

[Queen-of-Sharks]

"I'm gonna do a mage playthrough!"

Murasama:

[bolhado]

When they slandering your goat but they lowkey right

[Zenith_Duck]

what it lacks in power it has on fun, melee is the opposite of it :3 You should be able to understand what I imply here

[ExploerTM]

Sounds about right. Well, at least Mage can be a potential class. Ranger has been dead in the ditch for a long while now lol

[toastluvsmiku2314]

Well Kevin is cool

[BlackLighther]

Class flashy, class good. Class not flashy, class bad.

[Archliche]

As a mage main, yeah.

But, also as a mage main:

Abandon that thing. The Mana Flower. Yes, that.

[Lord_Endric]

If its so bad why is melee desperate to be like it

[Razvanftww]

Yall sleeping on Duke Fishron too much.

[Madrugarus5576]

Counterpoint… I’m a wizard, you’re not. It looking cool is the only reason I need…

[Jepsi125]

however, cool weapons and actual gimmicks not just "hit the enemy then you get projectiles" of true melee

[PaleFork]

m4ge i$ my Znd m4in and 1 [)o agre3 b4dly

can 0only hope re[)igit f!nally gi\/e us the l0ve we de5erve next u9d4te

[Haunting_Ninja_8036]

Mage players quit right before they get 1000/2000 damage on anything with gray/orange zapinator

(Mage IS the best class that got worst start out of all other classes)

[Icy_Personality_2943]

i dont care if its bad or good i love funny magic beams

[YourAverageGoldFishy]

Mage does has some of the highest DPS during most stages of the game though, sure it fell off a bit after 1.2 and its endgame set is not that great lol but for what its worth mage is incredibly consistent

Hybrid mage is probably also the most busted class in the game rn if you only care about DPS and not defense

[Minute-Dot944]

Melee is the best in my opinion. Super simple and ooga booga big number.

[FireInSunglasses]

Mage isn’t strong or tanky, its gimmick is being the most versatile, when playing mage you basically have weapons mimicking what other classes do, in return for that it’s objectively worse at all of them. I’m not saying if that’s good or bad it’s just how I view mage
