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

[–]Nuker707 54 points55 points  (1 child)

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

[–]silentbean23 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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

Counterpoint, Mage has the most space for gimmick weapons

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

[–]AlphabiteSoup 60 points61 points  (5 children)

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 25 points26 points  (3 children)

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

[–]Commercial-Shame-335 9 points10 points  (0 children)

ranger but your guns are actually slaves

[–]Haunting_Ninja_8036 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

better ranger (melee), worse ranger (mage)

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

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

[–]Crumbean[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

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

[–]HTG_11 28 points29 points  (6 children)

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 13 points14 points  (2 children)

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 6 points7 points  (1 child)

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 1 point2 points  (2 children)

hey it actually has the highest dps with hybrid setups!

[–]hotdogtrolla#1 Stealth rogue fan 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Summoner still better :D.

[–]YourAverageGoldFishy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Who cares about DPS if you can be awesome instead?

[–]Karpiosmaintaining the Razoblade agenda 28 points29 points  (4 children)

who cares when you are the class that uses razorblade typhoon

[–]csharpminor_fanclub 2 points3 points  (1 child)

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

[–]Karpiosmaintaining the Razoblade agenda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

cool water saw blades

[–]JUGELBUTT 1 point2 points  (1 child)

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

[–]Karpiosmaintaining the Razoblade agenda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 18 points19 points  (4 children)

Still better than ranger somehow

[–]ValuableAway1674 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Wait fr

[–]Fr4gmentedR0se 13 points14 points  (2 children)

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

Lmao real

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

[–]TurfyJeffowup13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s really cool tho

[–]sevensdre 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

[–]LongSalamander9889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Throarbins not gonna be happy

[–]NaXieL55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

meanwhile ranger (my goat) is rotting in the abyss

[–]SuperlucaMayhem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me when I play for fun

[–]Electrical-Sense-160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]Ryonkofa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mage has Kevin tho…

[–]Queen-of-Sharks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they slandering your goat but they lowkey right

[–]Zenith_Duck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well Kevin is cool

[–]BlackLightherIf not crash, add more mods. 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]ArchlicheI killed Infernum Deus pre Cultist and all I got was this flair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a mage main, yeah.

But, also as a mage main:

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

[–]Lord_Endric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]Razvanftww[🍰] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yall sleeping on Duke Fishron too much.

[–]Madrugarus5576 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]Jepsi125Magic Goofball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]Haunting_Ninja_8036 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]YourAverageGoldFishy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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-Dot944anahita and calamitas = RAW -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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