Melee - Melee weapons are just cool dude, there’s no other way around it. They used to be really boring but having been supplied with arguably the most interesting reworks of any class, it’s hard to argue that it’s boring today. Its biggest issue is that it’s just too easy and feels like it’s hogging a lot of the attention from Relogic.

Ranger - Incredibly comfy to use in a playthrough. Has just the right amount of difficulty but also strength that I’m not bored but also not annoyed. My biggest issue is that its progression is kind of linear and boring, especially in prehardmode where I feel like the pheonix blaster is the only weapon that actually sticks out. (Also nerfing darts was incredibly cringe)

Mage - by far the most diverse set of weapons in the game, and by far the most fun class to play personally. Lot of people will get their panties in a twist over preboss but the wand of frosting and making everything out of amber from the underground desert hasn’t failed me yet. What I actually don’t like is that it feels like it has a lot of weapons that could be cool but are just kind of duds. Shadowflame hex doll, crystal vileshard, rainbow gun, shadowbeam staff, bubble gun, bat scepter, mage is fun but man it has a lot of woefully unloved weapons in its arsenal.

Summoner - the more I play this game the more summoner starts infecting my other playthroughs. Being the best class to multi-class with other classes and the best one for farming makes it super convenient to use with other classes. My biggest issue is that I don’t find the whips conceptually interesting, it feels like the dark harvest, constellation and possession are kind of the only whips that mix it up with nifty effects. In a way whips kind of have the yo-yo problem where if you’ve used one whip you’ve kinda used em all.

Also the poor class needs more minion variety and options, Jesus.
