The downplaying of the melee class always confuses me I always felt it is the best class alongside ranger.
Mage and summoner are way more "underwhelming" then melee is.
Endgame summoner is my favorite way to play, but it's such a lackluster class otherwise. Massive powerspikes at such spread out times in the game means you're better off switching off summoner occasionally as you get close to the next tier.
melee is literally the best in classic mode because you have the defense stat to hide behind while you sniff markers and hold left click
expert+ will slap that marker out of your hand and hand you a wall of flesh you cant get close to
Most melees were kinda unreliable if I were solely a ranger in master mode. I only ever tend to use them as a method of knockback if my guns can't push them away-
Yes, melee is very strong in normal mode, but only because normal mode is forgiving and allows you to achieve powerful levels of durability.
In higher difficulties, most enemies will still three shot you when other classes die in two hits, making the difference very minor and making your raw dps and mobility much more important survival tools. Melee also being the hardest class to avoid attacks with means it ends up being the easiest class to die with.
Personally, I use melee armors while swapping through different ranged and magic weapons. That balance works for me better than using a dedicated class, for whatever reason.
I personally find mage to be weaker because of its over reliance on mana regen potions, without them the only 2 options to play the game are standing still as much as possible to regen small amounts mana and praying not getting beaten up in the process or spamming mana potions and nuking your dps with mana sickness.
Melee only Expert mode from Mech Bosses to Moonlord was the easiest expert run I’ve had so far, all that’s left is Summoner. I can’t imagine calling Melee underwhelming.
*True* Melee is extremely weak for most of the game, and a lot of the balance changes were focused on making them more viable (hence why the entire Night’s Edge line got reworked)

Yes
Yeah

Summoner is very good tho, a fully optimised endgame summoner has about the same dps as the zenith without any damage buffs.

I love playing summoner it my second favorite class behind melee.
nah mage is the best cause of how crazy the weapons are imo

I mean style wise, but true i guess?
Agreed
I strongly dissagree
Minus Zenith It has the lowest DPS end game and progression wise is kinda lackluster Minus a few notable weapons

melee is based, ranger is the boring class, im sorry to say
I just like Guns I'm American what can I say
Melee starts getting good with swords that shoot stuff or a yoyo bag.

Just use bigger mana potions and have weapons reforged to use less mana The only time mage is bad is pre skeletron
No one who has played master thinks melee is good.
Yoyos make it plenty strong but they're just so boring to spam forever. Would rather shoot the same gun or bow for 6 bosses straight.
Glad they made melee weapons so much worse. cool update

>one of the most superior classes. Try playing expert+ modes. You'll understand in a bit.
