Dodge
dude
Oh wait, you have no movement 
You are summoner you should have like 10 minions swarming them
well there's a alternative to dodging
and thats killing them before they can attack
with all your damage
oh
wait
ok you kill pumpking in 2 seconds with morning star, dark harvest, and durenda;
go on
shit im gonna do a summoner expert run just to spite you soon
THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE TALKING BOUT?
you have no idea how annoying that is dude
You’re just using it wrong
oh no a very slow moving projectile
Obsidian FTW
I guess if you're standing still
my pumpkin moon arena is a pool of water, i sit in the middle of it above the pool hitting every enemy that drops in
Ew my Zenith only does 418 damage
im not able to see the pumpkin when he spawns
I wanted to be at 500
Imagine being so defensive you can't move or do damage.... No wonder you keep dying, which makes you think you need to be EVEN MORE DEFENSIVE

i'd die faster if i had literally 35 defense
who cares about extra summons
they are actually useless
until terraprisma
hmmmmmmmmmm
the main damage comes from the whip and only that
You die less if you could move faster, fly faster, teleport around
Sanguine, Xeno, Optic and almost every fucking summon would disagree with that
whips have damage?
all of those are terrible dude, especially the optic staff
Whips at most deal similar damage to the summons
bro.. the morning star does like 250 damage when legendary
And hits slow as hell
Terrible? You are like the worst summoner in the history of class playthroughs

have you never heard of whip stacking?
Imagine whip stacking and still sucking
exactly you can't say im bad if you dont even know what whip stacking is
I didn’t do it once and my playthrough went just fine 
can you explain it to me so that i may learn from your mistakes
a classic "what not to do" situation
swapping through multiple whips in order to gain any effect or buff they apply, then switching back to your main one to maximize dps as a summoner
sounds like melee with extra steps
You die because you can't move or do damage at range. You seriously need to rethink how you play as summoner. You'd be surprised how much easier it would be if you actually used summoner armor and stacked movement accessories out the wazu
hell even melee would just be easier
dude you're stupid\
get yourself a terrablade since youre already using turtle armor
Literally
im not the fake summoner who's not actually using summons
People on the Zenith seed aren't using defense, they are using movement
At that point just switch classes because that’s just sad

you think i didnt try that?
died in 3 hits like i said, to GOLEM.
you're literally just a melee class with less damage so you have to use actual melee armor which makes you not a summoner
It takes practice but yes it's far better
You’re a bastardized version of two classes that doesn’t do half the damage they do
dude, you can annoy the dude who actually suggested the armor, not me
im just trying to learn how to play summoner on an expert world
both of which are first time
Make a larger arena outside the temple and get a rod of discord and move the fight outside into the underground jungle
not doing a great job if that's how you have to play a "summoner"
First step would be playing as a Summoner
bro, using melee armor to gain defense doesnt automatically make me bad and not a summoner
its purely. for defense
We are trying to tell you how but you are absurd in how absolutely you are willfully ignoring valid advice on improving
you wouldn't fight a boss with wood armor, would you?
I’ll do Master Pumpkin Moon in Pearlwood armor to spite you
A big part of summoner is using summoning armor
And yes I would because I use movement accessories
i really like the tavernkeep set of armors
Actually you are right, I would fight a boss fight naked
so far all you've done is insult me for being bad at dodging...
Ya don’t need armor if you can dodge
No I've told you MANY ways to make it easier to dodge. You freaking ignore them
If your armor doesn’t hold up and you can’t dodge you need to git gud because obviously what you’re doing isn’t working
most difficult summoner playthrough
My jungle doctor isn’t selling jungle wings
jungle wings were made post plantera
Is that a Finch Staff upgrade?
Are they actually ?
ong
because mobility wouldn't help, witch broom is already the fastest way to move while in the air
No it isn’t lmao
texture pack for wands of discord, makes em owl house staff
You can’t dash with the broom
Relying on a relatively slow mount is part of the problem
you dont even need that, its faster to just fly to somewhere than spam A or D every few seconds
It is not, I said use broom before I knew you were bad at dodging. Go back to wings and use frog boots and a balloon. Your flight speed will increase over 60% faster
its literally the fastest flying mount in the game without special buffs
Then why do you keep dying?
the issue with wings is that they are limited, that is going to make you die quicker especially if you're fighting something like pumpking
It’s almost if… having the mobility of a dying tortoise isn’t optimal for Summoner
Broom is for people who are good at avoiding things with minimal movement
Not a crutch because you can’t dodge
Get a Shield of Cthulu
Get Amphibian Boots
Get Wings
Learn to dodge or never make it past Cultist I guess
im not going to fish for 3 hours for something slower than terraspark boots...
Me getting it 3 times within 20 minutes:
OMG you aren't paying attention. Wings+frog boots+balloon will make you FAST AS FOOK BOI. You fly a circle around it and land for a split second then FLY AGAIN
You just complain and don’t take any constructive criticism or advice.
You can't be touched
the second you land you get bombarded by like 12 mourning woods
Maybe you should go back to normal and practice dodging there.
Probably Harpy
Or Angel
Or Demon
Yeah Angel/Demon, Harpy is a grind fest
You are in the air again before they touch you. If you aren't already using a platform above the ground then make one
frozen are the best
how do u get those
i cant place cooked food items on plates only fruits
and besides.. if i fill my accessory slots with purely mobility i wont have anything for my actual class
Half of them for mobility the other half for the class, ignore defense accessories
ice feather from ice golems, blizzard on surface snow biome
You only need like 2-3 class-specific accessories
Wings, Shield, Boots
There
Then you can cram in 3 summoner accessories
It’s that easy
One of the best accessories for summoner has 8 defense, berserker glove
Get warding on that
+12 defense for 1 accessory AND it's offensive
also wouldn't i be completely lacking in horizontal mobility?
I just threw together basic summoner gear, I actually think there's a better staff I can use and I'm not even using a whip
you need both horizontal and vertical movement for dodging pumpking..
SHIELD OF CTHULU
Are you DEAF?
all you need is the broom
Frog boots combine horizontal and vertical movement

why would i stop every few seconds just to double tap A or D constantly...
Master ninja gear would be preferable to shield at this point
that would make me die quicker than simply just using the witch broom
Aight man have fun suffering
Because tapping A or D will make you live?
@stiff panther
Why would you stop? Does it take every ounce of brain power to do it?

It literally accelerates you
So difFicult!!!!!1!1
because.. its double tapping.
just for you imma do one without the broom
Double tapping to quickly and near instantly change directions and reverse horizontal acceleration?
that made the pgymys look good
Yeah that's amazing
well you're forgetting there are the mourning woods which spam fire greek fire
Guys just let him figure it out because he obviously doesn’t want help.
You do have to take your fingers off to double tap, but momentum does exist in terraria
It's the first summon that came to mind
did you watch the other video?
it legit looks decent now, ill have to check out what they buffed on it maybe im tripping
You land on a platform above them for a fraction of a second then you are back in the air out of their range
a dude literally just showed you how easy it is to use the witches broom to dodge, im not gonna break my fingers for one pumpking...
Stop wasting your time man, you aren’t getting through.
You are the one complaining about not being about to dodge cause you are too slow, broom is slower and for experienced players
Gonna be honest I also dont like dash accessories but you cant just deny they are useful
How did this even start?
A dash is in my opinion the best kind of accessory
You are right, I'm done trying to explain to a wall with the IQ of a doorknob
all because i told them i couldn't dodge.
and how didnt it just get dismissed as "skill issue" lol
Because, y’know, I like to dodge attacks
That seems like a you problem chief
Crazy, I know
Does a doorknob have more or less IQ than a wall
is it possible to use the aquator to cheese old ones army
Hahahaha no, no, no. You just want to complain and completely brush aside any advice or constructive criticism for the sake of being argumentative.
stardust dragon or terraprisma? it feels like dragon does better against ML.
We are trying to give VALID advice on how to move better and improve dodging not through "git gud" but through suggestions of accessories that would vastly improve mobility and actually make movement and dodging easier
breaking pumpkings ankles
I think dragon is better for single targets? I'm not too sure
Dragon combos well with firecracker
why firecracker?
The little boink on it’s head 😭
and i already said mobility wont help because im already using the witches broom
Terraprisma used to be better but it got nerfed because apparently it was bugged.
Because 2.75*big damage is big big damage
the scythe whip is like a better firecracker
which is the easiest way to fight pumpking, even if it's slower
A bit risky though
Keep dying and complaining then. See where that gets you.
Maybe consider using wings
And I'm telling you you can have far more mobility than the broom, you don't listen or care.
If you can’t dodge with the broom then don’t use it!!
broom isnt good for bosses imo
wasted slot
the wings offer SO much more mobility in terms of dodging which is REALLY good when you hit wave 15 vs 20 something pumpkings
because anything that's not the broom requires even more button pressing
Broom is for people who are good at dodging in the first place
too slow for me, great for general use though
use Shield of Cthulu, Tabi/Master Ninja Gear, Wings
For some people like me mounts just aren't as mobile as wings, so try to use them please
I agree
Wings have way better acceleration and allows you to dash easier
especially if you use the the betsy wings which have the fastest horizontal mobility in the game
I’m just a really stupid witch in disguise so I like the broom 
theres one half that tells me to remove the wings for something else, and the other half is telling me to use them...
If you don't want a dash have fun
Then don't complain about not being able to dodge cause you can't be arsed to press a few more buttons.

faster than the star from ML?
pre 1.4 I forgor bout star
oh ok
ye starboard is 82mph
bro i literally have to double tap A or D every half second combined with pressing space constantly
Betsy is 62
If you want LEAST button presses in fights become a Minecart player
Also you can actually run faster but that requires weirdchamp setups
but Betsy wings are really good considering they are preML
"I have to press buttons fast in bossfight"
You know what man, skill issue.
Absolutely fucking massive skill issue.
You’d have to do that when dodging either way 
If you don't like pressing buttons, stop playing the game or find a way to cheese the boss
mega skill issue
Not literally every half second, there is a cool down and you don't have to CONSTANTLY dash. You didn't pay attention to anything anyone said at all. Man you need to learn to actually read and think about what people are telling you.
with the witches broom i simply have to press WASD
That's crazy, it's almost like video games require and input from the player to output results 🤯
I usually think "skill issue" is a stupid joke, but in this case, it is. If you can't be bothered to press a button a second time, you are way lazy.
No shit man
Shhesh ya really jumping on this dude
i heard you need to do that for 90% of pc games
hes being irrational
Surprised it's not too hard for you
It's more button pressing, dequipping mount, requipping it having to wasd dance on your keyboard on a mount than it is to just use wings
if you're avoiding being hit
Like... dude... you have to press those buttons so much anyway.
I just don’t see why they’re so dependent on the broom
i focus all of my button pressing on the whips, for whip stacking
You missed the part for literally over an hour people tell him easy ways to vastly improve mobility for little effort and he's like "nope I'm gonna go all in on defense and complain I keep getting hit"
Laziness.
you can do that with whip stack
it is managable to dodge, equip and dequip mount, attack, and whip stack all at once
I do it
They whip stack but don’t use Summons, nor Summoner armor
No point in defense if you get one shot
Makes total sense
with practice you can do it
WHAT IS THE POINT
Lol
WHA???
Exactly
to look cool? makes ya look like a fool
That's your problem, you are trying to do something advanced without knowing how to do the basics
well whips on their own are kinda useless besides just making summons attack a mob
with whip stacking they actually DO SOMETHING
Dude I have over 1K hours and I don’t whip stack. Your poorly-dodging ass should be focusing on mobility.
Lmao
Most minions do fine without whipstacking
💀
ain't true
i never realized the change to some of the weapons in 1.4.4, i did expert boc with rotted fork and pumpkin set somehow
just stood there and spammed left click
Obviously never played summoner, or seen a summoner playthrough
my best summon is literally blade staff, im only DOING pumpkin moons to actually get the raven staff
Whip stacking is useful with summons (Y’know? For the class they’re meant for?)
I don’t wanna be personal, this isn’t rocket science
I failed Master BoC with the Terragrim
Thrice
Solo summoner is actual hell without whips
Blade staff literally rocks wtf
do you know how to use blade
He called Sanguine and Xeno trash
He knows nothing
cause blade is a favorite for many summoner players
it sucks when you're all the way in post golem

sanguine was nerfed because it was too good lol
Yeah, blade staff practically requires whip stacking to be good
xeno is better now
You are past the point of it being useful and you aren't built for blade staff. Blade Staff heavily depends on Sharktooth necklace, stinger necklace, and Ichor flasks
damn
again, not true
And it falls off post plant
Maybe go back to normal because you obviously can’t handle expert.
non-summoner players will use a single blade staff summon and call it bad
i hate building ngl
I import stuff with TEdit
Well, it it still viable without whip stacking, it can kill things
I’ve gotten better at making builds
sadly it's my best summon, and i already said im only doing the pumpkin moon to get raven staff
Not really you can use just a durandal and a icour flash and have it preformed pretty well tbh
But to kill things fast you kinda have to whip stack
and AP items
not at all
True ig
Try to get a deadly sphere
How about you use Summoner armor and use your Summons against the Dreadnautilus to get a good Summoner weapon
you don't really use it for normal enemies
without whip stacking it takes an unreal amount of time to kill bosses
Get the desert tiger 
mostly Bosses, still does good against average foes though
fr after doing a full summoner playthrough blade staff worked for a while until i got sanguine
i.. dont even know how to get that
youre just bad
Wiki.
Eclips
Go hang out in the desert until you can get a key, desert tiger is amazing
As someone who's never done a summoner run, I know that I don't know enough to talk about summoner weapons. More non summoners should...
Take a guess.
||Deadly spheres in solar eclipses||
summoner is fun but did obsidian set get nerfed again in 1.4.4
Desert tiger and deadly sphere are easy to get summons and they actually performs well in 1.4.4
You can look them up in the wiki
That shit was broken
it doesnt take a good player to tell you that summoner without whip stacking takes forever to beat
But other armors finally got whip buffs
They did buff tiki
I just farmed king slime and bloodmoons for desert key took like an hour
No it takes forever because your setup is shit
I beat summoner MM, you cant beat expert Mini Bosses
yeah you just are anti-optimizing
"whips are for summoners, so I'll use a whip and no summons"
???
If I never whip stacked ONCE and breezed through MM Summoner you have no excuse
No, there are several combos that don't require whip stack at all
i was summoner in my last playthrough with a melee and range, and from pre hardmode until a bit into hardmode i did the most dps
literally had no idea it existed until this week
You refuse to listen to the advice of people that actually know what they're talking about. Because button pressing hard. @stiff panther
@stiff panther
summoner was insane
Tbf my MM summoner run is like 100h so I can relate to the struggle but I barley use whip stacking at all
Godmode
is he in journey mode
i turned it off :)
It’s a testament to how bad of a boss Golem is
Summoner actually does a lot of damage if you know what you are doing
But golem is the thing he can't beat lol
you can blame baconfry for the armor suggestion, not me
I'm so shit at golem in specific and I don't know why
I forgot obelisks existed and though you fought during celestial events 
No we blame you 100%
the tiny room
you have no one to blame but yourself </3
Baconfry actually knows what they are doing
I am indeed in journey, but I can show that I am not in god mode if needed
They took time to optimize their setup
what a statement
I wasn’t talking about you fam
And you didn't care to listen to anyone trying to tell you how to build better so you only have yourself to blame here

gotchu
Baconfry could probably take that exact setup and smack Golem and Pumpkin Moon
They messed up so bad that they’re in both a state of shock and denial
Cognitive dissonance
this is so funny
I kinda wanna do summoner whips only now
wait what setup tf i missed
They’re using the worst “summoner” setup I’ve ever seen
no
the set up in question
Turtle Armor, like one Blade summon and no mobility accessories 
what is their full setup
I did it, but it was back when obsidian was 50%-50%

what is that
they were the one that suggested this abomination..
^ this set
no it doesn't just get good
ngl
What’s the point of the shield at this point if their insistence is on broom 
Where are the wings
MY BROTHER IN CHRIST YOU WERE DEFENDING THIS SO HARD
tf is that💀
In what univers for a summoner run ...
Why are you still using boots?
golem.
And the boots too 
its significantly harder to dodge using the witches broom in golem's arena than the boots
Decided to use broom cause i said so, and wont go back even after I said it's probably not for him
That's true
Full tank feels like a weird strat but if you are gonna do it something like a paladin shield or ice turtle shell would be better than shield
Use unicorn
It is definitely hard to dodge WHILE using the broom, you'll need to unmount before you can use the dodge
i replaced them with the scroll
why
Oh my fucking-
legit 3 people told me to before this whole argument
what is going on?
I said it because I didn't know you were still fighting golem in the temple
Cause I said to before I knew how bad he was at dodging and I suggested broom, he won't even listen to me about going back to wings

ur mum
Okay this is genuinely hilarious god
im not, i already killed him
oh lol
ok ofc someone says that
AFTER using the suggested set baconfr gave me
Use Spooky armor. Replace the Worm Scarf with a pair of wings. Keep the Scroll, Necklace and Summoner Emblem.
goddem 
why not spooky or tiki armor?
bc you can't dodge
because you need the buff
Because you’re so bad at dodging </3
Was unaware you even had enough spooky wood for that.
Maybe you should play summoner like a normal person before you start trying advanced strategies you aren't ready for.
Spooky if you can get it and then live while using it
the hallowed armor doesn't really help, i've tried using it
Use actual summons.
because you cant seem to dodge
I believe you
just get good lmao
mad skill issue ngl
If you really can't dodge you can get the OOA armors, although your damage would probably not be good
after the solar eclipse that just happened naturally
You tried using it while face tanking, you haven't tried using it with a proper mobility setup
i think its crazy they nerfed pumpking and buffed those trees
They’re just being silly 😭
i wasn't facetanking? i was actually still trying to dodge
I give up
Legit 65% of summoner is dodging
I hate this
dude waht, i literally said i was going to put on the spooky armor after the solar eclipse
Are you going to use the setup I recommended?
i.. dont remember it
Please just get better at dodging

thats not something you can just say to someone and expect it to happen during one playthrough
^

Use either the Durendal or Dark Harvest if you already have it
Get a Deadly Sphere staff from the Eclipse
dark harvest is nice asf
You were trying to dodge without a good setup for making dodging easy. So you were face tanking cause of a lack of mobility. See how that works? Maybe actually pay attention to things people say and think about how it actually works. If you move faster you can dodge easier, if you can dodge easier you get hit less, if you get hit less the hallow armor will be more effective for the few time you do get hit and you get hit even less still
But you can get better
I would say I discarded about 10% of my skill issue after playing summoner
You are refusing to practice dodging you've already decided (I can't do this) because it's ur first playthrough just get better my dude
Look man you have the potential to be good at the game but you have to take the advice being literally thrown at you
Trust it really isn't hard
In all fairness practice is what makes someone good at dodging
He just needs practice
Practicing dodging is easier with stacking a ton of movement accessories, as you get better you won't need them as much
i practice dodging by fighting almost anything, and you already said it was my first playthrough
course im gonna be bad at it
Attempt feeding is probably the way to go in your case
Just keep trying until you figure it out
If you want to completely remove your skill issue
Then make it easier to do so it's easier to practice.
Your first playthrough and you decided to play summoner of all things
(I’m not recommending this to him, just in general)
The class with possibly the highest skill ceiling
my first SUMMONER playthrough, i've done melee and ranger before this
imo the easiest way to practice is to do journey mode, gives you god mode if you wanna study the pattern/recover health and you have infinite summons
In classic
can I see your ranger build?
After beating Supreme Calamari in Revengeance you can dodge any vanilla boss
Bro prolly has spooky armor in that one 💀
does anyone have a spare obsidian rose I can have or perhaps trade for?
Download an item world
I’ve never seen someone goof up so bad that it’s genuinely amusing to watch
how do I do that?
I think I have one and you can have it for free, the catch it I’m about to go to bed.
Steam workshop
u not online in terraria atm?
No
no you see, the radar is the hidden ranger tech bc while the enemies are off screen you still know they haven't despawned
I specifically remember having an extra
does it? why
It’s fucking Touhou but Terraria
oh
Community and devs reject all vanilla stuff
I hate that
Good in vanilla = bad in calamity
i love calamity but
It’s hard as hell but rewarding to finally beat a boss
A lot of calamity people I've met are elitists, think calamity is better than anything
Yharon and Supreme Calamitas always give me the most trouble
when people reject vanilla as bad juat cause a mod has more stuff
thats just stupid
well i got the last ingredient for terrablade atleast
I prefer vanilla but I still love calamity
To be fair calamity is the best terraria mod I have knowledge of
thats true
Grats switch to melee you are over half way there already
Thorium is fun
And I think the direction they are taking the mod is good
good whip in my opinion
true
Terrawhip
Terra Blade is cracked as fucc
we need more whips and summons
Provided you use a full Melee Speed build
theres nothing really
Moon lord whip wen/
Imagine playing ranged, using mage armor and deciding only shooting in the opposite direction was optional.

Tentacles
ok now i want a whip that hits multiple times in one
like a multiwhip
I want Zenith-type items with every class
Shockwave whip
they already hit multiple times, but ik what you mean
I want Ranger to have an endgame weapon that pierces
zenith whip when
If I subscribed on something in workshop, how do I play it or how to phrase it
Really the only thing holding it back
like, three... whip heads? idk
I think I know of a certain whip that has split ends
who are you trying to make fun of with this comment
Cat o’ nine tails?
cool sniper weapon
High velocity bullets
hes making fun of you, fight back
Anyway just got terraspark
No I want infinite inherent piercing
the zenith and solar eruption are both whips and you can't tell me otherwise
ayy nice
I can finally stop dying to 200 damage lava
Zenith is a Boomerang.
The noob you told to use an advanced strategy before he knew how to actually play the class

it really is, never thought of it that way
Zenith is quite literally a Boomerang, game files don’t lie.
what can I say? the strategy worked against golem while the "meta" glass cannon full spooky strategy didn't
You recommended it to probably the most inept person possible
isnt every(?) weapon a projectile too?
spears are projectiles
so are swords
when i test these defensive builds, i play like ass on purpose
its the best way to program these weapon types
You didn’t play as ass as you thought
much better than recommending a glass cannon buiild and telling people to just learn how to dodge
Ah so you read absolutely nothing
I don't think the swords themselves are projectiles. They can shoot projectiles
Summoner is glass cannon, I lovw it
in the files they are
here is a video of me killing master mode queen slime with a defensive build while grappled in place https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IB-Mqtx5sz8
i wasn't expecting this to actually work
The suggestion to make an arena outside the dungeon and rod of discord to it is probably more helpful to a noob that can't dodge. More open space for easier dodging.
And yet the dude still dies to Golem
not mechanically or you'd get hit by mimic reflect
that's true
We aren’t blaming you for the ineptitude but damn you could’ve recommended something else
it was based on pure mathematics
it was more realistic to reduce the damage taken by half than to increase the damage dealt by 2x
7:30 PM
at night
i,, dont have a watch
how
when the sun goes down
When you touch a sun or moon dial
Might wanna craft one
i love the dial changes
dials have become such a blessing
thats really cool!
actually i think i can sleep through it, i think there are so many enemies in my water pit that no more can spawn
I never got a dial to drop
You can’t sleep through it
Nor can you sleep through a blood moon
Dials resetting on every event is BEST CHANGE EVER. Is what I would say... If they didn't ADD A SECOND DIAL
Have you gotten the Deadly Sphere staff?
what do you guys think is the biggest glass cannon set up
ok well dial it is

nnnno i havent looked it up yet
You get it from the Eclipse
It's from the solar eclipse
From Deadly Spheres
But you need to kill golem
hallowed headgear + dark artist robes and leggings
O shit
i got my terraprisma with that set and arcanum
is that optimal for mage?
for burst damage yes
You don’t fight daytime Empress on-tier?
terraprisma is on the same level of power as pillar weapons so i don't mind waiting
haven't played it since 1.1
@stiff panther seriously consider a berserker glove, it can give you 12 defense and greatly increases whip speed
I actually don’t like Mage
I tried it, great DPS and all but it’s not for me
is the "enemies more likely to target you" a multiplayer thing?
also i think thats crimson only..
Ahhh you’re corruption?
aggro range
yeah
every world i have ever made, all corruption
can still get it
Still it can work I guess
You can make an artificial underground crimson
just ask for a crimson one next time, don't go random
You can get crimson, you can buy the seeds for it from the Dryad in the graveyard. Then make a crimson arena underground and fight natural crimson mimics
it also needs to be a blood moon
tbh i think it is worth it if you want to continue using tank summoner
wowwww
No it doesn't, not for opposite evil seeds, just needs to be hard mode and in a graveyard
glass cannon summoner is my favorite
until recently it was thought to be the only type of summoner that existed until v knight
Huh?
i despise nailheads so much
got it, misread the wiki text "During a blood moon in a crimson world, or while in a graveyard in a hardmode corrupt world"
whats v knight? also same
the nails that nailhead spam everywhere deal more damage than golem jumping on you
where should i farm a compass?
valhalla knight armor from tavernkeep
and they legit lock onto i swear
ohh
I thought you needed to kill golem for the tier 3 solar eclipse
🤔
Am I mistaken?
Only plantera
they got so much defense, deal damage higher than golem, and just ruin your solar eclipse
even mothrons are easier to deal with than them
cavern layer
so crawdads?
They are the perfect thing to practice dodging on.
Have you considered hiding behind blocks?
crawdads, salamanders, piranhas, mother slimes
few more
that wont work, because im summoner i cant hit enemies through walls unless its a worm
hey it looks like you won't have any difficulty making that graveyard biome
You can tag it and hide behind blocks if you are using blade
I think
This statement is completely ass backwards, you can hit enemies anywhere on the screen at any time as a summoner. Summon your minions near them or put down sentries
Dominick
I'm pretty sure this works on the nailheads but if you make a platform arena that is off the ground enough that they almost fall off screen, when the pinheads spawn in or any ground enemy really, you just drop down and they'll fall to the floor and you can stay on the platforms
what
whips don't hit through walls unless its an enemy that literally goes through them
they literally dont
Once again you didn't read... SUMMON MINIONS OR SENTRIES NEAR THEM
what is the candle that reduces spawn rate? the crystal one?
aw after all that, no deadly sphere staff
peaceful
ty
@stiff panther whips aren't your only weapons you can use, use MINIONS AND SENTRIES
How many times do people have to say it?
i am i just cant get sentries because old ones army is actually quite hard to deal with
OOA isnt the only source of sentries, get a frozen key
Frost Hydra will SLAP
Spider queen staff if nothing else
also uhh, how do i get a moon charm, i got everything for a celestial shell BUT that
secret summoner strategy
werewolves
ugh
Look at your moon, on full moons for werewolf hunting
If you do fishing quests you can get a sextant
That tells you moon phase
should i put this on?
@stiff panther say are you using any potions? Potions made from fishing are the most OP part of the game, and flasks are amazing for whips
cuz i see damage melee speed, life regen, defense, and minion knockback
all good for me
i've got ironskin potions, swiftness potions, ichor flasks, and cursed flame flasks
- bbq ribs and coffee
alr finally, this better?
You should make potions from fish
+10% more damage
+10% more crit
+10% damage reduction
+20% more HP
A GIANT CIRCLE OF FIRE THAT DAMAGES ANYTHING NEAR YOU
I approve 👍
Lmao get better fishing gear
I had much better rates than that
i dont... think crit chance is useful though, last i checked summons dont do critical hits at all
If you read the wiki you’d know that all you need is either the Hotline Hook and the Lava-Proof Fishing hook or the Lava Hook and Hell Bait
You get bites just as frequent as normal fishing
"all you need"
It’s either a rod and an accessory or an accessory and bait
thats quite a lot
as if it's a trivial amount of effort
It really is
Imagine doing lava fishing before having max fishing build with base like 145 fishing power

I did it to get the hook and fish faster
i've been using a wood fishing rod all this time... this is probably why i never got dreadnautilus
Didn’t even need the lava loot
uh yeah, might need to upgrade... a bit
I still have an extra Lava Charm
also i completely forgot about ageis fruit...
i think its the only buff i DIDNT shimmer...
You should explore the jungle and get a fiberglass fishing pole, then do 30 fishing quests
You got the Galaxy Pearl?
mechanics rod is better tho
im not doing 30 fishing quests heck no-
I got the Golden Rod completely by accident
Angler’s been good to me
If I ever get the Hotline Hook I’ll lose my shit because I’ve never gotten it legitimately
he still getting the lava pit dealth penalty though, right?
angler has been a pain to get the 3rd fishing accessory
You should, it gets you the best fishing pole and all the fishing armor, you can fish Soo much faster and get better stuff with fishing and make some of those super OP potions very easily
As soon as I get the Hotline Hook I’m destroying him
at least buy the rod from the mechanic or something
i remember i couldnt get the cell phone because of course it needed me to fish
AND it was luck based
and that was legit all i needed
thankfully you can shimmer duplicates
You can use the save trick to get the drop you want
Turn off autosave, save and exit
i actually never done a single fishing quest in my life..
isn't it just exit?
Go back into the world and turn in the fish
oh okay
If you don’t get what you want close the game
Fishing quests and fishing in general are the most overpowered part of the game. If you aren't fishing you are leaving a TON of power untapped
Rinse and repeat
anything i should replace with the celestial stone? i see a lot of buffs it gives thats useful for me
boots..
You already said you hate dashing so remove the shield
Shield
alr
What is the top accessory?
Ahhh I can’t imagine playing without dash
Probably the necklace
Frog leg
they are wings
oops
didnt mean to send a screenshot
uhhhh.... no
spooky wings
i need the summons
You need wings and boots?
yeah.. everyone kinda does
Mobility is important
Get a Hercules Beetle and craft the Papyrus Scarab
who is everyone?
Then get another Scroll
me when
More important than damage I'd say
Get another scroll
Me when poor
Replace the necklace
@stiff panther replace the boots with amphibian boots, you still run fast AND you fly faster

but iwould have to fish for that...
and god am i not ready for fishing
frog legs are an incredibly ez drop
chance?
Idk but I get them all the time
I don’t even want them but I keep fishing ‘em up
I told you, fishing is the most OP part of the game, go into the jungle for a fishing pole or buy one from the mechanic or traveling merchant

I can't do the math rn, just get the mechanical rod n some worms. You should get it ez
uhh... shee isnt selling any..
she sells it depending on the moon phase
She only sells it during specific moon phases
of course she does :(
Which is why I said search the jungle
as long as its not a full moon or a new moon she will sell it
that's def not true
What
it's way easier than that
SONAR POTIONS
That is probably true
May as well fish for some potion ingredients fish
Summoning, wrath, endurance and lifeforce potions will help significantly
i have a very limited about of bait and criters do not like spawning :)
you weren't using summoning potions??
nnno
When you are above a certain amount of fishing power you kinda naturally get bait back
purely bewitching table and gear
Then do fishing quests and get more bait

You can get hundreds of master bait
Fish for crates once you have good fishing gear and BAM even more bait
oh ok
Bait is self-sustaining if you do quests and crates
hell ye, fishin brother
Now you are playing summoner
Jungle critters are good as well

i get bait from breaking jungle bushes mainly
Lava critters are also fairly decent
I sold a lot of em tho
im convinced compasses are an UR drop
That is, if you find yourself running out of bait
this dude stole the house i built for witch doctor :(
only witch doctor deserves the gold furniture >:(
He deserves it
guess what has higher DPS, flameburst staff or queen spider staff
Angler is the top NPC, his personality sucks, but he gives the most important stuff
wrong, angler, steampunker and dryad deserve the love
yeah but no bewitching table
automatically bad npcs
has to be spiderqueen right bc the venom n the baby spiders?

You can fish for summoning potion, that's like bewitching table, so Angler good

yeah but no sex-tant
yes but venom is not the reason
just the baby spiders?
yep
makes sense
bro i odnt wanna fight this thing
i dont even get anything useful from it
flameburst is just pathetic
would throwing a flesh knuckle in shimer swap it to putrid scent?
no :(
PAInnn
it ties with ballista for single target but at least ballista is realistically likely to pierce something, and vknight set bonus actually increases its DPS
i dont wanna go in to a corupt hardmode...
Angler makes the most OP part of the game easier, gets you the Cellphone/Shellphone, gives a mount, and infinite buckets and sponges. Angler is top NPC, if you deny that you are deep in denial
but fishing takes too much time
🧢
Me when 128 frost minnow
witch doctor better
no proof needed
is in denile
nah, its easy with the three potions and accessories he gives you, just make a loadout with all that
i never understand why people defend flameburst for any reason
with the potions yes it is a lot easier
fishing for ice skates 
but still it takes forever for me to get a quest fish
Depends on rng
probs not deep enough biome lakes
i have the zenith but i still haven't finished 20 quests
You can potentially spend all day fishing but not get the quest fish
took me about 30 boreal crates before i got ice skates
i feel you.... 
i guess im just lazy
^
my current motivation to "fight this thing" is increasing
very good accessory set
If you fight them in the ocean they drop more maps for fighting them infinitely

Super good source of money
can you fight em in the ocean?
Provided you don't die
finally got a compass on an increased spawn potion, water candle and blood moon, oof
If you have a town there and lock your NPCs in their houses with blocks, yes
ooo yummy
"The Pirate Invasion is a Hardmode event where pirate-themed enemies spawn and swarm the world's original spawn point"
you could maybe lead em to the ocean on a small world
You can fight them anywhere you have a town
Trust me, I do it all the time
I always thought they were center
Noice, the worse hardmode summon
fished for iceskates... did it 3 times 
worse than blade staff?
blade staff is incredibly op
Blade Staff is amazing, you just use it wrong.
darn that means i have to do more pumpkin moons for raven staff...
when should i fight the eye of Cthulhu
maybe after you get some basic armor
Whenever you think you can fight him
ok
Would you look at that, don't even need a house
ehhhh for what its worth i rather take on the dreadnotlis for its summon weapon
Maybe when you have some movement accessories
Sanguine staff got nerfed
what do you think is the best biome chest?
fr?
corruption or snow
Blade Staff is amazing with sharktooth necklace and stinger necklace as the armor penetration of each is more valuable than all menacing accessories for them
In terms of loot?
id say either ice or jungle, for early summoner
jungle?
the tiger
Desert
tiger is desert
That's tiger
Jungle is ranger
the piranha gun is jungle
OK OK I AM MISTAKEN
crimson, not even close
why is there no dungeon chests in my large world
is it that i haven't checked enough?
vamp knives still good?
Vampire Knives are overrated
I like crimson and desert chest in terms of loot
the only way to lose is to die, vamp knives make you not die
ive checked the map but there is only the jungle chest in my world
it's like godmode outside of journey mode
They were nerfed a bit but are still good
carry a dangersense potion, it'll exposed cracked walls which leads to more dungeon
there's a reason why moon lord specifically stops lifesteal
a bit??
Check for crumbling walls
they were nerfed more than my precious stormbow
dps was never the main reason to use vamp knives anyways
Drink a dangersense potion so see hidden paths
How badly was the healing destroyed
When did vampire knives get nerfed?
1.4.4
optic or Sanguine
a lot
Sanguine
When they were released they got nerfed harder than obsidian armor
only the damage was nerfed
I'd say they are tied
who cares about the damage
should i attempt EOL with my current setup?
Sure why not
Empress is all about dodging
I got some news for you..
vamp knives are basically like chugging a greater healing potion every 5 seconds
do you have a flying mount? or master ninja gear?
they nerfed the regen "Desktop 1.2.2: Items which regenerate health per hit now have a cap of 2 hearts per second"
i got the witch broom
not again
you good if you can dodge
that is still a disgusting amount of healing
Oh that hurts
But still that's not bad
oh I agree
That's like

10 seconds to a full heal?
I haven't ever really used em, I haven't really played melee since 1.3 first dropped
hi
absolute insanity
@stiff panther consider a rod of discord for instantly getting out of the way of stuff

with all my buffs combined i should be able to kill her and get the whip though
oh yeah i have one
Vampire knives got nerfed in 1.4.4?
i just dont have the muscle memory to press 5 and dodge
as long as it's not during the day
I don't see it in changelog
Then again if TF2's taught me anything it's that a lot can change in 10 seconds
no it was a long time ago
i wish you could set the rod of discord to a keybind :(
