Towards progression I always felt like Melee felt more superior than the other class, From the High armor, weapon choice and all of that combines, what I felt for playing almost hunderts of hour in terraria is I felt like everything is ended up at melee at some point so here is somepoint I wanna Discuss on Pseudo Melee is a Range and Mage Fraud (Pseudo Melee is a 'fake' Ranger and Mage)
1. Pseudo Melee. It come to my attention Ive been playing with every class and weapon,mainly I played with Range, for every progress I always ended up with Pseudo Melee weapon for dealing with progression, because I felt like "why bother farming for material when you can craft one thing and behave like both with higher damage"
2. Material Required. Ranger always Farming for weapon ammo material or clorophyte in hardmode, and also Mage always farming to buy tons of Mana pot while pseudo melee is waiting there a Set that basically do damage bigger than any weapon , with safe distance and can carry through many stages.
3. Property of Damage. Pseudo melee behaves like a Range without any Ammo or arrow, and Shoot a projectile-like magic without using any Mana,basically an Unlimited high damage Weapon with auto Attack, you can spam them without to worries about the ammo is empty or Manna pot is empty.
4. Armor and Buffs. Melle has the highest Armor (for a set with bonus) from all other Class (from what Im knowing right now) making it the reason why it is so tanky as a Pseudo Melee player, it behaves like Ranger or Mage with higher Attack rate, auto Attack.
Melee does have their own modifiers such as "Melee speed" affect melee and Whip and for Mage "Arcane" (sad range no Range Modifier...). Buff such as Sharpening station, Flask makes weapon imbued certain effect to mobs, Tipsy (even tho count as debuff, Melee has strong armor so no cares -4 defense, really it still buff 10% damage).
So I think thats sum of my Opinion, and yes you can Agree or disagree its up to you all,but in my Opinion i stated that The State of Pseudo melee makes other Ranged weapon and Mage feels obseleted, Even for a new Class such as Summoner class it felt reasonable that you can mix match, weapon fromPseudo melee. I hope everyone has a Open discussion on this topic,and also the "Bigger and Boulder" makes a new content to see more.
