Terrarian
When playing an RPG my favorite class is generally an Archer. Not your rapid fire, blot out the sun type that is prevalent in games today. The kind that takes their time lining up a shot to do critical damage, basically a sniper using a bow.
Sadly Terraria goes for the rapid fire route and I just can't really bring myself to play the game as an archer. So I did the obvious thing and started working on a mod.
The goal of Longbows is to bring the Marksman/Sniper archetype of Archers to Terraria and making sure they are relevant instead of just a gimmicky class to appease a minority. I'm looking at you throwing weapons.
All longbows have a set use time of 60. This means you should be firing 1 arrow every second. To make up for the slower speed, longbows have a higher base critical chance and will have roughly 2-3.5x more base damage. They also have autofiring. Because nobody should ever be subjected to click spamming.
The mod is now available for download. Download through the mod browser or click this link
Feedback is welcome. Just keep in mind that this is my first attempt at modding, so the things I can actually do are very limited.
All implemented longbows should be doing at least as much dps as their vanilla bow/repeater equivalent. Please let me know if any of the longbows are weaker than intended.
Currently there is a Longbow for every primary type of metal. Alternate metals are coming soon. I will attempt to added variants for dropped bows later on.
