Okay, I'm just gonna mention this right off the bat- I don't know if this is in the right section. If it isn't then I'm sure a nice moderator will fix it!
But there are very few major balancing issues in Terraria (*cough cough* GOLEM *cough cough*) because the Terraria team is full of geniuses! But there are quite a few minor balancing issues, and here are some of them- (In top 5 order, because WHY NOT?)
Honorable mentions- There are a few weapons that just didn't make the list for a few various reasons, and i will talk about them for just a bit-
- Stardust Dragon Staff- This can be EXTREMELY OP, but this is only with really good summoning armor/accessories, which will lower your defense, so that kind of balances it out.
- Last Prism- I was gonna put it as #1 on the list because of how it tears everything to SHREDS, but it doesn't make the list because that is simply because it is the best Moon Lord drop (IMO) and there will always be a favorite weapon drop.
- Arkhalis- This was also going to be in the list, but it is extremely rare and it is hard to find the Shrines in general early game. So this isn't on the list.
5. Vampire Knives-
4. The Bees Knees/Beenades-
3. Onyx Blaster-
2. Fetid Baghnakhs-
1. The Daedalus Stormbow!-
Okay, so I could ramble on about OP weapons/items for HOURS, but I just decided to make this top 5. This was actually kind of fun! Leave a reply if you liked this then I can do more top 5's for OP/UP items/weapons! If anything should be switched, please let me know with an old fashioned reply, and I'll see ya later!

5. Vampire Knives-
I really don't want to say this, because I LOVE the Vampire knives! But they still need a bit of a nerf, although *this* has already happened- (1.2.0.3: Attack speed (12 now 16), damage (35 now 29), knockback (3.5% now 2.75%) and life return (10% now 7.5%) have all been reduced.) (Taken from http://terraria.wiki.gg/Vampire_Knives) But even though there was already this pretty MASSIVE nerf, they are still OP as FUDGE. So I think that the damage should simply be reduced to 26 and the lifesteal should be reduced to 6.5%, but as slight compensation, the range should have a few blocks added.
4. The Bees Knees/Beenades-
I put these in the same category because they are both dropped by the Queen Bee and are both equally OP. You can take down the expert mode Wall of Flesh with absolute EASE with these weapons alone. I think that the damage of the bees should be reduced and the amount should be reduced by quite a bit. And just a side note- The Bee Gun sucks and needs a buff.
3. Onyx Blaster-
Yeah, I know that this was just recently added, but this is quite OP for something that can be gotten in very early hardmode. I even watched a youtuber (By the name of Happy Days) use it for a short time while fighting Golem in a gunslinger playthrough! And it was doing DECENT DAMAGE! I think that the damage should simply be nerfed from 28 to 24 and maybe require a slightly more difficult crafting recipe. (Perhaps Illegal Gun Parts?)
2. Fetid Baghnakhs-
So these, the Vampire Knives, and the BoC are the 3 reasons that I prefer Crimson over Corruption. But they are in need of a MAJOR nerf. These can (theoretically) be obtained under 20 minutes into Hardmode. That is WAY too early to be getting something this OP! I have these slots in my inventory where put my 4 best weapons of each class, so I can change it depending on my mood. For melee, I have the Terrarian, the Meowmere, the Star Wrath, and I want to decide between the Flairon and the Fetid Baghnakhs. If I am deciding between an almost END-GAME weapon and an EARLY HARDMODE weapon, I think that there is a slight issue. (I went for the Flairon for the increased range). Since the speed is what they're known for, that can stay the same. But the damage should be changed from 70 to 50 and they should have a knockback of 3.
1. The Daedalus Stormbow!-
OMG. This is, hands down, the most OP, INSANE weapon of it's tier. The Fetid Baghnakhs do have higher DPS, but at least they have such a short range! And this bow with Holy Arrows, just omfg. You will TEAR APART the Mech bosses, and if you're doing a vanilla archer playthrough, then you are almost definitely going to use it for Plantera rather than the Chlorophyte Shotbow. (I just think it's better.) And even if you don't, it is several tiers before Chlorophyte, and they are both comparable in power. I DEFINITELY think it should be nerfed like the Vampire Knives were, but worse. I want the damage to be reduced from 43 to 37, I want the speed to be changed from 18 to 16, and I want Holy Arrows as a WHOLE to be nerfed from 13 to 8.
