Wall of Flesh
Really loving the double barreled musket and the rend asunder. Packing the first for when I need the knockback and the second for when I need to just chew the enemy to bits at high speed.
The game really does need some more pre-hardmode ranged armor for gunslinger characters though, I'm just trying to think of a way to make it gunslinger oriented in theme. I'd say something either just before or right after the eye. There's already the Necro set in the dungeon in vanilla that should be okay up to the wall of flesh and Thorium adds a post goblin invasion ranged set made of yew wood so sometime before the brain/eater would seem like the right point to add one.
Maybe something requiring gel and a solidifier so you have to beat the slime king first? Silk and gel blocks to make a kevlar suit? Say defence 9 (equal to full Iron armor with the Iron armor set bonus included where Thorium's Yew Wood armor is equal to full Silver armor with the Silver armor set bonus included) plus whatever bonuses to ranged attacks.
Or skip the solidifier if you think most people are likely to hit a goblin invasion before fighting the slime king. The later is dependant on either a slime rain or finding enough platinum/gold and a ruby to make a crown. Goblin invasions just require breaking an orb/heart which gunslingers want to do as soon as possible.
Thanks for the ideas, but I already had that all planned out. I only meant "maybe" as in I need to figure out how to sprite the armor to make it look good. I always found armor difficult to sprite, but I love rising to the challenge.
