tModLoader How to make sure that my mod is balanced?

[TarkFrench]

Hello, I'm creating a mod, and I fear that it might be too gamebreaking, too useless or too overpowered compared to the vanilla game.
Do you have any ideas about how I could try to balance it out and make it interesting?

Balancing can be a very difficult task, as people can have a different view on weapons depending on their playstyle.

For testing, I'd recommend letting some people trying out and see what their opinion is about them. (which is probably your intention with your attached file)

For balancing, I recommend testing it with similair weapons that are available at the same tier, and trying them against the same kind of enemies available at that tier, and see how they compare together.

Thanks! I'll be doing that.
