I usually specialize in melee tank builds myself, I only really see influx being hyped up for cultist since the thinner projectile makes it easier to not hit the clones. Every other fight you're gonna prefer terra blade, flying dragon on the other hand I will hype up in just about every melee build.

Yeah, that's fair. I usually play ranger so I don't have to worry about that. Cough. *Tsunami existing*
Still, I've seen people get very defensive over whether Influx is better then Terra, but I'll never use influx.

I think meteor armour is the better set when comparing to jungle. You get 9% extra damage total (27% damage vs 18% crit chance) at the cost of 3 defence, 80 mana and 16% reduced costs. +mana is essentially worthless in pre-hardmode (though it's nice later on to get full value out of super mana potions), and a 16% mana cost reduction probably just translates to a little bit more uptime before having to wait on your mana regen potion to refill you (since pre-hardmode mana potions are really bad). Meteor armour actually lets you do something while waiting (mainly using the space gun/zapinator, which still lets your mana regeneration potion refill you). Even in situations where you have virtually infinite mana (e.g. killing invasions with a celestial magnet equipped), or are using a non-magic weapon while refilling, I'd still prefer the extra damage from meteor.

Once you kill skeletron, you shouldn't exclusively use space gun with the meteor set. Use your other weapons, then switch to the gun when you need to wait on your mana regen potion to refill your mana (note that you need the potion to actually regen while using the space gun, though in boss fights you should always have one and for regular enemies you likely won't run out of mana).

A friend of mine calculated how much downtime/mana sickness penalty you get on average and found that infinite mana was about a 12% increase to your dps on average when you AREN’T using a weapon that doesn’t consume mana during the downtime. Mana economy accessories and armors in general are quite overrated. Just use mana regen potions and the mana hotkey with mana potions.

Influx waver is far too overrated. terra blade is a lot better, especially after the rework.

Last time I checked, Influx Waver's beam deals significantly higher single target DPS than Terra Beam. Moreover, I see no one praising Influx Waver as one of the best Melee weapons or better than Terra Blade. So no, it's not overrated at all.

Still easier to get than praying for a blood moon to occur and that extra 15 dps eventaully adds up in a bossfight

It adds up to about 6% of skeletron prime’s health assuming the fight takes over 2 minutes, which it doesn’t lol just go for the head immediately.
Destroyer, the other boss you’d use it on, is immune to it.

In that case just go straight to the destroyer and get the light disk which is problaby better than both. And trying to focus on prime’s head while his arms are still up is quite annoying.
