Jungle Armor vs Meteor Armor

[SolaR]

Which of the two pre-hm mage armors do you think it the best?

Jungle Armor advantages:

• 1 more defense point
• +Crit Chance
• +Mana

Meteor Armor advantages:

• +Damage
• Space Gun requires no mana

(I'm kind of also making this thread for advice, which of these is the best up until hardmode?)

I use meteor, because the space gun is awesome.

 

[Ezel]

I use Meteor Armor too. Space Gun is very useful for the whole pre-hardmode.

Meteor set is good if, and only if, you plan on having space gun as primary/secondary for mana conservation. Otherwise you can replace the helmet part with Wizard Hat for greater damage(might or might not be worth it, depending on rounding up).

Jungle is OK for longer spam, but the crit chance is probably not good enough to overtake meteor armor in terms of average DPS.

Meteor armor. More damage beats crit, and mana doesn't really matter with the space gun.

definitely Meteor, much easier to get and much more useful in general.
