Weapons & Equip Rebalance Deadly Sphere Staff to be Pre-Plantera

Spoiler: Thread Reminding me of How Bad Pre-Plantera Summoner Is

The Best & Worst Class In Each Progression Tier (With Explanations)

Currently, Summoner has little to no effective weapons against Plantera. Nothing is obtained after all three mechs, not even an accessory. On the other hand, I believe it has more than enough to tackle Golem with Desert Tiger, Morning Star, Kaleidoscope, the entirety of the Pumpkin Moon, etc. Deadly Sphere staff, although not a bad or useless weapon by any means, could work a lot better as a weapon available alongside the Death Sickle. It would also incentivize redoing the solar eclipse pre-Plantera as well. Of course, it and its respective enemy would need a light nerf to fit progression better, but overall I think it would slot in nicely here.

we already have a minion that works against plantera, it's the lack of a Whip to go with it that's the problem. Durendal is not good enough.

I feel there should still be one after every mech is gone instead of a Twins drop.

post-mech is the shortest and smallest tier in the entire game so I don’t think separating it further into post 1 mech and post 3 mechs really makes sense from a balance perspective

Death Sickle, True Night's Edge, everything Chlorophyte, etc.
