Terrarian
Everyone has their own preferred setup in this game. You use what you like, and it makes perfect sense to you. Then you read somebody else's wildly different setup, and all you can think is "How could you possibly stand that?!" So, what gets that response from you?
Warning: This thread may make you realize that you are the oddball.
Here are a few that get a "DOES NOT COMPUTE" from me:
1. Playing a PURE class (melee, ranged, or magic)
Terraria doesn't really punish you for being a jack of all trades, so I usually find it advantageous to carry around a good weapon from each type. I usually have a sword as a general-purpose killamajig, with a ranged weapon for dangerous stuff and some kind of magic support.
2. Focusing on pure magic in particular.
Due to how quickly mana seems to run out, I've always considered magic to be highly unreliable. The default "use mana potion" key seems awkward to reach for, and I never liked the idea of having to use up an accessory slot just to have them be auto-used. Kind of dumb reasons, yes, but it's probably from my experience using mostly jack-of-all-trades characters.
3. Never using permanent light sources when exploring.
I like to always know where I've been, without having to rely on the map. Seeing without having some floaty minion obscure my view or having to constantly swing a glowing weapon seems quite practical to me.
4. Abandoning any form of speed boots once wings are acquired.
I get that you can reach full speed in-flight, but to me the default is still always on the ground. Flying in spaces just barely tall enough to walk in will forever seem weird to me.
