Are we looking at notable gear/set bonuses for each weapon? How their best modifier affects them?
Just 2 items I think need major adjustment...
Musket - B
Reason: Fire rate is WAY, WAY, WAY too slow
The Undertaker - A+
Reason: Fire rate is great, damage is good
What puts the Musket there is how early it can be obtained - no bosses even need be defeated, and bombs are all that's strictly necessary. Amazing weapon for how early it's gotten.
Generally the only set bonus I would take into account is the Meteor Armor (unless there are other bonuses that make a significant difference for a weapon).Are we looking at notable gear/set bonuses for each weapon? How their best modifier affects them?
I personally disagree, but I'll happily mark the Undertaker for contention (Musket has been moved since @Xylia posted).Terrarian Legends said:-snip-
Musket can be moved down, I've been convinced. Falcon Blade can be marked for contention if you so desire.Xylia said:-snip-
I agree with the cactus sword. While it is good for keeping enemies at bay, its damage quickly becomes depressingly low.- The flower of fire is worse than... A wooden boomerang and bow ? This weapon can 2/3 shoot anything in the game before hardmode.
- The cactus sword has a rank which is much higher than expected.
- Also I would detail the gem staffs. Ametyst is very slow, auto-fire starts with emerald (which pierces 2 ennemies) and ruby & diamond do higher damage than amber staffs. They can also be acquired much earlier without taking a risky journey inside the underground desert to get an amber staff (which requires a reaver shark or to defeat a boss, both make access to better weapons).
Given that Redstonetam backed you up, I'm happy to move the Flower up and the Cactus Sword down. My logic was how absurdly easy the Cactus Sword is to get and how it eclipses other early-game swords, even the metal swords to some extent; with the Flower, it's difficult to aim, slow moving, high mana cost, etc. compared to the Demon Scythe, Flamelash or whatever else. Though I agree, I was a bit too hard on it.- The flower of fire is worse than... A wooden boomerang and bow ? This weapon can 2/3 shoot anything in the game before hardmode.

Amber Staff, I'm happy to move down.Here are my opinions about the gem staffs :
- Only 3 staffs can be got in the same world (depending on the ores you find).
- They can be separated in 3 tiers : Amethyst/Topaz, Sapphire/Emerald, Ruby/Diamond according to the ores required to craft them.
- I think there's a big gap between sapphire and emerald (autofire and piercing) despite requiring an ore from the same tier.
- The first two are the easiest to acquire but they are too weak.
- The last two are the strongest but their gems are rare to find.
- Emearld and Sapphire are in the middle of everything, not being the strongest staffs nor the hardest to craft.
I would class them in this order : Emerald >= Sapphire > Ruby >= Diamond > Topaz > Amethyst
About Amber, this one is definitely not worth to craft since ruby and diamond are better in every way. Extracting ambers requires mining many fossils and surviving in their place is hard (especially in expert mode). I would place Amber between Diamond and Topaz.
Then suggest what your feel should be changed. If people back you up on them, they'll go into effect.This is so inaccurate...
What parts of it do you think should change? Might as well help it, if it's inaccurate.This is so inaccurate...
This is so inaccurate...
A'ight, marked Waterbolt for contention. I agree with you on the Amazon, having just used it to kill the WoF with relative ease, so I moved it up a notch.Water bolt should be in S rank, it is useful even in hardmode and can be found in the first day. And amazon should be higher, its great, it can be built really early and it has nice damage. And there is more stuff like that.
I believe I put it there because confusion is often counterproductive, but you're absolutely right, it's not nearly as bad as I made it out to be. I'll back you up and move it to B- or so.-Bee Keeper-
