because it would be cool and give more love to the summoner class, which many have tested and does a lot less dps than other classes, especially melee.
Strange, I've heard another person say that the summoner is one of the highest DPS classes.
Shyguymask has done many different videos explaining that summoner has the worst DPS of all classes, and that melee builds do far more DPS than it immensely.
This is just an idea, it would be cool to get a whip of 9 tails as a zenith whip, using the leather whip, this proposed Terra whip, Morning Star, Dark Harvest, Kaleidoscope, the Stardust whip, the Moon Lord whip, the Duke whip, and the Cool Whip. The Terra whip would be obtainable post-mechs like the old Terrablade and would fill the gap whip-wise between premech and post-Plantera since we have many great whips after Plantera.
"Especially"? Are you serious?
Many other people have done DPS tests comparing summoner to other classes, and even with whip stacking. for example. shyguymask's dps of other classes video (
that could work too, i was just putting this out there because of how similar it is to mele
idk i was just theorizing and suggesting
maybe a terraprisma, blade staff, rainbow crystal staff, bhs, and luminite gets a mini tblade that attacks fast and deals a lot of damage
"Many other people" also conducted DPS tests and called the summoner the most powerful class. In general, after the update 1.4.0.1 began a wave of hype around the class summoner, for many this class became a favorite, which gradually subsided and finally subsided after the warrior buff in 1.4.4.
If a youtuber says something, he is far from necessarily saying absolutely objective and correct information. Passing Terraria for a summoner for me was absolutely no less comfortable than for any other class.
Only due to the fact that True Melee weapons were used for this. At close range, the player should do more damage, it makes sense. Especially on legendary it's very difficult (heck, even the Wall of Flesh was the hardest to kill for me playing melee, because the need to stay extremely close to it made the battle extremely difficult despite the power of Night's Edge).
Even with this, it has changed over the past few years since then, as many weapons received buffs and nerfs throughout 1.4.0.1 to 1.4.4.9
see above statement
while yes, the information of one youtuber is to be taken lightly (as not everything on the internet is correct and true), this YouTuber often does speedkills and dps tests of summoner and hybrid classes, and is well known for being a summoner enthusiast. several others (as I said) have done similar tests, and found that pure summoner still is the weakest class in terms of DPS
So? They should do more damage, even melee weapons without True Melee capabilities still do much better in most scenarios.
Yes, I have tried legendary as well and both melee and summoner struggle, with melee requiring to get close and summoner only surviving a small handful of hits, making it even less dps to prevent from dying to the WoF and other bosses. even in non-legendary mode it usually takes the longest time to kill due to only 2ish summons (vampire frog with platforms and imps as a supplement), and having to heavily rely on whips to get close and personal and damage the WoF
Well, actually even yes, in a normal game situation the summoner stays almost as close as the warrior. But I found it much harder to kill the Wall of Flesh on the warrior, because with the right tactics the summoner keeps a huge distance from the Wall of Flesh, is extremely efficient at disarming imps and has an acceptable DPS throughout the battle, while the warrior has a choice between having a very high DPS but staying literally at point-blank range, or having a low DPS but still staying close to it.
No.
The same amount of people still really like the summoner class.
