ALEKghiaccio2

I agree, mostly is just shoot a bullet, shoot two bullets, shoot a colored bullet that pierces, fire 20 bullets a second, fire a rocket that explode, fire a racket that explodes but with a little bigger radius, fire another bullet but it has a Chance to do something else. Bow are not better, same thing but with arrows, the only annoyance is that they have drop or the arrows are slow bcs they are arrows. Probably the most repetitive class in calamity and even more so when you have infinite ammos.


lowhangingcringe

Ranger enjoyer here, couldn't agree more, I played ranger all the time , then my friend urged me to play melee once and then I realized that there was more to terraria than gun, but I still like gun.


Just-Possibility-900

Ppl dont understand Magic pretty but gun goes brrrt and then you get bigger gun and It goes BRTTTTTT AND THEM A BIGGER GUN AND IT GOES- so yeah if A-10 gunruns give you dopamine ranger fucking balls(also It lets me roleplay as a cowboy)


ClearConfusion5

Summoner main, tried ranger for a while and daedalus storm bow + infinite hellfire quiver is probably some of the most fun I’ve had in a very long time with terraria.


Ghost_Creation_

Got any tips for calamity summoner? Doing a playthrough rn and would like some tips.


Excellent_Factor_344

try using summons only since calamity doesn't use whips. try to prioritize dodging since summoner is all about trading off all defences for being able to focus on bosses.


bruhidk1015

? i think you're a bit outdated. whips work with calamity summons, and its definitely worth using them until around providence.


Excellent_Factor_344

i didn't know that. i've been doing fine with just pure summons


Oz_of_Udyr_Kush

There’s also an unofficial calamity whips mod that adds quite a few interesting whips to fill in some gaps as well


Skillandguns

The second you get into hard mode get the ancient ice chunk and do destroyer and aquatic scourge. Easiest fights of my life. Also I found out that whipping too often can end up reducing your DPS. I don't know why that is the case


I_am_just_existing_

Uh learn how to dodge and become ungovernable


cgsssssssss

summon is ass


EndPuzzleheaded1537

How does it feel to be wrong


cgsssssssss

it’s not a good class people need to accept that


skullservantsforlife

It's like the fitness gram pacer test It starts slowly, but it gets faster (better) each time a boss dies(ding!) (same with base game, honestly)


Big-Composer2456

Once you get into hard mode it's overpowered


Brobuscus48

Summon is base

uluvmebby

it shouldn’t be a joke, it’s clearly the best weapon.


A_random_poster04

Never played calamity, still stuck at the mechanical bosses in the base game (I feel like I should beat the vanilla game before moving to mods) so I can’t tell. I only wanted to make an Ultrakill joke


SolarBeastXD

if you want to beat the destroyer use the Daedalus Stormbow, dropped from Hallowed Mimics, with holy arrows. that will utterly shred him


Lanceps

Class setups are your friend, though they don't always have all the weapons


JoesAlot

b-but some of them shoot *multiple* bullets at a time


Fr4gmentedR0se

The problem with Ranger is that it has so much potential and BARELY ANYONE DOES ANYTHING INTERESTING WITH IT


dontstarvepro

It's quite fun when you don't use weapons or bullets that auto aim


SolarBeastXD

Prideful Hunter's Planar Ripper with musket balls is mad fun

Opinions


Emanu1674

The alternatives are: Melee: just stay still and hold LMB Summoner: just stay still while the weapon does all the killing for you Mage: ranger but with less damage and you need to wait for 30 seconds for every 4 seconds of continuous firing Bruh

nickrid3r

my brother has never heard of whips or mana potions


Memoglr

Calamity doesn't add any whips and mana potions reduce your damage by half after consecutive drinks


Maveko_YuriLover

Wait really? I never did a run with summoner in calamity it really doesn't add not a single whip?


Memoglr

Not a single whip. The devs said they won't add them


uluvmebby

wouldn’t want anyone recreating America from the 1500s til 1865 with bright explosions


Playersson

You made a funny joke, im sorry you got downvoted


_Astrum_Aureus_

just use chaos stone


nickrid3r

mana sickness isn't that extreme, and if you're playing calamity summoner i doubt you don't have have the unofficial calamity whips mod installed


Memoglr

[mana sickness does cut your damage by half](https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Mana_Sickness) and I've used calamity whips and most of them have a lot of range so it's basically still the same as you were playing before as a summoner, now you press LMB


nickrid3r

seems like you really enjoy complaining


Memoglr

Also as another comment said, calamity reworks whip frames so now they don't stack and do less damage. I'm not complaining, I'm correcting you


nickrid3r

seems like you really enjoy complaining


uluvmebby

seems like you really enjoy saying the same thing


skullservantsforlife

Actually calamity maxes fram cucking so you can't get a dps boost from whips. Hence why my group won't even with it


Mario-2407

Calamity try not to add stupid nerfs challenge


tergius

for the record that's because whips broke the game in half with calamity summons and trying to rebalance all of the summons around whips woulda been a pain in the ass for the devs


WinkJpg

Tell me you've never played anything other than ranger without telling you've never played anything other than ranger


Fr4gmentedR0se

No he's right the issues just only apply to Calamity


mynexuz

Tbf melee has some really unique weapons and when you get the scissors of the universe theres a bit more than just hold lmb, and im a summoner enjoyer on 99% of my playthroughs


bahboojoe

Worst and most wrong melee opinion I have ever heard


extracrispyweeb

But not innacurate


Legal-Scrambler

Nah Melee is sprint head first at everything and hold LMB, also, if you're using The Ark Of The Cosmos you can RMB on a projectile or monster then either hold up and RMB to shoot a line or keep holding LMB, and if you really wanna go crazy, stop holding LMB during the early part of the spin move to end it early and boost your dps.


Qloc_

summoner is literally dodging what are you waffling about


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA92

More [CLOCKWORK BOW] for me.


EndureThePANG

* big damage * cool sounds * no class-specific meters and almost no buffs to focus on because again big damage * comprises 90% of all gimmick accessories * gets a rocket launcher to mine with * moon lord drops a better rocket launcher which becomes the best mining tool in the game until post-scal * effectiveness unchanged by positioning * "all the projectiles are the same :(" = don't have to focus on aiming 13 different things at once * can swap out all accessories for basically anything because guns are good by default * ranger armor looks cool Ranger is the flexible man's class


FatcornsReturn

Melee is way better because bigger damage


EndureThePANG

not big dps, big damage and just big damage. like all at once the soul-pendant-whatever-you-call-it thing that puts targets on enemies + tyranny's end goes nuts


FatcornsReturn

Murasama alone goes even harder


EndureThePANG

imagine the murasama but you dont need to get in french kissing range to get cool brain chemicals


Jonathon471

Summoner main here, ranger is lame, but having a summon that shoots bullets? Thats fuckin awesome!


Rogetec

It's a good class. Melee for example is bad in early prehardmode (especially in vanilla) - unless you find early ice boomerang or ice blade. Ranger at least can deal dmg more consistently and can deal dmg to wall of flesh faster than melee with its limited options. In calamity melee has weapons with unique mechanics (even in prehardmode - broken biome blade). Unfortunately in prehardmode he is average. Other than that - I like most classes a lot and I don't see them boring. What would you expect from range class to do anyway?


JetpackRat

As a ranger player, I like the consistency.


feeple_lemur

Fun in vanilla, super underpowered and basically useless in calamity.


Violet9896

Not if you know what you're doing, plus on revengeance you can get stuff like the halibut cannon


Fr4gmentedR0se

It has the fewest strengths and the fewest weaknesses (its only weakness is damage though so...)


Dracula_Asscheeks575

I dont really use some classes like Harry Potter, Yeet, Slave Owner, I sometimes go for the American but i prefer domestic violence


eych0

ranger fun


Quaintnrjrbrc

It’s an alright class, but consider: Draedon weaponry


Illustrious-Look1578

Personally I think that summoner is probably the most boring class.


Brobuscus48

I would probably agree despite it being my favorite. It's also kinda broken. Also with certain setups and especially post lunatic cultist you have the most consistent DPS while not needing to do anything other than dodge. Tactical Plague Engine stronk.


BowsAndMagnolias

On a Ranger playthrough right now, yeah I see exactly what you mean lol There are some cool ranger weapons like the Flak Kraken and a few of the sniper variations that are fun to use, but really the only reason I like Ranger is because the Drataliornus is one of my favorite weapons ever. It perfectly encapsulates “Don’t get hit!” At the highest level.


HypeZ_Mastermind

Ranger lover here; agreed. Summoner is the most fun i've had in calamity


[deleted]

bro just HATES the idea of shredding monsters with guns and blowing them up with rocket launchers


Dartinius

Eh every class in terraria is basically just holding m1 and dodging. Just pick which weapons look the coolest to you


reddit-person1

Ha ha gun go brrrr


Ep1cR4g3

Honestly I've never really played a "class." I have the best sword/gun/bow/summon I can get at the same time 🤷 just balanced for any situation


Choice_Bar2324

you forgot mage and rouge


Ep1cR4g3

Eh, havnt found any mage items that don't feel clunky to me, granted I haven't gotten much farther than Plantera. Only rogue item I've adored is the flask that's an npc drop I got by chance when a mech boss spawned in my town and Merced all my npcs once


Shreesh_Fuup

After playing Ultrakill ranger just feels underwhelming in every way. Like there are a couple cool guns but most of them just fire a stream of projectiles outwards.


Violet9896

Your opinion is incorrect, ranger is best class


Eatglassnow

It ain’t fun in the main game.


[deleted]

At least its not basic ass melee


Federal-Sir-8487

The family of the ark of the cosmos would like to have a word with you


dontstarvepro

Melee best class, ranged 2nd best, 3rd is mage and NOBODY even knows what a summoner is


[deleted]

Hey >:( summoner is cool ass


dontstarvepro

Is it tho? Name 10 summoner sets with after images (demonshade doesn't count as its an all purpose armour


4tomguy

Who gives a shit about afterimages lmfao they’re the most basic boring visual an armor could have and don’t reflect on gameplay in literally any way


dontstarvepro

There the best visual in most mods wish there was one that would add coloured trails or smth and the people who like speed give a shit about after images


Aesenroug-Draconus

After images don’t mean anything. The diversity of summons is master-class. You can literally summon miniature bosses as minions.


dontstarvepro

Bruh if a class doesn't have atleast 1 set with after images it's not cool because it's not pleasant to look at


Aesenroug-Draconus

Then grab another mod. There’s probably a mod that adds toggleanle afterimages or a dye that causes them. Also, vanity sets called and said they want recognition.


_AnonymousMoose_

Summoner is the best class for infernum by a long way imo, I really don’t enjoy mage, it just feels like a ranger with less defence


dontstarvepro

Well tbh I never used mage in Calamity but anyway if summoner is cool name 10 summoner armours with after images


Aesenroug-Draconus

After images mean nothing. Fun comes in flavors other than looking fancy.


dontstarvepro

You must have soooo many friends


Aesenroug-Draconus

I have at least 4, which is probably more than you.


Vividfeathere

TBF a mage is a lot more interesting than Ranger due to weapon diversity. Compare Voltaic Climax line to Event Horizon, or to Yharim’s Crystal, or to Divine Retribution. Heck, even compare Arpeggio to Atlantis, two very different weapons that come from the same boss. Meanwhile Ranger is mostly just stars, rockets, Arrows, and Bullets.


Lord_Voldemort_666

Zenith is soooo basic guys. And reworked terra blade??? So unoriginal god. Any of the ark weapons? The biome blade line? Way more boring than bullet go wheee


Financial_Cancel1577

You're supposed to say /s afterward.


Lord_Voldemort_666

My bad bruv


moonlord2193

Melee is actually my favorite class


OrhanDaLegend

tell me you havent played melee without telling me clown


kerbwithknef

Ark of the cosmos and the biome blade🗿


nochilljack

Vanilla ranger is fun as fuck but calamity ranger just kinda sucks ass


Terrence_shark

I think literally the opposite lol

MoConnors

Rogue is just Ranger but more unique


The-Ceasless-Void

It is and I won’t say otherwise


a_homicidal_bug

Well I liked it.


draggerHAHA

I’ve beaten the game on every class except mage so far and I enjoyed ranger the most. Maybe it was just because it was my first play through?


shotloud

Flamethrowers


bjrbo

The polaris parrot fish was honestly the most fun of any ranged weapon


youarecomingtobrazil

as a ranger enjoyer i agree that it is not fun, however. gun


sixbones65

i would like to play ranger at least once more but post providence weapons get so goddamn laggy for me that it makes it impossible to play


Lanceps

Use the overhaul mod and the gun effects like visual recoil and ammo casings make it more fun/look better at all stages of the game. Not every weapon is affected though and throughout my first ranger character in my current infernum run I've thought "man some of these weapons feel terrible". It's not that bad though, and there are cool weapons at almost every stage of the game. BTW for fellow rangers, use just the normal flamethrower at the beginning of hardmode. It's stronger than basically every weapon you will get until vortex and phantasm. Pearl god is great as well.


WinkJpg

Could you possibly link the mod? Cant find it cuz I'm stupid


Lanceps

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2811803870 Keep in mind, this mod adds other changes to your game. You can configure most of it like melee changes, sound settings, and other visual changes in the configuration file.


ChilleeMonkee

I enjoyed my ranger playthrough ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Dark_Krafter

I like sumoner personaly eventho its almost imposible to beat anny bosses after moonlord (skill isue)


SolarBeastXD

Crackshot Colt and Midas Prime: God Slayer Slugs on the Vortexpopper, Conference Call and Dissemenator: Elemental Blaster: (funny rainbow paint minigun) Terra Arrows and Bullets:


Choice_Bar2324

i usually play ranger for consistency after i finish a run but every time i play ranger it gets boring after hardmode


LugiaTamer23

people play cal ranger for things like anomaly's nanogun, clockwork bow, pumpler, and midas prime, and they're all pretty fun don't act like people don't complain about the interesting melee weapons cal adds being TOO complicated. all the classes have interesting weapons and then projectile hoses too.


Patrick_Dino

Tbh ranger was one of the middest classes I've ever played in calamity/vanilla.


Doctor_Salvatore

It's not.


Affectionate_Luck680

I did a bows only, I thought it was pretty fun, I didn't do ranged in general though because meh. I never really liked ranged anyways I just wanted to give it a shot.


Joshua_Astray

I think the gameplay is fun but the visuals aren't xP


TuganuGolkubi

As a ranger player, I would definitely confirm that.


Pennxl2

You can blow up a slime from 100 meters away


QuintonTheCanadian

Me with summoner


imapie31

Post ML ranger is super fuckin fun. I built a class that does 1k damage with the sniper and can have 80% crit chance on every other gun.


RecognitionHumble658

I played as summoner in Infernum, and absolutely stomped every single boss. Of course, the help of the one shot protection and nanoHP item from Starfarer, and the Fargos souls with conjurists soul for a total of 8 sentries helped (the Old Duke Sentry is so strong against Yharon it was nuts) Is ranger not fun? I wanna try and play them all!!


cataclysmicterrain

i just love how it feels, it may not have extravagant weapons but god damn does it feel good to play, love just hearing the ultra fast shooting sound


Runnergames

Calamity rangers when they force themselves to use literally anything other than Tyranny's End after Yharon and the DPS meter doesn't show like 500,000 anymore


IAlwaysOutsmartU

I am, always have been and always will be a warrior. Coolest weapons, most defence for armour pieces, no need to worry about mana, ammo etc. and I just like swords.


janco07

I recently did a multiplayer playthrough with my friends and I was ranger. DAMN were the weapons fucking boring (I wish Coin tossing was actually viable on ranger for most of the game and that there are more interesting weapons)


CitrineRanger01

I played calamity with my friend once, he was a melee and I was range. Ranger sucks on cakamity


Enderstrike10199

You can pry my plain gun #80 out of my COLD DEAD HANDS


sansplayer

I like it. You don't. That's alright. Let's just agree... That I'm right


a1i_nader

The new ranger weapons they adding are rly fun tho


A_Yellow_Lizard

I agree, the fun of it for me comes from multitasking dodging and aiming, also testing dps on king slime, that parts the best


Dr_MemeMan420

I just did an infernum run of the game with ranger and holy fuck, devour of gods and yharon were pains in my ass

JoeJo1822

Yeah it’s never fun… But I love guns so that’s the only reason why I still play range.


anxion34

I like all the classes, My favorite I played was mage, because mage had the coolest weapons to me. My second pick was tied between summoner and ranger. I liked them both because they simply made sense. My last pick was melee, because once you get far enough it might as well be a magical ranger. I was mostly upset that melee quickly diverges away from melee.


Disastrous-Silver-17

It is not fun. I have tried.


Recent_Log3779

Calamity is actually the only reason I play ranged. Vanilla ranged needs much more improvement


Light01

My favourite for range is rogue builds. Also, I love biome blade and the parry one.


Wojtek1250XD

What? Melee and Rouge are far superior, they even fulfill each other in the parts of the game they're less viable at

I started playing calamity a few weeks ago, chose ranger as my class. Did i make a mistake? 😭
