Everything with defence or damage, depends on your survivability (you may have crit, actually, but I prefer stable damage). Wings arent necessary, if you have UFO - feel free to replace em with whatever you want. Ninja gear provides good chance to completely evade all damage, so - dont remove it.

About bullets - here I've used luminite ones, but only coz I've ran out of chlorophyte.
This cannon > Celebration, coz of autoaim. You may keep pre-moonlord rifle, actually, but thats not necessary.

Tactics:
Jump into UFO
@
Summon boss/invasion/whatever
@
Fly around with held down lmb
@
Chlorophyte bullets will do all work, and your butt will stay safe and clean

Profit!

You don't need to use the Ninja Gear for everything. You can also play around with some items. But overall what yuki said is pretty solid. imo I would go full damage and ignore def late game for ranger, just using the warm scarf is enough.

I am approaching this from the multiplayer perspective, where I have a full team of people that prevent me from gaining aggro, single-player may require more survivability, but regardless of armor, for the highest damage output, Putrid Scent for Crit and De-Aggro, Eye of Golem for Crit, Ankh shield for Immunities, Hoverboard because the Down+Jump for the fast sideways kiting helps with De-Aggro or fleeing, and the best boots you can get your hands on. Then reforge EVERYTHING to the Lucky prefix. That'll put you just below 50% Crit chance from items alone. Shroomite armor will up that to near 100% in stealth, and most endgame guns have a high base crit that will put it at 100. With Vortex armor, I get 105% crit on my Sniper rifle-gauranteed crits. I also get gauranteed crits with Celebration and Vortex Beater. If you want to maximize for all situations and trust your accuracy enough, venom bullets/arrows have the highest base DPS and do Damage over time, but for bosses like Moon Lord that move a lot, Will end up wasting a lot. I've switched to Chlorophyte bullets, because with the Vortex Beater's 66% Ammo use redux+ Ammo Conservation Potion+Ammo Box buff I only lose about one bullet per seven shots. Phantasm, also multiplies any arrows you shoot.
