Pre-Plantera Summoning Build

[CiceroLelouch<3]

What are good summoning gear/ items pre-Plantera. Im having difficulties getting past the bosses alone.
Mods-Thorium, Calamity, Tremors.

There isn't a huge selection pre-Plantera; Spider Armor is probably your only real option for pure Summoner.

If you're OK with hybrid sets, Forbidden Armor is a pretty nice Summoner/Sorcerer set. The sand tornadoes it lets you call are pretty strong too.

The Dungeon Defender sets are four other Summoner hybrid sets that focus on Sentries rather than Minions.

If a boss gives you trouble, use a lot of buff potions.

[!?!]

There are none in thorium and tremor, all you get is that corrupted staff and that's it.
Vanilla game has nothing too, no idea about calamity.

Thanks your the advice.
Im already using the spider armor and have a bunch of items increasing the damage and a few sentry staves.

Currently im using the spider staff because the pirate one is alittle underwhealming since they have to be on the ground to do anything and mostly all bosses arent.

I do have a Waifu in a bottle which does good damage and summons a sand gaurdian but i can only use the one and im not sure how it will hold up to 6 spiderlings.

Currently sitting at 67% bonus to summon damage.
