Question about healer class in Thorium mod

[Ronin Gamer]

So I'm only playing with one other person at the moment, not a full group and I'm doing a mage like build. Based on what I've looked up doing a hybrid build with a healer set is rather hard since you mostly get radiant damage boosted and the rest brought down on most armor sets.

With that in mind, anyone that's tried playing this type of character, is it worth it to play with only two people? Is my damage ruined by this that a bigger group is needed or does the radiant damage do a good enough job for a two person party?

simple dont do mage beause healer armors decrease non-radiant dmg(including modded dmg values such as rogue dmg from clamity) and increase radiant dmg by an equal amout(its % based) but radiant weapons are not weaker you can do all content with them just as fast

but healer is definetely worth it even in 2 players its awesome

The healer class is absolutely god tier- health is hard to come by in terraria for the most part. I find it works especially well with my friends- where most of them don't have the time to get good at the game so they can sit back and focus on healing while I deal the DPS and kite the bosses. I don't recall it being underpowered in combat either- such that you won't be thinking "man, I can't kill this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ slime, where is my DPS" or anything like that.

IIRC I played healer solo once, and can't recall struggling with it either, deals good enough damage.

In other words, if you are playing solo, it works well enough, certainly the worst but not bad still, in a duo, you'd best hope your heal target is good at the game, and anything more than that the benefits are even better. So go right on ahead in a duo, long as you trust your buddy to do the DPS you can't.
