what items go good with spectre armor?

[Fumo Bnnuy n Frends]

i finally was able to conjure up enough ectoplasm to make a set of spectre armor (both helmets too, so one can refill health, and the other launches extra projectiles). The problem is i dont know what are the best items to use for it. In terms of weapons and accessories, what would you recommend. Currently i have the pitchfork fireball shooter staff (forgot the name). magic magnet (that book that shoots an orb cloud that does damage), armor with the one that recharges health, ankin shield (obsidian shield + charm thats hard to make/get the items). obsidian horseshoe (no falling damage), running shoes (the very long crafting tree shoes), and ghost wings (works with the armor set). Also twin minions for backup

Razorblade Typhoon from Duke. With the helmet I don't even need to heal unless I'm against multiple bosses in Frost Moon. Also you don't need horseshoe for fall damage when you have wings.

I'm not sure about magic items for Duke, sorry. For the moons, use Spectre Armor with the mask and Razorblade Typhoon. The hood reduces damage too much.

Dude, Razorblade Typhoon is a Duke drop. Stop suggesting it.

As to the OP, it depends on what you're fighting. Some weapons are amazing for large numbers/segmented bosses but are terrible against normal bosses and vice versa. Sounda like you already have some of the best magic weapons (pre-events/duke anyway) but you could try venom staff, leaf blower, heat ray, nettle burst, spectre staff, and wasp gun.

Actually, just look at the magic list and pick one. If it's a hardmode item it probably isn't bad. They all have their little quirks and to me you don't really start getting to a "best" until the events/duke.

As for accessories, anything that boosts either damage or armor works quite well. Reforge all accessories accordingly (warding if you're going armor, menacing if you're going damage.) Obviously you'll want a set of wings regardless and most people like to use both the ankh shield and lightning/frostspark boots in their build (though that one can be removed for another accessory, especially if you use a hoverboard as your "wings" to make up for the lost speed.)

Well, it has been a while since the last time I played a proper mage (my last run I played summoner to try it out and I hadn't played prior to that since before they added the halloween event) but as I said before; what you have is among the best. Particularly if you don't mind buying pots off the wizard and chugging them to spam the fork.

I know it is a Duke drop, that's why I recommended it for Pumpkin/Frost moon.

Hey, if you're still lookin' for an opinion, the Magnet Sphere (Found in the Post-Plantera Dungeon) and the Heat Ray (Drops from ye Golem) are good. Once you inevitably defeat Duke Fishron, the Razorblade Typhoon and Bubble Gun will both be fantastic- though the latter has very little range- so you should look forward to them.

[Bob of Mage]

The Rainbow Gun seems to be okay as a secondary magic weapon. Since you only need to use it every once in a while you can mix it with something more powerful.

[Pato]

If you aren't ready for any of the endgame bosses or events yet... I'd say a Leaf Blower, possibly? It does a resonable amount of damage and fires pretty quickly. With that you could probably defeat Duke FIshron a few times and get the Razorblade Typhoon. In my opinion, weapons with medium or high damage and extremely fast firing rates are the best for spectre armor.

[Drag]

Once you do get into the moons, try and find yourself a razorpine. It's the third best magic weapon, DPS-wise. The bubble gun from His Grace is the best, although it comes at the cost of range, which can become lethal very quickly.

The rainbow gun's a great secondary, especially if you're fighting in a relatively linear area. Shoot it down where the mobs will appear, and they'll commit suicide on your rainbows.

Pre-Duke Fishron and moons? Not sure. I never really used magic until after the moons, and I only use it as an auxilliary to my rapid chaingun and melee.

AW NUTS I FORGOT A BUNCH OF 'EM.

Alright, so the Golden Shower is a must have for Hardmode mages. You've probably already got it, but if you don't, go get the materials for it and get crafting. A Demon Scythe is also a very good choice, as while it isn't as good as a few Hardmode magic weapons, it hits hard enough and can be reforged very cheaply. A Magic Dagger is pretty good, too, as it's cheap to fire and drops relatively often from Mimics. If you have the good fortune to pick them up, a Shadowbeam Staff and an Unholy Trident will prove invaluable, the former for it's nigh infinte piercing and ricochet ability, and the latter for it's incredible damage.

Once you start the Moons, a Razorpine (Frost Moon, from Everscream) or a Bat Scepter (Pumpkin Moon, from Pumpking) is invaluable, both capable of producing rather high DPS and the Bat Scepter having a homing capability. As stated before, if you can beat Fishron, the Razorblade Typhoon and Bubble Gun are truly exceptional additions to any player's arsenal, Mage or no.

i made it up to the golem, tried the fish and died 4 times over. I pretty much rushed through the gamemode with turtle armor, then later upgraded to beetle, but i wanna go mage mainly with the exception of a long ranged/short ranged weapon for last resort purposes. i tried the frost and pumpkin moon already but i suck completely because i cant seem to find the right loadout.
so im restarting from the begging startng with the destroyer, although i beat him several times over, but the other bosses, except plantera keep overpowering me, especially the twins.

really helpful, i do have the golden shower but have to find it amongst my hundreds of chests (im a hoarder and recently just been dumping all items into random chests).
i have more than enough money about 60 platinium with the discount card from the pirate invasions i farmed. im just really low on magical items other than daggers and/or an aqua sceptor or two, plus the items i originally stated.

Well you killed Plantera, right? Just head into the Dungeon and hang out for a little while. After awhile, a Magnet Sphere or two should drop from the various Armored Bones. If you're lucky, one will already have a good modifier.

There's also the Shadowbeam Staff (Necromancers) that I already mentioned, and a couple of other staffs worth telling you about: The Inferno Fork (Diabolists) and the Spectre Staff (Ragged Casters), both of which deal more damage than the Shadowbeam Staff. All 3 drop from various Caster type enemies in the Dungeon, who's names are listed next to the weapon they drop.

Good luck. If you need any help, you know where to find me.
