Alternatives to spectre armor?

[Urapa]

Are there any alternatives for mages in endgame?

Spectral armor?
dafaq?

"Wat iz beter between pre hardmode and hardmode ?"

If you take the hood, your magic power will decrease (-40%), but you can heal as much as you damage your ennemies.
If you want to increase the magic power, better use accessories. (sorcerer emblem, etc...)

Yes spectralarmor: You need Ectoplasma.

Yes Anton you are right.

No no no,
Spectral armor is a console-only mage armor.
Spectre armor is a pc-only mage armor.

Why do you want alternatives?
Go hood if you want hp, go mask if you want damage.

Not saying I need alternatives, I just want to know if they exist. And while I'm at it, what magic weapons would you consider "the best"? Sorry for the perhaps dumb questions, but I hardly play as a mage so I need to gather some info.

Razorpine is almost uncontested for best mage weapon.

Razor typhoon is an aimbot device and bubblegun has noticably higher dps.

Aim should not be a problem and the bubble guns spread takes away a noticable chunk of damage as moving targets will most likely be able to avoid a good deal of the bubbles. One more thing that im not certain on is that i dont believe the bubble gun fires more than one bubble per shot.

Bubblegun fires 3-4 Bubbles per shot and is currently the highest DPS weapon in the game (as of right now) Wear the Hood, Slap on a few emblems (namely Celestial and Sorcerer) and you can easily facetank alot of bosses. If you throw in some magic/celestial cuffs, you have near infinite mana.

@Magnolia The best Mage weapons right now are Razorblade Typhoon, Bubblegun, Razorpine, Blizzard Staff and Golden Shower. GS isn't the most damaging spell but it sets you up for even more damage since it applies Ichor debuff to enemies hit. Razorpine is a decent all around use weapon and Bubblegun is excellent for when you want to kill everything quickly. Typhoon is useful for mowing down common enemies like zombies and gastropods while Blizzard staff rains death from above and doesn't work underground.
