Re-Balancing

[Aidanimalz]

So terraria has done a great job balancing all the variation weapons between corruption and crison but the only thing is their mimics. the magic weapon from the crimson is a very up close life drain weapon which at its bests lets you regen health but the corruption is the clinger staff which summons a wall and that seems better than minimal amout of life regen.

and second i thing the dungeon chests in hardmode should be openable after 1-2- or 3 mechanical bosses have been defeated( a nuber of your choosing) because if you can get them after plantera their only good for the dungeon and maybe the cultists not anything else other than farming things. I have the crimson key and ive seen the vampire knives they just dont seem useful for things above the cultists and i cant get to them.

Plantera is trivial if you have biome chest weapons, so they can't make them available until after.

But yes, from what I hear the Life Drain is pretty awful while some of the other mimic variation weapons are exceptionally powerful.

A little balancing would be good, though this is true for a *lot* more than just mimic variation loot.

Life drain was a big let down when I got it but it'd be insane if it worked like spectre armor (hood)'s spell life steal.

does it stack with the spectre life drain too?

from wht i understand it doesnt. if it did, tht probably would be just the balance it needs

Last I checked it didn't but even if they change it and it still doesn't it'd be a necessity on almost anyone because you could just hit a bunch of enemies in a group and get you're health back extremely quickly.

They jsut need to rework the weapon in general

[Aidanimalz]

yea. but the thing with the chests is that i got the crimson key from a crimson monster the first day of hardmode all im saying is let it be opened after one two or threee bossess are killes

I still use Vampire Knives endgame and I have all the gear. It is a fantastic life regen, even without a melee set. Having it before Plantera would make those bosses a complete joke.

Having the rainbow gun against the destroyer would also be ridiculous. It melts him to nothing.

I use vampire knive for the pilars.
