What should my accessories be for melee?

[Seniӽ]

I'm wondering what I should use for my accessories on my melee character.
I'm using this ATM:
1. Wings
2. YoYo Bag
3. Obsidian Shield (working on the ankh)
4. Boots
5. Power Glove (working on the mech. glove)

I haven't done any serious modifing on them, but I'm trying to get warding/menacing on them.

A celestial shell is always useful. Shark tooth necklaces are handy as well.

Pre-Mechanical Boss(es)

After the Mechanical Bosses only armor and weapon changes are needed.

A Celestial Stone can stack with a Celestial Shell so you could always try running both. I'd also say that a Sharktooth Necklaces stops being useful when other items would provide a bigger boost to damage since it doesn't scale at all. +% items on the other hand scale quite well.

Celestial Stone and Celestial Shells are the obvious first choices, they're amazing.

Knockback can be highly detrimental, so a Shield makes sense. It's too bad they all have nearly useless secondary effects.

If you use a yoyo, you gotta use a yoyo bag.

Wings tend to be necessary for a long while, but the UFO mount can free that accessory slot.

Mechanical Glove is great, just plain strong. If you have one more slot left for damage, you can go for the Fire Gauntlet even though it's not as good as the Mechanical Glove. Destroyer Emblem is also pretty nice.
