So....about Fetid Baghnakhs

[Guywars]

Aren't they really really OP?
That attack Speed is just insane, even if they have short range, i can just tank everything with my Turtle armor, i'm at nearly 100 defense.
Plantera, Skeletron Prime and The Twins have been a piece of cake with this weapon (and we're on Expert).

And normal mobs aren't even a thing anymore, anything that has less than 5000 health gets destroyed in 2 seconds.

This weapon has really high damage, especially when you get it really early on hardmode, tho it's not anywhere near OP I would say. You have to literally stand so close to the target that you take damage from it while swinging the weapon, so you kinda sacrifice your health to do damage.

Depends, they still have a range, with normal mobs it's more than enough to slaughter them all.
With bosses yeah you will take damage most of the times but you can still mitigate it a lot with their range, hearts, potions, plus the Turtle Armor great tankiness.
Idk i think that the only bosses that might be hard to deal with these weapons are Fishron and The Moon Lord.
Like, slaughtering the Pillars' mobs should be a piece of cake with this thing, we'll see.

The Fetid Baghnakhs are indeed very powerful. But they lack the range. Try bashing, say, the Frost Moon with them; you'll get nowhere.

However, the Frost Moon is lategame and the Fetid B's are early Hardmode, so they're definitely a weapon worth using.

EDIT: Oh, on Expert you'll be shredded against the Pillars. You need things that attack at a range. Have fun with 150-dmg shotguns in the Vortex Pillar!
