My experience using summoner in pre hard mode ( fun + strength )

A few things to go over :-

1. I was playing master mode but I was in journey mode so grinding foxsparks was way easier . But i just feel really burnt out of journey mode ( I did lot of building ) so now I am doing a regular master mode playthrough ( leaving journey mode where it is ) so I might bump both down

2. I DID MINION MIXING . I want to emphasize this . I was using multiple different ones at the same time I don't remember which I used where exactly . And I personally felt the difference in dmg . The minions just felt better I felt like I was doing more dmg . I didn't do the best possible minion mixing combos tho mainly just for fun.

3. All accessories were warding , normal potions summoning ironskin endurance swiftness I think Regen for a fight or two . The usual . In proper arenas ( except wof I kinda just winged it with campfires )

4. Witch doctor . I won't elaborate .

5. I didn't use any of the sentries except I think it's called flame burst rod ? But I feel like there all pretty decent so yeah nothing special a bit bland but all sentries kinda are.

6. I rated leather vasculash and the corrupt whip low because I just don't see the point of them personally because they only do dmg and are always outclassed ? I was a bit too harsh on the evil biome whips I feel like .

I did rate slime whip higher so I feel like evil biomes ones can be higher.

Because yes for me it's always gonna be cobwhip → snapthorn → meteor → spinal tap

But the jungle isn't a fun place to be in . So progression would be alot more nuanced between cobwhip and snapthorn for most people .

I am playing through a normal world again so if you have any suggestions for weapons lemme know ( of any class ) that are fun ! Its wierd to say but I used the nightsedge for the first time in this run since the rework ( not agaisnt bosses ) but I see the appeal !!
