It’s early game is ok-ish but from queen bee onwards it’s a very strong class for the rest of the game and is never the weakest after that. You could even go as far as saying it’s the second best class at the game because there are several times where it beats summoner and or melee.
Other than the mana potions point, yeah this is basically fully accurate, mages early game is very bad. Your only decent options are thunder zapper (none of the gem staffs are really worth it either the exception of maybe the amber staff (but if you’re in the underground desert anyway just grab a thunder zapper)) or go all the way to hell and grind for a demon scythe. Compared to every other class it’s BAD.

Yea I agree
yeah that's right
Terraria
Yes I agree but mages become surprisingly powerful after beating Queen bee after acquiring the shield of Cthulhu to counter the dashes of queen bee
yeah no mana and no gear til after brain aka meteors and mid items til after skeletron
Mags is long overdue for a buff
They gonna fix this soon with day bloom magic weapon
You don't buy mana potions, you just stock up over time
vilethorn, waterbolt, demon scythe, thunder zapper are all accessible pre-boss. so is jungle armor!
Mage armor is the tankiest In Early
Pre hard mode

You know youd be surprised but this is exactly what they said ab summoner prebuff
Genuinely doesn't notice this at all,played mage a few times,and most world it's the class i choose, And only have a few world
when you say this shi to mage players they say "but summoner has no whips at the start" but with the new update (cobwhip) they are completely wrong.
— really mad Summoner player
