Especially if written by cuddly grannies . <| sep |> I used yoyo ' s one run to get a feel for them . They are good choices , but wouldn ' t say I felt like I had to use them to progress . Shadowflame knives are available at the start of hardmode too and I think compare well to amorak . Gives you range , good aoe , and damage for the mech bosses . Love me some fetid baquas . whatever to farm plantera . Nothing like standing your ground and DPS racing her . If they finally fixed expert seedler drop I would farm for that as it is a very strong weapon for most things you need to do in hardmode . The patch you could fish seedler up was my easiest expert melee run ever . I ' m lazy , so I love scourge of the corruptor . The rest of the end game melee weapons don ' t really amp up DPS with melee gear , so usually by end game I leaning hard on summoner melee hybrid .
