Terraria max melee speed is ridiculous...

Terraria max melee speed is ridiculous... Melee Attack Speed. With so many different ways to build your character in Terraria 1.4.4, it's no surprise that some angles can present the player with very interesting ways of becoming op. Today we look at a fully attack speed based setup that combined with certain weapons, can make for some hilariously busted dps and visuals. If you haven't already, give this setup a go as its an absolute blast!

With higher attack speeds, yoyos get a buff in their acceleration, velocity, and range. In older versions of Terraria, some yoyos could even glitch out if total attack speed was high enough, making them useless.

[@Human..Being...]

Every time I hear "older versions of Terraria" I think of 1.1, when yoyos didn't even exist. My first 1.4 experience was 1.4.2, so the Empress of Light was around, but on PS3 I still am on 1.3, before the Moon Lord existed.

[@Anon24052]

@@Human..Being...he PS3 version’s last update was equivalent to 1.2.4 IIRC. Moon Lord came around in 1.3, and it’s the same for yoyos.

@@Anon24052 That actually just cleared up the misunderstanding on my part about BironGaming's video about Modded Zenith Weapons against all bosses... In 1.3, which really threw me for a loop.

[@Wayrail]

This is what i love about terraria and it's armour, accessories and weapons. you don't have to always go for a linear upgrade path, rather trying out some wacky combinations involving the maxing out of certain abilities. stuff like melee speed, movement speed, weapon class damage, defence, damage reduction, dodge chance, and regeneration. usually, I sacrifice one or two accessories for important mobility like wings but it's still not that far from maximum potential! and I can't lie, juggling enemies with a max melee speed build is certainly a satisfying experience!

[@tysonvienneau1830]

You can also forgo all movement and defensive accessories for mounts that grant infinite flight like the witch's broom. I literally did that be slapping all the summoner damage I could to fight the daytime empress

[@Wayrail]

@@tysonvienneau1830 Right on the money! i'm not so acquainted with using mounts as a complete replacement for mobility, but i certainly like using some of them like the slime mount and the basilisk!

[@Human..Being...]

@@Wayrail As a complete Summoner, I have all 7 accessories used for Damage, Minions, and Sentries. My Celestial Starboard and Terraspark Boots are on my Warrior Loadout, because having a Rod of Harmony and Witch's Broomstick is a okay substitute that's justified by 10 minions and 4 Sentries with a 285% damage without food or potions.

you can actually increase melee speed even more with "whip stacking" effects with the snapthorn, durendal and dark harvest to apply their buffs of jungle's fury for 20% more speed, durendal's blessing for 35% more speed and harvest time for 50% more melee speed for a big boy number of 105% more melee speed, incredible

[@peterpumpkineater6928]

You know dps is the highest when mixing damage and speed equally? Think of it mathematically. Either you have +50% damage or +50% speed. Both options increase dps by 50%. But if you had +25% damage AND +25% speed, then you would achieve greater dps. The calculations go like that: 1.25*1.25 ≈ 1.56% That is +56% dps. Another mathematical evidence: x(speed), y(damage), n(some random number), z(highest possible number) x + y = n x * y = z z = (n/2)^2 Which means: x = y All I’m saying is that a cube is the shape of all the cuboids that has the highest volume(dps)/length(used boosts in speed/damage/crit). It does that by having all sides same long. This rule can also be applied to speed, damage and crit chance. Having all these three stats balanced in the sweet spot is the key to massive dps

[@T_Trist]

I've tested to maximize melee speed on the terrablade before the 1.4.4 update and that was my favorite weapon. The old projectile animation was so satisfying even if the new one is cool too. Not hard tested yet but my first impression with this build 100% (6x4%=+24% bonus) melee speed boost "from the accessories random modifiers" is not the better damage deal. It's better i guess to find a compromise with the criticals damages bonus at a certain point.

[@skyfallprime7977]

I like the volume analogy there.

[@damnthisisabadname]

Due to how melee speed rounds usetime, the ratio is usually vastly different

[@peterpumpkineater6928]

@@damnthisisabadname that’s right. But that doesn’t impact my theory neither in a negative or positive way since this rounding can lead to benefits and losses in dps. Of course you could dive deeper in the weapon stats and round yourself to look what combination leads to highest dps. But for casual players this even splitting of the stats is the way to go

Personally I use a mix of Violent and Lucky modifiers on my accessories as my belief is that attack speed makes higher critical rate so much better. My accessories would be Warrior Emblem, Fire Gauntlet, Mechanical Glove, Celestial Shell, and Eye of the Golem. On expert and master I include the Destroyer Emblem and either the Avenger Emblem or the Power Glove. This was my setup before the Zenith came into the picture, and it has served me well as a boss destroyer. Full effectiveness comes from close range swinging with your blade rather than the projectile it might have
