Melee or Shooting

I want to walk through a swarm of enemies and wach them die and their corpes fly away,any weapon that can do this is fine.But I'll probably switch two-handed blades and two-handed guns,dual welding is mainstream.
Also,never shields.

 

Double shields all the way.
With stomp boots. Jump on all the head, block all the attacks.

 

Shooting.
I'm Agent 47 with a AK-U 47 with Noob tube And bayonet

 

that is a tough one, maybe melee.

 

I'd go ranged when exploring new areas, and melee just to hurry through places I've already been. Using melee like this, you only need to worry about enemies that you fail to avoid, and won't have to waste ammo. Theoretically, I'd use melee 75% of the time, but still prefer maximizing my ranged power.

 

From what I've seen you can only use one hand at once, unless it is a two handed item. But there hasn't been much info on this so who knows.

 

I'll stick to assault rifles and sniper rifles ( I hope they are 2-handed , because holding a rifle with 1 hand fails ).

 

It's confirmed that some weapons will be 2-handed, and require both slots, so probably!

 

I'll most likely be a melee person, hopefully they have a Ninjato Katana
Either that or I'll have a small pistol as my secondary... actually that sounds fun.

 

hopefully can dual wield medium ranged weapon with a one handed melee. but maybe im just dreaming of being OP.

 

Bombs.

 

It would make sense that its the right/left mouse button, so if you hit both buttons at once, you get action from both hands, so it should allow you to fire 2 dual wield pistols at once, however you only have one cursor to aim at and the only way to get another aim point is to do something horribly complex to the UI and controls, which would probably not be worth it. Or just have a preset button for firing in both directions or something.

 

Melee, because it sometimes gets the job done quicker and dosen't require any ammo.

 

Well this time around I think they're having regenerating weapons, kinda infinite ammo, just a bit of waiting.
Although I do agree, guns do have a certain charm to them, with the range and rapid fire aspects.

 

I think i like run and shoot in TR still............

 

Neither, gonna play as a distraction and move around like bananas.
I call it 'the art of the Dodge'.

 

I'm neutral.
For some situations melee would be better, and other situations ranged would be better.

 

I think shooting, and melee should be balanced out. Like say melee has it's short range but high dmg and piercing? So it would be useful against tanky enemies, but be less useful against ranged, or flying enemies.

The ranged would have low dmg and possibly slow atk speed, making it less useful against tanky enemies, and small crowds, and more useful on ranged, or flying enemies who have much less def.


personally I always take pref to melee, but I'll take ranged when it's useful

 

Generally I don't like close quarters combat and even less, situations where I can't get an eye on my oppenent at all, so I think I'll have to wait till the game comes out.
In Terraria I was best by far in magic, and since it's sort of a form of ranged, I'll probably go with that when I figured out the game well enough.
I found that in terraria monster combat is definitely best with melee or ranged, where mana potions become required for any magical success at all. So I'll probably stick with the melee type till I have figured out the game well.
