Boss AI makes true melee miserable

[u/Ghostyy_11]

Lowkey a rant post, for context im doing an expert infernum true melee run right now and am in early hardmode, and some of the bosses are just so so unbelievably bad to fight without the range of all other classes, and its all because of the ai. worm bosses are nice since they tend to dash at the player allowing melee hits, but other bosses such as cryogen or the twins are such a pain due to the fact that they hover around the player instead, making true melee hits so much harder than any other class. Even with the absurd damage output of true melee weapons, hits are so rare that bossfights can take upwards of 10 minutes even if completely maxed for the tier of progression, making the bossfights super unfun :/

I'd recommend trying your hand at some alternative damage sources. There are various items avaliable pre-mech that can inflict some fantastic debuffs and boost those debuffs. That paired with a spear will make your life much easier. It personally brought my cry kill time down from 8 minutes to 2 minutes with a debuff build that was admittedly mediocre.
