    Hive Pack being able to possibly reduce DPS makes me question reality & further grows my hatred for the i-frames system in this game

    I kinda wish we had a variation of the hive pack for hard mode, one that could work with the Wasp Gun among other things, because i remember really enjoying using hive pack with bees knees and sometimes bee gun because it's just really fun to shoot an army of bees at enemies
    Very underappreciated accessory and i wish they kinda change it's immunity frame system to buff it with melees and in general lol

  • @8Kazuja8
    @8Kazuja8 2 วันที่ผ่านมา +13

    A lot of the Expert mode items are super underwhelming tbh, but Hive Pack definitely stands out for its incredibly specific use case. I didn't have the hard numbers but I already suspected the bees would interfere quite significantly with your damage due to the way piercing damage sources work in this game, so I figured it'd only be good if you're banking on bees as your main damage source, which is only realistic if you're spamming beenades on WoF or Skeletron.
    I guess there's not much point in putting work into Expert-exclusive boss drops but it'd be pretty neat if the more obscure pre-HM items could at least get some progression into HM, if they already can't have generically powerful effects like Worm Scarf or Shield.

    • @Juicedbelmont

      Yeah bone glove, mechanical cart, hive pack, shiny stone, and royal slime(spore sack and regal gelatin too kinda even though I’d say they are pretty useful) are so situational they just are worthless 90% of the time
      I feel like a lot of them should be like Lucy where they become stronger with every boss defeated

  • @somethingchill3778

    I think it would be great to have an added effect for the Hive Pack: a double jump functioning the same as the ones from Rocket Boots. It would actually make the player consider going for a bee build for the double jump, since they are in all cases outclassed by other weapons.

  • @kellamyoshikage286
    @kellamyoshikage286 2 วันที่ผ่านมา +16

    Some insight on why a number of weapons get a much smaller DPS gap with a damage build: the bees themselves face a downside from being big, their greater pierce. Piercing projectiles don't apply immunity frames on their last hit, so small bees deal 9 hits per second while large bees only deal 8. Against high defense targets, big bees still give more DPS due to their better damage, but as armor penetration and damage multipliers increase (and especially if defense reaches 0), big bees start losing their edge entirely. A Ruthless Bee Gun with 9% damage bonus or Mythical with 20% damage bonus (Ruthless rounds up damage while Mythical rounds down due to shenanigans, given how often the thing reaches the limit I'd say Ruthless is better) should start to deal more damage without the hive pack than with when fired on a target with 0 defense.
    In practice, big bees and the greater number of bees are useful against Skeletron due to hands and high defense even with necklaces, and better tracking probably helps too. I'd expect a different story against Deerclops, though.

    Does this mean that if in a multiplayer game multiple players use bee focused weapons they could actually be hurting other players' damage due to i frames?

    • @HaveYouHeardOfManedWolves

      Iirc only per-projectile-type (static) immunity frames are shared between players, and maybe not even those

    • @Kepples
      @Kepples  2 วันที่ผ่านมา +13

      Just tested this, and i-frames seem to be separated by player. So as an example if one player uses the Bee Gun with the Hive Pack for example, the other players can still use any of their weapons with no change in damage or issue whatsoever!

    Hive pack sometime not worth and sometime worth.
    For melee against a skeletron, the hive five is really good option but you have to sacrifice one accessory slot for hive pack but still worth it. Same for ranger when using Bees knee against skeletron and beenade against wof if you want safety strategy.
    Unlike bee gun, there's better weapons for it, Demon scythe and gray zapinator are much better and no need to sacrifice one accessory slot for hive pack.
    And for hornet, the 2 Flinx, 2 frog and 1 imp is still the best combo and you also don't need to sacrifice a slot for hive pack.

    The Hive Pack is so good and I don't see why anyone wouldn't like if you're using a bee weapon. It's so good that if you're ever using a bee weapon in hardmode, I would even go as far to say as to replace your emblum with it. Its a nessecary for any bee based weapon.
