I see someone who has never basked in the glory of Shroomite Armor yet.

For my ranger build, I come packing a set of shroomite gear, my Chlorophyte Shotbow, and Venom Arrows from the Witch Doctor. Combine this with the Eye of the Golem to boost your crit chance, and once in stealth mode your arrows will have over 50% critical chance, each critical hit doing about 150 damage, compounded over 2-3 arrows at once.

In regards to bullet-fed weapons, do not forget the dozens of high-yield craftable bullets like exlposive ammo and Venom Bullets. Most endgame guns like the Venus Magnum will give amazing results. Last and not least, kill Plantera for the grenade launcher, and/or buy a proximity mine launcher from the Cyborg NPC to give you a high-knockback alternative for your ranged setup.

Happy hunting, fellow ranger.
