Terraria - A Simple Class Setup Guide

With dozens of armor sets and hundreds of combinations; class setups in Terraria can easily be confusing. PingRite is here to make everything easier!
Looking up a simple Terraria class setup guide can quickly become overwhelming when even the official game Wikipedia immediately overloads the player with information. The community has done a great job separating some of the most important pieces of information into distinct categories, pre-bosses, pre-hardmode, and pre-mechs, but to completely new players this all means absolutely nothing.
Something to establish very quickly that should also make things clear to new players, is that while there aren't true "classes" as you would choose in other medieval fantasy RPGs, the community has separated the armor sets and weapons into distinct categories that align more with their use-case of a "class." As an example, if a helmet were to give a massive bonus to damage when using a bow, it was deemed part of the "Ranged" class by the community when creating the Wikipedia. We'll be using this same terminology here, as it allows players to define themselves as a playstyle in the Terraria world.
