Terraria class guide for a first full playthrough

First time going all the way to Moon Lord. Trying to pick a class and stick with it. Which one is the most forgiving for a beginner, and do you need to swap gear a lot between bosses?

ranged is the easiest first run. bows and guns show up early and you hit things from a safe distance. melee is the tankiest, magic hits hard but your defence is low and you're always watching mana, and summoner is the weakest early. save that one for a second playthrough. you don't have to commit on day one either. mix whatever drops until hardmode, then pick one and build armor and accessories around it. that's where specialising actually pays off.
