Warding or menacing on accessories for each class in terraria?

menacing if you're winning fights, warding if you're dying in them. that's honestly most of the decision. menacing is +4% damage per accessory, warding is +4 defense. early hardmode and the mech bosses are where a few warding pay off. once your armour and healing are sorted most people swap back to full menacing. lucky is fine on a build that already crits a lot, and arcane is for mages who keep running out of mana, but neither usually beats menacing.
