Chasing them down with a sword is annoying, and they are hard as heck to hit with a bow or laser!

Does anybody have any tips or tricks?
 
From what I've seen the lighting and fire wand works really well to combat them but you have to research them.
 
You can always just build a small house around the node with high flux and kill them there. If they can't escape, they are not so tough to kill.
 
I haven't located the node yet, I think it's burried underground. Time to make another compass as the goggles took the one I had and a second one I had to make..
 
The lightning wand is my new best friend! Sure it doesn't do massive damage but it makes me laugh everytime I electrocute a mob. Seems to have a lot of shots in it too, I've been using it for a couple of days and it is only down to half charge.
 
I've grown a small node in my base and surrounded it in a room with a single iron door. I've found that many (if not all) of the wisps that spawn as a result of too much flux end up in that room.

As for killing them, if they are in a combined space like that, a power II bow seems to 2 or 1 shot most of them.
 
Or you can build a fishtank over the node. The wisps will drown, or did Azanor finally fix that?

In any case, I just use my trusty diamond sword, and since I only take issue with sharing confined spaces with wisps, I'm usually fighting them in confined spaces anyway.

It has more than enough juice to take down the Dragon. Doesn't seem to have any effect on the Crystals, though.
 
Xeno's Reliquary has the ultimate in wisp killers, a dirty great big seeking shot handgun :D Also has a bunch of other fun(and effective) "magic swag"

Quicksand from ExtraBiomes' Mini-Jungle in a 3x3 block around the node. If the wisps actually make it out you can 1-shot them with a stone sword.
 
Well I turn off ExtraBiomes because every time I left it on when I made a large biomes world, the vanilla biomes felt a little bit stretched and generally less interesting.

As for mob grinders, I don't use them.
