Got myself a corrosive Sandhawk that absolutely melts everything as it has the 1% damage stack annoint. Even with my ammo regen Moze it still eats up ammo, tho. Between that, Yellowcake, and the OPQ, I was thinking of bumping up to a higher mayhem level, but the side effects of the next levels look so unfun I don't even know if I should bother.

M10 is just for those of us with the "must have highest number" disease, I do and still burned out super fast despite having a stupidly powerful build/weapons that can pull it off. it's just not very fun

Just started playing the Cartel stuff tonight. Before I even made it into the mansion I got a Yellowcake with a +200% weapon damage with an active skill anointment.

What's the best class mod for Amara if I want to use Phasegrasp+The Ties That Bind + Stillness of Mind? The actual Phasegrasp class mod seems bad because all it does is just apply my action skill element to everything, and it has points in Infusion, which I read actively lowers your damage. How does Ties That Bind work with Rush stack abilities? Does it only do more damage to the secondary targets since Phasegrasp doesn't do damage itself? is Phasezerker a good class mod for a Phasegrasp build?

If you're doing a Rush stack build, Phasezerker is the best one by far. I am using Phasecast until I have enough points to get Avatar from the Mystical Assault tree AND Ties That Bind. Once I have that, I'll switch to Phasegrasp + Ties That Bind as the Rush bonus will apply to anybody taking bullet damage from being grasped OR being secondarily-grasped from TTB. Not sure on your first main question though - I'm planning on keeping Soul Sap rather than use Stillness of Mind.

Soul Sap is the healing one, right? Stillness of Mind has been working pretty great, it usually grabs 6 or 7 enemies and has a pretty wide range. It also grabs people who walk into range AFTER you use Phasegrasp but while its still active. I think Sustainment is more than enough healing when you have a good elemental weapon like a Hellshock or NoPewPew.

I think Sustainment is more than enough healing when you have a good elemental weapon like a Hellshock or NoPewPew. That definitely makes sense if you are far enough along in the Fist of The Elements tree. Right now I've only got about 7-8 points there though  In this interim period where I don't have enough points for both Avatar and TTB, I've been rolling Avatar, but tbh I should consider a respec geared toward finishing Fist of the Elements and see if the lower amount of Rush stacks is still viable for now. I bet it would be.Right now I currently am rolling with: https://bl3skills.com/siren/#0000000000000013153113130315003000000000 (along with Phasecast and Soul Sap) But it might make sense to try something like: https://bl3skills.com/siren/#0000000000000053003010000005005051310200 (along with Ties That Bind and Stillness of Mind) The current rollout has been insanely successful though - especially since I can blast out two phasecasts and I'm very VERY rarely not getting absurd bonuses from my Rush stacks.

How are people finding the transition from M4 to M10? My Redistro is still good against mobs but boss farming is a slog. I could farm M6 or so for a while but only to transition up, and I don't want to farm a new Redistro just to need a new one. And am I imagining it or are M10 shields and other non-weapon gear just the same as at lower levels? So the only thing M10 offers is guaranteed anoint.

Shields, grenades, class mod, and artifact don’t scale, only weapons. Don’t bother farming for perfect gear until M10. Use whatever you find and works for build, easily farmed weapons like lob, hellshock, opq system, yellowcake, any annointment. You should be able to scrape by setting the modifier up two levels at time. If you’re on PC I have spare M10 weapons you can have if your ok with getting some donations.

Is there a trainer or other thing out there that I can use to up the drop rate so I don't end up spending more hours senselessly trying to grind for a single item with the correct anointment again? Something without malware, preferably.

Apparently there was supposed to be an indicator, but they ran into a bug, and didn't want to patch in the fix last minute. It should be in the next non-hotfix patch, so 2-3 weeks away.

I searched high and low on the Borderlands wiki, reddit, and some other internet cesspits but I cannot figure out what the weapon modifier prefix "Bountiful" means. I have found the gun type itself listed but nothing about the prefix. Any idea? Details: I got a Bountiful Destructo Spinner randomly and didn't notice until a while after; so I have no idea where it came from. Bountiful isn't listed anywhere I can find as a weapon prefix about what it means for the variation. Mine fires 50/50 Cryo and Radiation bullets at random, and the elemental selector doesn't change the bullets, but it DOES change the area splash puddle they leave behind when they hit something. So, a cryo bullet can leave a radiation puddle if you choose radiation. Not sure if that has anything to do with the Bountiful prefix. The only other version I have seen anywhere else is called Unescapable Destructo Spinner, and the Unescapable prefix also seems still unknown.  Also to the OP, the game is probably released long enough now for some sorts of recommended resources for this type of info to be added to the original post if you were inclined. I think Gibbed is maybe working on a save editor too?

So I've realized that an Iron Bear centered Moze build isn't going to scale well into the higher Mayhems well. I respec'd into a blood-soaked shields with gun damage sort of build. Damage still seems not quite there. Do I just need better gear? Sadly the bulk of the new annointments are worthless on Moze, namely the ones that only work with an active action skill. I only noted the anointments that do anything in my list Guns: -OPQ -NoPewPew: [Anointed] +150% rad damage when under 50% health -Yellowcake Frontloader Shield Bloodletter class mod Deathless artifact

I can see a Yellowcake nerf coming very soon, why bother even playing the game when you have one, you've won, go home. If this is the game experience, where only like 5 guns are usable at Mayhem 10, that the playerbase wants, then you lot should feel bad.

orcane posted:It's exactly how the high difficulty options turned out in BL2. Good luck convincing Gearbox this is dumb and lovely, I don't think you have to convince "normal" players. I see all Gearbox's talk about wanting better game balance and endgame experiences was just fluff, but I shouldn't be surprised, as mentioned this is exactly how it went for BL2 and it was just as poo poo then as it is now.

There's atleast one major difference though. In BL2 you had a handful of OP guns purely accidentally, because gearbox is bad at balancing things. In BL3 you have OP guns on purpose because gearbox wants to make sure that event and M4/M6 guns are better than all the other legendaries. And then they still gently caress up and you get stuff like the Lob, Hellshock, and Krakatoa that are better that a lot of the M4/M6 guns.

I also use an OPQ with the 300% damage over 90% health annoint (which wrecks anyone with shields and can kill Katagawa in 5 seconds if I aim correctly at the start of the battle), a corrosive Sandhawk with the 1% damage stack annoint, and an unannointed high damage yellwcake (haven't found a good annointed one yet). I also have a deathless artifact that increased splash radius and radiation damage (which leads to occasionally downing myself if I'm not careful with the Yellowcake). I'm able to hold my own quite comfortably in M7, but Iron Bear is still pretty useless over being a safeguard to jump into when the shields get low.

so wait, is Amara SUPPOSED to be able to get Do Harm stacks when phasegrasp misses and doesn't go on cooldown? If I look at the ground and spam Phasegrasp, I can get 99 Rush stacks with Phasezerker, then phasegrasp a target to do 534% more damage and 35% of that to everything around it?

Only it will be longer than a few months, because every time GBX comes out with a new DLC or significant patch, poo poo breaks even more. To be perfectly honest, the ideal time to play will probably be around 3-6 months after the final DLC releases. (Assuming GBX doesn't abandon the game immediately after the last DLC)

If so I have some respeccing to do... it's a weird complicated skill, but the first point is absolutely worth it because of how some weapons work. specifically chaining and ricocheting weapons (like the recursion or brainstormer). you get an extra, full damage projectile if you have any points in infusion. this works because :gearbox: they also fixed it last patch where infusion works with sustainment (amara's elemental life steal), so now you can life steal with non-elemental weapons.
