I forgot the skill that reserves Mozes health for shields. All I’ve ever used with her is a deathless red/blue, ended up respeccing to try a different build. Meh. Done the new content, going to play something else.

Is it possible to get Amara's melee to do a decent/noticable amount of damage? I think I have all her skills that boost melee damage and it's still really little, or is it just having Mayhem on and the lack of scaling? I remember Athena had a melee interrupt capstone that reset it's cooldown when you got a kill with it, and that seemed viable.

I saw level 57 melee builds that relied on freezing enemies for the extra multiplier, but that was before Mayhem 2.0. After 2.0, doubtful, unless you count using the Slayer modifier as a build (it works with TTB). I'd love Amara's Blitz to work like Athena's Bloodrush, maybe by way of a com. I've said it before, but hybrid Athena is the most fun I've had in this franchise.

Ah. The profile editor only edits your global profile ie. guardian ranks/tokens/bonuses, room decorations and player skins. It doesn't do anything else (vehicle skins eg. are stored per character in their save file). Didn't try any of the actual save file editors.

I'm just going to fall rear end backwards into this thread with my question. i played BL1 briefly and found it pretty fun. Being cooped up at home, I'm eyeing for things to take up my time before I start lusting for death. Is BL3 worth a try or will it only expedite aforementioned lust?

I'm not doing much damage in mayhem 6 and I don't know why. I usually play with a friend, and together we can farm Mayhem 7, but playing MH6 single player is beyond pulling teeth. My gear isn't terrible. I have a 24,000x2 damage yellowcake and a stack of good guns (OPQ, Krakatoa, etc). Any ideas on what is going wrong here? It feels like higher-level Mayhem completely sucks to play solo, but I'm 100% open to the concept that I'm just bad, or playing it wrong. I use Fl4K. e: to be specific I'm trying to get the Monarch but I can't effectively compete in the area at MH6. It's literally possible, I could do it if I wanted to have a poo poo time, but it feels so bullet-spongy as to be not worth it. Taima fucked around with this message at 07:02 on May 11, 2020 |

Make sure you’re not playing with any mayhem damage reduction modifiers, they are pure garbage. Use at level guns, toss your old guns, all of them. Use an amp shield if you health/shield gate, find a proper M10 build similar to yours and see what you are missing skill/gear wise. Guardian ranks are important, keep playing and boost them up.

Bwahaha, going from maxed out Zane to speed level-to-76 Amara and it's bananas how strong she feels. Phazezerker with Phazecast allows me to get that early game feeling of popping fools with kamehamas. Doing well with an Anarchy too.

Its amazing how bad most of the legendaries feel at 57. I'm just wandering around at mayhem 2 finding claptraps and poo poo, and at this point im only picking up legendaries, but I have a level 50 OPQ and Lob a 56 Krakatoa, and a 57 Yellowcake and nothing compares even remotely. I vendor dozens of Ten Gallons and Needle Guns and Long Muskets and basically every single SMG is bad, every non-krakatoa sniper is bad, most of the gimmicks are "fires in a goofy pattern" or just "has better than normal stats but still bad". I guess Night Hawkins used to be good, but put it up against a NoPewPew that does double the damage, no reloads, and ends up firing way faster... I haven't started Love and Tentacles yet, is there anything up there with the Cartel weapons? It kinda makes me want to reinstall diablo 3, at least every character had 2-3 builds instead of just getting an O.P.Q and vendoring everything but better O.P.Qs.

GLaT has the Anarchy which is very good for both mobbing and bosses and was probably the most OP gun in the game until the OPQ came around. The Unseen Threat has its fans but I've never used it much.

On that topic, I just beat it replaying the story as Amara. Did anyone know when I can replay it? I was hoping to farm it before having be to schlep across the level again, but when I reset the chamber stays empty.

Gearbox are treating this game like an MMO. In an MMO, enemies (generally) don't scale to you and the bosses have their own loot tables with the strongest loot. When the devs of an MMO release new bosses and loot, it's for higher and higher levels, which players will then play to progress further. They won't generally go back to old content because it or its rewards are not scaled. There's no real benefit, so all the power creep comes from the new items and content. The problem is that in BL3, everything at endgame scales to your level, and the vast majority of legendaries are world drops. The game is built to be able to replay everything (and Gearbox even encourage this with events) This means that you still play everything, kill all the bosses and almost all of the same loot drops. Only 99% of that loot is now useless, because Gearbox is only adding more powerful weapons to newer content without rebalancing the other 95% of it. So you have a game that is all about loot and "Lootsplosions" and a "Bazillion" guns, where only a few percent (at best) of it actually matters. Because they think Borderlands in an MMO, for some reason despite having designed the game as anything but. They have no idea what the gently caress they are doing and don't seem to have any plans to fix or change any of it. At least Diablo 3 managed a middleground with crafting, materials and enchanting. Everything that dropped was useful to some extent, and even if something wasn't quite what you needed, it was possible to enchant it to make it so. As a result, you felt like you weren't wasting your time while playing. Even if you got nothing to wear or wield in a one hour session, you still got a shitload of materials which will help you reroll items and stats in the future. Not to mention Paragon levels which are way more satisfying and attainable than the equivalent in BL3.

You've hit the nail on the head of the BIG issue with the entire Borderlands franchise, Gearbox seems to assume that every player will be playing with 3 other people so you can combine fire to take down anything on any difficulty, or mayhem mode. That however, just isn't true, a great many players play by themselves so get hit by the full weight of the horrible enemy damage scaling and get hosed by the stupid FFYL system when downed alone. I've never felt that Borderlands had a lot of weapon choice, even way back in BL1, everyone would just run the Hellfire SMG to blow everything away, 99% crap, 1% good has always been the weapon system in the series.

Gearbox is gonna tweak M2.0quote:With the upcoming Guardian-themed Takedown, we will lower the health, armor, and shield stat bonuses that enemies receive in the higher levels of Mayhem. We’ll also adjust over- and underperforming gear, so that more gear is viable and balanced with the new lowered stat bonuses found in Mayhem Levels 7 and above. Certain underperforming Anointments will also see a buff with this change. And it sounds like mission rewards might become farmable with eridium, if I understood it correctly. Nice, but honestly this is just patching their previous bad decisions and oversights. Rinkles fucked around with this message at 18:56 on May 13, 2020 |

Mayhem post tweak is going to be a joke unless they significantly reduce weapon damage, it's already too easy. e: post patch I seem to be doing more damage to annointed in general, and getting huge amounts of exp doing konrads hold speed runs to grab the Mongol. M10 Mongol  M? Mongol

It's also way less work to drag down a handful of guns which are massively more powerful than going through dozens of guns to buff them. They'd have to alter enemy HP/damage/etc. either way.

The problem is that their balance is so loving insane and all over the place that a blanket nerf/buff still wouldn't do it. The legendaries are all over the place and seem like they were balanced by a bunch of developers who never had any communication with each other. This is why they still haven't done anything. They haven't decided yet how to fix their fuckup, and when they have made a decision, expect another few months of them figuring out that their solution was wrong and then more screwing around in attempting to fix it. It's not a joke to say that this game won't really feel like it's ready until months after the last DLC. Either that or a fan patch, but it seems that fans don't care enough. Certainly not as much as they cared about BL2. That says a lot.
