Is it a low level thing or are legendaries more common in 3? I’ve seen like 7 or 8 by level 15 now, including 4 off vending machines. It’s great and I love it but I don’t want to get my hopes up.

Raising the cap to 65 obsoleted a lot of the cartel weapons now since they're locked at 57, so you can go back and get the cool DLC weapons that weren't good enough before. though a decent OPQ is still good enough to hang with high mayhem level 65 stuff.

Finally chewed through the Locomobius, and, well, all I can say is that you need good corrosive guns (of multiple types) and some serious SDU investment before you face off against that thing. It's a ludicrous bullet-sponge. At least I have a max-level Brainstormer (one of the best Double Barrel guns) and Hellwalker now, so I'm melting down enemies pretty nicely now.

It’s great and I love it but I don’t want to get my hopes up. It's pretty much all legendaries all the time in 3. Eventually it gets to the point after you buy all the storage upgrades where money doesn't matter anymore and there's no reason to pickup anything but legendaries and even then it's only certain ones with a good anointment. Edit: Speaking of good legendaries, I'm so glad they buffed the hellwalker. Right after hitting 65 I picked one up with the 200% damage while action skill is active on Zane. I forget the exact base damage but it's somewhere in the 270-280k range and it owns. hamsystem fucked around with this message at 14:53 on Sep 15, 2020 |

He has a pretty good distance with it considering it's a shotgun. What weapons do you all use with Zane clone? I've found the light show, hellwalker and the blood-starved beast work really well with it.

Clone with a Sandhawk or Hellshock is what I'm rocking right now. I had a build with a cryo light show that absolutely wrecked, but I have to re-farm that flavor of Light show thanks to the cap increase. From what I'm hearing here I should probably re-equip my 300/90 OPQ on my clone...

I basically never do stuff like save-editing in games, but this bothers me enough that I might look at it. If you edit up a weapon's level, does it automatically adjust the numbers to match?

Brainstormer means nobody anywhere near you has any shields (and anything without shields will still take respectable damage), the Lyuda has insane DPS (and serves up a mouth-watering buffet of Lootsplosion headshot kills) and the Ion Cannon does reliably brutal damage. Basically, if a gun looks really good except for the fact that it will melt through your limited ammo reserves, giving it to your clone will work wonders.

Didn't the brainstormer get massively nerfed by the change to how chaining/ ricocheting guns work? (And there's also that strictly better other than element M6 clone)

(And there's also that strictly better other than element M6 clone) I mean, I got a level 65 Brainstormer just today, and it's a big upgrade on the weapons I was previously using. It's very powerful - my clone was deleting entire arenas' worth of Guardians in less than a minute.

So, it looks like they did something to Amara's talents and Ties that Bind? Maybe? Right now I was just going deep into the orange and blue trees and using a phasezerker, using ties that bind and stillness of mind and just lighting up groups, but I guess Do Harm was bugged or something with Ties that Bind and they fixed it? So I looked up some other builds on the gearbox forums. It looks like there's a kind of hybrid melee build, that uses a knife drain white elephant artifact, skips the elemental capstone skill, stinger shield, ties that bind and Revelation instead of stillness of mind, but apparently it doesn't work at all until you also have a Face-Puncher and cryo damage Stinger. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rpIwTi2hrWywgB42_I2mCjLqZ72r-n1FAoA2w8LGoGA/edit Actually, a lot of Amara builds kinda rely on Face-Puncher and Stinger. I kinda like how Moze's builds are basically just "Blast Master + splash damage weapon" and it works while you just look for better anoints.

victrix posted:Is there any other new poo poo in the game besides the dlc? new relative to when the game launched They expanded the amount of bank storage and changed up mayhem mode. Now it goes up to rank 10 and adds different modifiers based on which rank you're in. You can reroll the modifiers as much as you want but if you do it in the middle of a map it'll kick you back to the beginning and respawn everything.

There are the Takedowns that are free for everyone. Basically a significantly harder level, with a big boss at the end with unique loot. Non boss enemies respawn after your deaths. And rekilling the boss requires redoing the whole level. Haven't done the second one yet. There were some pretty good seasonal events too, but they were time limited. The Halloween one should probably be coming back soon.

WhiteHowler posted:It's super dumb that they removed the Cartel stuff. It was a fun mission with great loot, and you simply can't do it anymore. Yes, save editing the level of guns works fine and is very easy. You can be far more adventurous with the changes if you want.

I'm starting over with Moze If you have DLC 1&2 you can start right at Sanctuary at level 13 and skip the early pandora stuff. The first Markus cutscene changes to fill you in a bit. Select new game and you’ll get a new menu for normal or DLC start. I picked Moxxi and while it starts you on that mission you can just bracket to the main quest and come back to it if you don’t want do the casino right at 13. I just did that and it was incredibly good since that’s exactly where I stopped with my previous FL4K game. Im much happier with Moze FWIW, She’s definitely set up for simpler run-and-gun play style with the Mech as a good oh poo poo button. Mazz fucked around with this message at 14:43 on Sep 16, 2020 |

Fl4k is cool, and I never don't want more ProZD in my life, but Moze feels very synced with what I want in a shooter: lots of shooting. Plus, granted I'm low level, but I don't feel like I have to loot guns around a specific build or anything glancing over the skill trees. Hrm, I suppose I should decide whether or not I want the DLC since it's on sale on PS Store. Can't imagine it won't go back on sale though.

Look for a Maggie for your FL4K, it's a pistol with a fast fire rate and a huge crit bonus that makes run-and-gun more viable on them.

What is the max dps amara build at the mo? Is it ties that bind with 200% weapon damage while action skill active?

Hours and hours and hours later, I've seen 3 heads drop in BoB All for Zane GRINDCORE MEGGIDO posted:What is the max dps amara build at the mo? I still like 100% weapon action skill end because it allows for near 100% uptime of the buff, whilst with 200% ASA you end up with shorter intermittent power bursts. I've been using more phasecast lately just to keep thing interesting. With the scaling of action skill damage indiscriminate can clear rooms almost by itself, so you don't miss ties quite as much. Max dps might be one of the dumb "melee" builds (scare quotes cause there's no actual punching involved, just the damage type), but I've been purposefully avoiding them for now.

Cryo is diet-corrosion and radiation is diet-shock. They get smaller damage bonuses against their preferred target, but have no damage penalty against flesh.

Been trying to get back into the game since not playing near launch. Now I got a PC that's not a toaster and it runs smooth and looks good and I just can't actually make a decision and stick to it on what character to run for my 2nd time through. I played Fl4k first and he was great and there's cool poo poo with everyone else why are decisions so hard.
