The Official Borderlands 2 Thread: Wub wub

Are you on Xbox? I just might take you up on that offer.

Also, some details have leaked about the first DLC addon.

Pretty cool. More raid bosses is good.

Okay, I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who thought Gaige’s colors looked washed out and that it wasn’t something with my settings.

New hovercraft sounds fun, but I wonder if we’ll get an expansion with a flying themed area where you can pilot Buzzards. Also, daily raid bosses are bound to rustle people and elicit “wtf is with this mmo shit gbx!” comments if they’re only once a day.

Interesting that Gaige doesn’t get a new head, or at least, it wasn’t shown/found. Speaking of whom, new ECHO blog

Its ridiculous how fast you leve/power level in a 4 player coop… I got my Anarchy stacked like paper… shotgun blast + anarchy = op…

I just hope they take their time making the dlc. I am enjoying the game and can wait.

So I’ve heard someone on another forum who’s leveled Gaige to 50 say that Anarchy is pretty useless simply because Deathtrap is just so good at end game. Same guy recommends going Discord instead.

Apparently, investing in Smaller, Lighter, Faster will make 1-shot shotguns unusable because they have 0 rounds. Interesting, because I thought it would just sit at the minimum.

Tentative build http://www.bl2db.com/skill-trees#zVxa0pz0xqxztq

Enjoying my time with the Commando so far, I wish the middle tree had more appetizing options for the Turret. I understand it’s a turret-less tree but Longbow is rather meh.

Going down the Red tree, tanking and providing bubble shields is rather nice. Probably go down Green tree when I am finished for double SAM Turret fun.

I been going down the green tree myself. I like it’s ad ons. Plan to max out green tree and mix in red tree. I think they might compliment each other well.

What level are you? Longbow is basically mandatory at level 50 for any build that plans to use the turret, just because you need the survivability.

I did the Guerilla tree until the double barrel, slag turrets then the gunpowder tree while leveling. Worked well for leveling, since my turret was powerful and the slag really beefed up my dps

Mecromancer is my favorite class, Deathtrap just fucking wrecks everything. Me and 2 of my friends just pull out our Deathtraps on Willhelm did not shoot and watched him get destroyed. I soloed the creature arena just because of Deathtrap. I am currently using the green tree. I think she works like an MMO character. You use a certain tree to level her up, then when she gets enough skills you can respec to whatever it is you desire.

Don’t forget that longbow also more than doubles your turret’s health. The benefit there is huge.

Tossing the little lady halfway across the map to flank while you run and gun isn’t half bad, either.

I suppose that is fine but the bubble absorbs a lot of damage, granting it tanking ability as well as giving me a temporary safe haven. If the turret properly drew Aggro then Flanking would be a good option, but half the time I toss the lil’ lady in a spot to draw enemies away they just ignore it and keep pressing down on me.

I can see a benefit to combining Longbow and the Magnet ability, but most people seem to take it just for the health boost. Which is fine, but my turret hardly gets blown up.

I may try a Grenade/Explosion build with the Gunpowder tree soon. if so I’ll see what other benefits I can get from Longbow usage.

So. Much. Borderlands.

Neesa and Kooper can tell you how good Longbow is when I used it in the final round of the Fridge arena when I got killed. Also, the nuke at the bottom of the tree is amazing. Currently, I got the rockets added to my turret, and combined with the nuke, it pretty much turned into a stationary death machine. And I still have points left over to make the turret stronger.

I can confirm this as being true. I made a Mechromancer recently and I’m speccing her Ordered Chaos(third tree). I recently did the Doc Mercy mission, and lo and behold, Doc Mercy dropped Infinity~!. Only…I can’t fire it. With her “Smaller, Lighter, Faster” skill, the Infinity has a clip of 0. So, it’s literally a paperweight.

Oh well. I’m just using Shotguns and Torgue guns with her anyway.

Just got that cursed electric SMG that talks and slows your movement to a crawl…pretty nuts.

the element of the cursed gun is actually random

srk forums are being awful so i’m going to post a lot less probably

the pirate DLC is slated for tuesday… quite early. not sure if i approve. i’ll still get it.

Tuesday? For real? I’m not even close to needing DLC for this game! :frowning:
