I just started using Gaige and already I can tell I’ve been using Zero for too long. I keep trying to line up B0re shots.

Looks like there’s going to be 3 raid bosses. Each raid boss can only be killed by a player once per day. World of Warcraft style lockouts. Better have some awesome loot
dunno where to level~~~
Butt Stallion needs to be a raid boss.
That is SO MEAN.
Kooper has to “work” work? 
Blue ball comes slowly.
Hmm, need to get my Commando to 50 before the 16th. This will be a lot of work.
I went the double turret route (Survival tree) too. Does the Longbow really add that much health to the turret? Mine don’t seem to go down at all with the bubble shield. I’ve maybe had 3 turrets destroyed in the whole time I’ve been playing. I tend to toss the turrets and then rocket launcher and grenade anyone shooting at them though.
Mechromancer is really fun. I had her at 300 Anarchy last night. She can’t hit snow in the winter when she’s shooting, but she obliterates everything at pointblank range. It’s ridiculous. And that robot is crazy. The skill that gives her a set percentage of her shield + transfusion grenades is a nice combo.
Well, Maliwan Style gives Gaige orange hair at least while looking cool. The only problem is that it turns her eyes brown, which makes them look disconcerting for some reason (kind of pupil-less). I think the reason her hair looks washed out on her normal skin is because it uses the same flag/label as the bandage on her cheek. And having red/orange bandages would just be silly!
The game seems to like me more when I play as her too. Found a purple Maliwan fire smg in a vendor before the Corporal Reiss quest, and I immediately found Michael at the top of Claptrap’s stairs, where he gave me a blue Hyperion sniper with good initial good accuracy. Going to try farming Hellfire on Maya for Gaige.
Assassinate the Assassins was MUCH easier with Deathrap around, and I only died once from letting myself get cornered stupidly by a Suicide Psycho with nothing in range to kill. It was more of an issue making sure Deathtrap didn’t get the finishing blow so I could get the side objectives!
I’ve found Discord to be incredibly useful as well. Get your stacks up, start bombing around at point blank, reload to start health regen … you only lose maybe 30 of your stack to regen most of your health. Coupled with the shield regen kill skill you can really kick some ass.
I’m not sure I want to take it past 150 anarchy, tho … it’s already a > 260% damage boost, but it becomes nearly impossible to hit anything short of point blank. I can’t imagine what a stack of 300 would be like.
Finally got my Siren to Level 50. Time to focus on Gaige. I’m surprised we’re getting more DLC so soon. I guess they want to get the 1st campaign DLC out before the big November releases.
#1. The game likes HER more, irrespective of you.
I say this having encountered the drop bias, myself.
#2. Deathtrap makes EVERYTHING easier.
Seriously.
I am level 22, and just drop him in the midst of a field of enemies, and let their deaths keep his duration up for minutes at a go.

Gaige sucks, from what I’ve been experiencing. Level 25, speccing BFF - Deathtrap still dies so easily and you have no means of telling him which enemies to target.
Currently at start of Sawtooth Cauldron trying to take down the Ambush Commanders - DT just runs straight in, dies immediately, leaving Gaige with nothing but her guns.
She is nothing without DT - Maya at least has shit going on while she has someone phaselocked. Perhaps it’s just the BFF tree that is shit - might respec to Little Big Trouble instead and get some of that extra shock damage going on.
Note to peeps here, search random piles of crap when possible. I mean that literally, all the dung piles and the like. I’ve been doing it systematically for a bit and keep pulling Purple skins for Classes and Vehicles in them. Pretty interesting way to get them.
Metal Storm Kill Skill in the Gunpowder tree= tons of fun, just turning people into swiss cheese left and right.
If anyone has a Black Hole shield they’d be willing to dupe, please hit me up here or on XBL. Tag is in the sig.
wew, weekend…
I have a Shock Trooper mod with +4 Metal Storm. It’s … delightful.
I’ve found Shock snipers to be so much more important than in the first playthrough now that ever enemy and their mother has a shield.
i can’t do anything without my lv2X bee in second playthrough it’s really sad.
kept farming hunter hellquist in first playthrough. got a lv29 bee with better amp damage but its recharge delay is way too long. gonna farm it a bit more.
Well SRK seems to be being less “Ass” I hope…
The Nuke on Axton’s turret is lolz

That was incredibly funny. I felt like a Dictator lording my awesome might over some crumbling nations. My Commando has illusions of grandeur it seems.
