yeah... I use my bee to avoid the fire damage and a relic that reduces damage taken from corrosive weapons, I flip between then ruby and sandhawk to minimize using the drains as well as hiding behind the areas to avoid the AOE attack when possible but it would be nice to have him slagged 100% of the time... make things that much better when the bee isn't fully charged.

[GAS KING]

I'm just starting to think I'm not very good at video games. lol

[Marc G]

hahahahaha... compared to 99% of the videos I see on youtube.... neither am I lol

[GAS KING]

Yeah, a lot of those dudes mod to get the perfect set of gear and synergy with their builds........while legit to the point that most are things you can find in game anyway.....it just exposing things that are either broken or unintentionally overpowered.

Having a class mod to boost very specific skills is huge.
Like Maya with 11/5 in Immolate, allows the no health glitch to work on Hyperious. 11/5 in Kinetic Reflection makes her pretty much bullet proof.
OR Sal with 11/5 in money shot does crazy damage.

[Marc G]

yeah... I reallllly need to get a lvl50 Legendary Class mod for Zero... it would really make his melee that much more deadly along with some killer upgrades to critical hits etc.

[GAS KING]

Most of the legendary class mods or Terra class mods boost 5 or 6 first tier skills....which can be helpful for normal play, but those blue/purple class mods seem to be even more powerful.
They boost 3 skills a couple tiers down in the trees that make them super powerful.
I'm not as familiar with Zer0's mods as much, but I'm sure there are some really neat ones out there.

I might be able to hook you up with a zero mod though.

[Marc G]

oh sweet... I find the Legendary mods are great because they boost tons of stuff across the board so in most builds you're gonna get something boosted, but you're right, there are some insane purple class mods that give stupid levels of boosts... but that's too much for me to manage, i rather just have the legendary and i know I'm more or less covered

[GAS KING]

Yeah, I like to have it with me most of the time too.......what's sweet about the legendary is in most cases you have at least a point in most of those skills anyway.......so it's easily swappable with a more specific mod.

They definitely make it challenging with limited storage space. ha.

I have yet to make a mule............but I'll have to start thinking about storage...........because if I find any new stuff.........I won't have anywhere to put it. lol

[Marc G]

meh... if it's ONE THING this game has done to me is make me very unsentimental with items... if I find something new I check it out, if it doesn't let me kill shit faster I sell it.. if it's a close call I will use it for a bit and see if it handles better etc...

[Marc G]

DLC #4 is on the way.... so I know what I'm doing later lol.. hope they introduce some cool new items in this DLC

[GAS KING]

Same here. 55% and 40 mins before work.
I hope I can play it before work.
Otherwise, 5pm - 11pm tonight.

[Marc G]

nice... I will be on later for sure, if you want to trade some loot before you start let me know. I don't have much super awesome gear but I do have a lvl61 inflammable bee and lvl61 Fire Norfleet annd a few other cool guns

[GAS KING]

got to play for 10 mins.

Not really a spoiler, but be prepared for ranged attacks.....shouldn't be a problem since you're a sniper.

If you're only exactly at 5pm central time, I can definitely "trade" with you........more like dump off whatever you need, then dashboard out.

[Marc G]

yeah... I'm on Eastern Time so I'll be on at that time for sure... probably in the game lol... just shoot me a message and I'll travel to Sanctuary or something like that so it doesn't mess up your single player play through.

[GAS KING]

yeah... I'm on Eastern Time so I'll be on at that time for sure... probably in the game lol... just shoot me a message and I'll travel to Sanctuary or something like that so it doesn't mess up your single player play through.

I can just join you wherever you are, when I get home............just can't be by a save location (well, I have backup files anyway, so it really doesn't matter).

What are you looking for? I have various gear spread across my players due to a lack of space.

[Marc G]

ahhhh nothing in particular... I have a Fire Norfleet so if you got another elemental version of the Norfleet that would be great... any lvl61 infinity pistols would be awesome, I saw a build with Zero that turns the infinity pistol in to an INSANE gun... Lvl61 Conference call would be awesome too... basically I will take a look at any lvl61 gear you think kicks ass, lol

[Marc G]

oh and if you got a lvl50 or higher Legendary Class mod for Zero that would be sweet

[GAS KING]

ahhhh nothing in particular... I have a Fire Norfleet so if you got another elemental version of the Norfleet that would be great... any lvl61 infinity pistols would be awesome, I saw a build with Zero that turns the infinity pistol in to an INSANE gun... Lvl61 Conference call would be awesome too... basically I will take a look at any lvl61 gear you think kicks ass, lol

I think I only have a fire norfleet too. I'll have to check.....I feel like I had a shock version at some point.

I should be able to get you everything you need.
I'll just drop a few other things and you can either take them or sell them.

[GAS KING]

You know, I'm not sure what the skeletons are prone to?

Didn't look like they had shields yet.........just red bars. And some yellow armored ones.

I was using the DPUH, since I had Sal.

Pretty conflicted on who to play the DLC with in general......
I know who I'm not.....Krieg, Gaige, and Axton.....those are my least favorite.

Siren is my main legit character and I usually play her co-op. Sal is just fun. Zer0 is amazing, but the most challenging for me.

[Marc G]

thanks meng... I have a lvl50 slag Norfeelt, the problem is that pretty much does NOTHING to a lvl61 enemy.

[GAS KING]

I don't know if it matters to you, but since I played through with 3 characters....start to finish legit......got bored and desperate for some sort of legendary. For some reason, I was not very lucky during those play thrus? (lately it's been better with Krieg) looked into gibbed after that.

That's why I have stuff that's rare and lvl 61.

Some people don't like taking stuff that wasn't obtained in game. Just thought I'd put that out there, tho I assumed you figured that.
It's all legit gear you could find in the game......I just didn't find some of it organically.

I'm the guy that knows how to get things.

[Marc G]

as long as it's legit loot I'm cool with it.. the black weapons are too much of a headache to deal with, the whole having to put it back on your vault before you quit is annoying and not conducive to my tendency to randomly rage quit a game lol

[GAS KING]

100% legit.

I haven't even looked into modded gear......I don't want to one shot everything or have it be too easy (boring).

To be honest, after my first mod........I felt pretty guilty, and finding gear wasn't as fun....since I had most of it.
I went back and made it so my characters had a few key items, so finding loot would be fun again.

In most cases, I'm using stuff I actually found, blue quest reward gear or torgue crap I bought in the machines with my characters.

Legendary stuff is good because they always have at least one little thing that makes them more effective than a purple.

[Marc G]

that's cool... and I agree... killing everything with one shot is boring, check this guy's build for Zero out.. this is why I want the infinity pistol... things might get a bit easier for me with his... at least some of the bosses

[GAS KING]

That is cool.

Infinity doesn't do as much damage, but with the bonuses, it might be a fun pray/spray build.
