    Yeah but you could just play with the random number generator in excel and have just as much fun, minus the loadtimes!

    Im currently level 45 with Brick... I have two Helix style rocket launchers ( one fire one acid ) that do 606x3 damage with one rocket, 88.7 and 93.1 accuracy ( the lesser being the acid one ), and im running a Bombadier class mod, while specced for rocket usage.

    I can fire 11 rockets before either of my rocket launchers is empty, and i have 64 rockets to shoot.

    I literally blow the shit out of anything in my path. The game feels like its on easy mode. Plus im specced with damage resistance on kill and explosive resistance, so that after i kill someone im immune to my own rocket damage.

    Ugh, I finally found a white shield that was better than the one I've been using since level 8.

    Maybe one of these days a chest or a mob will actually drop one with some mods.

    Man, all this talk about the New Haven chest run made me think it was super special.

    It's only six chests :(

    I did an hour of chest runs last night, for gear for myself and my buddy. First playthrough.

    I made four hundred thousand dollars and filled up my inventory with useful guns, like a 211 damage x3 corrosive sniper rifle that my friend uses nearly exclusively now, good shields, and class mods.

    New Haven chest runs are awesome.

    The Gelgamek vagina is three feet wide and filled with razor-sharp teeth! Do you really expect us to have sex with that?!

    Hmm so if i'm gonna hit around 33 with my siren at the end of my first playthrough(32 now and i think it's almost done) I'm assuming I'll hit 50 a decent deal through the 2nd playthrough?

    I also have a revolver that does 212x7 damage a shot with 6 rounds, and a 2.1 fire rate. Its a lovely item to fall back on when im out of rocket ammo.

    Seriously all you guys keep talking about these low level guns. Wait until you get into your second playthrough. You will have guns that will make you orgasm with each shot.

    I'm nearly 46, and I just reached New Haven on my second playthrough. I also have a tendency to do every single quest I can find, if that helps you ballpark it.

    My co-op buddy and I found Skagzilla easier than normal alpha skags, actually. He never hit either of us.

    But we're on the first playthrough, dunno if his AI gets boosted on the 2nd.

    You're joking, right?

    The first skill points that you get to distribute can, and should, go into making you have twice the survivability of anyone else.

    Not to mention, Berserk is like a free heal if you aren't in the middle of a fight, and an "I win" button if you are.

    You get a purple SMG from Bone Head. Nine-Toes' repeater might be purple.

    You have much better luck finding good random loot in chests early on than from drops.

    Were those purple? They might have been. I had better stuff then them (well better than the 4 lines I could see) and sold them off pretty quick. I might not have noticed.

    Phasewalk is a free heal when you are in the middle of a fight though. Lilith may not have the straight up tanking ability of Brick or even Roland, but she probably has the highest survivability, at least when specced for it.

    Dudes, I need some help!

    I am attempting to use the guide provided in the OP to let me see more than 4 item bonuses on an item! I go into the Borderlands folder, into WillowGame, but from there I have no Localization folder to go into, only Logs and Config! I tried to search for gd_globals.INT and found nothing, but searching for gd_globals led me to the WillowEngine txt file in Config. There was nothing in there that looked like
    AttributePresentationTranslation="$NUMBER$ $CONSTRAINT$ $DESCRIPTION$"
    

    though!

    I have the Steam version if it helps any - I just like the sound of 5 lines of bonuses, and would like to get me one!

    Lilith is consistently the one who dies the least in any co-op game I've been in. Mostly because using Phasewalk makes your enemies start attacking your teammates instead of you, which leads to hilarious deaths when a Badass Psycho sneaks up behind your team.

    Lilith does have the best survivability, because she's the best at running away. Calling Brick fragile is just silly though as no one can stay in the middle of the fray nearly as long as he can.

    I agree. My friend is mediocre at best, but his Lilith walks through everything, whereas, I consider myself above competent, play Roland, and go down easily. Pride before the fall and all that.

    I completely fail to see how this is the case.

    Unless I'm like, asleep at the keyboard, I have yet to find a situation where enemies can overpower my health regen during berserk, and with the right class mods there is close to no downtime.

    Brick is just like a punching machine of invulnerability. The bosses I had difficulty with on other characters were a joke. I just punched them until they stopped moving. I'm actually starting to get a little bored with how easy it's been.

    I rarely go down with Roland unless I fuck up a turret placement and once I picked up Stat I pretty much didn't.

    I focused on the first tree for Brick and that may be part of the problem. I really think some of it is Beserk gets me into trouble where the turret or phasewalk gets me out of it.
