Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I guess...
I'm still kind of sad I have to aim ahead depending on distance from my target when it comes to long range sniping.
some NPCs patrol in really dumb ways
Also, since I finally moved on, I'm suddenly knee-deep in good shit, and have replaced nearly all of my load-out several times over tonight. Finally found (several) decent level-appropriate shields, an orange x4 corrosive revolver that tears shit up, another pretty good Hyperion SMG and a purple incendiary SMG that absolutely rapes when combined with a Firefly class mod & incendiary artifact.
I killed a Badass Psycho by Phase Shifting. I didn't even have to hit him.
I found one like that... except it sent seven "pellets" each shot, and anything that I hit with it died in one shot.
However, I had to also be pretty much point blank... the pellet spread was pretty awful. Edit: This would be a fun Lilith weapon, I think!

Help a poor bastard out! Read (or at least visit) my Bright Hub articles!
if you level up eridian proficiency it lowers recharge time, get it high enough and they recharge just about as fast you can fire it. But thats a lot of work with guns that just aren't all that great overall (than again I haven't found better than a green one, maybe the oranges are super nice).

Fun fact;
Rolands +clip size skill and class mod effect seem to increase the energy reserves of eridian guns.
I found an OMG cannon with 1556 damage rating. Green but still huge damage so it might be worth it down the line. Depends if in Borderlands 2 if you get to keep your characters

I'm a Plaguebearer with this mod:
I then wreck shit with this pistol. Crimson Lance non-badasses die with one headshot, badasses die in a maximum of four shots.
Every now and then (and if I run low on revolver ammo) I switch to Mercenary:
This is the main weapon for that spec. I call it "daddy's lead hose". x2 bullets, awesome accuracy.
Should I run low on ammo I switch to this beauty that isn't far behind on damage. I go back up to full ammo as soon as there's a lull in the fighting.
I personally like the lightning sniper however I am almost positive that all eridian guns make you run slower.
I think I have 7 of them in my inventory right now.
2 snipers 2 cannons and 3 shotguns.
Grandfather nurgle is... pleased
If he doesn't get stuck in a box for thirty seconds, or a support strut, or a ceiling, or a bridge, or pretty much any tiny little obstruction that might exist anywhere.
Sorry, I hate the bloodwing tremendously and literally never use it. If it weren't such a pain I'd rebind F to be melee attack. I'm glad you're enjoying it though!
Using Bloodwing in a duel isn't even fair.
Brick uses RAGE!
Mordicai uses Bloodwing
Bloodwing hits brick with 5000 points of explosive damage
Mordicai wins!

Previous attempts have involved not being able to kill for shit and getting killed all the time.
Any build/gear/fail avoidance advice?
edit: You have to use guerrilla tactics early on, but in the mid game you become a strong front liner and then in the end game you become death incarnate.
I hear they need a week to polish the patch.
I have that pistol on my Lilith as well, cept mine is scoped. So badass.
Oh, and I hate you for having that shield, I want that so bad.
If you go Assassin don't get Phase Strike. Even after the fix it's still a waste of points. Just get anything that makes your guns better and a Merc mod and then work on making Phasewalk better.

The elemental dots don't make up for the loss of damage. They could use a buff.
Agreed. I was finding it tough early on, but once you get a good Merc class mod and you have some skill points increasing bullet damage and whatnot, your SMG is insane. If you use a merc class mod and a hyperion SMG you can generally do better damage at range with your SMG than you can with a sniper rifle, even that orange one you get.
Right now I've got a Plaguebearer mod with a 102 damage corrosive SMG with corrosive phasewalk and corrosive grenades. When I enter a zone things just die in pools of green goo where ever I go.
Scooter is pretty amusing too, but yeah I enjoyed finding all of the tapes from Tannis
Go into your \Gearbox Software\Borderlands\WillowGame\Movies folder
Rename 2K_logo.bik and NVidia.bik to something else
Start the game with out the unskippable intros forever more.
Jumpin' Jesus, Why do developers STILL make this simple mistake? The 2nd flaw I've found in this game. (Crashing on Alt-tab? For shame...)
Thankfully there isn't any hour long unskippable boss intro movies that get replayed when you die over and over.
I disagree. Elemental damage stacks, so if you're spewing an x4 fire or corrosive gun, the damage adds up fast and does way more damage over time.

Guess I just need to find better elemental weapons, then. But so far my lower-level non-elemental SMG outright kills shit dead in fewer shots than my high-level elemental SMGs need to stack up a dot decently, and that's not accounting for the extra time the dot needs to tick.
There are 3 levels of Orange. Light Orange, Orange, and Dark Orange.
thats been in the OP for a while.
I don't know what the red text does, but it fires all 4 rockets at once, which leaves me with no rocket ammo
Served me well, but I found one that was identical but for marginally more damage
It regenerates bullets faster than I can fire them!
Is really good, but unfortunately I've kind of grown out of it
Seeing a flight of ever-multiplying rockets might make using them fun again.

And continues doing damage while you turn to another target to get the DOTs rolling, or start phasewalking...
I'm level 46 right now, with no points in any of the elemental-related skills, and i'm still using this on my second playthrough:
It absolutely demolishes everything. Everything.
whatever build I do with brick I make sure the first thing I do is get the increased health/shield skills before touching anything else.
Oddly enough I didn't like the roaster at first, but using it on skags and unarmored humanoids on the second playthrough it does a ridiculous amount of damage. Especially with the metal storm talent on a soldier. I can shoot a ridiculous amount of rockets very accurately that all do tons of fire damage.
You need to farm for the level 40 version of it.
