    Wow holy shit. I have one of those shotguns (the orange one) though not nearly as awesome as that one.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    P2 items jump the fuck up. In the upper 30's I got a blue revolver with 2.5k Damage per shot.

    Just tested connecting to people I had issues with before, and was able too. So if you have had issues with BL2 MP, give it a try now, might be working finally.

    I'm level 46 and white 50k damage rocket launchers rain from the heavens. I'd totally believe those are possible. Shit gets real silly.

    The way it looked to me he only used the shotguns.
    and judging by the way rocket launchers scale, i'd say it was legit.

    Plus I've heard of lots of gunzerkers doing the same thing.

    I wonder how gearbox feels now that their big bad boss is 7 seconds killable... Totally have to transfer that shotty to my Sal when he gets of level.

    Well...I mean when you got weapons doing over 100000 damage a shot I think you figured something like that would happen.

  • texasheattexasheat Registered User regular
    Ok, so clearly i need to respec...evidently the tanking tree isn't the shit i once believed it to be.....

  • DragkoniasDragkonias That Guy Who Does Stuff You Know, There. Registered User regular
    Moar damage is always best.

    Well...except when you die in one hit.

    Naw...its still the best even then.

  • dporowskidporowski Registered User regular
    Is the BBB available in p1 AND p2? And if you fight the p1 version, is he scaled the same as in p2? (Not watched the vid, but a 7s kill of Mr. Boss would make me think "lower difficulty level" or something.)

    He's available in P1, but his level and difficulty is the same in either playthrough.

    It's just the way some gunzerker skills stack, and having very good relics/class mods that increase multiple skills +5. it leads to this crazy bomb of dps.

    just watch the first 40 seconds of that video to see the skill build/weapons/relics/classmod/badass points build, than stop if you don't want to see what the boss is.

    I was really digging the "no reason to reload" Gunlust build before my character was corrupted.

    Fire every bullet (last one doing +800%), switch to next gun, repeat. With Quick Draw, it takes less time to swap out (most) weapons than to reload. You almost never stop shooting, it's pretty great.

    That said, I'm pretty sure a Rampage build focused on constant Gunzerking would do more burst damage.

    So I just got a great Wild Cat mod that gives +4 to Accelerate and +3 to Wreck and decided to try that out.

    80% bonus fire rate and close to 80% bonus damage while Phaselock is up.

    That was pretty fun.

    Also, got a sweet blue Wheelgun revolver that does 1600 damage per shot off of a final boss run. Revolvers are just so damn cool.

    Hmm, i guess i need to try the other skill trees to be sure. But even then i think that gunzerking needs a boost in some way. Zero gets crit dmg and melee dmg when he uses his. Perhaps the trade off for not being able to zoom is a much higher acc rating. I don't know, it just seem the gunzerking is the weakest of the actual skills. Regardless of the skill points spent...
    o.O

    Gunzerking is already a lot of extra damage. Assuming equal DPS weapons, you get 2x damage from the dual wielding, damage reduction and hp/ammo regen, plus you'll eventually get up to +88% fire rate. And with everything unlocked, you're basically permanently in that state.

    Combine that with the other +fire rate talents and you get uh... this.

    lol I so knew this was going to happen. The moment they announced the action skills I was like...wait...one guy's action skill scales with weapons? and nobody elses does? :P not that it really matters (BL2 mp isn't competitive), but it's such an obvious scaling issue.

    I think it's the other way around, gun lust would do more burst damage, but rampage would be a constant hose of dakka

    Maya's got entire trees that scale up with her guns or enhance their basic function significantly, too.

    The Turret's the only odd man out, his Axton doesn't scale to keep up very well.

  • thepizzaelementalthepizzaelemental Registered User regular
    Yeah, taking out a bonus boss that fast is extremely stupid. They're just going to make him harder. And then my Axton will never be able to solo him.

    Apparently it makes up for that by being an 'I Win' button for all of PT1...

    16x slag grenades

    Wait. Slag is simply a flat multiplier to damage, 2x. You can't stack slag that way, to my knowledge. Something sounds broken.

  • JibbaJibba Registered User regular
    Ah, you're right.
    I used the Biddy Grenades in order to keep slag on him so I could get a double damage on my shot. As for the multipliers..
    54639 x 17 x 2(Amp Shield shots)
    10% crit hit damage
    40% Gun Damage first shot after swapping weapons.
    800% Gun Damage for shooting the final shot in the clip
    30% Gun Damage for using the same weapon type
    6.4% Gun Accuracy (Badass Rank)
    7.6% Gun Damage(Badass Rank)
    8% Critical Hit Damage(Badass Rank)
    29% Fire Damage(relic)

    So I finished the Best Mother's Day Ever quest. And got two shields from it. I assume you always get the thumper shield as your quest reward, but the boss dropped this:
    7964577EDCA138879F6A4CA666B64FD641C60D0A

    That's right, a disposable Tediore shield. This bastard killed me while I was fighting a wormhole thresher. It was hilarious.

    Also I got the Sandblaster head for Axton from the boss, but I already have it.

    Agreed. The big one seems like "800%" in there, plus the Amps. Amp mod probably shouldn't be stacking BEFORE the 800%. And please tell me the x17 doesn't mean the amp bonus applies to EVERY PELLET. Or the 800% to every pellet. Because holy no.

  • Knight_Knight_ Dead Dead Dead Registered User regular
    Yea, I might rethink my scoffing of Amp shields if it applies to every pellet of a shotgun blast. Holy crap.

    My 10k damage a shot fire SMG on my Maya looks... a bit pointless. Brb rerolling gunzerker :p

  • MarkWebsterMarkWebster Ottersaurus Rex OntarioRegistered User regular
    Up to Level 16 and by far the toughest thing I've come across:
    Mad Mike. He shoots at me and takes out all my shields and health in one shot, despite the fact he's 2 levels below me. At that point one bullet from anyone kills me. Frustrating how I'm down with 2 seconds of that fight, relying on my turret to kill something because I'm down.

    Mad Maw was the same, but at least it's a more enclosed space and ripping psycho's is easy with a shock SMG.

    Sounds like the high +dmg skills may be applying to individual pellets, as well as amp shields. Both of those need a look IMO, I'd assume the intent isn't to turn shotguns into the godweapon of boss assassination. Applying them once to the entire trigger pull seems FAR more in line with other weapon types as well as written presumed intent.

    I'm sure they'll rework how the different mods get applied and in what order, I can't see them wanting the toughest boss in the game being killed in one shot.

    Man, the Hyperion arena can eat a bowl of dicks. I don't know what it is about this place, but it just obliterates me randomly every damn time I try it.

    Man, the Hyperion arena can eat a bowl of dicks. I don't know what it is about this place, but it just obliterates me randomly every damn time I try it.

    Its nasty, not a lot of safe places. RPG loaders are ridiculous at killing you in the open. It also has the most waves of any round 5 in the game clocking in at 7! The last wave is one bad ass constructor, and one regular, at the same time with turrets overhead!

    Apparently I should save myself the frustration and just continue with the rest of the game then, since this thing has killed me half a dozen times already, and that last wave sounds like the worst thing ever.
