I loved playing at Athena! I love how the shield can be used offensively, as well as an 'Oh ****!' escape plan.

yeah it's a cool action skill, very useful against hard hitting bosses "oh you want to hit me with your death ray do you? that's cute...."

but outside of the action skill, and as seems to be the same case with nisha (especially as nisha's action skill doesnt protect you) it just seems there's something off with the leveling.

either that or i was spoiled rotten coming into this after a gaige playthrough because she's slightly op.....

Gaige is totes OP!

Just hit 32 with Krieg - Bloodsplosion is a thing of beauty

37 still on my Gunzerker, not sure where I should be farming now.

I can find terramorphous but no where near the level or gear needed.

move on to TVHM you'll struggle to level up anymore in Normal!

I've heard scary tales of that! (Assuming that's a new game plus or difficulty mode?)

I have been hunting chubby and tubby enemies for loot, but I think bosses are my best bet. Bunker especially.
.

Edit: All is OK. plugged in a controller and got it up.

I have 0 DLC. Any I should get?

Psymonkee · 5 Aug 2017 at 15:31

All of it! Except the skins. Add me on Steam (link below) and I'll hold your hand into TVHM which you correctly guessed is New Game+

Digital X · 5 Aug 2017 at 15:38

Sent, and thanks. I greatly enjoyed BL1 on 360 and haven't even got 100 hours on this. I remember "cheesing" the armory in BL1 for infinite loot.

Been playing BL2 with all DLC on PS4 Pro with my wife in co-op non stop, Borderlands is still so much bloody fun. Doing 3rd playthru now on UVHM

Doing THVM now, it's so hard.

Psy, might not be on that much as I've been ill since October and it comes in waves, so if i leave randomly that's why.

That's what she said

Right guys, i'm going to roll a new character on Borderlands 2, which should I go for Gaige or Krieg? Not played either before.

Also what do you think are the best playable characters? Im enjoying Maya at the moment, but not really experimented with the others.

Psymonkee · 11 Aug 2017 at 13:15

Depends what you want really. Krieg is very much suited to a brawler style zero ****s given and benefits massively from being a suicidal idiot.

Gaige can be trickier if you use Anarchy as you have to get used to NOT re-loading. Very powerful if you can get the hang of it.

Best imo is Krieg but I'm slightly biased. Sal gets boring, Zer0 is hard work, Axton is just dull but Maya is a lot of fun.

Bazzards · 11 Aug 2017 at 13:19

Cheers Psymonkee, I do have moments retardation so will probably go with Krieg.

Will let you know how i get on. Having a heavy sesh on this evening. Should be fun.

I'm having a lot of fun playing as Zer0, although he can be a bit fragile at times. Been focussing on sniping mainly.

Bazzards · 11 Aug 2017 at 13:53

I've yet to hit the 72 level cap on any character. The closest I have is with Maya at level 55, need to persist.

Psymonkee · 11 Aug 2017 at 13:57

Beware that Krieg is very tough early with a decent skill available at level 15/16 (left hand tree, Blood Bath) and then easy mode from Level 31 onwards with the exception of flying enemies

Bazzards · 11 Aug 2017 at 14:25

So with krieg, persistence will be key. gotcha.

Digital X · 11 Aug 2017 at 14:48

Just a heads up, don't forget to follow Borderlands on Twitter for the chest keys they give out. I had forgotten about them for years.
