Farming loot midgets in the Exploitation Preserve is so much easier with the Creature Dome. Last night I just went in there and went out so it would save my entry point after I killed the midgets and it's saving tons of time.

Yes, but don't forget to collect the slag vials in the main quest in that area! If you complete the mission without completing the optional objective, it will be impossible to save at the Creature Dome, even if you save inside the area! This was confirmed by a Gearbox-guy on the official forums here: http://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/showthread.php?t=265624. I have to run all the way from the start every time :argh:

Sweet. A whatever-level assassin mod is fine since they don't scale much from 50-61. I should be on after 8:30 CST tonight. I'm going to give the character an honest shot at being fun as I think part of the reason why I don't like playing him is because he has poo poo gear and I haven't found an interesting build yet. Going to start with as many bladed guns as possible with melee/crit skills.

First time I've seen Donkey Mong in forever and he drops a Badaboom. Shame I'm on my Siren and I'm 59, but still it felt awesome. That's something I miss when I'm farming the loot midgets. I like the feeling of farming a boss in particular because I want a specific weapon, and finally seeing it drop is so rewarding. It's not the same with the treasure room and loot midgets. You go in, you wait to see what dropped, and the majority of the time it's poo poo I don't even want. But I'll keep it anyway because it's a legendary or pearl, and it will clog up space in my backpack or bank.

I don't miss killing Hunter Hellquist 1,000,000,000 times for a legendary that ended up getting nerfed. However, I do love it when a random legendary drops, even though most of the time it's a goddamn flakker.


I'm hoping to try out that SATURN robot thing tommorow night since everyone tells me it's quite the challenge. However, I think my double-shielded-slagged turrets will wreck his poo poo. Level 61 commando is one smooth motherfucker.

Saturn doesn't give a poo poo about your slag turrets, so have fun with that.

Every time I've fought Saturn I've stood behind the house and shot him, he never really comes over there. One time my friend was behind the house and I went on the rock behind him and shoot him from back there. When he gets weak you can run up to the top of the rock, jump off and slam-dunk a Torgue into his back.

I farmed blue the other night for a 61 fabled tortoise so I disagree on this. It's mostly just the crystalisks on this one though.

Admittedly I've never seen Blue drop a drat thing, so yeah I see what you mean.

Also found a fun glitch in Sanctuary. If you kill an Armoured Skag, the rider rat which falls off can't be slagged for some reason. It's not really fun, although having Phaselock is making them a lot easier to deal with.

Adregan asked for my siren build/mod/weapons, because apparently someone was impressed with how much damage I did. So here it is.

http://www.bl2skills.com/siren.html#550001000050055103005500500551

As for gear, I use a Bee, Proactive Bitch (level 58), and e-tech relic which provides 29.3% more SMG damage, as well as 29.3% more FFYL time, and 135% second wind health.

I also use a Legendary Siren mod, which provides +37% cooldown rate, +28% gun damage, and +5 in Ward, Accelerate, Mind's Eye, Flicker, and Foresight. And a movespeed bonus while using Phaselock.

If I use my phaselock, it will suck enemies in, and slag the entire group in the process, allowing me to destroy anything that could be slagged.

If you're going for a high DPS SMG Siren, you should get a Cat mod. 99% extra SMG Damage over 28% gun damage any day.

But yeah, that's a similar build to what I'm using. SMG Siren is the best. I dumped a point in Blight Phoenix just for wings to be honest though.

That brings up a question. Does the 61 variety give more skill points or is it just the other attributes (Cooldown/Gun damage) that get increased? I'm 5 levels away from hunting one down myself and if it doesn't add more than 5 points to the skills I may just stick with the 50 version unless there's a huge difference in the other attributes.

There isn't any difference in skill point bonus for level 61 legendary class mods, and the stat bonuses aren't always better. I'm looking at a level 50 assassin mod that's arguable identical to a 61 aside from 1%+/- in a couple of stats.

Cat mod > Legendary Siren mod for pure DPS on SMGs, but Legendary mod gets you some better cooldown and non-SMG damage. Pretty good either way.

Any other zeros out there have any tips besides just firing a badaboom at your feet?

Unless they can force saves every time you pick up or drop an item, I don't see how that's possible. I think when it comes to gear, they care more about people creating horribly broken items and sharing those.

I had a rifle that shot 50 grenades that split into even more, all did something like 100k each and bounced. It was hilarious but terribly broken. The guy that made it was duping it for anyone that happened to join his public game. People that make and manage to hang on to game breaking poo poo like that might be a problem... not those of us who use Borderlands as hoarding therapy. haha
