This is the correct answer and if you don't farm up 600 stacks before venturing into Pandora then you're playing her wrong.

EDIT: Oh yeah if anyone has a purple Bullet Witch mod for Maya then I'll trade it for a level 50 legendary. I'm not that into her legendary and have an idea for a class setup I want to try out with her.

I have both Maya and Gaige at 50 and I enjoy Maya more. I'm a big fan of elemental damage in this game and she makes it SO GOOD. The thing with Gaige is that I haven't found a build where I don't feel like I'm missing out on some really good skills, where with Maya the only thing I'd like to add to my build is Sweet Release.

I feel the exact opposite way. I tried to play my Maya as a CQC powerhouse (thoughtlock because cataclysm sucks dick past PT1) and kept dying. When I do the same with Gaige I just murder everything. It really synergizes with my run and gun in your face playstyle.

You can always do what I did: start up TVHM and then warp to Oasis at the first fast-travel point. The Scarlett DLC scales to your level, but it won't scale past level 30 in playthrough 1 and since you're probably at level 33 or so that poo poo is boring. I had a fun time doing Scarlett at level 35-38 in TVHM and now I've got a whole bunch of guns for the main story playthrough.

I know at least Laney still appears regardless of the quest's completion status in playthrough one; I can't imagine her behavior would change in TVHM.

Hm. I tried playing this with my brother, but we only played the beginning bits, and he got bored really quickly. Said he didn't understand a thing of what was going on, and he hated the fact that he had to read things to understand what was going on (which I found strange, considering the amount of time he spends with World of Warcraft, but whatever). Maybe it's because he played Zer0 as a sniper, I don't know. Sniping always seemed a bit boring to me. But I really like this game, and I'd like to play it with him, so... Any ideas to what I can do to entice him to play playstation games with me? Play ahead a bit and get him in at a slightly later stage?

To be fair, though, I'm not a big fan of how much of the view you lose in splitscreen either.

Get him to try gunzerker. Specifically, have him try at the bare minimum a level five gunzerker. It's great since it doesn't require much reading to get right as opposed to deception or sniping in general. If he doesn't find that fun then obviously he doesn't understand fun.

Huh, I'll have to try that out. I went down the middle tree first and then the right tree because I found a mod that buffed Hard To Kill and Juggernaut, which are the only two skills I have points in in that tree right now (lvl 41 here). If I can find a mod that adds to Lay Waste this looks awesome.
You're looking for an Unhinged Hoarder class mod. The best part is that the mods that add points to Lay Waste usually add points to Filled To The Brim. This means you get bigger mags, which increases the extra damage done by Money Shot. Add all that to the fact that they usually also feature a decent Team Ammo Regen stat (mine's currently at 2.3, whatever that means. I'd say 2.3 bullets per second, but it seems sniper rounds take longer to regen than, say, pistol rounds by a bunch) and any buddies you play with will also love you.

Unhinged Berzerker mods also add to Lay Waste (as well as Last Longer and Yippie Ki Yay), but with a cooldown reduction to Gunzerk instead of the ammo regen. Great if you want to Gunzerk for loving ever (which is also awesome).

This post convinced me to get the DLC. I'm stuck at level 38 gunzerker and on TVHM I can't get past Flynt. I get him down to half if I'm lucky, I guess my weapons probably suck but nothing better has been dropping for me so far. So now I'll run through the DLC instead!

Also wondering if someone knows; if you use a golden key in normal mode, does the loot scale above 30? I haven't dared try one in normal just in case it's a waste, and being stuck on Flynt I can't use one in TVHM yet.

Golden keys scale to your level no matter what. You can be level 50 in playthrough 1 and still get level 50 guns from the chest.

I'm going to go against the grain and say that Sanctuary keys are better used as a person is leveling up. At level 50 almost all of the best in slot items are orange and you can't get those from the Sanctuary chest.

I tend to agree. I'm nowhere near 50 yet but using the chest while leveling up can help you out of a tight spot if the right items spawn (shield with elemental resist, +900 health, and under 1.3 recharge delay? Yes, I'll take that and plow through Eridium Blight when I was in FFYL every fifteen seconds otherwise, thank you very much!).

Would it be a safe assumption that the next DLC will probably increase the level cap? Because if that is the case I think I'd rather wait to download Cpt. Scarlett until then so I get more levels and loot for completing it.

Also, I wish there was a relic that said something like, "increases the drop rate of legendary items 0.5%" It wouldn't even have to ACTUALLY work, but just the words would give me hope to keep farming, as right now it's frustratingly hopeless to get any weapon.

They might not be ideal for soloing Giantdingus the Unbelievable for ultimate DPS gamebreaker cannons or whatever, but poo poo, who cares?
