Anybody set up for TVHM Flesh-Stick boosting on 360 wanna help me max out my Salvador? I'm at level 41, so it shouldn't take too long.

Give me about 5 minutes to get my 360 fired up and my Siren loaded, if you haven't gotten help already. GT is same as my username here.

Thank you, sir.

shmorky and I have both downloaded it, but it's not letting us access it or play it. Is some video or quest supposed to pop up when you first load a game after installing it? Nothing is happening.

It will pop up when you fast travel to the new location (Badass Crater of Badassitude).

Does anybody on 360 have a level 50 Afterburner they'd be willing to dupe me?

Does the dlc lift the level cap? Me and my partner have been less and less motivated to play since hitting the cap, loads of quests that I can't be bothered doing if the most efficient thing to do is run past everyone.

Nope, cap is still 50.

Jeez, Krieg. Why are you so strong? Maybe it's just because it's level 61 against TVHM enemies, but almost a 2 million damage melee hit? Sick.

+50% melee damage when shields are gone from Empty the Rage.
+1.5% melee damage per stack of Salt the Wound (up to 20 stacks).
+250% melee damage from Silence the Voices.
+100% melee damage from Release the Beast.

Yeah, that's an insane amount of melee damage.

Imagine if he had a shield like Hide of Terramorphous.

haveblue posted:

The math multiplies the base chance, it's not addition. So if all your gear and badass ranks give you a 30% chance of elemental effect to start, a skill adding +100% brings you up to 60% and +200% brings you up to 90%.

So, you're saying that taking all of those skills in the Mania tree won't increase my melee damage by 430%?

Haven't played this game all year and I'm in the mood to murder billions of dudes as Krieg later tonight or in the morning. What DLC should I grab and has anything major changed after the patches?

They added a third playthrough, which increases the level cap to 61.

I'm taking a bit of a break, but I've already got my Krieg up to level 4, with the XP bar about half-full. Soon, the rampage will begin! :black101:

After giving it some thought, I've decided to revise my earlier planned build:

It just wasn't going up for me at all, had it for about 2 hours and I didn't see the buff symbol come up once. Weird.

It seems that without taking the Boiling Blood skill, you lose the stacks just as quickly as you gain them.

There's a good idle conversation between his inner voice and regular voice about only killing the deserving. Krieg owns. I wish they'd add backstory to him and Gaige into the DLCs, even if it's just another echo challenge.

I'm pretty sure they have mentioned making a short movie about Krieg's backstory.

Thanks to tagging along with higher-level goons, I was able to skip most of TVHM with Krieg. Now, I've beaten it, and every enemy is 10 levels higher than me. :suicide:

SUPER NEAT TOY posted:

Yeah the Psycho has a lot of weird melee interactions. He gets some sort of kind of noticeable melee damage bump per lvl up regardless of skill point allocation, and using a weapon with a melee attachment overrides it. At a high enough level you do less damage using a bladed weapon as you would without it.

Only if the melee bonus is 50%, guns like Law and Captain Blade's Rapier still do more damage.

Could someone explain how most bladed weapons somehow make Krieg do less damage, but Law and the Rapier make him do more? Because I juat cannot wrap my head around this.

Most melee weapons give a 50% bonus, Law gives a 100% bonus, and the Rapier gives a 200% bonus.

If you want the excitement of big damage and not being able to hit anything, I recommend the Ordered Chaos tree (right most). Having 400 stacks of Anarchy is amazing.

Of course, investing in "Close Enough" from the Best Friends Forever tree helps compensate for your lack of accuracy.

Also I really hope that whoever designed the inevitable Dragon Keep raid boss is the same person that designed Pyro Pete and not somebody who decided on the dogshit mechanics for every other raid boss.

It's not the same person. Apparently, the other DLCs were outsourced, but Dragon's Keep is all Gearbox. And the raid boss is a whole bunch of dragons.
