Daveiezero:

  1. When you’re stealthed, the “1” skill will be different breaking stealth;on pistols, this is a sort of mini-unload.
  2. The Init on Crit Trait is a fantastic filler to help you get more unloads out.
  3. In larger groups (big world events to kill 1 champion come to mind), make sure the target has 25 stacks of Vuln; if not, use “2” to help out
  4. Shooting through fields like Dark (from Shadow Refuge or others) makes every shot you fire steal life and heal you
  5. In PvE at least, get good at noticing large cast animations and stopping them with a quick “4”
  6. For incredibly dangerous melee mobs, the Blinds offered by the “5” are fantastic; especially because nearby allies will combo through it for Blind as well, allowing you to carefully time its use and Blind-lock, at times.

Hope that’s some help. We’re not all damage, you know.

Underpowered Traits and Skills

I don’t want to comment on most of this, as I largely don’t care about ‘nerfs and buffs’. But this point drives me bonkers:

Random isn’t fun

This is flat wrong. Random is very, very fun. It’s why slot machines exist, and in fact dominate most casinos. It’s why Roulette and Craps exist, despite eating money from the players.

Random is quite fun. Please don’t go on a witch-hunt to get fun taken out of the game because you don’t find it useful. As has been pointed out, there are plenty of other choices in that exact slot that you’d rather take, so please take them and let scrubs like me to take our “bad” but fun choices.

Seem pretty fine to me. It’s a choice: pay Gems for more bag slots, or Gold for more space per bag, or ideally, both.

There’s also this wonderful button called “Deposit Collectibles”, salvage kits, and waypoint travel that can take you within stone’s throw of a vendor, on the off-chance your bags are really that full.

Seems like a good way to make players choose instead of just handing everyone max bag space. It should be a choice, and it is. Please also note that you can easily share money down to alts, if not the bags themselves. So while your first character might be more destitute, the later ones will likely be better off.

I think that’s absolutely silly.

You asked.

Can money be made in crafting?

Some of the really high level Rings can sell pretty well, even 0.8-1.0g over cost.

Where can you craft, besides capital cities?

Your own Borderlands + Eternal should have one.

What are your favorite slot skills?

I’m using Shadow Refuge to help friends when they’re in need of being revived and I put the trait into it that grants then regen when I stealth them so its a nice little combo. I alternate my last two slots.

I have such a hard time taking Shadow Refuge off my bar. With Pistols, the Life Leech from this is insane, often like a second heal-skill. Or the general utility of being able to stand in it for ages in stealth, if you really need to hide.

Survivability vs Damage, where's the trade?

I’ve just been bringing a bunch of blinds and other control. Not running Shortbow has been key to this, so there’s definite control abilities on both swaps as well as utility skills.

Not many weapons for Thief.

I found the Engineer to be: “equip grenades/bombs → win”.

I find the Thief to be interesting. I started really liking the shortbow, and now I hate it. I’m loving running D/D and P/P in PvE, and I wish I would spend the time to get better at fully utilizing S/P; I think it has a lot of potential.

But really, if you don’t like it, feel free to go play something else. We won’t stop you.

How to block??

Certain abilities allow you to block. Guardians have a psuedo-passive ability to block once in a while. There’s a buff called Aegis that does this.

Post Legendary Weapons Pictures Here

From what has been gathered… a legendary takes 100% exploration, 500 pvp tokens, 525k karma, a lot of gold, and getting the precursor weapons / luck.. So yeah I doubt anyone has one yet.

I have one

So, you post in a thread asking for pictures with “I have one”?
