Expedite in Amara's 4th skill tree isn't working?

Borderlands 3 Amara the Siren
#1

I been doing lots of tests with this augment and trying to make lots of builds with it however it doesn’t seem to be working at all. I just can’t seem to find the difference with it on or off no matter how many enemies I kill with my action skill. I can kill up to 8 and no difference in cooldown rate, go a long killing spree with phaseflare and still no difference.

So now I have to ask. Is this augment broken or something? Could I be doing something wrong?

I really was hoping this augment would give me another fun way to have action skill spam by getting kills rather than using phasezerker or topped off (or heck even golden rule) to get it back quicker. Plus making stuff like running longer cooldowns action skills more viable and fun even for harder content. (As little as that might be at the moment.)

If this is perhaps broken or something I hope it gets fixed soon because I sadly had a lot of other cool and fun builds riding on it.

Until then I don’t know if I wanna use it or not.

Has anyone been experiencing this issue or know what’s going on?

Does ascendant break expedite stacking?

Are you using Ascendant? It was working fine before last patch, but now it seems broken when using this skill.

I tried it with and without ascendant. Both had the same result sadly in no difference with cooldown.

Something definitely got broken with the patch. It worked consistently before the patch. Now it’s hit and miss.

Same man. I think it was working fine before the patch. I just know after the recent patch it’s not working properly at all no matter what I do. T_T

So many tests…so many…save and quits and repeating the process with each action skill…oh my…lol hope it gets fixed real soon T_T my build won’t work without it.

Indeed. Although mostly miss for me now. :sob: :sob: lol

Same here. My current build uses both melee and action skill damage, and expedite really helps it out. I sent a ticket regarding this, so I’d suggest you do the same in case you haven’t.

Already been done mate. :+1: It was the first thing I did after testing and posting about this. The sooner this is fixed the sooner I can create the dream builds I had planned :sweat_smile: :laughing:

(Turning melee into gun damage combine with phaseslam with good action skill damage to help with groundbreaker improving my melee and slam damage. BEST GUN/BRAWLER BUILD WITH SPLASH IN IT FOR ME PERSONALLY :laughing: )

That sounds hype. My build uses both a bladed pestilence, ice spiker, and a breaker Com with 1 point to find your center and 4 points to jab cross. Both the gun and artifact do action skill damage, and so it could procc a lot of Amara skills, including jab cross and expedite. Put that with the 300% Phaseslam weapon anoint, and i was able to basically Phaseslam into freaking infinity :joy:.

Shoot! I usually let my frozen heart with action skill start anoint to freeze people and so that icebreaker will buff my action skill damage, as well as rely on burn both ends, jab cross, and lastly build up rush stacks, or sometimes switch it up and rely on tempest to buff action skill damage (sometimes even switch shields and run black hole with action skill start anoint to get rid of shields to have an easier time securing kills along with a different relic like hot drop or radiation stone) but yours seems a lot more crazy powerful than mine :joy:

Paired critical thug with a action skill end melee damage anoint to buff my kensei’s damage for a better chance to activate combo breaker in those 6 secs (and yes I am aware criticals don’t buff kensei sadly) before I go on a melee spree. (STILL needing to test eventually if melee anoints buff kensei though!)

YOU HAVE A NICE BUILD! :smiley:

That’s sounds like a pretty good kensei set up. It’s a tricky Com to work with, but it can do crazy damage, especially if they are frozen. Have you tried the moxsy set up? I think it focuses on Phasecast and a lot of splash weapons.

And thanks man! Pestilence is no joke, especially with action skill damage buffs. I actually was able to run guardian takedown with it just fine. Here’s the bud if you wanna check it out! The skills and com are a little bit different from what i use now, but it still mostly similar.

Oooh. I been meaning to farm that raid just unsure I can do it compared to Maliwan Blacksite.

Also yes I seen Moxsy’s Kensei build video however I thought perhaps maybe green would help out more grabbing as many melee passive as possible. T_T but now without expedite I unsure if I could make the build work. RIP

Also coolio I’ll check it out. Been curious how Pestilence does action skill damage though.

Yeah, this raid is difficult, but it’s still doable with phaseslam. If you have glamour, you can use that to make the crystal sections much easier by making them your ally for a couple seconds. This will make the crystals charge more consistently.

And the pestilence does action skill damage through the nova that happens on reload. It will kill you if you aren’t using a red suit, so I use a brawler red suit with 200% Phaseslam melee. Helps a lot with groundbreaker shenanigans.

I never thought about that. SMART! I never really touch glamour didn’t seem like a useful skill but now that I’ve seen the possibilities of what you can do with it I just might try it out. (It might even help me through the raid heck)

Pestilence I’ll have to go farm for sometime though.

Hell yeah, my dude. Glamour is definitely they underrated, and the pestilence is a lot of fun to use.
