thanks
Sal is arguably the most capable of soloing any of the raid bosses though, right?
Nah, not really. It depends more on player skill than the actual character. Sure Sal can Pimp/nuke everything, but Axton can tear through Hyp’s health with a Tediore chuck build that doesn’t require specific weaponry.
the pimp/nuke build for sal is brutally easy to get, the level of the pimp you have really doesnt matter and getting a nuke isnt all that hard, its very good for doing most of the raids, harder to pull off doing the basic game itself using a pimp/nukem build without using moxxi’s creamer
I just did Vora with Gaige- but 400 stacks of Anarchy and a Redundant Shock Fibber help a lot as well… 
Hi, people!
Can someone answer me if the raid bosses in Vault Hunter Mode are harder to beat than if we face them on Normal mode?
Sry for the question, I’m kinda new to Borderlands.
Terramorphous will always be level 52-ish whether you play in NVHM or TVHM. So, he’s definetly easier in TVHM! 
The other raids (as far as I know) are scaled to around 32 in Normal mode. In UVHM, they’re all scaled to your level. I’ve only done the other raids once in Normal, so I can’t really say much about it, but IIRC they were quite easy in Normal compared to TVHM.
When you’re at level 50, the enemies are a bit tougher in general while you have more skill points to spend. Which in turn makes your char more powerful. With the proper gear and build, you shouldn’t have too much trouble with any of them.
I thought raid bosses can only be fought in TVHM… unless I forgot something.
They can be fought in all modes, but Terra will never be below 50, so he’s pretty much impossible in NVHM.

Yeah that’s what I mean
I think the character specific forums will help you out more as each characters strategy against raid bosses is different. I would search around there and see what you could find.
Hyperius was easy at op0. Not so much at op6 though i sometimes succeed. Pete is always easy if you nade jump up to first ledge. I havent done terra op at all.
Just to clarify… The other raids will be around level 32-34 if you fight them in Normal. It’s only Terra that’s 52.
Thanks for the information, people!
Which ones?!
With Zer0 OP8 Hyperius is easy to kill in 30 seconds.
Terra is impossible in Normal if you are at level 30-35 is the way to phrase it.
He’s actually easier to beat in Normal than TVHM because he has less health despite being on the same level.
Same thing applies to the enemies in the Bar Brawl and Torgue Arena round 3s.
You get the same rewards/drops in Normal, may as well do these fights in that mode once you are leveled high enough (end of TVHM)

Are you saying they have less health just because of the game mode? Even though for example, Terramorphous the Invincible would always be lv 52
In a word, yes- that is exactly what he’s saying. The only drawback is that loot will be locked to the highest level available in normal and if it’s like the Ancient Dragons that means level 35…
This needs clearing up. On the subject of Terra, just to be specific…
The loot that Terra drops is level 50, in Normal or in TVHM, and the loot dropped is no different.
His health is less in Normal than in TVHM, because it’s the mode that makes it harder, not his level. Therefore, if your after heads, skins, shields etc. it’s easier to do it in Normal for pure speed, depending on your class and equipment.
