Short Fuse as we know is awesome and one of the gamest best DPS boosts, but how effective is it with Blast Master ?
I’ve been having fun with Mind Sweeper recently, but I haven’t been able to get an ideal Com before the Proving ground event expired. I hate Torgue cross promotion and that the mini grenades often killed me, but otherwise I’ve been loving it over the Bloodless/deathless build I’ve had since day 1.
Then came the recent IB buffs and I’ve been enjoying the Hammerdown nukes a ton, and blast master really increases thier damage to the point where they even work against armored enemies pretty well.
I dont really want to give up using non splash weapons completely but Short Fuse seems to work pretty well with blast master.
I might go back to mind sweeper , but keeping an open mind
Umm, not exactly off the top of my head but all blast master does is add 100% splash damage to your build so long as you wait 50 seconds and don’t reload.
It’s really easy to maintain 50 seconds without reloading.
Obvious answer is spec on the green tree and use high mag guns like Ogre
If you are using heavy weapons, you can really afford them to go to 0 ammo with Some for the Road or Forge. 0 ammo means no reloading chance.
Reloading isn’t really that a big deal. I’d been using BM and there are times I would have to reload. The penalty for me losing that 100% splash for 50 seconds is negligible if we’re talking about a choice between “Do I reload and lose the splash bonus so I can kill this enemy now” versus “I don’t reload and wait for this enemy to kill me instead”.
He uses a very specific set of weapons in his builds usually, I forget what they are but a lot of them won’t benefit enough from Blast Master + SF, and if I remember correctly he has a Blue Red build.
Here is my build and with 2 points in Redistribution I rarely run out on my shredifier . Butcher and Night Hawkin last good too, but my maggie maybe 10 seconds?
I was happy with mindsweeper too until IBs hammerdown nuke buffs…
