Normal Mode Zer0 Build

Any time. Always here to derail a thread by inserting the most nonsensical non sequitur possible. BTW, have you seen the “What did you do…” threads? They’re my favorite reading material. And how about that weather?.

Idk much about zero, but I’m glad my Axton guide helped you

Also, janderson (who was before my time but I know enough of his stuff to have the utmost respect) did a skill and leveling guide :

DDD - Zer0's Skills for You! Zer0 the Assassin

[size=16]This is meant to be a guide for new players to break down Zer0’s skills.[/size] [image] This thread is a part of BlutFatal’s Dear Doctor Dumbass: A guide to min/maxing If you disagree with anything I have in here or have anything to add, links, math, opinion, anything let me know and I will gladly update and change it. Terrible: These skills are a waste no matter what and should always be skipped Sub-par: These skills either are just bad or did not scale well. You might be …

Unfortunately, the forum changed its format and messed up a lot of once beautifully formatted work - it’s a bit hard to read now.

Note - Unforseen pre 2015 patch was terrible which is why the guide says as much. It works as advertised now.

Whoa! It’s you! You’re like my sensei, man!

Your guide was the perfect intro for me, having just really dove into the game. The way you linked to builds at different levels and explained why - it was great. Thanks a million!

Obi_is_not_Dead · 2019-01-19T23:44:57.199Z

Thank you.

Welcome to the family. You will enjoy your stay here for sure.

Thank you!

I’ve found that below OP levels, 2 is plenty. But depends how you use it.

I gun for 5/5 as fast as I can and when I reach it do a M.Bison “Yes… Yeeeeesssss” in my mind.

Not that it matters, but I always imagined it as Paul O’Thead (not my real name, I’m in Gamer Protection). Paulo is how I hear it most often.

Jefe:

To be honest I always kind of assumed it was Paulo T. Head. Which thinking about it makes very little sense I like my name because it has an equal number of consonants and vowels!

Lammas · 2019-01-21T17:03:51.828Z

Your choise of name still confuses me.

paulothead · 2019-01-21T17:34:07.665Z

It’s just the default username the forum gave me based on my email. It’s an old email I thought was clever in high school. The thought process went something like this:
If there was a guy named “Paul O’Thead”, and he signed his name with only his first initial it would read “P. O’Thead”, and wouldn’t signing official documents as “pothead” be pretty silly?" Basically, I was just trying to think of a way to identify myself as such without explicitly saying it. It’s pure laziness that lets it live on. On a side note, this was way more talk about it than I had ever expected, and now I am wondering about everyone else’s tags.

Lammas · 2019-01-21T17:39:06.569Z

I mean Kuolemanlaakso’s name. That mean “Valley of death” or “Death valley” in finnish.

As for mine it mean “Sheep” in finnish. I also use Combolammas in multiple forums because at the time I picked it Lammas was already on use on our IRC server so I decided to stick something fighting game oriented in front of it (have been playing those more or less competitively for over 15 years now).

This is kinda off-topic tho.

paulothead · 2019-01-21T17:40:42.106Z

I actually think that @Kuolemanlaakso said that’s exactly why that is his tag. And this is off topic, so I think I may start a thread there and see who bites.

Carlton_Slayer · 2019-01-22T22:33:17.812Z

Mine is the name of my 2nd ever D&D character who happens to be a CG human male Ranger

David_Ayy · 2019-01-26T21:44:17.805Z

At level 16 you can unlock B0re; whether you’re going melee or gun Zer0 I would recommend that skill before going after Death Mark. (http://bl2skills.com/assassin.html#505001000000000000000000000000)

At endgame you may want a cooldown or Bone of Ancients relic - more Decepti0n means more kunai and damage dealt plus less damage taken by you.

David_Ayy:

B0re

I don’t find it’s useful enough for most of the story. I always respec for it for the Bunker and Saturn though.

Lammas · 2019-01-27T08:28:20.593Z

I tend to pick it up in TVHM after having reached Death Blossom in NVHM. You can get it before TVHM Bunker fight. NVHM bunker and saturn are kinda pushovers and besides, it’s nice to fight them regularly at least once while leveling

Kuolemanlaakso · 2019-01-31T12:48:19.077Z

I’ve never managed to make it work with Saturn, maybe I’m just inexperienced at it.

Jefe · 2019-01-31T17:52:10.367Z

The Pimp is the only gun that I’ve had any consistent luck with. Even then, I’ve only one-shot it a handful of times.

But I’ve managed to strip big chunks with Lyuda, Tidal Wave, what else? Honestly I can’t remember what else I’ve used.

It’s something I’ve been meaning to test for a year - which guns excel at Bore-ing Saturn. I’ll bump it up in my to do list.

Lammas · 2019-02-05T01:35:17.220Z

I’ve never managed to oneshot a single Saturn. Even if you don’t you make hilariously large dents into his healthbar when you Bore his turrets.
