Thanks for performing the tests so quickly!
Why would it be irrelevant? The Unforgiven also has ~12% more damage, and the reduced fire rate doesn’t really matter, as you have to wait for him to finish flinching. And yeah, I was just listing the best.
No doubt the UF would be the best. Its just that it probably won’t significantly outperform a similarly parted Jakobs Masher with barrel4/5. Not sure how a barrel4 masher would work. Not sure if Mord can mitigate the accuracy loss but its damage is on par with the UF. IIRC Knoxx takes +500% damage on a critical hit. Given (almost) all crit modifiers work additively in this game and Mord has Deadly, a UF would deal x920% on a critical hit while a regular masher would deal x820%. Still a decent difference, but not as great as compared to most flesh type enemies. Speed of kill is probably more down to RNG of GC procs.
I was under the impression that those coms only boosted DoT damage, nice to know that isn’t the case.
Yup, it boosts both the corrosive dot as well as the corrosive impact damage. This stat modifier is multiplicative to Mordy’s other buffs, which makes it pretty potent. Its a pretty important class mod for Mordy because the Lance have very high enemy crit, which reduces the potency of additional crit from Deadly and from his top guns (UF, Snipers). The multiplicative elemental buff as well as a hefty buff to gun damage from Killer makes Mordy the premier Lance killer in the game - especially when paired with a mag5 Defiler. If you are willing to make the trek, the Defiler with this com pretty much melts MINAC in seconds.
I just felt that if the Anarchy didn’t preform well, the Chopper wouldn’t either. I tested it since you mentioned it and it killed him in 13.5 seconds, but it was the same probably as the snipers on Lilith. You’re going to use 90% of your ammo pool per kill. But it was faster then the Bulldog, which killed him in 15 seconds.
I had seen a pretty insane kill where someone had killed Knoxx in under 10 seconds with the Chopper. He used a Patriot Com - though in theory the Heavy Gunner buffing gun damage should be better. Ammo consumption is not really an issue for Roland given how ridiculous Supply Drop is in solo play.
I don’t have the best BL1 aim, but the Bulldog does better just because you can keep it, and land all of your shots, on crit. I tried barrel 5 and 2 on the Torgue btw.
I was thinking more along the lines of barrel5/4, though if it was significantly slower than the Bulldog I don’t think changing from barrel 5 to 4 would make any sort of meaningful difference. Abit unfortunate given how crazy strong this build is for mobbing.
Hmm, if you don’t mind, could you test the following weapons:
- Corrosive Penetrator on Assassin Mordecai. Should be as fast as Lilith. Mord has lower DPS but much bigger magazine size and marginally better reload speed.
- barrel4 mat3 Jakobs Masher on Gunfighter Mordecai.
- Nemesis Invader on Assassin/Gunslinger Mordecai. Never found this pearlescent before, so I am not sure if the additional projectiles can crit, or if they are buffed by the Assassin com (the base procs are shock). I would expect it to perform pretty poorly even if the projectiles do crit because of its techpool running dry though.
Thanks!
