I use a Neo purely because it’s less effort to get, and haven’t had any situations where i’ve thought “I should get an Evo” as far as I can tell, the Evo has more capacity but the Neo recharges faster, I think that’s about it.

Both shields with Maliwan body, Maliwan battery and a Hyperion capacitator : same increase in health points and same elemental damage resistance, the only difference is about their standard shield values.

Hu … so it was really adressed to me … How that bad to give a complementary answer ?

FWIW, I just prefer Evo. The roughly 1/3 chance of it dropping from Hyperius is better, IMO, than the regular assigned drop rate from Spycho. Even if Hyperius is a longer kill, repeating Spycho takes time just to get there from the FT. Still usually a quicker farm per attempt, but nonetheless a better drop rate from Hyperius (if I understand correctly, there’s a virtually 100% chance for UVHM raids to drop one assigned Seraph item; Hyp has three to choose from, and it seems random which one you get).

Since @DeputyChuck has already responded(I hope you’re doing well Dadzerker) :innocent:

I’ll throw this little gem your way… :wink:

When you have the time, the vid is rather long. I’d recommend viewing the vid with Derch and Chuck. it’s very thorough and helpful.

I watched the first half of that last week. Good info, and with two of the game’s best.

Thanks folks, Sal looks to be back on track.

A run through Thousand Cuts resulted in an OK blue Absorb shield from Brick’s red chest (and a crappy green adaptive if I need it). My respec wasn’t quite as you guys suggested. I did set up Gunlust down to Down Not Out as suggested (love that skill, I totally agree that it’s a top priority in TVHM!). But I figured since I’ll have Money Shot, why not set up Rampage as a baby Deputy setup? The elegant brokenness of the Deputy build is what most appeals to me about Sal, after all. :slight_smile: And the Striker is a good gun for that build.

It took a bit of adjustment to get used to the dps gun being in the left hand, but it worked out very well. Opportunity completed, no deaths, some FFYLs but with DNO getting back up was quick and easy, and most importantly didn’t break Gunzerking. The few difficult patches were the result of not having enough points in Get Some and YKY, which a few more levels will fix.

I am familiar with Derch’s skill tree videos - watched those back in January, I think. Good stuff!

I’m sure you know this but just in case : you can switch mouse buttons through the “Gameplay” options. I had to.

And that’s awesome to hear you’re on track!

Yeah, I had to do that very early in Sal’s career. But I’ve been used to slag=left, dps=right all this time, now I’m shifting to slag=right, dps=left. Probably best that I’m making this shift at a time when the Rubi is still close to current level and does decent damage in its own right. :slight_smile:

And I’m seeing what you’ve been saying about how satisfying Jakobs Money Shot crits can be!
