oh that’s a universal thing. i once got a 5s cooldown on fl4k for no reason and thought it was awesome. if you stack up on the siren you can basically max out cooldown potential but that’s organic to the game rather than a bug
no the exploit with phaszerker where you have phasegrasp and purposely miss which allows you to stack up your rush stacks to 99 then you unleash it on the enemy dealing super high damage and buffing all your weapon damage by like i think 99x3% so whatever that is
ironbear makes you invincible and gives you a seond healthbar
IB still sucks. An action skill that is only used for a few second of I frames and a second health bar to last 3 seconds.
agreeed it does still suck but it isnt the worst skill in the game
Invincible ? where? how ? if you mean the iframes when entering then yeah, i guess the character’s action skill and most important aspect of the theme of the character is all about 1.5 second of iframes.
Now seriously, second health bar, yeah, i guess, still nothing, (just 1 skill point in vampyr and its already better than using iron bear) cos it disapears in a second and you are back into a really bad position because you probably didnt have enough time to regen much in that time, its allways easier to just escape with moze than entering iron bear, and still thats not enough, IB is still the worst action skill in the game by far, there is no build possible to make it remotely viable right now, and if you dont invest heavily, and by that i mean almost all your skill points dedicated to reach those perks needed, then you have a skill that is less than useless, its harmfull for your character, that means that any other build that isnt fully invested in IB cant even make use of the skill apart from proccing anointeds by EXITING it.

That’s not really an exploit. It’s stupidity in the way Gearbox handled phasegrasp years after getting it right with phaselock.
Phaselock: unable to even press the action skill button unless the game registers that there is a valid target to hit, then when you hit the action skill it activates and that’s the ONLY time it activates.
Phasegrasp: the game doesn’t care if you have a valid target or not, it lets you activate phasegrasp. If it doesn’t land on anything valid, the skill still “goes off” and activates relevant “upon end of action skill” skills and then refunds you the cooldown if you didn’t hit anything.
They basically made the skill exploitable based on how they handled its functionality compared to BL2.
I would much rather have the BL2 functionality in how it activates and no current exploit because the skill in general feels clunkier than phaselock for these very reasons of how they changed the activation.

except invincibility frames second health bard and by the time youget out of ironbear your shield is back regenerated… yeah it has its uses which is to continue to fight no you are not better off running away moze has little movespeed… i have a level 50 moze with a full investment in the sor tree and use ib for tough situations when my shield is low or whatever it is really helpful
it is an exploit you shouldnt be able to get 99 stacks of rush… normally you are limited to 10 and maybe 15 or 20 depending on how heavily you are invested
phasecast on the other hand just misses most of the time and does nothing has a decently long cooldown and it has this long windup time. It has no secondary use unlike ironbear no invincibility frames and unlike ironbear youare not garunteed to get any damage while ironbear you can at least get off one shot before it goes down again.
Its not an exploit as you can get s ■■■■ ton of do harm stacks on phasecast without glitching the cooldown either.
Phasegrasp itself is what’s flawed with being able to spam it nonstop and build those stacks and it’s apparent when a class mod made for phasecast sees much more use with phasegrasp
Phasecast is much more useful than IB.
i already proved you wrong no point in arguing anymore
I’d like to point out that Rush stacks and Do Harm stacks are completely different. Rush Stacks are capped at 25, and you can never get more than that. Consuming Rush Stacks by casting your Action Skill generates Do Harm stacks, which cap at 99. The Phasezerker only gives Weapon Damage based on Rush Stacks, not on Do Harm Stacks, so you only get a +75% Weapon Damage Bonus, not a +297% Damage Bonus. And Do Harm stacks only increase Action Skill damage; they do nothing for Weapon Damage.

What? Do you even read the names of people replying to you?
Also, for future growth as a human, you should really learn how to conduct a proper conversation. Stating “I’m right, you’re wrong.” Isn’t going to get you anywhere or lend anyone to support your argument.

see above with ib you get invincibility frames and a second health bar you also get some garunteed damage even if that damage is dreadful you also can regenerate your shield in the amount of time ironbear returns. I appologise for sounding so rude. I didnt read your name and thought you were that one person who just wouldnt listen and was convinced ib is the worst skill in the game. With phasecast you are not garunteed to hit you deal abysmal damage and miss most of the time with a long cooldown
This forum is for talking about games, not other forum users.
i did some testing and it is the rush stacks that go up to 99 not the do harm stacks i have no points in do harm and got my rush to 99 through this exploit
