Axton started UVHM. Picked up TVHM Sandhawk while I was still there since all it took was turning the mission in. Should be good on Flynt. I found a nice green 0 fuse, longbow fireburst too.
Did shielded favors just because and thought I might as well try rolling once for a Ker-Blaster since that would be very good. Rushed to the top of the Blackburn cove barely killing any enemies. Realized I don’t have anything in slag but got about half of Midgemongs rides health down and when he jumped to that one balcony I thought I’d toss some firebursts there to keep him company. That slim ropefence has a wider hitbox than it seems and I ended up tossing 2 right in front of my face…
Axton found himself standing on a lone cliffside with Claptrap doing whatever it is Claptraps do before my shield was fully down.

tried spawning Vermi…didn’t happen.
Picture isn’t as good as I thought it’d be. if the Super Badass Varkid wasn’t shooting acid turds at me, you’d be able to see all the Badass Varkids I was kiting around.

Frustrated with Bloodwing in the low level NVHM challenge, and decided I’d start a new Axton just to satisfy my sidequest compulsion. AxTNT (I’m aiming for a Geminuke build with an emphasis on Torgue and Tediore gear (not exclusive, though) this time) got a Hornet from Knuckledragger (first time on the mission kill for me), and did all of the southern shelf sides. Stopped just before grabbing Clappy for the sprint to Flynt.

I didn’t pick up the challenge where i had left off. My Axton is sitting at level 14 and at the WEP. battling level 20 loaders to get that damn door to open was frustrating. I saved/quit knowing I’d have to take on those loaders and stalkers just to keep progressing, but at level 14 with a level 11 shield, I’m not going to make it. lol so, I’m kinda brainstorming while doing other activities on Pandora as to how I’m going to get through that area? I know I need an upgraded shield, but with no money from all the dieing, this is turning out to be rather difficult. lmao

I didn’t lose all my money to respawns until the SBA loader before the LLM room. I was wearing a low level (I want to ay 9, but it could be 10) shock spike shield and invested to the hilt in Ward, so that worked out okish. I even tried to glitch outside of the arena, but emptied my ammo pools and made barely a dent because every time she lands her health comes back when you do the glitch. Mayasochism may not get past there, although I’m sure my stubborn self will try again.

that will be brutal. I haven’t really attempted to get through there yet. I am assuming I will need a better shield. most of my money loss is due to keeping up with onlevel shields from the vendor. I had a handful of deaths on that Thresher that holds the beacon. that damn thing had my number. couldn’t glitch it from behind the buildings. it kept landing hits on me. I couldn’t hide from it. It took sheer tenacity on my part just to pass thru it. RNG landed on my favor on my last run. The thresher was aggro’d by the Loaders on that particular run so I could just unload my level 9 DPUH on it. lol that was lucky. Then, getting to overlook and the travel station back up was insane. I kept dieing…so I ended up getting into a vehicle by the bar, and got through it that way. so cheesy. lol

DahlaMia made it through Lair of infinite Agony with much troubles. Painstakingly long and tedious Definitely my best run there and my best Tiny Tina’s dlc run overall so far.
The Bearcat served its purpose. Not with the Skeleton mages thou. These proved once again that Sirens are Master of Mobbing. (MoM. That’s a thng now. 
) As they almost never appear more than one at a time. One easy Phaselock and poof! They’re gone! The Crystal Skeletons were more a nuisance this time. Only two respawn overall. Both to my stupidity.
I know there’s “Thing you haven’t done yet” thread but is there a “Thing you just did for the first time”? Not once but twice I passed Tina’s 
puzzles on first try. The moving platforms that I did on my first journey in Bunkers & Badasses. Only to fail miserably every, single, time, since. So ok, that wasn’t truly a first.
But that one was. One first try! Yeah. Finally!!! 
So happy I saved a clip. Left in the room after it. Not pretty. Should had got rid of these archers way sooner. (Missed an easy shot too. 
) But I made thru alive. 
So yeah. 25% done on my way from 71 to 72. Whole point with this… “toon” was not having to farm. Might end it on a different note and farm for some of Tina’s grenades. Sandhawks are getting low for The Sorcerer and new ones are available. Or at least farmable by other characters at 72.
Or I’ll just start Cptn. Scarlet.

When you get to level 16, farm the crap out of the red chest that’s by Old Slappy. That chest saved my butt with decent on-level gear (and plenty of crappy gear to sell off at the vendors at the start of the map to rebuild my funds!)

Did a bunch of runs in WEP on the LLMs looking for a Legendary Psycho COM. No luck. Was only getting one or two relics each run, not the Blood I need and no Legendary drops. The last run I got only 2 LLMs that dropped nothing but cash and ammo. WTF was that about! So I decided to leave and try somewhere else. On the way out got mauled by a Tubby Stalker, a strange looking thing. took him out, saw color which turned out to be a Legendary Assassin COM. Gave it to my Zero mule for future use.
Went to Thousand Cuts to look for LLMs since there are currently no bandits there. Thought I’d take a shot at Terra while there. Bad idea. 
Couldn’t do enough damage to him fast enough and was having trouble taking out his tentacles for second winds. Found 3 LLMs around Thousand Cuts and all just dropped cash and ammo.
I think the RNGods are telling me it’s time to take a break from Pandora, and they are not the only ones.

I can definitely relate to bad RNG. We farmers…we have good days, and a lot of bad days.

Spawned Vermi today after the 3rd attempt. I system linked the wifey’s XBOX to mine and brought in a mule on each so there were 4 players. Had everyone in the basement of the farmhouse in Tundra Express while I cheesed him with the PimpDerp combo. Only dropped the Blacklight skin for my Zerker which I already had. 
I then decided to continue bringing Axton through UVHM. He was parked at the Bloodshot Stronghold waiting to do A Dam Fine Rescue. Killed the warden and his buddies and went back to Sanctuary. I then took my Mecro out for a few farming runs in the WEP in an attempt to get a better Legendary Mechromancer COM but no dice.

All I got were two E-Tech Relics, on my second go at farming. One Incendiary Bone (which helps my Heart Breaker shotty plenty, and stacks with my Legendary Hunter Mod for a whopping ~+71% Cooldown Rate - heck)**, and a Corrosive/Explosive/NE/Recharge Rate Skin.
Even though my Hyperion Zer0 is 62, I’m still going to try to conjure up a Butcher (which, as I think about it, may be the best H-Corps shotty for him, we’ll see) and latter hunt Tubbies for a Legendary Killer Mod.

Started playing with the Community Patch and started with Gaige this time as I already took Maya to OP8 and wanted to try everything out.
Overall, not having too much fun with Gaige, I don’t care too much for having a “Pet” fight for me and while Anarchy is strong, it overall just doesn’t feel that fun to play as so far. Just got her to Ellie at about level 11. Debating whether to keep trying her and hope she improves or move to another class. Just mindlessly relying on a pet or spraying and having the bullets richotte even if I miss to hit them just doesn’t feel that fun. Very strong though, just not all the thought out.
Thinking about trying Zer0 or maybe take another Maya up with the new patch. Either that or maybe Krieg but not Sal, that guy was boring as crap and mindless. Not sure how I would feel about Axton.
Edit: Was thinking about taking Gaige up as the middle tree with Electrical damage, but from what I have read, not too good that way.
Edit again: Also thinking about learning to mod to try and create a class I thought up a while back.

Gaige’s middle tree is fine - the thought of lower accuracy kept me out of Anarchy until I finished UVHM, and then I figured I’d give it a try. If you get a good shock sniper rifle, Sniper Gaige is a thing. Interspersed Outburst gives you free slag (and with the right cadence and technique, you can keep kills up alongside full stacks of IO so Evil Enchantress will be on deck).

I played Axton through UVHM and felt the same way about his turret. I’ve found Krieg much more fun, especially when I get it right. I’ve also found that now when I play Axton I use the turret less. In fact, occasionally I forget to use it. I guess each class can contribute something to improving one’s playstyle. I’ve never played Gaige but suspect she would also.

I haven’t played BL2 all week. Work has been crazy and I’ve been getting home tired and stressed - so I’ve been basically working out, making/eating dinner and going to bed. I actually have been playing (shhhh)…another game…Dishonored - it’s a lot more relaxing.
Anyways, I felt that burning sensation in my loins tonight and, after I made sure it wasn’t gonorrhea, fired up BL2 and went to the Peak with my OP0 melee Zer0. Having done an OP0 fun run on the Peak with SRG a while back, it was my vague intention to have a go at climbing the Peak with 72 gear.
Well I yawned my way though three rounds to unlock OP3 :
The only irritants were the two SBA surveyors in the BQ area. ■■■■ it, said I, and put the Bee on for those two. Also had another surveyor get stuck in a cliff, but I’ve got tricks to deal with those guys. Otherwise the runs were a bit too easy - not even a FFYL. Nice I wasn’t too rusty.
Work will continue to be insane for me unfortunately , so I’m still going to be staying clear of the Ninja Trials which makes me very sad. All these great players keep appearing

Gained a level and a half on my Gaige, so I’m sitting in the middle of 56. Somehow managed to kill Wilhelm without too much trouble. It was actually a rather epic battle and I thought he felt as dangerous as the storyline suggests he is this time around. It was a strange flurry of swapping between slag, corrosive and shock weaponry in order to keep killing his repair surveyor trio so I could actually do damage to Wilhelm. Don’t think I was able to out dps the 3 healing him at once. Lots of fun though. Only had to restart it once.
That kill goes to the guys that gave advice in that thread I made, I think. I entered FFYL at least 4 times in that fight, actually being able to hit the surveyers with a corrosive sniper is what got me back up every time. I wasn’t carrying snipers at all before the Discord idea, let alone elemental ones.

11? That’s a bit early for a call ! I don’t use DeathTrap much on my Mechro. Other than to “keep them busy”. Didn’t specced in anarchy until much later, when I had enough points. Focusing on BFF and LBT at first. You can go the Best Friend Forever tree without putting much points in DT or using it a lot.
As with every other VH. She get better as you level up. Wasn’t sure about the Anarchy and lower accuracy at first but I really enjoyed playing her.
