And kicks more butt than a Storm Front. This from someone who has always used and farmed Storm Fronts relentlessly, the Elec Chair is Better.

I started using grenades aggressively with Krieg only toward the late levels.
Might have to give this a try. That would mean bringing him back in the rooster though.

Farmed this horrible horrible thing for a friend yesterday.

I did tried for a DP when I made it to 80. Settled for a matching grip Intense and it’s better then that thing.
I tell you this cuz he spent hours trying to get a DP.Decided to help him on my side and got … that… on my second run. Tried to tell him it wasn’t that good but he wouldn’t listen. Oh well.
Thing is I forgot to call a mule to buy it so now I’ll have to make a bunch of Pete’s run to get my tokens back. np. Wanted to tried the Amigo and Toothpick on him anyways.

Started working on a little project. If everything goes as plan I should have something to publish some time Saturday.

If I took an unplanned 3 hour nap because I did two big walks this morning and was exhausted, and my game was turned on, unpaused, with Kriegtober standing beside an ammo vending machine, doing his character’s idle patter, and my system / controller never turned off during that time because of how I have my power save settings, and Spotify was playing on low volume, does that mean Kriego took a 3 hour music appreciation seminar?

Kriegosity just organized and hosted a rather lovely tea party.

Clean up was a bitch, though.

Didn’t want to do a Peak run tonight, so just messed about.
One round of Barroom Brawl, maybe collecting tokens for a new UH. Interestingly, while the right folks did drop tokens, no-one dropped any eridium. I don’t think I’ve ever had a BRB where no eridium dropped.
Then to the Dust to try and get an on-level shock lyuda.
9 runs, 2 Tubbies, got a OP5 Leg. Torch. Eh, I am never going to get a psycho to the OPs, gonna sell it.
OP3 Leg Cat, good! Wait, it’s 27 percentage points less damage than my lvl 77 Cat! What the heck!
One Goliath Blaster with a corrosive launcher, oh no! He actually hit me with a rocket, but whew the DOT didn’t proc!
Second tubby dropped me a OP 3 Tunguska. Thanks, might be a interesting 2nd wind gun. Of course the first thing I did with it was blow up a Buzzard :slight_smile:
No Lyudas, not even a Veruc.
That’s it, will do Peak stuff tomorrow evening.

Tried to Pimp Duuurp OP 10 Hyperius a few hours ago. Did not go well. I guess you need a World Burn now?

First up was TVHM Psycho Anarchist, who Fastballed his way through The Burrows and Helios Fallen, then Mount Scarab. Felt like I was going down a lot more than I should have been - those e-tech equipped New Pandoran types are a a pain. One of them dropped my Maya’s DLC head, so I think I only have one left to collect.

Uranus was a giant STINGY PITA - after much searching I found a Gub lurking almost in the scenery, but that was it for anything above purple rarity. Cassius was also a pain until I discovered a glitch spot. At least he was more generous - got a Baby Maker and a Deliverance from him.

Bailed before heading to face Hector since my backpack was stuffed. I checked to see if I had any BAR perks to assign, and discovered I’d spent the whole session with BAR turned off - I must have toggled it to force a save just before farming a mission reward last week some time!

Next on deck was Boosted Axton, also now running main story in TVHM. He did the whole ‘Rescue Roland’ thing without breaking a sweat. An explosive AR, corrosive Gwen’s Head, and none-elemental Thre-Dog did the bulk of the work throughout - most efficient! No drops to speak of, but it was a much more enjoyable run than the Krieg one.

I decided that I wouldn’t try to farm a level 80 Inflammable Hide of Terramorphus because it took too gawd-damned long to get the level 72 version. Also decided that it would be quicker to restart UVHM at level 80 and run through the story to get a new Love Thumper than it would be to level up my one remaining character who had not yet done “Best Mother’s Day Ever” from 72 to 80…

I REALLY hope there’s a way to reset specific quests or level up “special” gear in BL3. (There’s a reason certain… alternatives to mind-numbing farming… are so popular)

I experienced the same. My Duuurp was, however, only op8(but a perfect one). I was able to take him down twice from FFYL. At the old OP8 I could get two kills on Hyp per gunzerk. I was only doing it to get an op10 Evolution. Fortunately he dropped Evo’s on both of my sub par kills so I haven’t tried again since. I may try the World Burn and see how it goes, but I expect that the projectile spread will be too much. May be that we can’t cheese Hyperius anymore.

OT:
Spent a little time in Writhing Deep bouncing around with my Toohpick/Retainer combo. Ran a couple failed attempts at Haderax. I’ve come to the conclusion that @nat_zero_six is right. On console(PS4 anyway) there is no way to get to the “cheese spot” before Haderax spawns. I tried everything I could think of. I decided after a couple runs that I’ll probably be better off learning this kill at op0. I did farm the red chest in the arena for a bit and ended up with a really nice Topnea.

I switched over to my op0 Zer0 and farmed Gettle for a Lyuda. Holy Schmoly!..op0 is so nice after playing at op10 for about a week now. I actually have a chance if I get hit by a DoT. Also with the Amigo, slag is really not necessary. After farming Gettle for about an hour and coming up dry I decided to check my mules…lo and behold, I already have a perfect Gromky Lyuda at lvl80.

Next I farmed for a Chaotic Neutral Rogue at the Unassuming Docks. So far have only gotten a True Neutral. I probably have one(CN) already on one of my numerous Zer0s but I enjoy this farm so I kept at it for a while. Again, the Amigo made it a pretty fun.

I may farm a Fire Conference Call, but I do actually have a Shock w/ matching grip. At op0 this should suffice, no?

Spent the last session running a Mechromancer through the Tiny Tina DLC to get the famed Amulet. Next stop: My Brittle Pony…

Only that @Slif_One is so badass that giving them a second siren makes OP10 almost a triviality. Master of Maya, after all. It says so right there, and I am a believer. :grin:

Yes.

That.

In all seriousness, this is true. Two Sirens is as good as four Gunzerkers.

Finished up the Lilith DLC with Zero. Could not kill Haderux. Would get 3/4 of the way up the cliff trail and he’d put me in FFYL. Rarely had a shot at his crit spots and the best I managed was to take out 1/4 of his health. After 200 ridrock I called it quits.

Hadn’t tried out the new levels above 72, so woke up Dom Sal de la Vega from his siesta and headed off to do some Pimp Durping. That was an education! First lesson was with Hyperius. Yeah, the 2 levels he’s higher makes a difference. Only managed to kill him once in about 8 tries. The rest of the time he still had 1/4-1/2 of his health and Sal was in FFYL. So, headed off to Pete’s Bar to farm up a new Duuurp from the Torgue machine and do a little practice on Pete. That didn’t go so well either. Managed to kill him every time but it was definitely harder than before. Finally got a nice purple Deep a Duuurp which brought the mag up to 13 so had to pull all points out of FttB to get it back to 12. Recorded a few rounds with Pete captive on the wall so I could see what was happening in slow motion. The new Duuurp was an improvement but Sal was still only doing just under 1 mil damage with the Pimp. One mag from the Pimp would take all of Pete’s shield plus 1/3 of his health. Again, I guess it’s just his 2 extra lvls making it harder.
Got a Butcher from the upstairs chests. I tried it out later and had fun with it. Strapped on a Deputy’s Badge and went hunting, That thing is like a gatling gun when it gets going and ya gotta love the ammo regeneration, I liked it, despite the Torgue parts.

Left Pete’s and went back to try Hyperius again, but had a new problem. The extra shots from the Duuurp mag (was a 9 with the prior Duuurp) added too much time before the Pimp started cutting into him. His shield would be full strength before I’d get half way through the Pimp mag.
It didn’t go well and I was soooo looking forward to farming him again.

Took B.B. to go get bandit parts and fetch Roland.
Bandit parts was fine except another idiot bandit ran off the cliff and dropped his part out-of-bounds, makes me grumpy when they do that.
Then into the dam. Two interesting things;

  • Mad Mike spawned early. Usually you go through two full waves of lower-level bandits before his roll-up door opens and he comes out. This time he actually appeared at the start of the 2nd round, I barely noticed, almost didn’t send him my gift Teslas.
  • Second, well, someone walked into my office to get a decision on something as I was typing this and I forgot what thing 2 was…

Anyway, she’s done with that, back in Sanctuary.

He does that if you get too close to the door he comes through on the second wave. It can be a pain if you don’t notice the extra red dots in time!
