Borderlands: Skill Tree

My Hunter build. I found using the bird was way more trouble than it was worth.

My 1 second CD bird which hits 5 targets (at the moment, will hit 9 targets once maxed) would like to talk with you.

1 second cool down? what is your mod. I NEED IT

i have cooldown perk maxed along with a mod that gives +36% action skill cool down and +40% bloodwing damage. shit is so cash, but yours sounds even better

Ranger mod
+~40% Team Accuracy
+4 Predator
+3 Bird of Prey
+3 Focus


I could benefit more from other mods I've collected (I keep one of each) but really this just makes Bloodwing too effing awesome not to use.

I'm using the exact same type of mod as you, Magus. I'm loving my Hunter but honestly Bloodwing is way too overpowered in Playthrough 1. If your bird is not destroying everything it manages to get an attack on then you are doing something wrong. : p

You say that like it's a bad thing, I love it killing everything and dazing big guys like Bruisers/Badasses. XD

So I happened to find this in my inventory when I logged on this morning.

Respec'ed(sp?) to try it out with a focus on Bloodwing. Pretty impressed by it.

[Maguspk]

Wow so mods don't get better as you level I see, heh.

Most skills seem to have a hard cap on them, I've noticed that none of my Mordecai class mods have had +5 to any of his stats, for example. I think +4 is the best you can get.

[Kiarax]

I think it caps at +10 in skills. The top bonus does seem to go up a bit as you level though, highest I saw in Playthrough 1 for Siren Merc mods was SMG damage +48%. On Playthrough 2 I came across a SMG damage +52% one. I've seen a few other mods with higher than 50% bonuses too, which I never saw on Playthrough 1.

[Mots]

Yeah, I'm gonna respec Mordecai the next time I play because in playthrough 2 Bloodwing doesn't seem to pull his weight as much anymore. I could get a lot more use out of larger magazine sizes for pistols and sniper rifles seeing as how I just don't ever use Bloodwing anymore.

And hell, if I change my mind later it only costs 7k to respec again.

If you mean +10 as in 5/5 and +5 on a class mod, I didn't think anyone had reported seeing a class mod with higher than +4 in a skill?

[Kiarax]

I meant on the mod, highest I've seen is a combination of +10 (+4, +3 and +3 for example). Not sure what the actual highest is per skill, but +4 is the highest I've seen personally.

Oh. Gotcha, and yeah, that pretty much lines up with anything I've seen thus far too.

So I'm about to hit level 30, I see that weapon containers every time I log in have something different in them - anyone want to throw some tips on where to port to to find some close/easy/common ones to open before I start leveling again? I'd like to start off each session by grabbing a few chests cause my weapons are becomming very outdated.

New Haven is good for farming somewhat decent chests, if you really want top notch items though the best chest to hit is the dev chest in West Rust Commons, although you pretty much have to die every time you pick it up.

[Kiarax]

There's 5 in New Haven (2 red, 3 silver) that are very easy to get. Skip to 55 seconds in, he left in the fucking retarded long load time for some reason.

What is this dev chest you speak of?

Edit: Found it, nvm.

You don't really need to ramp the vehicle up like that, you can just jump up to that ledge, but that chest has crazy good items on playthrough 1. Just normal loot on playthrough 2. I've gotten 3 or 4 oranges out of that chest and tons of purples, all that match my current level whenever I go to it. Gotten some sick grenade and class mods too.

[Kiarax]

Still at the start of playthrough 2 on both my characters, so can't reach it on there yet anyway. Just tried it out on Playthrough 1 and got an SMG with 75 x2 damage, bullets bounce around off walls. Shame it's not as good as some of my other weapons now, still pretty awesome.

Everytime I try to get it, it ports me away as if i died but before the warning has ran out. I cant even get close to see if the chest is even there.

edit nvm it somehow worked that time

You have to hug the right wall. If you step out into the open area it's instant death.
