Mechromancer is up!

[Thor.]

Remember i did pre order it and i still got nothing, depends on where you get it of course, but if they advertise it they should deliver.. As i mentioned before i feel ripped off.

[hoofhearted4]

only got her up to level 8 so far, and im having more fun with her then either of the other two classes ive tried; Zer0 (lvl 20) and Maya (lvl 10) and thats saying something since Mordecai and Lilith were my two favorite in Borderlands 1.

 

the Mecromancer is really strong i feel. the summon she has isnt OP or anything. it has a good health pool so it hasnt died yet even when swarmed (keep in mind, im only lvl 8 so weak enemies so far) it takes a few hits to kill most enemies so its not super strong or anything, but it does take aggro which is the best thing, and it moves around fast. i think it lasts 60 seconds and then has a 60 second cool down. i know there is 1 ability that can increase the duration is out, but idr any reducing CDR, but im going from memory here.

 

one of her tree help her and her pets survivability and help with being a poor shot. the infamous "Girlfriend Tree" i dont plan on going into this tree as the other two interest me more, however there are some nice abilities in there that could be fun to mess with.

 

the second tree has to do with here and her pet and shock damage. lots of it. one ability in this tree (the last one IIRC) involves you shooting your summon with an elemental weapon, and then it deals damage equal to the element you shot it with. could lead to some very good combos and strategies.

 

the last tree, and the one that i see getting very strong as to do with an ability called anarchy. whenever she empties a clip she gets a stack of anarchy. which gets her +1.5% (i think, idr) Gun Damage and -1.5% (again not quite sure. both are 1. something) Accuracy. so the more stacks you get, the more damage you to, but the less accuracy you have, i see this being extremely strong with shotguns. the catch is, if you reload you lose all your stacks. with this ability (which you can only stick 1 point into) you can have up to 150 stacks. there is another ability which gives you +50 to the stack (not sure how many points you can put into this one) so thats a lot of gun damage!!...there is another abilitiy i forget what its called, but when you reload with ammo left, you can 1 stack of this (limit 1 stack) which gives you bonus reload and Health Regen (and some other stuff i think, but the Health Regen is the main appeal) while you have this stack on you lose your Anarchy Stack very fast, reloading with ammo left again will shut this stack off....now im not sure how this works exactly since when you reload prematurely (as its called in the abilities) you lose your Anarchy stacks almost instantly, so im not sure that if you unlock the other ability if you not longer lose them instantly or just at a fast rate instead. when i get more levels and can unlock more abilities ill update.....the rest of this particular tree looks bland. does some stuff with the Anarchy stacks but none are necessary, meaning you can get those two abilities in like 10 or 15 points, then invest into one of the other trees (in my case, the second one i think)

 

so yea, as i said, when i invest more into her, as i can tell she will be my main toon from now on, ill post back exactly how everything flows with each other, and also update the exact stats of her abilities. but yea, seems fun. in her case, if her class mods give her any ammo regen, i can see it being super strong. because with her you want to empty clips, so with unlimited ammo, you could sit there, fire guns, build up max Anarchy, and do some insane damage. if Gearbox was smart they wouldnt give her ammo regen, as i think it would just be too strong, and ruin the fun of her Anarchy tree.

I just experienced a really annoying glitch

At first I thought the Controller that was messed up, but its actually a very annoying glitch, the turret l2 button doesn't want to kick in, and the turret i use a lot with Commando. Very, very annoying. Every sense the patched i haven't had any glitches until now.. Strange one at that to.

 

 

Take it back, controllers messed up, need to fork out another 50$ for a new one, you would have thought they would have come down in price by now, hmm might see if they have any used..

wierd, i get my controller for $40 at a local store. i got a white one and an olive green one. and like 3 broken black ones lol :P

You can get a good 360 controller for $30, as long as it's not an official model. That's what I paid for an Afterglow one.

 

I'm not sure what the average pc gamepad is going for though.

in Thor's case its Ps3. and hes right, they are still up there in price. the only reason mine is cheaper is because i go to a local store where anything they sell is $5 cheaper then say Best Buy (ie, new game is $55 instead of $60) and on top of that, most of the stuff goes down in price there before it would anywhere else, hence the $40 paddle.
