Offhand pimpernel vs dragons

Is there A specific spot Ishould aim the pimp to maximize effectiveness? Or a better way to hit the crit? If I don’t kill them right away I get wrecked. And I don’t really feel like farming the creamer. I got an op8 Banbury pimp with a op8 durp 5 mag size. With a purple true neutral monk. And an explosive 35% relic. Don’t really have a better shield so I got a purple tediore. If I hit just right they die fast but I’m having trouble finding the sweet spot. Once healianth and incinerator are gone it’s cake. Just need advice for faster dps on the first two

i just hit in the body when they are in the air and below the head when they land. maybe your better of with a legendary gunzerker for longer gunzerk time, that is what i used and for the relic i used the torgue allegiance relic boosting mag size for the durp. i usually take out incinerator last because of its shield phase wasting gunzerk time.

It depends on a few factors.

The pimp’s orbs are affected by anything that affects your off hand rocket launcher. So if it has Maliwan parts that accelerates rockets speed, the orbs will also fly faster and farther.

You should test your particular setup for that first, but usually a good place to aim is directly at the ground under their head when they’re landed.

I have all parts that do not increase missile speed on my rocket launcher. It works ridiculously well for just about everything else. I guess it’s just harder to find the sweet spot on the dragons.

I’m curious, what’s your launcher?

Like @DeputyChuck said, rocket speed affects the Pimp orbs. The Creamer, FYI, has a high rocket speed so good luck hitting the dragons with it (I suppose don’t bother farming it). The best RL to use for this exploit is a purple Durp (Torgue RL with Torgue barrel) with magazine prefix/accessory and part combinations which makes it has 7 mag size, which when combined with Neutral Monk COM + Filled to the Brim, will make it has 12, the max mag size to exploit Money Shot.

Well I wish mine had 6 mag size could not get one to show up but the rocket speed is really low. It’s got 5 mag size so 10 after the com and skill.

Based on looking at the Salvador build. The creamer might work nicely if healing is needed. Probably should farm a blue true neutral monk and get a 6 mag size durp. I don’t know how much those two will affect my dps but +11 money shot beats +10. Every bit counts I guess just a pain to farm.

Now further question. In the video he used a 4 mag Ahab how does that compare to a 6 mag derp?

Technically, the Ahab is capable of slightly higher damage, but the Duuurp is extra slow, so it aims better, resulting in better results usually

You probably already know this, but since it has not been mentioned, I’ll throw it out there. Is your RL ammo empty? Just checking. :wink:

Finally found it. I was digging through Joltz vids as I remember him posting footage of what I believe you’re trying to accomplish. I hope this helps you. :smile:

Thank you very much. That seems better to me then the derp. And possibly and easier farm to get the Ahab.

The Duuurp can be had from Torgue vending machines, so it’s not exactly a hard farm either :stuck_out_tongue:

Yes but I put a couple hours into the vendor at Pete’s bar and the one I got took forever to farm. It had the slowest speed possible with the damage accessory. Not to mention Master Gee would be a good way to get some easy crystals and maybe a norfleet too

Hyperius doesn’t drop the Ahab, Gee does …

Yea I realized my mistake there. Maybe in my mind it was just an excuse to kill Hyperion for the evolution shield that I wanted

Came across an Ahab and used it with the pimp. Compared to the durp it spreads the orbs quite a bit further. But the Ahab also has roughly 8mil more damage on the weapon card. And with the pimp it’s powerful. But I think a 6 mag derp would be comparable to its power since itd benefit more from moneyshot

on bigger enemies like terra or craw, ahab might be better, i might be wrong though. I still prefer durp.

Ahab is not frustrating to get

This makes me wonder, is the Ahab or Duuurp! better? I have a 6 mag derp Duuurp! with the bandit exhaust, Torgue grip. Can’t remember which sight right now. I’ve never even owned an Ahab, but I can go and get one if it’s worth getting.
