strong utilization of the cryo element whist sticking with the fast paced covert operative playstyle that zane brings to the borderlands
-Gear and Spec-
My main loadout consists of: Night Hawkin (SMG) ; Lucian’s Call (Assault Rifle) ; The Butcher (Shotgun) and for the forth slot it’s up to you but I have a Flakker (shotgun) for heavier targets such as annoying annoited enemies (who resist cryo damage)
Fairly good but does not work in most places due to high shield levels. It is a fun build definitely viable and enjoyable for flash only enemies. Points in frozen heart are wasted damage scales bad.
If I’d mention all changes I’d make it would be the build I was playing. But a few logical mistakes were made that I can point out.
The cryo nova does close to no dmg, the cooldown it has makes it utter garbage, but you can keep one point in it for applying the cryo debuff. This opens up 3 points for other skills.
Per clone activation you use 4 grenades, one kill regenerates 160% that means around 18 grenades and once every blue moon use up one additional grenade. That’s out of proportion and a waste of one or two points. I personally think one point is enough if you go primarily mobbing, 2 points are the absolute maximum.
Additionally I think old-u and digital distribution don’t fit together, it’s either one or the other, since with digital distribution the clone will pretty much always die before you do.
Shockerator has no buffs for any of your high values skill hasn’t it? In my humble opinion cold warrior with trick of the light (good against shields btw) or executor (higher effect chance and crit dmg) are the way to go with this.
If you run a Zane, it’s pretty easy to check. Get the Pfog skill, even at lvl 1 8% x 8 seconds should get 64%. If it was capacity, that’s over 6 grenades for me. Trust me, it’s not. The only thing left to debate is wether it remembers the percentage left and continues from there or starts at 0% everytime it triggers, but what’s the point though? I pick up grenades faster than they regen at this point.
What I do like though, is the “regen 12% magazine during clone” anointing. On a COV with max sdu’s that’s between 10 and 16 a second for pistols and AR’s
Yeah, I researched it in the web and found an explanation that confirms your statement. I’m also thinking about wasting a point in there at all, especially in a game with auto pick up.
