God i am fed up with BS. guys being bad at the game is okay but asking to change game because you are doing things wrong is not. if you are 1.6 tall you can not ask to make basket height lower. Why not learn first and complain later?
thematical building does not equal building stupid. here is what i mean:
common mistakes people make are center around one gun; center around runing speed, center around cryo, center around grenade spam. you get the drift.
that is not to say running cryo oriented is bad or playing around movement speed buffs is impossible but you have to complement your builds. instead of asking the whole game to be remade to fit your 2 guns.
lets talk about cryo since it is the most commonly misused by zane players. just because you want theme of freezing enemies does not mean all your guns shall be damn cryo. first of all there are always enemies immune to certain element type. secondly there are times when you have to mix it up, you can not just ask for every enemy to be frozen and dead regardless if trash mob or a vault boss! compliment your build frozen enemies are easier to hit right? pair up your cryo nighthawking or crossroad with powerful sniper or pistol like unforgiven or monocle. the most comon complaint is annointed enemies, well boo heckin hoo they are immune to cryo so what they are still fairly easy to get around if you for a moment use a proper element or kinetic damage. do not put all your eggs into one basket, make builds that have all around viability in mind. do not only run guns that can not shoot air borne targets. if you have a ranged weapon and can not hit flying varkids or rakks, it is not games fault. if you finally come across armored enemy and you have no corrosive or cryo weapon to show for, it is you fault not games, do not ask to remove or nerf armor.
about builds that want to copy ryan centrals dumass idea, it is viable but think of what you are doing, if you run rough rider do not spec into adrenaline and then cry that it does not work, get the guns that suit the build like guns that require low accuracy and are hipfire friendly. like laser sploder or long musket you can not expect any gun to be hipfire trigger happy.
general way to make a functional build for mobbing: think about the obstacles you have to face in game.
1.shields -gear yourself up with a strong shock weapon/grenade
2.armor- have at least 2 options for corrosive damage opened preferebly at laest 1 for ranged targets and 1 limied but strong close quarters, or just ranged is fine.
3.immunities- is something flash and resists fire? have yourself a radiation weapon or a cryo will do fine. immune to shock but has shield? radiation or kinetic damage will do the trick. immune to cryo damage? stop trying to freeze it then use fire rad or kinetic. etc etc
4.bullet reflection-… you shall… haha just kidding it is terrible game design idea and there is nothing you can do about it…jk 2 you can still use splash dmg only or nades good luck.
tl’dr build around your strengths but do not pigeon hold yourself into 5-6 items. game gives you plenty of options and use them wisely. my general advice is to carry 3 sets of 3 elements. for example fire smg,ar,shotty, shock pistol,ar,nade. radiation sniper,launcher,SMG. do not let the game empty up your ammo pool and meet the challenges it throws at you with brains not “muh build”
