asking for my lad - i have a level 50 moze (not actually used much at that level) with various items and am far from an expert with the character but most items seem fairly wasted given iron bears fairly long cool down (unless i am missing something lol).
as annointed items seem to be the way to make mh4 more “user friendly” i am wanting to send some items his way and was wondering what is useful for moze.
many thanks in advance.
If you want to make the most of anointment bonuses, you kind of need to eject yourself from Iron Bear immediately after entering him to make Moze as efficient with them as possible, which is what makes Auto Bear one of Moze’s best and key skills in Mayhem 4.
The one anointment bonus to look for with grenades is easy - 25% bonus gun, grenade and action skill damage for 6 seconds after throwing a grenade. It’s practically tailor-made for Moze and it’s a damage buff that doesn’t require kills or entering and exiting Iron Bear to start gaining momentum. You can’t toss grenades while piloting Iron Bear though so you can’t enjoy the bonus AS damage while inside, but you will enjoy it if you run Auto Bear which is a major DPS buff in itself because you’ve got Moze firing her guns as well as Iron Bear at the same time.
For shields, it depends on what you want. If you’ve still got something between 60-100% of your max health depending on whether or not you put points into Thin Red Line, then you’ll want something like 75% max shields and health for 25 seconds - pair this with an Auto Bear build and you can make that 25-second buff go on and on without deactivating. Or something like 5% health regen after ASE which is great because Moze has no health regen in her skills, only Vampyr which is a very conditional sustain skill. But if you’re running a 1 hp build, these anointment bonuses will be of no use to you, so probably something like extra cooldown in that case.
For guns, that depends also on your weapon choices plus IB cooldown. I’m more of a fan of 50% bonus elemental damage for the next two magazines because it’s not time-restrained and Moze has the means to keep that bonus going indefinitely with her ammo regen skills, but it only activates if you’re holding that same weapon when exiting IB; it won’t activate if you’re holding a different weapon on IB exit and then switch to it. If you’re using splash weapons and running an Auto Bear build, you’ll get more out of the bonus 120% splash damage for 18 seconds. If you want something for heavy weapons, there’s an anointment where you don’t consume ammo for 5 seconds after exiting IB.
You’ve got options even as Moze who lacks overall build variety in Mayhem 4 compared to the other vault hunters, but it’s best to figure out what build, guns and gear you want to run with first, then work out which anointment bonuses you want with them.
appreciate the rundown, many thanks bud
Have you seen this on any launchers? I keep an eye out for it but I’m pretty sure I haven’t seen it once on a launcher?
You can get this on a shield and on a grenade, which will work for whatever equipped weapon you have.
I myself don’t use heavy weapons so have not paid attention to if they have that anointment or not.
What? There’s an unlimited ammo for 5s anointment on shields and grenades?
