I’m sad that Zane has become too powerful. Maybe I’d be happy if he’d gone a step further than before. But he ascended to heaven with the new class mod. Just below the throne at the highest point Amara has ever held.
If she were Gunzerker with DPUH and Grog Nozzle, he would be Gunzerker with weaker Gears. Especially when he’s with a brainstormer or redistributor.
Many people enjoyed it that way, but I didn’t enjoy it. So I think now is the time. 
Just use a different COM?
tbh there is nowhere you can go there is only moze D
if you need executor co op buddy add me
You don’t have to play into the meta. It’s PvE afterall. I didn’t enjoy playing cryozane that much and speedsliding Zane was a bit to much on my reflexes.
Trying to make weird things work is what I enjoy so that helps. Shock Host with heavy PD and Coldbore for very close range work with the Transformer was really fun. Did a Knifedrain/WhiteElephant with FP and Doubled Barrel for a while. Amazing sustain, but damage was meh. Terror ammoregen is effin amazing.
Experiment, find a new meta I’d say.
some cursed people like us only ever play hardest content which is not very experiment friendly.
Spent like idk 20 hours on M3 and M4 Slaughter Shaft with FL4K one week testing and trying skill and item comps to find something I liked and worked consistently XD. I’m doing Zane after the holidays and it should be a fun time 
Noone forces you to play him effectively. Ever since release I’ve been playing Clone and Drone Zane with no cryo skills and no barrier and I’ve had a great time so far. I mean, to be fair I am using and enjoying the new COM, particularily because it gives me some much-needed boss-killing potential but I’ve never had issues using the good old Executor or Infiltrator before instead.
Depends on the build, I solod Wotan with knifedrain FP, took ages, but it was exhilerating, Haven’t felt that in a game for years. Heck on M4 seemed a nice middleground in terms of difficulty (betweem M3 and M4 hardest content)
Is this not fun for you?
Hashtag how much sarcasm
try something else, maybe a manufacturer build.
my zane takes after my zero in that outside of shotguns and launchers, they just use dahl (shottys and launchers allowed as dahl dont make any).
I pity what the Gearbox developers have to go through because of threads like this. There’s been thread after thread since the game LAUNCHED asking for Zane buffs. Asking for something to make Zane better. Gearbox finally does give him a GREAT tool to make him better, and then theres this saying a class mod makes him too strong, now I’m leaving the character. Like what?
Literally just don’t use the classmod if, for whatever reason, you want to make the game harder on yourself. I for one am extremely happy Zane has this class mod, because now I can keep up with every other character in the game.
That’s kind of the problem though. They didn’t fix Zane at all. They slapped an op no effort required com on him. And it’s PAID class mod being the next part of the issue. No DLC? ■■■■ out of luck for you!
You need all 4 characters so you can play the underdog after every patch. Honestly Zane is fun to play now and he’s my main but I split my time between most characters and just playing around with quirky builds.
To elaborate on your point further.
I think it is a bad precedent for new COMs to be the devs go to way to fix characters. It creates an environment were players are choosing COMs to cover up weaknesses instead of to enhance builds.
Man, i hate it when people call Zane great or to powerful. We have endured for months with him being the bottom toon. The third wheel. Now he gets a little bit of respect and he still inst OP like Amara or Moze.
I very much agree with this statement
So Very true
they did not give zane any buff tho now did they? MR.smartass all they did was give him a com that literally rewards you for shooting… yeah
Before you go… can I have all your anointed gear? j/k 
TBH that looks incredibly fun to me. I wish I could FL4k working somewhat similarly with their pets
