Running through Sawtooth (tvhm) as Krieg at the moment. I generally love running through that place and just having fun, I wanted to do the same this time, so I got myself to level 50, turned in the previous mission and Toil and Trouble was set at level 47. So I figured this should be a laugh, run through with my level 50 gear (Conference call, slagga, volcano, Rubi & Bee…bee isn’t great with Krieg but it’s the only level 50 shield I had on any of my other characters and it was better than any of the others I’d come across) and just obliterate everything…Well it seems this plan was a little flawed in that all the enemies were at least level 49, and the loot midgets were level 52. The best I could do was get off a few shots with the slagga and then die while trying to switch weapons, or get off a few shots with the conference call and then still die (It seemed to be taking maybe 1 or 2 shots from any of the enemies to take out my shield and half my health). I think I’ve ended up dying at least 15 times now and I’m not even at the elevator for the first time. Eventually I ended up running away as fast as I could from the loot midgets whenever they appeared until they lost interest then took pot shots at them with the volcano. I have to say this is one of the few times I’ve got really frustrated with this game, every other area the enemies seem to level with the mission, but this doesn’t seem to be the case with sawtooth. I’ll happily admit I’m not all that great at the game, but I have never had trouble in an area like I have here, has anybody else had issues with this or is it really just me being awful at the game.
EDIT:
Sorry for the wall of text, I just felt I needed to rant before my controller ended up buried in the wall.
One last rant, the one legendary that was dropped was only a level 49 from a level 52 midget, I thought they could only drop them 2 levels below?
The reason I have two is because StV gives you a flat 12% chance to bash yourself in the face whenever you press the melee button. If you can deal with it, go for the first build, if not then go with the second. A Sickle class mod will be great to have for this.
Thanks, I’ll give them a go, I’m specced mainly into bloodlust at the moment as bloodsplosion was a lot of fun in NVHM and the start of TVHM. It doesn’t seem to be quite so effective at the moment though. I’m going to see if I can make it through with my current build without getting too stressed, if I can’t then I’ll head back to sanctuary and change it up a bit.
[quote=“chachava, post:1, topic:430655”][The] bee isn’t great with Krieg but it’s the only level 50 shield I had on any of my other characters and it was better than any of the others I’d come across[/quote]I can’t think of a more appropriate time to go burn some golden keys to get a better shield. ACNAero’s melee advice is probably sound (I don’t own Krieg), but unless you’re sniping (with whatever weapon you have) from the safety of some nook on the map (which are tricky to find in Sawtooth Cauldron), the Bee will be more of a liability than an asset.
If I had any Golden Key’s I’d definitely be using them, although knowing my luck it would take about 20 attempts to get any kind of shield, the Sanctuary chest does not like me at all (Or more accurately the RNG doesn’t). The annoying thing at the moment is that I’ve now managed to get all the way to where I need to blow up boom bringer so I don’t want to leave now and have to fight my way through all over again especially with a build I’m not at all used to.
Just died to another midget again, I can’t even get more than a few shots off before I’m taken down, and I’m definitely regretting speccing into Light the Fuse now, it looks like it could be useful with the right build, just not mine, lol. The damage everything seems to be doing seems totally out of proportion to everything else at this level in the game.
Unfortunately I’m on the PS3. I’m now at the point where I’m not going anywhere until I get through this with my current build, no matter how many times I die. It’s not like I really need the money I lose from it for anything, lol.
Ok so everything else seems to be taking a clip or 2 to die, with the turrets I took one shot at each with the Rubi and they went bye bye…I don’t even know why I’m carrying the rubi to be honest, I never have time to switch to it, lol.
Well that was an ordeal, I made it through in the end though. If I go through the Mercenary Day DLC will that only scale up to level 50 in tvhm? I’m thinking of heading through that and farming the train for a bit for a decent shield before I head back to sawtooth for another run with a new build.
One of the major problems I’ve had during this playthrough has been finding corrosive weapons, They seem to have been in very short supply whenever I’m getting to anywhere I’ll need them. I’ve had no problems in other playthroughs, just this time the RNG has not been kind, lol. I’ve changed my build now, just using Sal to farm for a level 50 UH at the moment then heading to Gingerton for the Mercenary Day DLC
